    • Hereditary Traits

    Hereditary traits are visual markers that are passed down hereditarily by specific Felvargs. The Felvargs themselves present these traits, and have traits applied to indicate they pass them down to offspring. Most hereditary traits simply require the Felvarg be present in the visible lineage of another Felvarg, but this is not always the case. Be sure to read each hereditary marker individually to determine its specific rules and requirements.
    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    This FAQ is currently being drafted, please check back for a comprehensive list of commonly asked questions pertaining to Hereditary Traits.

  • Does the Download link include every single hereditary marker listed in this guide?
    The download file provided will be a singular file that hosts each of our hereditary trait aids. Please understand this file is merely meant to be useful, and while it can if applicible be used, it is more or less meant to offer guidance and an anchor to buiild off of. Furthermore the file is still being populated so if a file is not present please check back at a later date for its useful contents.
  • Do I supply the hereditary trait on my Felvarg in its Official Import Information if I can use it?
    No, only the Felvarg that begins the hereditary marker, or is capable of passing it on hereditarily will have the trait applied. That Felvarg being in the right place within your lineage will allow you to use it/display it.

    Ridgeback Razor - Apply this blessing to visually depict a razorback mohawk starting from the forehead of your Felvarg, and trailing back down the spine. Your mohawk should be spiked, so be careful not to curl or manipulate it otherwise. Be careful to keep the same spine/back position as our default lines. Abuse of superficial lines should be necessary, relative and minor. (Example)
    Tattered Cheeks / Tummy Tucked - Display these custom tattered cheeks and visually reduce the weight in the stomach region of your Felvarg as quirks unique to Anubis 6637 when Sphynx and Hellhound are present.
    Gnaw of Anubis - Display three sets of teeth, two tusks, and a set of custom fangs.
