Li'uhn Traits : Version #53

Examples of each of the Li'uhn types, and their average colors, traits and heights

More Detail on the breeds can be seen in the following links
Stoneclaw
Large and strong, incapable of flight, but able to run on all fours. Often found underground. Docile and calm.

Silverwing
Dainty and slim, able to fly mostly under their own power without requiring energy boosts from their natural magic.

Shadowcloak
Extremely rare and very elusive. Shy, generally only seen at night. Often seen with Nightkin.

Common
The main example of the species, the one from which all variants extend from. Commons are everywhere.

Seaborn
Fairly rare variant that lives on the shore or underwater. They are capable of existing on land just fine as well.

Nightkin
Fairly small, known for their deep blue colors and starry markings, as well as their nearly white trimming.

Flutterwing
Tiny things, but brightly colored and very pretty. Skittish and watchful. They can often be seen with Stoneclaws.

Woolie
Smol and floofy! They handle cold much better than other Li'uhn variants.

Following is a list of the traits Li'uhn can have as well as their tiers!

Li'uhn have what is known as a frill. This can be called their ears, though the functionality is quite different. The Li'uhn frill is mobile and can twitch and flick and move around like ears, and even helps funnel sound into their actual ears (On the sides of their head with reptilian like openings), but their main function, aside from emoting, is energy sensing. Li'uhn all have an energy core in their chest, the signature within unique to the individual. When they call, they let out a pulse of this energy. Special organs within the frill sense this energy and allow them to locate eachother. These energy pulses can go far and wide.

Coloration

Most Li'uhn appear in shades of black and red with golden or yellow trimming. This is true of Common li'uhn (The most common type, and the type from which all other types descended) as well as Woolies, Stoneclaws and Flutterwings.

Frill Types

The Finned frill is special in that it can only be inherited from Seaborn, and is a mythic tier trait.

Some new frills not shown on the trait sheet

Bat Frill
You can see an example of the Bat Frill on the Stoneclaw, one of the rarer Li'uhn variants. Their shape can be inspired by various bats, but are generally big and wide.

Fennec Frill
This frill type comes default with the Flutterwing Variant. They are similar in shape to the Anubial frill, but much longer and wider at the base, like the ears of a fennec fox. They come on Flutterwings by default, but can be inherited by other variants.

Lurker Frill
Exclusive to Stoneclaws, a mythic frill found only on the deepest of Stoneclaws. Often comes with a special color morph.

Wing Types

There are a few inherited Wing Types that aren't shown on this page.

Woolie Wings
Long fluffy fur, a little short, like the wings of a Woolie. Can be inherited from Woolies.

Stunted Wings
Can be inherited from Stoneclaws

Large Wings
Can be inherited from Flutterwings

Wing types can also come with some feather mutations!

Feather Mutations

The Tendril can come in many different shapes, and can appear on the tail or wing, or both. Up to three feathers can be effected, and it matches on either side. This is like the unique feathers found on nightjars.

Not shown here
Small Feathers
Inherited from Seaborn, the can also make the fur on the wings sleek, smooth and silken/shiny.

Most of these are shown, but there is one not shown here!

Tail types can combine and interact, and can be effected by various fur mutations. The Bare + Flare tail is an example of a trait interaction.

The Ribbon Tail
This long, slender tail can be inherited from the Flutterwing

Fur Types and fur mutations

Some of these effect the Frill, or effect more than the Frill, or even create different sorts of manes.
Some are inherited from a certain type. The frull fur goes on the frill, following the basic shape of the frill itself. Combinations of frill type and frill fur can create some unique Li'uhn frills!

Some frill fur types not shown

Feathered Frill
Replaces the fur on the frill with feathers.

Most of these are free fur tyoes! The tuft can either match the body, or match the mane, tail, hair and wings. The woolie mane always mates the mane tail, hair and wings.

Some not shown on this sheet

Ruffed
Can be seen on the Stoneclaw
It is similar to the Woolie Mane, but matches the body instead of the mane, tail, hair and wings.

Ragged Fur
Found on Corrupted Li'uhn, but can also be inherited from them. This fur is long and shaggy, often appearing ratty and unkempt. The mane tends to hang down over the eyes and face. Generally looks wild. The texture is bristly rather than soft. Can be compared to a werewolf.

Silken Fur
Long silky fur, tends to flow into the Flow tail fur type.

Long Fur
Noticeably longer than normal fur, but not as long as Silken or Flow. Can look fluffy, especially around the elbows, calves, wrists and feet.


Lion

Can be seen in addition. Can only appear on Stoneclaws unless inherited by another breed.
This is unique in that it can either match the colors of the body, OR the colors of the mane, tail, wings and hair.

Fur Types that Effect the Tail

Flow
No Example Yet
This makes the fur long and silken and flowing, especially on the tail. It can also be shiny. Can effect the texture of the mane.

Long Tail Fur
Makes the tail fur longer, but not as long as the flowing Tail fur. This tends to be fluffier in texture

Dust Mop
Called this because the long fur alongthe underside of the tail mups up dust like no other and can be very high maintenance!

Tail Tuft
A long tuft on the end of the tail, much longer than the free small fringe that can appear along it.

Edging
Long fur is found along the edges of the tail. Usually the color of the Li'uhn's trimming.

Mane Types

There are a few different types of manes. Some are shown here, but some are specialty!



The Lion Mane and Woolie Mane are mentioned above


There are some mutations that can be found among Li'uhn!

They come in different sorts, and some are inherited!

Mutations

Blue Eyes
Their eyes are blue instead of white. Rare. Quite striking.

Yellow Eyes
Burning yellow eyes, inherited from Corrupted li'uhn.

Red Eyes
Burning red eyes, inherited from Corrupted li'uhn. Red and Yellow eyes can interact to create fiery orange eyes.

Extended Claws
Most li'uhn claws are kept retracted, but some breeds have them extended. This gene is inherited from Woolies.

Woolie Tail
Technically a tail type, but acts more like a mutation.
Makes the tail noticeably wider than usual. Can interact with other tail types.

Fanged
Fangs that stick out over the lower lip. Inherited from Stoneclaws and Corrupted li'uhn.
Can be long, almost saberlike in some cases.

Reduced Expression
This is a marking mutation. It reduces the coverage of color mutations or special markings. Can effect trimming, reducing it.  Can create some very interesting effects between different color morphs.

Corrupted
More like an infection, twists a Li'uhn into a bloodthirsty monsterous version of itself, like a werewolf and a vampire wrapped into one. Aggressive and dangerous.

Talons
Extended claws with a wicked curve. Inherited from Corrupted li'uhn.

Jagged teeth
Mouth full of long, sharp jagged teeth. Every tooth is sharp and meant to slice and tear instead of grip and chew like normal li'uhn.

Black Trimming
Turns the Li'uhn's trimming black, prevents it from glowing.

Crossbreed
Note technically a mutation, but can result when two different Li'uhn types interbreed. Crossbreeds will appear in their traits as one breed, but have the other breed listed in their crossbreed information. They can blend features and free traits from both breeds together in one.

Webbing
Webbed fingers and toes. Inherited from Seaborn.

Digger Claws
Long claws, a little curved. Meant for gripping into rocks and allowing a li'uhn to climb effectively. Inherited from Stoneclaws.

Wing Claw
A claw on the wing, curved and capable of hooking onto things. Inherited from Stoneclaws.

Luminous
Inhberited from Stoneclaws and Flutterwings
Trimming glows at all times, brighter than the normal glow when a li'uhn channels their natural magical energy from their core. They can dim and hide this glow at will.
