Traits

Long feathers sprout from the Ixi, often centering just above the tail in a decorative display.

• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.
• A  Mutation Station can change the shape into any sort of decorative feathers - for example, a crest on the head, long plumes decorating the body or face, and so on. Tropical birds and peacocks are good sources of inspiration, but anything flashy and showy works well for Phoenix Trails, and it doesn't have to be found on a real bird.

A marsupial-like pouch. Fairly durable.

• Pouch is a lineart edit - markings work normally underneath it.
• As it is incredibly easy for Pouch to be covered up by other mutations, especially on the Primal base, it is completely within reason to move the lines around to keep them visible.

Tufts of hair on the tips of the Ixi's ears. Many like to decorate them.

• The Fur Tuft can be any color lighter or darker than the base coat, can be any marking color on the Rixixi, can be any natural skin tone color, or can be any color on the base coat swatch.
• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

A barbed tongue.

• May be the color of the Rixixi's existing teeth, or the color of the gums/tongue.
• Comes with an optional shine layer, and can freely have shading added!

Three pairs of nostrils! Take time to smell the roses.

• Triple Snooter is a lineart edit - markings work normally underneath it.
• Lines can be moved around slightly to line up better with other mutations. Heavy lineart customization requires a Mutation Station.
• A Mutation Station can be used on Triple Snooter for alternate nostril positions, such as something like a snake's pit organs.

A long tail with a tuft of fur at the end.

• The Fur Tuft can be any color lighter or darker than the base coat, can be any marking color on the Rixixi, can be any natural skin tone color, or can be any color on the base coat swatch.
• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

Multiple Tail Mutations:

When multiple tail mutations present in the same geno without Multi Tail, any of the following approaches can be taken:

-The tails can be edited so that they all appear at once. As long as the tails appear at roughly their original size and shape, no Mutation Station is required. Lenience is given for size/shape here, as tails may need to be shrunk to better show the other tails, etc.

-Parts of the tails can be taken and pieced together into one tail - eg. Mackerel's fins on a Whip Tail, a Tail Spike on a Bushy Tail, etc. A mutation station is only required here for heavy customization.

-One tail can show, leaving other tails in the geno as invisible carriers. All tails in the geno can still pass in breeding, but they do not have to show in the design if there's just too many tails to work with.

Many wings. The most common presentation is an ethereal, swirly trail of feathered wings, but if the Rixixi has another Wing gene, that gene can present as having multiples of that type. (see Mutation Design Guides for more information)

• Wings are considered an extra appendage and markings in-range can spread to them. Markings that cover points can treat wings as if they were another limb.
• If Archangel is present with another wing type, you can have multiple pairs of the non-Archangel wing type. You can also combine the default Archangel wing with other wing types. The additional wings can be edited in size without use of a mutation station so long as the general shape remains unedited.

Three heads are better than one.

• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation. Any markings that affect the head can appear on the Cerberus heads as usual. The additional heads do not have to copy the markings or mutations of the original head.
• If a marking has its range on the head or neck (for example, Hood, Panda, or Procyonid), it only has to appear on one head - it is not mandatory for it to appear on all three. Similarly, mutations that appear on the head (eg. Horns, Whorl, Fringehead) do not have to appear on all heads, or can appear differently on each head.
• Not all mutations are in the Cerberus base - I'm sorry, the file is huge. Most of the missing mutations are lineart edits or teeth. If you have a mutation that doesn't appear in the Cerberus base, you can freely add it without a Mutation Station.
• Cerberus heads can be amputated with a Void Poison or 2x Scarification Kit. At least one head should remain on the body unless the Rixixi is a Ghost or Dullahan.
• More heads can be added with a Mutation Station.

Cerberus has its own mutation packs:
Standard Cerberus
Primal Cerberus
Domestic Cerberus

Instead of a typical Rixixi's dentition, this Ixi has mutated to have a set of completely flat teeth.

• Should match the color of the Rixixi's existing teeth.

Presentation with Contradicting Mutations:

Flat Teeth and Sharps:

When multiple full sets of teeth appear in the mouth, any of the following approaches can be taken:

-The teeth can be modified so that part of the mouth has Flat Teeth and part of the mouth has Sharps. This does not take a mutation station.

-One tooth trait can show, leaving other tooth traits in the geno as invisible carriers. All genes can still pass in breeding, but they do not have to show in the design.

The tail is thick, short, and reptilian. Detaching and regrowing the tail is possible for some Rixixi with this mutation.

• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

Floating, glowing symbols around the Ixi's body.

• Can be freely drawn by the designer rather than using the template. This does not require a mutation station.
• Can be any color - typically bright, though this is not a requirement.
• Can appear anywhere on the body.

Not the average Ixi's footprint, that's for sure.

• Can be any color lighter or darker than the base coat, can be any marking color on the Rixixi, can be any natural skin tone color, or can be any color on the base coat swatch.
• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

Smoke gathers around the Ixi, emanating from points on its body. Often scented.

• Can be any color. Is typically bright, but does not have to be.
• The opacity of this mutation can be freely altered as long as the mutation is still clearly visible.

Delicate bug wings sprout from the Ixi's back!

• Insect wings' base color must be one of the following:
  • • • • • • • Off-white or white
              • A tint of the Ixi's blood color
              • The base coat
• Markings appear on them like any other wing - they are considered an extra appendage and markings in-range can spread to them. Markings that cover points can treat wings as if they were another limb.
• The opacity of this mutation can be freely altered as long as the mutation is still clearly visible.
• You can customize the wings into the shape of pretty much any bug's. For insects with elytra, you need the Shield Wings mutation.
• If the Rixixi also has Sylvan, the Insect Wings can take on Sylvan's patterns.

Combining Wing Types

If you have multiple wing types on a geno, you're allowed to have a pair of both of them display without having Archangel present.

Big, hard protrusions at the side of the mouth. Can be used for grabbing things harder, or just looking scary.

• Can be any color lighter or darker than the base coat, can be any marking color on the Rixixi, can be any natural skin tone color, or can be any color on the base coat swatch.
• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

Many, many eyes...

• Can optionally match the color of the main pair of eyes, but does not have to, as heterochromia is free to use.
• Does have to match any existing eye color rules (such as from albinism).
• Does have to match the existing rules on pupil shape (must match the shape of an existing earth animal if not using contact lenses - something strange like a cuttlefish is fine!)

Pretty sure eyes don't go there. Sometimes causes the Rixixi's eyes to simply not show up in the correct placement.

• Can optionally remove the main pair of eyes without the use of a Mutation Station.
• Can optionally match the color of the main pair of eyes, but does not have to, as heterochromia is free to use.
• Does have to match any existing eye color rules (such as from albinism).
• Does have to match the existing rules on pupil shape (must match the shape of an existing earth animal if not using contact lenses - something strange like a cuttlefish is fine!)

Multiple tails! If the Ixi has a different tail trait than default, such as Whip or Bushy, those can display multiples without a Mutation Station!

• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.
• The Ixi can display multiple tails of any tails that it has the genes for - be it the default tail or any mutated tails.
• If the Ixi has multiple tail types in its genotype, all of them can display as multiple, or just one.
• Tails can be moved around, modified in size and shape, merged, and otherwise tweaked to better show this trait however the designer wants. A mutation station is only required here for heavy customization.

A long, strong tail, capable of grasping and holding things. Curls in on itself in a resting position.

• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

Alternate design packs exist for this mutation:
