Traits
Amphisbaena (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Body Type Traits
Two heads, one on each end of the body.
Most Amphisbaena B-NOMALIES connect in the middle of the torso and therefore do not have back legs or tails, but some have been known to connect at different points.
Amphisbaena B-NOMALIES' bodies should be a mirror image of one another - literally mirroring wherever they connect, having the same - or at least visually similar - markings as well as the same traits. Their heads, however, can have different traits and appearances.
Examples: Grade B-NOM Eggs #1
Giant (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Body Type Traits
Much larger than an average B-NOMALY. May or may not be rideable. Please consult your B-NOMALY before attempting to sit on it, the labs are not responsible for any damages that occur if you do not.
While the average B-NOMALY is about 1.5 feet (46 cm) tall (mutations can cause this to vary quite a lot, and A-NOMALIES are often a bit taller as a result), Giants tend to be closer to 4-6 feet (1.2-1.8 m) tall on average. Mutations like Always Anthro, Dragon Body Type, and Fogholder can also affect a B-NOMALY's height greatly, and having multiple of these at once can "stack", creating a very large B-NOMALY.
Examples: Giant is not really represented in masterlist art, as the bun is not usually next to anything.
BISECTED! (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Body Type Traits
The B-NOMALY is cut in half in the middle, sometimes held together by internal organs, greymatter, or similar, or not held together visibly at all! This does not harm the B-NOMALY - the exposed greymatter is coated with a transparent protective membrane - but it sure looks alarming!
"Cut in half down the middle" can be interpreted as horizontally, vertically, horizontally the other way, diagonally, etc - if it's bisected, it's BISECTED! Doesn't necessarily have to be just two cuts - there should be a clear slice across the middle, but you can add additional slices.
Examples: Lemon Lava Pilot, BISECTED!
Halos (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Misc. Traits
Not necessarily circular, but still a shaped 'halo' floating near or around the B-NOMALY. Can have more than one halo, can be any level of tangibility! Can optionally glow.
Does not necessarily guarantee an angelic demeanor.
Examples: Hax, Birch Grove
Painless (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Misc. Traits
The B-NOMALY in question does not feel pain at all. Both a blessing and a curse, the B-NOM can wind up getting seriously injured without noticing, but they also have an impossibly high pain threshold, which can sometimes help them get through a situation.
Examples: Painless is not a trait that can be shown on masterlist art.
Mind Over Matter (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Misc. Traits
The B-NOMALY has the ability to control their graymatter outside of their body harmlessly - this typically involves pulling part of the graymatter out of an orifice or wound, and then moving and shaping it as desired. The greymatter, when released from the body, is encased in a thin transparent membrane to protect it.
Functional weapons are difficult to form with Mind over Matter - the B-NOMALY would need immense control over how sharp the edge is (if relevant), and a large amount of pressure and force is difficult to apply to something behind a thin membrane. While it's not impossible, the B-NOMALY would need to be very skilled! Weapons formed for practice or for show take less fine control.
When combined with the Problems mutation, Mind over Matter can create familiars made of greymatter, like Birch Grove's birds.
Examples: BlackJackrabbit Skvader, Desert Plasma
Aura Wings (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Wing Traits
Nonfunctional "wings" formed by a mass of colorful energy springing from the B-NOMALY's back!
While the energy should come from the upper back, it does not necessarily have to look like real wings at all - it can if you want to, however! Typically glows.
Examples: Lit Hearth
Shield Wings (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Wing Traits
A hard armor over the back of the wings, typically like an insect's elytra or a turtle's shell! Can be any thickness and pattern.
Shield Wings refers to the shell covering the rest of the wing, not the wing type beneath. If the B-NOMALY has no other wing trait, the shell will cover Feathered Wings. You do not have to show the wings beneath Shield Wings (Birch Grove shows this option), but you can if you'd like.
Shield Wings can be applied to any Wings, including Wing Arms.
Examples: Two Turtledoves, Tropical Dragon
Bug Wings (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Wing Traits
Insect-like wings, optionally translucent. Can appear instead of or along with any other wings.
Examples: Pastel Bandit
Dragon Wings (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Wing Traits
Leathery bat wings on the B-NOMALY's back!
Examples: Honduran White Rabbit
Archangel (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Wing Traits
Multiple pairs of wings trail down the B-NOMALY's back.
Should be the same type of wing unless the B-NOMALY has multiple wing traits. Can vary in size. Not limited in amount - if you can fit the wings on the design, you can have the wings.
Examples: Frozen Traveler, Slaughterhouse
Tendrils (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Misc. Traits
Squishy, fleshy tentacles poking about. They can be of any length or thickness, from cute little nubs to long eldritch tentacles. As strange and alien as it may look, the tendrils are almost always nonthreatening - longer ones may be able to prod about like extra limbs, but rarely have the strength to whack someone. Rest assured, they're harmless, just weird to look at.
Examples: Eight Maids A-Milking, Gummi Worms Gummi Bear
Glitter (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Misc. Traits
This bun literally forms glitter from their fur! It rains down intermittently and slowly, like a shimmering drizzle made of sparkles. Their fur is always shining, but they make quite the mess to clean up wherever they go!
Examples: Nine Ladies Dancing, Mayhem
Incense (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Misc. Traits
Parts of the B-NOMALY heat up and create a colorful, scented smoke. The most common source of the smoke is the tips of the ears, the paws, the tail, the mouth, or the horns if the B-NOMALY has them. If the B-NOMALY has any exposed scar tissue or greymatter, incense will commonly appear there as well.
The smoke typically smells pleasant, but this isn't always the case, and of course this depends on the preferences of the person smelling it. Incense B-NOMALIES also have the ability to breathe fire in short bursts.
The smoke tends to share some properties with the anarchic mists of fog-holders, and may be connected somehow.
Examples: Eleven Pipers Piping, Ice Cold Veins
Bioluminescence (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Misc. Traits
The B-NOMALY's greymatter gives off a bright glow! This can show through the skin all over or as markings. Flesh and scars should also glow!
Since this comes from inside the B-NOMALY, it often has a harder time showing on dark colors. Darker B-NOMALIES - such as Death's Lantern - can show bioluminescence, it just often shows on their lighter markings.
Examples: Twelve Drummers Drumming, Trick and Treat
Problems (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Misc. Traits
Various internal organs now float around the B-NOMALY. This, surprisingly, doesn't hurt them. It's just unsettling.
Examples: FRIED MEME, RXX-NOMALY - FRIED MEME x3
Throatpouch (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Misc. Traits
A pouch in the neck that can expand and contract, useful for storing food, water, air, inanimate objects, other B-NOMALIES, you name it. Often shaped like a pelican's pouch, frog's vocal sac, a frigatebird's throat sac, or other similar throat-based expandable pouches.
B-NOMALIES with a throatpouch often can expand their jaws further, for the sake of fitting larger things into the pouch. Friends of Throatpouch B-NOMALIES are advised to not allow them to swallow old CRT televisions, no documented case has gone well.
Examples: Champion Apple-Bobber, The Three Celestials
Sweet Matter (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Misc. Traits
The B-NOMALY is edible, and their greymatter is flavored - not necessarily, but often, sweet! This can cause problems in traditionally mortal B-NOMALIES, but B-NOMALIES capable of surviving being partially eaten (Gecko Tail B-NOMALIES, for example) can sometimes be seen offering parts of themselves to others.
Examples: Sweet Matter cannot be shown on the masterlist art, but many Sweet Matter B-NOMALIES are themed around sweets.
Always Anthro (ANARCHIE)
B-NOMALY Trait:
ANARCHIE: Body Type Traits
While most B-NOMALIES can stand on their hind legs, Always Anthro B-NOMALIES have a bipedal stance by default, often having a more humanoid shape overall as well.
Examples: Magpie Anarchie, A Giant Blizzard
