Traits

The Unnatural Sand Color trait includes metallic and glowing colors. This trait can either cover the entirety of the sand, or it can be limited to markings or small areas on a Waterdog! Metallic sand can be any color.
Highly saturated colors no longer fall under this trait, instead any color/marking that is not metallic or glowing falls under Standard Sand!

Instead of sand, a waterdog has snow in its place.

This trait can be paired with sand as well and does not need to take up its entirety.

Snow that takes the place of sand must have some visual indication of being snow (texture, sparkles in the snow, rounder shapes/snow sheet, etc.)

Snow is by default white but can be dyed. Dyed snow must ressemble dye in snow and cannot have sharp edges and should be blended in some way. Dyed snow must also have a visual indication that's not sand. Additionally, dye is treated as markings and to make it color changing you would need color changing sand.

Please see the section below for a full visual guide.

Instead of just water, there are now ‘foamy/soapy’ sections! Seafoam cannot overtake the entirety of a WDs design and must have some water still present. Floating bubbles on/around the waterdog are allowed as well!

Special plankton in a Waterdog’s water that makes it glow!

The spots that glow are bright in color and be certain sections/spots if you wish (as long as it is not replicating split-water). The glow can be turned on/off.

Water that is Rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple and Pink). Some color palletes may count as rainbow when blended. Green must always be included for it to count as Rainbow.

Water colors and/or shapes that abruptly change the color of the normal water gradient colors! This can often be seen as sections of the water having completely different colors or distinct shapes in the water.

Ice that covers the water portions of a Waterdog! The ice can cover the whole area of water on a WD, OR just be present in patches. Ice must have an obvious “sheen” over the design AND/OR has cracks.

Ice can be any water color/split as long as the applicable traits are bought as well. Ice must be a lighter hue compared to the water unless you buy the Split Water trait to have it be a different color all together.

The sclera of the eye is a lighter or more saturated color than white or the iris color. Dark/black colored scleras are also considered to be under this trait.

When the colored part of the eye (the iris) is shaped differently than just a normal circle.

NOTE: Shaped PUPILS (the black part of the eye) are not considered a trait and is considered stylistic.

Glowing eyes can be stylized, but cannot appear too much like mist coming from the eyes.
Eyes glow permanently, and do not have to include a glow trail.

Eyes that have no pupils or irises and consist only of one color or gradient. Waterdogs with blank eyes DO NOT have other eye traits (eye color or colored scleras).

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.

Ears that droop past the chin OR ears that are upright and taller than usual ears.

Distinct tufts of fur at the top of a Waterdog’s ears. These tufts can be made out of water or sand.

Ears that are in the shape of fins.

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