Bioluminescence is a very rare trait sometimes observed on Xeros. Chemical reactions within the cells of these Xero's skin produce a vibrant glow that they can control at will; however, the original function of this adaptation is currently unknown. Xeros that are bioluminescent feature some or all of their soft tissues that can glow! Xeros with this trait may also have fully saturated, neon-colored flesh.

Retractable Claws

Retractable Claws (Unusual)

Category: Body Mutation
Species: Xero

retractableclaws_orig.png

 
Some Xeros may have retractable claws; however this is a not a common adaptation. These claws are slightly more pointy than the standard Xero claws, but are otherwise exactly the same when not retracted inside. When not in use, they just show up as simple slits on the paws, sometimes hidden by the fur. 

If a Xero gains the Savannah Hooves trait while having Retractable Claws already present on the Xero, the limbs that turn into hooves will lose retractable claws. However, if the hooves are ever removed on a redesign, the user is always allowed to "bring back" their Retractable Claws on their Xero.
