Traits
Artio Ears (Rare)
Kiamaras with this trait have ears shaped like those of mammals in the artiodactyla families, such as rabbits/hares, cows, horses, etc.
This applies to the shape and things such as having them fluffier, flopped, bigger, etc, will need to be used in conjunction with those traits.
If not used in conjunction with a size trait, these ears must still fit inside the common-size box.
Can be asymmetrical.
Examples will be added soon c:
Bat Ears (Rare)
Kiamaras with this trait have ears shaped like those of a Bat. This means they are rounded at the base and taper to a point at the end with ribbed fleshy inner ear. These ears do NOT have a thick border around the entirety of the ear (see example image below).
This applies to the shape and things such as having them fluffier, flopped, bigger, etc, will need to be used in conjunction with those traits.
If not used in conjunction with a size trait, these ears must still fit inside the common-size box.
Can be asymmetrical.
Examples will be made prettier soon, just want to give the example of what is and isn't allowed;
The LEFT example would be accepted as Bat Ears. The RIGHT would be Draconic Ears due to the thick border around the ear.
Directional Ears (Uncommon)
Kiamaras with this trait have ears that face forwards rather than the average Kiamara, whose ears face backwards.
This ear type can also work in conjunction with other traits, such as the flopped ear trait and ear size traits. If used with the former, it must be obvious this trait is used.
These ears must still remain within the Common Ear box unless used in conjunction with an ear size trait.
If used on its own:
If used in conjunction with the floppy ear trait:
Any other ear trait, such as size traits, fluffier ears, etc can still be attached to these ears, however, the flopped ear combined with the directional ear types have specific rules.
Click one of the above examples to go to the trait you would need to obtain the looks above.
Please note; the first example is to show shape only and would be bound by the size trait applied to the ear on length.
The directional x flopped ear combinations can be styled differently depending on whether you wish to go for a more canine-based floppy ear or a bunny-based floppy ear.
this is a good example of a bunny-type flopped directional ear. If the tip is pulled upwards, it would be facing forward due to the position in front of the cheek
Whilst the shape is certainly bunny-like, if the tip is pulled upwards the ear would be facing backwards due to the position behind the cheek. This does not meet the directional trait requirement.
Mythically Large Ears (Mythic)
Characters with this trait have ears that are so incredibly larger than the average that they have only been heard of in folktales.
You can see how large this rarity allows ears to be on Kiamaras by looking at our Sizing Guides on the public line sets.
Dromedairies have no ear size guidelines and so anything outside of their original size is considered mythic.

Kiamaras with this trait have ears that are extremely larger than the average Kiamara's.
You can see how large this rarity allows ears to be by looking at our Sizing Guides on the public line sets.

You can see how large this rarity allows ears to be by looking at our Sizing Guides on the public PSD line sets.
No Ears (Legendary)
Kiamaras with this trait have no external ears.
Instead it's similar to birds where there is a small, funnel-shaped openings on the sides of their heads, generally hidden beneath their fur/hair.
These openings do NOT need to be visible on the reference unless the users chooses it.
This does not render the Kiamara deaf in most cases.
2 Sets of Ears (Legendary)
Kiamaras with this trait have two sets of ears, with there being two on either side.
Any additional ear traits being used can affect either one or both sets of ears.
These ears can only go as long as the size trait attached to the ear allows.
Unique Ears (Very Rare)
Kiamaras with this trait have ears that do not resemble that of any living creature.
This trait only applies to the shape and any size, fluffier, flopped, etc, types of ears will need to be used in conjunction with the appropriate traits.
These can be any shape desired and can even be asymmetrical if you wish.
Can be used in conjunction with size traits.
Mammalian Ears (Rare)
Kiamaras with this trait have ears shaped like those of other Mammals that aren't present on canines or felines.
These ear shapes include; Bat, Rat, Horse, Cow, Hyena, etc and apply to the shape only, and things such as having them fluffier, flopped, bigger, etc, will need to be used in conjunction with those traits.
If not used in conjunction with a size trait, these ears must still fit inside the common-size box.
Can be asymmetrical.
Cannot be humanoid in shape.
Draconic Ears (Very Rare)
Kiamaras with this trait have ears that have a shiny plating inside, similar to a Dragon's ears.
These plates are usually shiny or shaded.
The plates can be either shiny, metallic, or crystaline.
They cannot glow or sparkle unless used in conjunction with a sparkle or marking glow trait.
Fluffier Ears (Uncommon)
Kiamaras with this trait have fluffier ears than the average Kiamara.
This trait applies to any part of the ears, including tufted bits on the tip similar to a lynx.
Flopped Ears (Uncommon)
Kiamaras with this trait have flopped, or half-flopped ears.
This can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.
Must face backwards unless used in conjunction with the Directional Ears trait.
Must be common in size unless used in conjunction with any Ear-Length trait.
Guides for the official linesets can be found here.
NOTE: If you decide to have your Kiamara's ears being asymmetrical, you will need to make two references: one for each side of the Kiamara. This is so we can accurately trait the ear sizes for you.
If used on its own:
If used in conjunction with the directional ear trait:
Any other ear trait, such as size traits, fluffier ears, etc can still be attached to these ears, however, the flopped ear combined with the directional ear types have specific rules. These are only a few examples and more versions can be made depending on how flopped you want the ear to be!
Click one of the above examples to go to the trait you would need to obtain the looks above.
The directional x flopped ear combinations can be styled differently depending on whether you wish to go for a more canine-based floppy ear or a bunny-based floppy ear.
this is a good example of a bunny-type flopped ear. if the tip is pulled upwards the ear would be facing backwards due to the position behind the cheek.
Whilst the shape is certainly bunny-like, if the tip is pulled upwards the ear would be facing forwards due to the position in front of the cheek. This would only be acceptable if used in conjunction with the directional ear trait.
Eye Horns (Mythic)
Those with this trait have horns growing out of their eye sockets.
These horns must still follow the Horn Size rarities.
Oozing Horns (Very Rare)
Kiamaras with this trait have horns that seem to drip or ooze a liquid.
The liquid can be depicted as frozen.
The liquid can be a toxin/poison that can cause minor burning or temporary paralysis at most. The toxin/poison cannot be fatal.
This liquid cannot be made of blood and cannot glow or sparkle without using either the Glowing Horns or Sparkle traits.
Body Horns (Very Rare)
Kiamaras with this trait have horns growing on their body rather than their head.
These can be present anywhere on the neck, torso, limbs, or tail and do not have to be symmetrical.
Metal Horns (Rare)
Kiamaras with this trait have horns made of metal or metal alloy.
These can be any colour and should be reflective.
Metal horns cannot have any sparkles unless in conjunction with a Sparkle trait.
