Traits
Multiple Eyes (Legendary)
More than one set of two eyes on a Waterdog/Watercat's head!
You only need to apply this trait ONCE. If a Waterdog already has it, you are free to add more eyes without needing addition multiple eyes runes or legendary treats.
Color-Changing Eyes (Legendary)
Eyes that changes color between two or more varieties. Variant numbers and types will be listed in the traits for each specific character. This trait is still being talked about being revised again after the rest of the changes being made. This trait at this time is still acting as it had prior before the 3/11/24 trait updates until otherwise stated.
Heterochromia (Uncommon)
Eyes that are two (or more, if there are more than two eyes present) different colors.
Heterochromia falls into two categories: Matching and Mismatching.
When both of the colors match the water, the character will have both the heterochromia and matching eye color traits.
If one or more of the colors does NOT match the water, the character will have both the heterochromia and mismatching eye color traits.

NOTE: Shaped PUPILS (the black part of the eye) are not considered a trait and is considered stylistic.
Standard Sclera (Common)
The sclera of the eye is white, off-white, or pale-yellow in color. Saturated yellow/orange-colored scleras may fall under colored-sclera if they are too unnatural looking.

Non-Matching Eyes to Water (Uncommon)
Eye color does not match any of the water colors. (Eyes can be any color, including rainbow WITHOUT needing rainbow water being bought).
- If paired with color changing water, the eye colors still cannot match the colors the water changes to. If the eye colors were to match, multiform is needed for Mismatching Eye Color AND Matching Eye Color.

Abnormal Eye Placement (Legendary)
Eyes that are not located on the face in their ‘natural’ position. This could be on the shoulders, chest, etc. -- any part of the body where an eye wouldn’t normally be found.
- Multi-eye must be paired with this trait if you are placing multiple sets of eyes on the body. Each additional set of eyes added to the body is x1 Runestone/Legendary Treat.
- As long as the eye-sockets are still shown on the face, you may move the set of eyes normally on the face to another part of the body. If the eye-sockets were not present, then the ‘no-eyes’ exclusive trait is needed.

Ear Tufts - Cat (Uncommon)
Distinct tufts of fur at the top of a Watercat’s ears. These tufts can be made out of water or sand.
