Not super easy, not super hard - middle-ground upgrades. Some begin to evolve!
🍃 1: > Snaggletooth - Evolves from bonus teeth - 110 stars
Teeth can now jut out of the mouth, but shouldn't appear to be large. Think crocodile! Note this upgrade does not add teeth itself
🍃 2: > Scarring - 110 stars

Changes the length of the tongue to be longer or shorter for all your blep-related needs. Doesn't change the color of the tongue itself

3 > Curls - 120 stars
Thick, curly hair that can be up to five inches in length. This upgrade is just a texture - it doesn't add hair itself!
