Traits
Claws (Sylvan)
While Sylvakits normally have retractable blunt claws perfect for digging, burrowing or otherwise, those exposed to Thornburst Pod can form long, sharp claws better meant for scratching and slicing. These claws are not retractable, but they can be trimmed if needed for any reason. They can be any size claw, but must not replace any fingers or toes. These claws grow from the nailbed, and scale down to a more manageable size in Tree Form - usually no bigger than costume claws might be.
This trait may be obtained via the Thornburst Pod item.
Multi-Tail (Sylvan)
A typical Sylvakit is born with only one tail. However, when exposed to Aetherbranched Cattail they are able to form up to four tails. These tails cannot be hidden, must all be equal in size, and all have equivalent leaf coverage.
This trait may be obtained via the Branched Cattail item.
Vined (Sylvan)
At times, it's possible for a Sylvakit to grow vines from beneath their base leaves when exposed to Farwhip. These vines must not cover more than 50% of a Sylvakit's tail, and cannot drape further than the shoulder from the ears. Much like a Sylvakit's leaves, they can be styled in a number of ways to allow for creativity, but cannot be styled to mimic other traits.
This trait may be obtained via the Farwhip item.
Crystalized (Sylvan)
Because their soil is often already infused with crystal, this trait allows parts of a Sylvakit's body to become crystalized - this crystal is magically fused with their body, and normally includes full range of motion. Crystalized parts of the body may only take up to half of the design. Arms, limbs, and small patches throughout the body are allowed. Crystalized leaves are not allowed. This trait cannot be used with the Wooden trait.
This trait can be obtained with the Crystaline Bud item.
Wooden (Sylvan)
When near the roots of a tree, though not always, Sylvakits may form parts of their body that are made of wood! Similar to the Crystalized trait, this wood typically has a full range of motion. The wood may not take up more than half of the Sylvakit's body. The wood can be any type of wood and bark texture, but may not mimic other traits. This trait cannot be used with the Crystalize trait.
This trait may be obtained via the Twistroot item.
Antlers (Sylvan)
Though typically Sylvakits mimic a certain group of mammals, they do sometimes sprout antlers depending on influences around them. These antlers cannot exceed the size of their skull, but can take the shape of any antlered creature.
This trait may be obtained via the Wyldeer Shed item.
Feathered Wings (Sylvan)
While ground animals are their typical mode of mimicry, some Sylvakits do form wings. These wings can be influenced by any bird. These wings cannot exceed the size of their torso - from shoulder to the top of their legs, and do not allow flight. Optionally, Sylvakits may have small leaves around the base of their wings and/or growing throughout.
This trait can be obtained with the Weightless Pinion item.
Pollen (Sylvan)
Usually simply called "pollen", this trait is actually a Sylvakit's influence manifesting tiny motes of plant-enriching aether. These can manifest as small specks of light or tiny daytime bugs, though they are always a single color and glow. This trait cannot be turned off, and is ever present on a Sylvakit that has it.
This trait may be obtained via the Pollenpuff item.
