Traits

The ears of the Cloakat rest on the sides of its head rather than the top, often sometimes giving it a more "humanoid" look. These can be any kind of bat ear so long as you include the lines and tragus. Note: Multiple Ears will generally look like this trait by default with more ears added. Multiple Ears trait does NOT need this trait by default.

For any Cloakat ears, the inside of the ears should always be peachy to bald in texture with a few visible ear ridges. Please also include the little nub or Tragus of the ear when drawing any ears to continue ensuring they are species-consistent. All ear types are generally to be bat-inspired and NOT other animals' ears unless a trait calls for it in this section. Can be any ear type that is reminiscent of a real bat's ears. Please do not use loopholes to replicate other ANIMAL ears, especially CAT ears. These can also be referenced from fandom bat ears like Pokemon and Monster Hunter so long as the whole design does not depict the character in its entirety. Proof request is required for bat ears looking very close to other animals' ears.

REQUIRED BY DEFAULT.

Reference "Dogs with rose ears" for a good example of this. The Cloakat can have one or more limp ears in any pattern or combination of which ear is limp (Is combinable with the multi-ears trait) You can have one, both, or more than the 2 standard ears be limp if you like. Side note: Having "limp ears" is generally uncommon with Cloakats. You can also give this to a Cloakat to give them floppy ears if you want floppy ears to look like a dog's ears so long as they still follow the ear rules of having the lined pattern and tragus underneath them. This trait requires the ear tips to remain pointy as since if theyre rounded, they can sometimes replicate event trait: rabbit-like ears.

The Bat has 2-3 sets of ears on its head instead of 1 set of ears. The ear sets all have to match/be the same ear type. Size is allowed to vary. Each ear can be pierced or scarred/scratched differently. 

This trait cannot be stacked.

Any bat nose shape. These can also be referenced from fandom bat noses like Pokemon and Monster Hunter (etc.) so long as the whole design does not depict the character in its entirety. You can also include a muzzle with the nose, just please make sure it looks like a bat and no other animal if including a muzzle. (Other animal noses are not allowed) 

This trait cannot be stacked.

Whiskers of generally any kind/shape. Any amount of whiskers is fine within reason.

Antennae of generally any kind/shape. Any amount of antennae is fine within reason. Do not make them look like horns to pass for the horned trait, please.

Horns of any kind, size, and shape. This can be a single Unicorn horn or a single set of horns anywhere on the head. (Max is 4 total sets of horns, please.) 

This trait cannot be stacked.

The Cloakat has antlers much like a deer, moose, or another hooved beast. This can be a single antler or one set. Ask if you have an Idea for more than 1 set of antlers with a reference in hand!

Usually a permanent fixture to the Cloakat. Can be just about any mask type. Rumors say that these masks are made of marrow. These masks can move and animate as if it is the Cloakat's own face. They CANNOT have functioning eyes. They CAN have a functioning mouth. The mask always seems to be on the Cloakat's person. These masks CANNOT have fursuit "Follow Me" eyes but can have "false eye markings" dependently with this trait. Additionally, Masks can have eyeholes through the mask to the Cloakats skin below if wanted. Not compatible with seers gaze OVER this trait or animated fur trait to mimic moving eyes.

A biblically accurate halo or the cartoon ring halo of your choice. These halos can be scary, pretty, or with many eyes/spikes/crowns of thorns if you wish. (The max quantity of halo is ONE for the head) You cannot make false halos with the use of things like accessories, outfits, hoods, or clothes to look like halos. (etc.) 

This trait cannot be stacked.
 

The Cloakat sports branch-like horns that has foliage that can change with the season or fall off in the winter. Both the foliage or the "antlers" can shed during the winter. The foliage type is up to you but has to be seasonally accurate! Generally, these horns will be made of any wood of your choice and in spring, summer, fall, and winter, the foliage of these horns changes appropriately to the season, it can have any foliage a tree can have that is appropriate to the current real-life season. You can also choose to keep these horns "bald" if you want. 

This trait cannot be stacked.

The Cloakat has a blooming flower of your choice on its forehead. This is generally very large in size and blooms during the day while closing to a bud during the night.
This trait also helps power up nature-based powers due to the photosynthesis it offers to the Cloakat.

Event traits are easily mimicked by combining regular traits, please refrain from doing this. We understand that it is easy to just do this, but event traits exist sheerly for fun purposes, like having unique traits pop up around certain holidays to have something cool to look forward to.

The Cloakat sports long ears that look very rabbit-like in appearance.  They can be upright or floppy/laying down (Both or one ear is fine!)
The ears still require stripes on the inside as well as the tragus. Rabbit-like ears naturally come with rabbit-like hood if wanted, but need talking hood to give it things like eye-like patterns, a nose, or whiskers.
