Traits

The Samora breed has always been known to have stunted, shorter horns than the other breeds of Arkaine, which are unable to grow past a medium length - or more than 5-6". It's suspected this happened over many years of evolution. 

Crystals constantly glow with a bioluminescent glow, usually the same color as the crystals or a lighter tone of the same color.

Bioluminescent crystals are exclusive to the Samora breed. 
The lifethorn pulse color is always a different color than a Samora's bioluminescent crystal glow. 

Long, plush, thick feathering called a Crest or "Cresting" can grow along the arms and legs of a Samora.
Cheeks are often also crested, as is the base and insides of the ears.

The fur of the Mane and Cresting always goes against the grain of fur, pushing it upwards to give a more prominent look. 

The Mane of a Samora is made up of long, thick fur that grows upwards along the spine. 
The fur of the Mane and Cresting always goes against the grain of fur, pushing it upwards to give a more prominent look. 

Royal fur is smooth, silky, and generally shorter on the body.
The breed also offers optional feathering at the tail, ears, and sometimes cheeks. Feathering can be straight or wavy.

Pointe fur is smooth, velvet-like, and very short all over. 
(Earth Example: Doberman)

Samora fur is plush, and very thick. Their double coat helps them keep warm in their underground cave.

The Mane of thicker fur often grows upwards along the spine, and long, thick feathering called a Crest or "Cresting" can grow along the arms and legs of a Samora. Cheeks are often also crested, as is the base and insides of the ears.
The fur of the Mane and Cresting always goes against the grain of fur, pushing it upwards to give a more prominent look. 

Glacial fur is thickly double-coated. Both the undercoat and the outer coat is plush, soft, and thick - making Glacial fur quite heavy.
(Earth Example: Siberian Husky)

Standard fur is plush and medium-length all over the body.
(Earth Example: German Shepherd)

Koami fur is thickly double-coated, very dense, and plush. Fur is wavy or curly, but not woolly. 
The undercoat is thick and soft, and the outer coat is longer, with plush hairs.

The breed also offers optional feathering anywhere on the body, but it's most common at the tail, ears, and cheeks.
Koami is the only breed that can have extra feathering anywhere on the body.
Feathering can be wavy or curly (but not woolly).

Samora eyes are naturally accustomed and evolved to be able to see incredibly well in the dark; however, this gives them a disadvantage in sunlight. Because of this, the Samora's pupils are always a lighter color than the iris, usually a grey or white, and highly reflective. 

Samoras call their vision type "Darkvision", and the aversion to the sun "Sunblindness". 
Sunblindness effects all Samora, and they must wear protective eye-gear when in direct & indirect sunlight.

Koami ears are naturally Buttoned, meaning they are flopped forward, small-to-medium sized, and triangular-shaped.

Note: Please also add the regular Button Ears trait to your Koami. 

Samora ears are small and rounded, naturally placed close to the head to reduce the loss of heat.
Ears tend to be quite plush, with thick feathering at the base of the ear, and on the inside.

Ears on an Arkaine generally sit higher up on the skull than human ears.

Natural Glacial breed Arkaine ears are an erect triangular shape, but are stubbier than most other breeds.
They are plush-furred, like the rest of the body.
On average, Glacial ears range from 6-10 inches long.

Ears on an Arkaine generally sit higher up on the skull than human ears.

Natural Pointe breed Arkaine ears are slimmer than most other breeds, and about the same length as the Standard ears.
Ears are smooth and short-furred, like the rest of the body.
On average, Pointe ears range from 8-12 inches long.

Ears on an Arkaine generally sit higher up on the skull than human ears.

Natural Royal breed Arkaine ears are fox-like and triangular in shape.

Glacial breed Arkaine tails are covered in thick, plush, double-coated fur like the rest of the body.
On average, Glacial tails are short to medium-length and have a slight upward curve. 

Koami "Waterfall" tails at their base are usually rather short to medium-length in bone structure. 
These tails get their namesake because they are wavy or curly in feathering, and usually sport extremely long, silky hair.

These "waterfalls" often reach past the knees, and sometimes even drag along the ground behind an Arkaine. 

(Earth Example: Lhasa Apso)

On average, Pointe tails are short to medium-length and are straight, or have a slight upward curve.
