Corruption (Legendary)
Corruption is a separate colored mass attached to the Waterdog/cats body and has a goopy or lava-lamp look!

- Color changing water can be used to give corruption alternate color forms.

Transparent (Legendary)
This trait allows your waterdog to gain a ‘ghostly’ see-through effect!
Screen Face (Legendary)
Screen Face is where a simple digital screen panel replaces either part of the full face of a Waterdog!
Screen Faces can come in any color or shape and can display almost anything, including normal facial features! Screen Faces, complex or simple, replace all normal facial trait attributes unless the screen portion is partially leaving natural facial features present.
Uniquely shaped screen faces also fall under this category.
Mermaid/Gorgon Body (Legendary)
A body where the back legs/body are replaced with a mermaid/shark/snake/serpant/fish/etc tail. This trait follows the same rules as normal aquatic tails. Although they can be made entirely out of sand, the main body must still have some sort of water on it or vise-versa.
Abnormal Body (Legendary)
Any kind of specific unique body shape that is not within the confines of other body type traits. This trait is NOT the same as Breed Specific Body.
- New Abnormal Body Traits might not be approved depending on how drastic they are. If you are unsure if something works, please DM a moderator or ask in the discord.
- Abnormal Body Traits may be removed from this category and made into their own trait over time based on the popularity of it being added onto new designs and depending on if it would work as it’s own trait category. (Example: mermaid/gorgon body)

Wyvern (Legendary)
The front legs are replaced entirely with a set of wings, like a bat or a wyvern. The wrist of the wing acts as a paw in that it can hold the body's weight when placed on the ground. Wyvern wings can come in different styles. The Seraph wing trait is required for additional sets of wyvern wing ‘limbs’.
Wyverns do NOT need sand sweater if their wings are sand UNLESS they also have a set of regular paws attatched to the wings
Open Stitching (Legendary)
Stitching on a Waterdog/Watercat that is loose, revealing holes or gaps or releasing things trapped within that is not natural (stuffing, etc.). This trait also needs the ‘stitching’ trait alongside it.
Body/Limb Segmentation (Legendary)
Parts of the body or limb are able to detach and reattach at will! This includes the head.
Abnormal Wing Placement (Legendary)
Odd wing placements on the body anywhere besides the natural position on the point of the shoulder.
Breed Specific Body Type (Rare)
Breed Specific Body is used when wanting physical attributes that don't look like a 'standard' canine/wolf or cat/big cat (AKA: They are breed specific!) These would include wanting short legs, taller legs, corgi body, poodle hair, etc...
[IMPORTANT: Extended information on breed specific body (or BSB) can be found below:]
- This trait is only for NATURAL real-life animal breeds. Anything unnatural looking (like noodle-body, giraffe, etc.) would go under Abnormal Body
- 'Mini' breeds are no longer being recognized as they are a loophole for the past 'abnormal size change' trait. Any 'mini' breeds will now be considered Extra-small (XS) and will need Abnormal Body (Size XS)
- The breed specific body trait will automatically cover any other traits in the species with your design, just with the addition of BSB. This means something like a basset hound, would not need to have long ears purchased/added on to your MYO as it will be automatically added in under BSB (though we still require it to be listed.)
---
Breeds that can be naturally made with the traits we have in the species already are NOT considered breed specific body (BSB).
(For Example: An Australian Shepherd can be made by using the bob tail + folded ears trait.)
The breed you are using for your design MUST physically change the body type in some way- by either changing height, drastic fur shape (such as poodles,) length, muzzle, build, etc... Breeds that do not change the body will not be allowed to be used as a BSB-body type, as they can be made with a normal MYO.
The below Breeds/Traits are currently allowed to be used without the need for 'bsb':
Dogs:
Any 'Generic' Dog Build
Dalmation
Aussie/Australian Shepherd
Shiba Inu
Doberman
Akita
Arctic Fox
Red Fox
Cats:
Any 'Generic' Cat Build
Domestic Short/Medium/Longhair Cat
Mainecoon
Big Cats:
Any 'Generic' Big-Cat Build

Spikes/Spines (Rare)
Spikes or spines sprouting out of a Waterdog/cat. These can be located anywhere on the body. Appearance/Amount does not matter and can be made out of sand AND/OR water.
Dorsal Fin (Rare)
A vertical fin appearing anywhere on the Waterdog/cat’s back. This is not the same as the 'fins' trait.
Exposed Bone/s (Legendary)
The bones of the skeleton are exposed on the body of a Waterdog/cat! This includes realistic vertebrae bone-tails as well.
- Exposed bone tail just looks like vertebrae and if you want 'stylized' vertebrae exposed bone with a club at the end or spikes, it would be exposed bone + shaped tail.
