Traits
Antennae (Standard)
Antennae are the most common trait displayed by Xeros. These sensitive feelers enhance a Xero's senses and help them navigate in difficult environments. The antennae can be many different lengths, and can be present on the head, back, tail, or on the cheeks like "whiskers".
How To Use This Trait
Do
- A Xero's antennae are always soft, flexible, and tube-shaped.
- The tips of antennae may be rounded, bulbous, heart-tipped, curled, etc.
Don't
- Xero antennae are never fluffy or densely furred, unless the Fluffy Antenna trait is applied.
- Insect or moth-like antennae are not included under this trait.
This trait can be added to your Xero by giving them a Ru Berry.

Fluffy Antennae (Seasonal)
Antennae of various types are the most common trait displayed by Xeros. While fluffy antennae are less temperature-sensitive than their more sparsely-furred cousins, they still enhance a xero's proprioception, providing valuable sensory information in relation to the world around them. Since they are less chemically-sensitive than their counterpart traits, many xeros choose to style the fur into fashionable shapes with clever trims and salon products!
They can vary extensively in length, with fur only rarely exceeding a xero's palmpad in length, and can be present on the head, back, tail, or along the line of the jaws as "whiskers".
How To Use This Trait
Do
- Style the fur to match existing traits, provided the xero already has the trait in question, ie. extra long fur with the application of Tundra Fur.
- Put on Xero's face along the jaws, like eastern dragon whiskers or prehensile moustaches.
- Combine Fluffy Antennae and Antennae in different sections of the Xero's design.
Don't
- Have the base of the antenna come to a single point/line, so as to imitate a feather's quill.
- Place in dense clusters, so as to imitate wings or feather crests
- Imitate jointed insectile antennae.
- Imitate detailed, extremely finely branching shapes like those of realistic moths.
- Have exceptionally long, curly, or locked fur without the application of corresponding traits!
This trait can be added to your Xero by giving them a Nettaru Berry.
