Traits

 Desert Xeros can have thick, fat tails like a gecko to store fat and water, this trait is known as a Desert Tail. Size and shape can vary, but think of a thick leopard gecko-like tail, or a big squishy tail reminiscent of a caterpillar or grub.

Tufted Tails are a common mutation observed on Xeros. These tails can be any size or shape, but feature a tuft of longer fur at the tip, like a lion.

Bobtails are a somewhat unusual mutation to see on a Xero. These tails are naturally short, and can be various shapes such as super short nubs, or fluffier bunny or deer-like tails.

Xeros can have all sorts of tail shapes, but prehensile tails are quite rare. This type of tail acts as a fifth limb, allowing the Xero to hold on to other objects or aid in climbing. When not in use, they hold their tails coiled tightly in a spiral, usually facing down.

Plume tails are a somewhat unusual mutation to see on a Xero. These tails are are very flat and wide and can be smooth like a beaver's tail or long and fluffy like a skunk or squirrel's tail.

Ornamental Tail is a rare mutation observed on Xeros. This is a fancy tail tip made of hard keratin or cartilage. It can be almost any shape, as long as it’s placed on the end of the tail!

A common tail mutation observed on Xeros is the canis tail; these tails are fluffy and tapered with a pointed tip. They can range from scruffy dog-like tails to longer poofy fox tails.

A common tail mutation observed on Xeros is the felis tail; a long noodle-shaped tail! These round-tipped tails aren't tapered and are roughly the same width all the way around.

A Woodland Xero's long tail is the perfect counterweight to help them balance up in the trees. They're also extremely handy in helping them wrap around tree trunks and branches when climbing. While useful for traversal, some Woodland Xeros have found that it can cause quite a tripping hazard in their day to day lives.
