Dyes are items used to recolor portions of a Mothcat/Subspecies, Item, or Companion.
=== Special Dyes ===
Special dyes add effects to the character or item being dyed. [[Applied Traits]], such as glittering and metallic effects, are achieved by using special dyes, named '''essences''' for distinction.
 
== Dye Coverage ==
Dyes have different coverage, depending on what is being dyed. The maximum coverage is how much of the body can be coated with one bottle of dye. Multiple bottles of dyes are required for full body coverage for Mothcats. Old art style dye bottles (small, reverse tear-shaped) are retired items but may still be used for dyeing at half the coverage of a new bottle.

For example, only one (1) bottle of dye is needed to completely dye an item a certain color. Two bottles of a specific color are required to completely recolor a Mothcat to that color.

All items can be recolored freely as long as the right dyes are being used.
