Traits

Ears that are completely rounded, similar to a bear or big cat.

Ears that are made out of water instead of sand.
With water ears, the inner ear can either be made of sand or water, whereas normal sand ears require the inner ear to be made of water.
Water ears can have portions of the ear still remain as sand cut-out designs.

Legs are made completely out of water and have no sand socks/toes.

A Waterdog/cat that has more than four legs on their body. Legs must be in a ‘natural’ position (IE: not sticking out of their back/head.)

Any amount of sand present on a characters legs, excluding sand shirt / sand sweater and sand pants / sand shorts.  
If a dog has a sand shirt / sand sweater, or sand pants / sand shorts but doesn't have sand on the opposite legs, it wouldn't have this trait.

Abnormally large claws found on your character.

A tail that has some amounts of sand on it.
All Waterdogs/cats are required to have water on the tail somewhere. The only exeption to this rule is Aquatic Tails and Shaped Tails.

A tail shape that is considered normal for a default dog/cat/big cat. 

A tail made completely of water. Sometimes this can be portrayed as looking like a ‘wave’ or ‘waterfall’.

A tail that curls back towards the body.

Any and all shaped tails that are 'aquatic' looking in nature. These can have the shape of any realistic/fantastical fish and shark tails. This trait also includes 'tentacle' shaped tails.

A tail that is uniquely shaped and would be unnatural for a real dog/cat to have.
Does not include 'aquatic' looking tails. 

A very short tail like a bobcat! This is not the same as having no tail (which is untraited.)

More than one tail on a waterdog/watercat.

A tail with the end split down the middle! The split cannot reach the base of the tail, as otherwise that would be considered multiple tails.

A tail that is abnormally long compared to a natural dog/cat tail.

Sentient Tails can come in many different shapes and sizes! They are allowed to have other pseudo ‘head’-like features on them, including ears, eyes, and mouths. They can be uniquely shaped (like a usable hand-tail) or ‘natural’ shaped (like snake-heads).
