Traits

The Insectoplant has more than two arms and/or more than two legs. These extra limbs can be placed anywhere on the body as long as they do not resemble another trait that the Insectoplant does not have.

Note:

Using Multiple Arms / Legs does not require the use of Misplaced Body Parts for any additional limbs, regardless of the placement of the additional limbs, unless NONE of the arms and/or legs are in their correct locations.

The Insectoplant has arms and/or legs resembling those of an insect. With this trait, the word “insect” is used loosely and can include similar animals such as spiders and centipedes.

The Insectoplant has a body that is split up into distinct sections or segments, like that of an insect.

Note:

If the Insectoplant has a more “robotic” look, that would fall under Unusual Body / Body Parts and not Sectioned Body.

The Insectoplant has fins like those of a fish on their body. They help the Insectoplant swim!

NOTE:

For Scoutopods, if Flippers are used, Fins are not Mandatory.

The Insectoplant has flippers on their body. This includes but is not limited to flippers resembling those of seals, sea turtles, penguins, and dolphins. They help the Insectoplant glide through the water with ease.

NOTE:

This trait only applies to Scoutopods. For any other subspecies, this falls under Odd Limbs. If Fins are used, Flippers are not Mandatory.

The Insectoplant has feathers resembling those of a bird covering all or some of their body.

NOTE:

If feathers are only present on the wings of the Insectoplant, such as by having the Non-Insectoid Wings trait, this trait is not necessary. This trait only applies to feathers present on the body

The Insectoplant has thin webbing connecting the fingers and/or toes to one another. They help the Insectoplant maneuver through the water!

NOTE:

This trait only applies to Scoutopods and Snowphids.

The Insectoplant has hard, tough plating protecting all or some of their body. This can keep them safe from both other creatures and the elements.

The Insectoplant has limbs that do not resemble paws or human-like limbs and do not fall under any other limb trait descriptions. This can include things like hooves, tentacles, avian limbs, or dinosaur-like limbs.

NOTE:

When giving a Scoutopod hooves or avian limbs, please use the Hooves / Avian Feet trait instead. When giving a Brewmoth or Toxislug avian limbs, please use Avian Feet instead. When giving a Brewmoth any other sort of Odd Limbs, please select the trait with their subspecies name included.

The Insectoplant has hooves resembling those of an ungulate and/or avian-like limbs. This may make it harder for the Insectoplant to swim effectively.

NOTE:

This trait only applies to Scoutopods. For any other subspecies, this falls under Odd Limbs.

The Insectoplant has a fuzzy, fur-covered “hood” that can be pulled up over their head or rest loosely at their shoulders. This helps them keep warm in frigid climates.

Note:

This trait only applies to Snowphids.

The Insectoplant has crystals and/or other minerals growing from their body.

Note:

This trait only applies to Snowphids. For any other subspecies, this falls under Unusual Body / Body Parts.

The Insectoplant has tentacles coming out of their body. These are often prehensile and can be used to manipulate their environment.

Note:

This trait only applies to Scoutopods. For any other subspecies, this falls under Odd Limbs.

The Insectoplant has a hole on their body that can be used to help swimmers breathe with ease.

Note:

This trait only applies to Scoutopods.

The Insectoplant is physically made up of something unusual or unnatural. This can mean their entire body is, just a part of the body is, or something unusual and unnatural is attached to them. This can include inanimate objects, non-biological materials, and plant body parts,

Note:

Clothes, accessories, and props only need to be counted as Unusual Body / Body Parts if they are a physical, non-removable part of the Insectoplant’s body. In the case of a Snowphid having crystals or minerals growing out of their body, Crystal / Mineral Growth is used instead.

The Insectoplant is either entirely see-through or has parts of their body that are. This can range from being entirely transparent to being nearly opaque. They may optionally be able to change their transparency level or entirely “turn it off.”
