Standard Claws (Standard)
Species: Xero
By default, Xeros have small, rounded claws. Their claws are shiny and just slightly translucent. They cannot have no claws, or claws of a different shape or size than this without a special mutation.
How to get this trait
This trait can be added freely to any Xero, without the use of an item.
Standard Tail (Standard)
Species: Xero
By default, Xeros have long tails. Their tails can be a variety of shapes and sizes, such as a thick kangaroo-like tail, thin cat-like tails, fluffy fox-like tails, and more. So long as the tail appearance does not cross over with any of the other Tail Mutation requirements, Standard Tails can be nearly any other shape or size.

Slit Pupils (Unusual)
Category: Eye Mutation

Horizontal Pupils (Notable)
Category: Eye Mutation
Species: Xero
Though it's very rare, some Xeros may have horizontal pupils instead of the standard round or oval ones. This strange adaptation gives the Xero a wider field of view, making them very hard to sneak up on.

Hollow Eyes (Hollow)
Category: Eye Mutation
Life in a world of little-to-no light can present several obstacles, arguably the most important being how to sense the enviroment. Hollow Xeros have developed eyes that feature significantly larger pupils and a highly efficient tapetum. These features enable them to operate effectively in the darkest of conditions and give their eyes a soft, reflective sheen.
How to get this trait
This trait can only be added to Hollow Xeros, or by using a Hollow Vial on a Xero that has the "Glitched" status.
Tundra Ears (Tundra)
Category: Ear Mutation
Tundra Xeros can have extremely fluffy ears called Tundra Ears; the fluff is so long that the tufts of fur inside cover most or all of the visible skin and hangs outside the ears!
How to get this trait
This trait can only be added to Tundra Xeros, or by using a Tundra Vial on a Xero that has the "Glitched" status.
Marine Ears (Marine)
Category: Ear Mutation
Marine Xeros can have extra small ears, or no visible ear flaps at all. This adaptation helps them be more streamlined underwater.

Tufted Ears (Standard)
Category: Ear Mutation
Species: Xero

How to get this trait

Floppy Ears (Standard)
Category: Ear Mutation
Species: Xero
Floppy Ears are a common mutation observed on Xeros. These ears can be perky like the above example, fully flopped like a labrador's ears, or even longer flopped ears like a lop rabbit's.
How to get this trait
This trait can be added to your Xero by giving them a Widd Berry.
Hollow Ears (Hollow)
Category: Ear Mutation
These ears are unique to Hollow Xeros, and while they fit the shapes and sizes you expect from a standard Xero, they do have an adaptation unique to their type. The ear's interior cartilage is ridged, acting as a type of acoustic focusing lens to help sharpen sounds for positional accuracy in the dark. Hollow ears can have darker ridges, or a gradient of colors within the different segments. These are the only kind of ear that can have gradients of different colors within them.
How to get this trait
This trait can only be added to Hollow Xeros, or by using a Hollow Vial on a Xero that has the "Glitched" status.
Desert Ears (Desert)
Category: Ear Mutation
Desert Xeros can have larger than average ears to radiate heat, this trait is known as Desert Ears. They can be any shape (pointy fennec-like, rounded jackrabbit-like, etc.) Size can vary a bit, but is generally about twice the height of the head.
How to get this trait
This trait can only be added to Desert Xeros, or by using a Desert Vial on a Xero that has the "Glitched" status.
Horns (Unusual)
Category: Body Mutation
Species: Xero
Horns are a somewhat uncommon trait for a Xero to have; these protrusions are hard, shiny, and slightly translucent, just like the Xero's claws. Much like the antennae, horns can be many different shapes and lengths, and can be present on the head, back, tail, and other places, such as on the cheeks, top of the snout, or on the back of the limbs.
How to get this trait
This trait can be added to your Xero by giving them a Horns Fruit.
Saber Fangs (Notable)
Category: Body Mutation
Species: Xero
Saber fangs are a very rare mutation to see on a Xero. These long canines protrude much further from the Xero's mouth than is normal for their species. This can give them a rather intimidating appearance!
How to get this trait
This trait can be added to your Xero by giving them a Spikul Fruit.
Slimy Skin (Notable)
Category: Body Mutation
Species: Xero
It is very rare to see a Xero with slimy skin. Xeros with this trait have extra slimy skin, coated with protective mucus. The slime only affects areas of visible skin, such as their inner ears, paw pads, and tongue. This trait could be combined with the Hairless trait to have slimy skin on other areas of the body.
How to get this trait
This trait can be added to your Xero by giving them a Goodroop Fruit.
Marine Fins (Marine)
Category: Body Mutation
Marine Xeros can have fins of any sort on various parts of their bodies. Fins can include whale-like dorsal fins and flukes, shark or fish-like tails, or any other sort of webbed fin. Fins can be located on their backs, tails, backs of their limbs, or even in place of their ears.
How to get this trait
This trait can only be added to Marine Xeros, or by using a Marine Vial on a Xero that has the "Glitched" status.
Dazzle (Notable)
Category: Body Mutation
Species: Xero
Eating a certain berry can trigger the skin of a Xero to build new amino structures, mimicking the microscopic elements present in the jewel berry and presenting a metallic like sheen similar in refractive performance. This rare mutation gives Xeros the dazzle trait; shiny, metallic, or glittery flesh, presenting itself on the insides of their ears, tongue, paw pads, and pouch. It can also sometimes give them glittery or shiny markings in their fur!
How to get this trait
This trait can be added to your Xero by giving them a Jewel Berry.
Jungle Patagia (Jungle)
Category: Body Mutation
Jungle Xeros can have patagia - that is, loose flaps of skin connecting from each wrist to hip. These patagia allow the Xeros to glide short distances, such as from tree to tree, or slow their fall like a parachute. Much like the patagia of a flying squirrel, they are extended with the aid of specialized wrist bones and the loose skin can fold up against the body when not in use.
How to get this trait
This trait can only be added to Jungle Xeros, or by using a Jungle Vial on a Xero that has the "Glitched" status.
Jungle Camouflage (Jungle)
Category: Body Mutation
Jungle Xeros can be mixotrophs, that is, they can grow plant structures to photosynthesize! This can include things such as leaves and flowers, which can be located anywhere on the Xero's body. This also helps them blend in with their leafy surroundings.
