Traits are found on creatures and can give them a slightly different appearance than normal, as well as affecting the skills they can learn. Each Trait is assigned a value of 1-3 for each species, this determines its rarity for that species. Traits are rolled upon creation and revealed as a creature grows.
Each growth stage has a different number of visible traits:
- Baby: 1
- Child: 3
- Adolescent: 7
- Adult: 12
Traits outside this number, regardless of how obvious they should be, will not show until the creature has grown to the point where they would.
As for what can be a Trait? Pretty much anything, from longer fur/hair to things like wings, unusual markings, and even drastic changes in appearance. Train your creatures and find out!
Traits are listed on the site for creatures.
Hybrids can also have Traits but this will work slightly differently.
