STYGIAN SUBSPECIES

COMMON SUBSPECIES UNCOMMON SUBSPECIES RARE SUBSPECIES PRIMORDIAL SUBSPECIES

General Stygian Design: While all subspecies have unique traits and looks, there are some elements that are common among most, if not all, Stygian. The following traits are required on most subspecies, unless otherwise specified, so please to to keep them in mind when you're designing your Stygian! These elements include:
Elbow Wings: All common Stygian and many other Stygian have some form of elbow wing.
Side Tufts under the ears. Nearly all subspecies require side tufts.
Front hooves and back hooves. Nearly all Stygian have one or both of these - see subspecies info for details.
Forward facing ears with pointed tips. Common and required for most Stygian.
A deer or canine-like head/skull shape. This means a longer, pointed muzzle.
Indication that the Stygian has fur and looser fluff around the neck, elbow (joining to elbow wings), butt (butt fluff), and where fetlocks should be
Eyes showing three parts: Sclera, iris, and pupil.
There may be some variations among the subspecies, please see individual subspecies information below!

Hedge Mane: A thick or dense covering of hedge leaves that fully covers the Stygian's chest, neck, and back. Must be a full, dense covering, almost like fur. Will always be hedge leaves as shown in the reference above, but can be any colour. Cannot be thinned out and cannot be changed to another type of hedge/plant. (Blossoming Stygian take after a particular type of hedge, after all!) Minimum sizing: Hedge will cover the chest, neck, and back of the Stygian. Cannot cover less, and canoot be removed. Maximum sizing: Hedge will fully cover the neck and torso of the Stygian, down to mid-leg. This cannot be made longer (cannot be affected by supersize, [++], foliage traits, or long fur). Hedge will always be a single type of hedge, as shown in the reference above. Cannot be changed to any other kind of hedge or plant. Leaves can be any colour. Please see the reference above for details on leaf style and min and max hedge sizes!
Hedge Mane Flowers: Can be any type of flower, and can be a mix of flowers. Flowers, when added together, cannot exceed more than 50% of the Stygian's body size in coverage.
Accessory traits such as heavy accessory and enchanted accessory can be used to have objects or ornaments sticking into/out of and hanging off of the hedge. Accessories cannot, however, cover or hide the hedge mane, as most of it should be visible.
Flower Side Tufts: Will always be a single flower under the ears. Can be any type of flower, but always a single flower. Should be small enought to stay under the ear, but large enough to cover the area the side tufts would be.
Hedge Tail: Can be a short to long tail. Made of the same hedge as the mane. Will also be rather dense or solid leaf coverage. Can be multipled and supersized. Can be replaced/made into another type of tail with the proper potions. Replacing the tail fully overwrites the hedge tail, and a foliage potion would need to be used to add foliage to the new tail.
Traits such as Exposed Aether and Corrupted Aether would only affect the body of the Stygian, not the hedge or flowers.
Blossoming Stygian ears cannot be modified. They should always stay the same shape, and always have the leaf shaped inner ear.
Light Body Foliage, Foliage Takeover, and Parasitic Foliage cannot affect the hedge or it's leaves and flowers in any way. These traits can be applied to the legs and tail (if it is not the hedge tail), however.

Basically the same texture as a nudibranch! Mantle sizing: Average sizing is as seen in the reference. Mantles can drape down to the Stygian's "knees", or be shorter so that it covers at least half of the back. Mantles will always have the smooth "trim" as seen in the refernce image. Trim should be a line around the whole mantle, and distinctly different in colour from the rest of the mantle. The top mantle will always be shorter than the bottom mantle (smaller layer on top!).

Psuedo Tail: A fake tail always layered over the mantles and always over where the Stygian's butt is. The shape and size will always match the reference image. The fake tail texture matches the mantles - squishy and always smooth/rounded (not feathery or fur-like). Psuedo tails cannot be changed by any trait or potion, as they are not real tails (cannot be supersized or replaced).
Squishy Feelers: Should match the image in sizing and style. Same texture as the other squishy parts! Cannot be changed with potions (cannot be supersized or replaced)
Fantasy, Weaponed, and Object Tails can be added to Nudibranch Stygian! They will not replace the pseudo tail, rather they will layer UNDER the mantles. So they will come out from under the lower mantle.
Elbow Wings, as well, can be added to Nudibranch Stygian. They will attach on the legs under the mantles.
Back Wings and Multiple wings can be added - they layer over the mantles.
The mantles, pseudo tail, and feelers can be affected by semi-transparency and glowing markings!
Traits such as Exposed Aether and Corrupted Aether would only affect the body of the Stygian, not the squishy mantles, pseudo tail, or feelers.
Back Fins/Spines, Spine Fur, Feather Back Ridge, Multiple Spines and similiar cannot be added to Nudibranch Stygian. (The mantles cancels these traits out)
The mantles, squishy feelers and pseudo tail cannot be supersized, ++'d, removed, replaced, in any way, nor infused with elemental aura (Their sizing and texture cannot be changed).
Traits that cannot be entirely replaced: Hind hooves, double layer squishy mantles, squishy pseudo tail, squishy feelers, under-ear side tufts, general stygian head shape

These plated scales run in an unbroken line for the whole length of the Stygian. The plated scales will always be a single row of large plate scales, shaped like (or very similiar to) the reference image has. These plats should be flat and smooth (they will not have points, hooks, bumps, or any other raised parts.) Plate sizing should be simliar to what is seen in the reference image. These plates cannot be removed or changed to another type of texture.
Mane potions (Mane Fluff and Full Collar Mane) can be used on Lindwyrm Stygian. However, the mane will go around the plating, as the plating cannot be removed or replaced. Similiarly, Long Fur will not affect plates.
Lindwyrm Stygian have two clawed "hooves" on all four feet. These claws are not attached to separate toes, they are more like "hooves" that are long. See the reference image above.
All four legs can have plated scales on their front. This is optional. These leg plates follow simliar rules as the belly plates - they are smooth and interlocking, they will not stick up, stick out, or have hooks/points on them.
Instead of regular side ear tufts, Lindwyrm Stygian have Side Ear Fins! These fins will always be under the ears, and should look just like the reference image (3 spines with webbing between). Max lenght of a single spine is the same lenght as the head, minimum length is 50% of the head length.
The eyes will always have dark sclera. These are usually black, but can be any dark colour. To be a lighter colour, a Coloured Sclera potion is needed.
Under the eyes Lindwyrm Stygian will always have small, interlocking scale plates. They will always be on the underside/lower edges of the eye (as seen in the reference image). These scales cannot be removed or replaced.
Lindwyrm Stygian have a forked and slightly longer tongue (serpent sized). If Long Tongue trait/potion is applied, the tongue will still be forked (but quite long).
Lindwyrm Stygian have bat-wing shaped elbow wings. They can be made featherd with Elbow Wing Modifcation potions, but no other type of wing, feathered/bird wings only. They can be affected by Eblow Wings Plus.
The plates on the Lindwyrm Stygian cannot be removed or changed (cannot be made elemental, for example). The leg plates are optional, the eye/belly/neck/tail plates are not.
The plates on the Lindwyrm Stygian do not count as Body Scales. Body scales can be added to Lindwyrm Stygian, however Body Scale potoins/traits will not affect the plates in any way.
Lindwyrm Stygian cannot have Ear Wings applied to them.
The tail cannot be multiplied, nor can the core/base of the tail be altered in any way. Only the shape of the end can be changed with the proper potions.
Lindwyrm Stygian cannot have the full combination of Antlers (back-facing), Spine Fur, and Front Paws at the same time, as this would too closely resemble a Primordial Dragon.
Traits that cannot be entirely replaced: Quadrapedal body, extra long body, long arched neck, Stygian skull with a longer reptilian-like mouth +hinge, fin side ear tufts, elbow wings, large neck/belly/tail plates, single long solid tail, two claw "hooves".
Default Traits that can be inherited: Fantasy Tail, Elbow Wings, Coloured Sclera.

[Restricted] Mimic Subspecies:

Traits default included:
Species Unique Traits: Mimic body (dripping shadows), Stygian 'coat' (resembles a regular Stygian), mimic antlers (dripping shadows), elbow wings (drooping), deer tail.
Mimic Stygian have a very deer-like shape, from the legs to the head, to the tail. They're trying their very best to appear to be very normal Stygian!
Traits that can be replaced or modified with potions: Tail (can be replaced but not removed), antlers (can be replaced or removed), elbow wings (can be another type of wing but not removed), Stygian ears (can be modified).
Mimic Stygian all have a body made out of shadows. These shadows will always be very, very dark (dark gray to black), and should drip slightly and the legs should be semi-tranparent closer to the hooves (see reference image above). The mimic body (shadow) cannot be affected by any traits save for Multiple Eyes, Exposed Aether, Corrupted Aether, and Hollow Crater (hollow crater will always have dark, shadow insides). The shape of the mimic body (deer shape with deer legs) cannot be changed.
Mimic Stygian always have a regular Stygian 'coat'. This coat fully covers their head and back, and all or most of the neck (see reference image). This gives them a very normal Stygian type head, neck and back. The coat should be fluffy, as they are trying to mimic Stygian fluff, after all! The Stygian's elbow wings will attach to this coat, rather than to the mimic's leg (see reference). The fur coat cannot be removed, nor can it be made to be see-through in any way.
Mimic Stygian come with a short or medium deer tail. This tail attached to the fur coat of the Stygian, rather than the shadow body. It can be changed to other types of tails, but the tails will always attach to the fur coat. Traits such as wings attach to the fur coat only, and do not expose the shadow underneat in any way.
Most traits, for example, Glowing Markings, Crystalline Growth, Body Sparkles, Long Fur, Foliage Takeover, etc., will always attach to the fur coat of the Stygian, and have no effect on the mimic's shadow body. Shadow Weaving cannot be used to change the limbs of the shadow body, however, it can be added to other traits on the Stygian.
Mimic Stygian can have antlers that are made of the same material as their shadow body. If a potion is used to change their antlers to another type or to horns, they will no longer appear as the mimic's shadow body - rather they will take on normal antler/horn appearances.
Exposed Aether and Corrupted Aether can affect the mimic's shadow body. This will turn the shadows into exposed aether. However, the exposed aether will not carry over to the mimic's fur coat in any way. This means the Mimic Stygian's head will not be turned to aether.
Some traits cannot be applied to Mimic Stygian at all. These include Object Head, Front Paws, Fetlocks, Fin Fetlocks, Glass Body, Elemental Insides, Shapeshifter, Elemental Outer Body, Detached Head, Detached Body, and Skeletal Replacment. Other traits cannot be used in such a way as to change the base structure of the mimic's body.
Traits that cannot be entirely replaced: quadrupedal, side ear tufts, general face shape (deer or canine-like skull), elbow wings, mimic body, Stygian fur 'coat', deer shaped legs.
Default Traits that can be inherited: Elemental Aura (if not replaced by aether), Elbow Wings, Antlers (if present on Stygian)

Spectral Stygian have Flame Elemental lower legs. This flame elemental will always be the lower portion of all four legs, covering the same amount of leg as seen in the example image above - see the reference. These legs will always be semi-transparent at the ends! The Flame Elemental can be of any single colour, though it can have a slight single-colour gradient to it. The Flame Elemental cannot have sparkles or swirls of colour in it (this would mimic space elemental and/or aether traits.) The lower elemental legs will always have flames coming off of them. These leg flames should always have breaks in between the fire, so as to not obscure the leg shape nor mimic a mantle. The leg flames should always look like multiple smaller flames. Please see the reference image above for examples! The max length of the leg flames is x1 the lenght of the leg (from floor to chest). Please see the reference above for details on sizing and examples of the leg flames! Flames and flame traits cannot be affected or changed by any other traits or potions. As such, they cannot be infused/changed with other elementals, have sparkles added, changed to aether, etc. They'll always be the default flames.
Spectral Stygian also have diamond-shaped flame markings on their legs and chest. Their shape will always be a 4 sides diamond, as seen in the reference. There will always be two diamonds on the legs above the flame elemental and three diamonds on the chest. These diamonds will always be stacked on top of eachother in a row, but not touching. Theycan have very tiny wisps of flame coming off of them (Very tiny!). The diamonds will always be the same colour as the rest of the flame elemental on the legs.
Spectral Stygian do not have regular side ear tufts. Instead, they have longer, Wisply Side Ear Tufts! These tufts are made of fur, but are always longer and a bit wispy! Sizing should be similiar to what is seen in the reference above.
Spectral Stygian have dark sclera. This will always be black or dark grey, unless a Coloured Sclera potion is applied to change the colour.
Exposed Aether and Corrupted Aether can affect Spectral Stygian! These traits would always affect the solid body of the Stygian, and have no effect on their flame elemental in any way.
Detached Limbs can be applied to Spectral Stygian!
Some traits cannot be applied to Spectral Stygian at all. These include Fetlocks and Front Paws, for example, as the lower leg flame elemental cannot be changed in any way.
Other traits cannot be applied to these Stygian in such a way that would alter their Flame Elemental default traits. For example, Skeletal Replacement cannot affect the lower legs (flame elemental areas) of Spectral Stygian, but it can affect the upper body.
Spectral Stygian do not come with elbow wings or tails as defaults. These can be added with potions!
Traits that cannot be entirely replaced: quadrupedal, wispy side ear tufts, general face shape (deer or canine-like skull), deer shaped legs, flame elemental lower legs, diamond shaped markings.

Wraith Stygian always have a Very Long Body! It will always be 3-4 times longer than a normal Stygian. Please see the infographic for sizing examples. (Wraiths cannot be made to have a short body - they are very noodle!)
Wraith Stygian will always have a Ghost Aether Mane and Tail. The Ghost Aether will always be one colour. It can be light and dark, but will always be the same tone of colour throughout. The Ghost Aether will always be semi-transparent. At least 50% of the aether on each part needs to be see-through. The Ghost Aether Mane will be from the top of the chest/shoulders to the back of the head. See the infographic for positioning. The Ghost Aether Tail will always start near the base of the tail and cover the whole tail. The tail will always be a regular tail shape - it should not end in a weapon or other similar shape (use a potion for this). Inside of the Ghost Aether there will always be a few fragmented mane and tail pieces. These fragments cannot be free-floating. They will always be wrapped in the ghost aether. Accessories cannot be attached to the Ghost Aether areas - it's ghost aether, not solid enought to hold accessories! Ghost Aether CANNOT be combined with other types of elemental auras or traits. It cannot be made another element, have sparkles, skeletal replacement, or extra eyes, etc. It will always be only semi-transparent Ghost Aether. Ghost Aether CANNOT be removed or replaced. Ghost Aether on either part should remain as one connected piece. There should not be bits of aether floating away.
The Ghost Aether Tail can can be modified slightly by some potions: Fantasy Tail, Weaponed Tail, Object Tail, and Sentient Tail. If a tail modification potion is used, only the very tip of the tail will change, the majority of the tail will remain ghost aether. If a tail mod potion is used, the tip of the tail will be made solid as well. Elemental Auras cannot be used to add elemental tail tufts or similiar to wraith tails. Max Length for the tail is x2 the stygian's body length.
Wraith Stygian have two claw-like hooves for each foot as seen in the image above. The front limbs can be changed with Front Paws.
Exposed Aether and Corrupted Aether can affect Wraith Stygian! These traits would always affect the solid body of the Stygian, and have no effect on their ghost aether in any way.

Some traits cannot be applied to Wraith Stygian at all. These include Elemental Tail and Full Collar Mane.
Other traits cannot be applied to these Stygian in such a way that would alter their Ghost Aether default traits. For example, Skeletal Replacement cannot be used on the neck or tail as it would replace the ghost aether. Body Sparkles would not affect the Ghost Aether.
Wraith Stygian do not come with elbow wings as defaults. These can be added with potions!
Traits that cannot be entirely replaced: quadrupedal, general face shape (deer or canine-like skull), two clawed hooved legs, ghost aether mane and tail, very long body.

Membrane will always connect along the body of the stygian and onto the tail. Wings will have 2 claws at the foot/hand part of the wing. See reference image for placement and example. These will be claws only, they cannot be finger-like digits ending in claws. Membrane can be tattered or torn, but should always be present (not missing). Scales on the wings are optional. Sizing should not exeed what is seen in the example image. Wyvern wings cannot be edited or replaced by other types of wings. So they cannot be made feathery or have their claws changed. Wyvern Wings cannot be duplicated by multi-limbs or by adding Back Wings/Multi Wings traits. Supersize can be applied a wyvern's wyvern wings! This would take a separate potion than other wing traits on the stygian. Please see the reference above for details on the overall look of wyvern wings!
Wyvern Tail: The tail will always be a solid, long tail as seen in the example (max sizing 200% of body length (chest to butt). Fin with transparent membrane on the end of the tail is optional! Tail cannot be fully replaced or made elemental/non-solid. The end of the tail can be edited with Object Tail, Fantasy Tail, Sentient Tail, and Weaponed Tail. Without a potion, the tail will taper to an end or have a fin. Multiple tails would duplicate the end of the tail only.

Traits such as Exposed Aether and Corrupted Aether would only affect the body of the Stygian. It would not affect the chest plates, scales, or claws.
Some traits can be added to Wyvern Stygian with some limitations: Back Wings/Multi Wings can be added, however these wings cannot duplicate or mimic the wyvern's wyvern wings. (Only one set of wyvern wings allowed!) Added wings will always be along the back spine above the wyvern wing membrane or on the tail. Fetlocks cannot be added to a wyvern's wings (but can be added to the back legs). Detached Limbs cannot affect the Wyvern Wings.

PRIMORDIAL SUBSPECIES BACK TO TOP

Sometimes a Stygian can evolve into a Primordial Stygian! This requires them to have the Primordial Trait, gained either through breeding or by using a Primordial Potion.
Any subspecies can evolve to a Regular Primordial - otherwise they are restricted to their own subspecies when evolving.
For more information on Primordial Evolution please GO HERE!

Primordial Regular Subspecies:

Traits default included:
Species Unique Traits: Triangular ears, larger mane.
Traits that can be replaced or modified with potions: Triangular ears (with ear modification potion), front hooves (with front paws).
Traits that cannot be entirely replaced: Quad form, hind hooves, general face shape (deer or canine-like skull), cheek fluff, mane fluff, lack of elbow wings.
Default Traits that can be inherited: Regular Subspecies, Mane Fluff, Colored Sclera

Primordial Regular β (Beta) Subspecies:

What is a primordial β (beta)? Basically, when your Stygian is evolving from regular (or another species) to primordial, it can choose the regular primordial form, or the primordial β (beta) form. It's basically an alternate option to the original primordial form!

A Stygian that is already regular primordial regular cannot swap to β unless they have another primordial potion, rewind ticket, or alt-myo ticket.
A Stygian that already has the primordial trait can use an alt-myo to turn it into a primordial regular β.
A Regular Stygian with no primordial trait can use a primordial potion to select if it wants the regular primordial or the β version.
A Stygian jar that has primordial inheritance, if the subspecies of the jar is regular, or if a Stygian myo is a regular subspecies and has a primordial potion picked for it, can pick regular or β form.

Traits default included:
Species Unique Traits: Fully skeletal body, boney elbow wings, Stygian skull, hollow/empty eye sockets.

Glowing eyes, cosmic eyes, coloured sclera, and other eye affecting traits cannot be added to these main hollow eyes. (They can be added to other eyes added to the Stygian, however, if applicable.) Other traits cannot be used to mimic eyes.
Primordial Regular β Stygian come with a short/medium tail. It can be skeletal or it can be fluffy or feathered (following the normal short/medium tail rules). The tail can be changed to other types of tails, as long as it follows the rules of that tail type. Tails do not need to be skeletal.
They will always four deer-like legs, thin and ending in hooves. Front paws cannot be added to change this. Also, fetlocks and fin fetlocks cannot be added to legs.
The bony elbow wing should be similiar to the reference image (like a simplified bird wing). Elbow wing modification cannot be applied to change the wing type, shape, or add feathers or membranes - it will always resemble the reference image. Elbow wings plus can be used to lengthen the elbow wing.
Traits such as back wings (any type), long hair, spine fur, mane fluff, and foliage are a-okay to add.
Elemental Aura cannot be used to infuse, replace, or change the texture of the skeleton. It can, however, wrap in and through the rib cage and the skull. For the ribcage, it must also be outside of the ribcage in some way. In the case of the skull, the elemental must also leak out through the eyeholes and mouth.
Elemental Insides can be applied to Primordial Regualar Beta, however it only affects the inside of the bones - where the marrow would be. It must be visible, using either small cracks or another trait such as fragmented body.
Ears and modified ears (and ear tufts) cannot be added, unless using an object head potion (under usualy object head rules).

Primordial Blossoming Beta (β) Subspecies:

What is a primordial β (beta)? Basically, when your Stygian is evolving from regualar blossoming to primordial, it can choose the regular primordial form, or the primordial β (beta) form. It's basically an alternate option to the original primordial form!

A Stygian that is already regular primordial blossoming cannot swap to β unless they have another primordial potion, rewind ticket, or alt-myo ticket.
A Stygian that already has the primordial trait can use an alt-myo to turn it into a primordial blossoming β.
A Blossoming Stygian with no primordial trait can use a primordial potion to select if it wants the regular primordial or the β version.
A Stygian jar that has primordial inheritance, if the subspecies of the jar is blossoming, or if a Stygian myo is a blossoming subspecies and has a primordial potion picked for it, can pick regular or β form.

Traits default included:
Species Unique Traits: Leaf 'scarf' on shoulders and neck, leaf tendril ear tufts, foliage back spine, pointed petal ears, wooden single horn, wooden hooves, leaf tail.
Traits that can be replaced or modified with potions: Front paws with front paw potion, tail with proper potions.

Leaf Scarf: A cluster of leaved on the back of the neck at the shoulders, hanging down over either shoulder. Can have flowers, but should be made mostly of leaves. Leaves should be dense, not thinly places/spread out. Scarf length: Should hang below the belly of the stygian, max length could have 1x body length dragging on the floor. Rendering: Leaves on the stygian can be clustered and do not have to be indivually rendered, as long as a few show the basic shape. Please see the reference above for examples!
Foliage back spine: Some foliage along the spine (only along the spine) trailing onto the back. Should end around the hips. Will not connect to the tail.
Ears will be of a pointed shape, as seen in the reference image. The ear insides will be of a petal texture, rather than fluffy. The pointed ears with petal insides cannot be changed or altered. (Modified ears cannot be applied to primordial blossoming b stygian).
Leaf Tail: A short or long tail (max 2x body length) made of leaves. Can have flowers. Should match the scarf. Can be replaced with proper potions.
Foliage Accessories and Foliage takeover can be applied to primordial blossoming b stygian. However - foliage cannot be added to mimic the hedge or petals found on other blossomign subspecies.

Primordial Bookwyrm Subspecies:

Traits default included:
Species Unique Traits: No back legs, feather fur, front arm birdwings, feathered backridge.
Traits that can be replaced or modified with potions: Single tipped ears (with ear modification potion).
Primordial Bookwyrms have no legs whatsoever. Instead they have birdwings where their front legs would be. Each wing should be the same size (no bigger, and not much smaller) as the distance from the bookwyrm's chest to head. See reference above for sizing guide.
These front bird wings cannot be changed to another type of wing (will always be feathered only), cannot be supersized, and cannot be multiplied. Front paws, elbow wing potions (any), and shape-shifter also cannot be applied to them.
Primordial Bookwyrm Stygian have a standard Stygian head, deer/canine in shape. They come with standard Stygian ears, and will always have side ear tufts.
Primordial Bookwyrms are covered in feather fur! Think of it like fine feathers or light fur, making for rather fluffy Stygian. This feather fur is especially prominent on their chest, as that would be extra fluffy. They also have a feathered back ridge along their spine - this would be more standard feathers that stand out some from their normal feather fur.
Back Wings and Multiple Wings can be applied to primordial bookwyrm Stygian following the same rules they usually have. These can be any style of wing, and must be along the back/spine of the Stygian.
Primordial Bookwyrms have a solid tail that ends in a tuft! This tuft can be styled to be parted, but will always be a feather/fur tuft. It cannot be changed or replaced with elemental aura. Max size of the tail tuft is the same size as the wing length (see reference above). Overall, the max the tail can be is 2.5 times the wing length in total (solid tail + tuft, starting from where the torso cut off is). See reference above for max sizing. The tail can be Supersized, made skeletal (with skeletal potion), or have Weaponed Tail applied to it.
The tail cannot be changed to another kind of tail (save for Weaponed Tail), nor can it be multiplied. It can only be affected by Supersize, Skeletal Replacement, and Weaponed Tail.
Elemental Aura cannot replace ANY part of a primordial bookwyrm's body, this includes tail, wings, and feathers. Skeletal Replacement can only be used on the tail of a Primordial Bookwyrm after the torso cutoff (it would affect the tail only, not the torso or other body parts).
Front paws, multiple limbs, multiple tails, and elbow wings potions (any) cannot be applied to primordial bookwyrms in any way.
Traits that cannot be entirely replaced: No hind legs, solid tail ending in a tuft, front birdwings, side ear tufts, standart stygian head shape, feather fur, fluffy chest feather fur, and feathered back ridge.

They have a horselike neck, complete with a horselike mane. Their head should be bulky as well, and can be more horselike than usual. Their ears should be nomral Stygian ears and will always have side tufts under their ears.

They can be supersized.
They will always have a bridle or halter on their head with reins attached to it. They will also always have a cart-horse yoke at their neck, as well as at least 2 saddle or back straps over their back (extra straps are optional). These will always resemble standard or common carriage horse items. These cannot be removed in quest art.
Primordial Carousel Stygian will also have a cart they are pulling behind them. This can be a cart, carriage, or chariot - it must always be a 2 wheeled cart or carriage-like item. This cart or carriage will always be made of wood or metal, but can be lined with things like fabric (think traditional carts or carriages). They will always have two wheels (no more, no less) that are side by side, again made of wood or metal. The max size of the cart/carriage is 150% of the Stygian's body length, the smallest size should be 50% of body length. The cart/carriage should attach to the Stygian's saddle straps with a carriage pole (see refrence above).
The cart or carriage cannot be replaced or changed in any way. It cannot be infused with elemental, or replaced with foliage takeover. It can, however, be coated with elemental aura, or have foliage inside of it. The cart cannot be fully covered or hidden by these traits.
The cart can be filled with accessories, familiars, elemental auras, weapons, foliage (takeover or parasitic), or enchanted accessories. These traits would follow their usual rules for sizing and application. For these traits, filling the cart is seperate from coating the cart, for example, filling the cart with fire would take one elemental potion, coating the wheels with fire would take a second potion.
The cart, reins, yoke, and saddle straps do not count against the heavy accessory size limit. They are a unique species trait and required. However, decorations added to the yoke, straps, or cart do count towards the heavy accessory size limits (this includes bows, blankets, and things inside the cart).
Carts are always required for Primordial Carousel Masterlist art. It is, however, optional in quest art. The rest of the reins, yoke, and straps are required in both Masterlist and quest art.
Primordial Carousel Stygian do not have elbow wings, nor can they have elbow wings added to them.

Primordial Lindwyrms are very long, just like normal lindwyrms, and have long torsos with long, arched necks! The torso will always be longer than normal Stygian (even primordial dragons) and their necks will always be long and should be arched. Torso Length: Lindwyrms have very long torsos. They are 2-3x as long as a normal Stygian (always 2x as long at minimum). For specific sizing, the torso should always be longer than the lindwyrm's leg - 1.5-2x longer than the leg is high (floor to where it connects to the body). You can see the reference image for an example of sizing. Neck Length: The neck will always be long and arched. For legth, it should be 1-1.5x the length of the Stygian's leg. This should be 1.5-2x the neck lenght of a Regular Stygian.
Lindwyrms will always have a long a long, solid tail just like what is seen in the reference image above. This tail will always end in a spaded point (as seen in the reference). The tip of the tail can be changed to a tail tuft, or to another fitting (solid) shape with a fantasy tail potion - however, only the end (the tip) of the tail may change, the bulk of the tail will always be long and solid and have plating along the bottom. The tail tip cannot be made elemental itself, though elemental aura can wrap around it. The tail tip can be affected by Weaponed Tail or Sentient Tail potions. The Lindwyrm tail cannot be affected by Multiple Tails potions.
Lindwyrm Stygian have Reptilian-like jaws. This means they have longer, jagged mouths that end in a hinge, as seen in the reference image. The mouth is longer than normal Stygian mouths, ending at or behind the eye. The mouth has a 'hinge' at the back, that is seen when they open their mouths. The jagged points on the outer mouth are separate from the reptile-like teeth that are inside the mouth. (The teeth inside the mouth are optional, the jagged outer mouth is not). See the reference image for examples.
Lindwyrm Stygian have large plates that run along their entire underside, from the start of the neck down toward the end of the tail. These plated scales run in an unbroken line for the whole length of the Stygian. The plated scales will always be a single row of large plate scales, shaped like (or very similiar to) the reference image has. These plats should be flat and smooth (they will not have points, hooks, bumps, or any other raised parts.) Plate sizing should be simliar to what is seen in the reference image. These plates cannot be removed or changed to another type of texture.
Mane potions (Mane Fluff and Full Collar Mane) can be used on Lindwyrm Stygian. However, the mane will go around the plating, as the plating cannot be removed or replaced. Similiarly, Long Fur will not affect plates.
Primordial Lindwyrms have pawed feet with large claws on all four feet. 3-4 digits per paw. The claws cannot be removed. Front paws cannot be replaced.
BAT ARM WINGS: Primordial Lindwyrms signature trait is their front leg with small wing attached:Their front legs are regular sized ending in paws with claws. Attached to the leg is a bat-like wing. Arm-wing will always have 3 spines attached to the forearm. Will always have a semi-transparent wing membrane. Membrane will attach to the lindwyrm along the side of their torso. The wing spines (and thus wing size) should be 1-1.5 times the leg length. See diagram. A primordial lindwyrms front legs cannot be affected by trait potions. These include (but not limited to) front paws, multiple limbs, shapeshifter, detached limbs. The front limbs cannot be altered. See reference image for examples of sizing and look!
Instead of regular side ear tufts, Lindwyrm Stygian have Side Ear Fins! These fins will always be under the ears, and should look just like the reference image (3 spines with webbing between). Max lenght of a single spine is the same lenght as the head, minimum length is 50% of the head length.
The eyes will always have dark sclera. These are usually black, but can be any dark colour. To be a lighter colour, a Coloured Sclera potion is needed.
Under the eyes Lindwyrm Stygian will always have small, interlocking scale plates. They will always be on the underside/lower edges of the eye (as seen in the reference image). These scales cannot be removed or replaced.
Lindwyrm Stygian have a forked and slightly longer tongue (serpent sized). If Long Tongue trait/potion is applied, the tongue will still be forked (but quite long).
The plates on the Lindwyrm Stygian cannot be removed or changed (cannot be made elemental, for example). The leg plates are optional, the eye/belly/neck/tail plates are not.
The plates on the Lindwyrm Stygian do not count as Body Scales. Body scales can be added to Lindwyrm Stygian, however Body Scale potoins/traits will not affect the plates in any way.
Lindwyrm Stygian cannot have Ear Wings applied to them.
The tail cannot be multiplied, nor can the core/base of the tail be altered in any way. Only the shape of the end can be changed with the proper potions.
Lindwyrm Stygian cannot have the full combination of Antlers (back-facing), Spine Fur, and Front Paws at the same time, as this would too closely resemble a Primordial Dragon.
The front limbs cannot be altered or duplicated. Front paws, shapeshifter, and multiple limbs cannot be applied to primordial lindwyrm stygian. Detached limbs cannot affect the front limbs.
Traits that cannot be entirely replaced: Quadrapedal body, extra long body, long arched neck, Stygian skull with a longer reptilian-like mouth +hinge, normal lindwyrm face, fin side ear tufts, clawed front limbs with bat-like arm wings. clawed back pawss, large neck/belly/tail plates, single long solid tail.
Default Traits that can be inherited: Fantasy Tail, Coloured Sclera.

Primordial Mimic Subspecies:

Traits default included:
Species Unique Traits: Mimic body (dripping shadows), Grendel Stygian-like 'coat' (resembles a Grendel Stygian).
Primordial Mimic Stygian have a very Grendel Stygian-like shape, from the legs to the head, to the tail. They're trying their very best to appear to be very normal Grendel Stygian!
Traits that can be replaced or modified with potions: Tail (can be added to the fur coat only), Stygian ears (can be modified).
Primordial Mimic Stygian all have a body made out of shadows. These shadows will always be very, very dark (dark gray to black), and should drip slightly. The legs should be semi-tranparent closer to the hooves (see reference image above). The mimic body (shadow) cannot be affected by any traits save for Multiple Eyes, Exposed Aether, Corrupted Aether, and Hollow Crater (hollow crater will always have dark, shadow insides). The shape of the mimic body (grendel shape with hooved hind legs) cannot be changed.
Primordial Mimic Stygian always have a Grendel-like Stygian 'coat'. This coat fully covers their head and back, arms, and all or most of the chest (see reference image). This gives them a very normal Grendel Stygian type head, chest, and arms. The coat should be fluffy, as they are trying to mimic Stygian fluff, after all! They will always have extra mane fluff around the neck and chest (see reference). The fur coat cannot be removed, nor can it be made to be see-through in any way.
While they do want to appear to be Grendel Stygian, Primordial Mimics have not mastered the Grendel's standard long back mane. As such, they do not come with a long back mane or anything similar. (Hair can be attached to the head with a potion, of course!)
They will always have dark sclera to match their shadow color!
Primordial Mimic Stygian will always have large arms that end in large paws. These paws will always have 4 digits and large claws. See the refrence image for an example.
Most traits, for example, Glowing Markings, Crystalline Growth, Body Sparkles, Long Fur, Foliage Takeover, etc., will always attach to the fur coat of the Stygian, and have no effect on the mimic's shadow body. Shadow Weaving cannot be used to change the limbs of the shadow body, however, it can be added to other traits on the Stygian.
Exposed Aether and Corrupted Aether can affect the mimic's shadow body. This will turn the shadows into exposed aether. However, the exposed aether will not carry over to the mimic's fur coat in any way. This means the Mimic Stygian's head will not be turned to aether.
Some traits cannot be applied to Primordial Mimic Stygian at all. These include Object Head, Fetlocks, Fin Fetlocks, Glass Body, Elemental Insides, Shapeshifter, Elemental Outer Body, and Skeletal Replacment. Other traits cannot be used in such a way as to change the base structure of the mimic's body.
Traits that cannot be entirely replaced: bipedal, side ear tufts, general face shape (deer or canine-like skull with a shorter muzzle), mimic body, Grendel Stygian-like fur 'coat', hooved hind legs in a standard Grendel shape.
Default Traits that can be inherited: Mimic Subspecies, Elemental Aura (if not replaced by aether), Front Paws (cannot pass to standard mimics), Dark Sclera

Primordial Nudibranch Subspecies:

Traits default included: .
Species Unique Traits: Squishy scale-like mantle, squishy feelers, squishy scale-like tail
Traits that can be replaced or modified with potions: Front hooves (with front paws potion), ears (with modified ears potion)
Squishy Scale-like Mantle: A mantle of thicker, squishy texture "scales". Will always be furless and of a smooth, squishy texture. Squishy texture means a smooth spongy (without holes) texture. Basically the same texture as a nudibranch! Mantle sizing: Average sizing is as seen in the reference. Scales will always start smaller at the neck and grow larger (in layers) as they reach the butt. Sizing should always be similiar to what is seen in the reference image - cannot be made smaller or larger. Scales generally have a 3D popout effect, but they can lay flat - as long as they resemble the reference image. Markings are as you wish! (The black tips are optional - added to the reference just for some pop!) Should not resemble a feather, fur, or torn/jagged texture at all - will always have smooth, rounded edges. Please see the reference above for details on the overall look!
Squishy Scale-like Tail: A fake tail that is the same shape as the scale-like mantle. Again, these are thick, fat, squishy "scales". Sizing should resemble the reference image - not much smaller or larger than see above! This tail cannot be removed, replaced, resized, or affected by potions.
Squishy Feelers: Should match the image in sizing and style. Same texture as the other squishy parts! Cannot be changed with potions (cannot be supersized or replaced)
Fantasy, Weaponed, and Object Tails can be added to Nudibranch Stygian! They will not replace the pseudo tail, rather they will layer UNDER the the squishy scale-like tail. So they will come out from under the scale-like tail.
Back Wings and Multiple wings can be added - they will layer under the scale-like mantle (so grow out from between the scales).
The mantle, pseudo tail, and feelers can be affected by semi-transparency and glowing markings!
Traits such as Exposed Aether and Corrupted Aether would only affect the body of the Stygian, not the squishy mantle, scale-like tail, or feelers.
Back Fins/Spines, Spine Fur, Feather Back Ridge, Multiple Spines and similiar cannot be added to Nudibranch Stygian. (The mantle cancels these traits out)
The mantle, squishy feelers and scale-like tail cannot be supersized, ++'d, removed, replaced, in any way, nor infused with elemental aura (Their sizing and texture cannot be changed).
Traits that cannot be entirely replaced: Hind hooves, squishy scale-like mantle, squishy scale-like tail, squishy feelers, under-ear side tufts, general stygian head shape

Primordial Page Subspecies:

Traits default included: .
Species Unique Traits: Bipedal, upright form and human-shaped skull. Small hand claws and hind foot paws. Clothing accessories that must cover Page from at least the waist to upper thigh. 1 to 5 floating cards (aura optional).
Traits that can be replaced or modified with potions: Single tipped ears (with ear modification potion).
CLARIFIED due to confilict with Treatlings: Page Stygian have human shaped skulls/faces, but they still have a thin coating of fur on their face. While this fur can be any color, it should not appear to be missing or flesh-like. It should always have a fur texture or tone to it, and would usually be the same color as the rest of the stygian's fur. While the fur on the face can be flesh coloured, there should always be some indication that this is fur and not actual skin (keep in mind that this colouring should show up on other alt forms if this is the case).
Page Stygian should have their pawed feet be visible.
Page Stygian have a somewhat "chibi" appearance. Their standard height is 4 heads tall (max 4.5 heads), as seen in this image: Page Height.
Traits that cannot be entirely replaced: Bipedal, general face shape (flat human-like skull), back paws (3 digits), floating card accessory, clothing covering page from waist to upper thigh, and extra fluff at the wrist and neck, side ear tufts.

Primordial Parasitic Subspecies:

Traits default included: .
Species Unique Traits: Closed eyes, large bladed elbow wings, jagged aether on chest, jagged mandible ear tufts, long thorny tail.
Large Bladed Elbow Wings: Will always be large, 50-100% of leg length. Comes in 3 types, see reference image for each option. Choose one option (they cannot overlap). Elbow wings cannot be changed to other types of elbow wings, nor can they be made larger that leg length.
Thorny Tail: A long thorny tail. Style is as seen in reference image. Max size is 200% of body length. Tail tip (just the end of the tail!) can be changed with Object Tail, Weaponed Tail, or Fantasy Tail (but cannot be made to mimic other species tails).
Mandible Ear Tufts: Small (about 50% of head length) jagged mandibles under the ears. They will always be shaped as seen in the reference image (venus flytrap style).
Jagged Aether on Chest: Will always have a jagged line of aether on their chests and belly, with edges and sizing just like what is seen in the reference image. This line will show the Stygian's inner aether. This inner aether, as usual, cannot leak, glow, sparkle, or be more than one colour (since inner aether is always one, single colour). Elemental Insides can be applied to Primordial Parasitic Stygian, and in that case any colour, texture, and very minor (very minor!) aether leaking out is okay (following usual Elemental Inside rules). Exposed Aether and Corrupted Aether, however, would affect the whole Stygian, making both the outside and the jagged aether line the same colour/texture.
Primordial Parasitic Stygian also have noticably short fur, leading to smaller or not there fur tufts on their legs and body. They will always have a bit of chest and ear fluff, though.
Traits that can be replaced or modified with potions: Single ear tips (with ear modification potion), front hooves (with a front paws potion).

What is a primordial β (beta)? Basically, when your Stygian is evolving from shark to primordial, it can choose the regular primordial form, or the primordial β (beta) form. It's basically an alternate option to the original primordial form!

A Stygian that is already regular primordial feline cannot swap to β unless they have another primordial potion, rewind ticket, or alt-myo ticket.
A Stygian that already has the primordial trait can use a shark alt-myo to turn it into a primordial shark β.
A Shark Stygian with no primordial trait can use a primordial potion to select if it wants the regular primordial or the β version.

The mane fluff itself will always be coarse and bulky in texture and style. It cannot be fine or long strands of fur.
Primordial Snowy Stygian do not come with a tail - a trait slot or potion can be used to add a tail style of your choice under the fluffy mane.
