=== Ultra Rare ===
Traits that are elemental or considered high luxury fall under the ultra rare category. In general, elemental traits are very unstable and most Mothcats who are born with them do not survive past [[Mothkitten|kittenhood]]. Mothcats with elemental traits are very rarely seen and over time have come to exist only in legends. '''(Note for Misa... maybe make the elemental trait blurb a separate page on its own.)'''

| Swirly
|
|Common tier swirly antennae are relatively short. Please refer to the length diagram above [[Size Traits|this link]] for an explanation of antennae length rarities.}} {{MCTraitsCommon|Stick Antennae.png}} {{MCTraitsInfo| Stick| |Thin-bodied antennae which resemble tree twigs, but thankfully, are not as brittle! Stick antennae should be distinct from antlers, following [https://www.deviantart.com/floramisa/art/Mothcats-Stick-Antennae-Trait-Clarification-612089774 these guidelines.]|}}
{{MCTraitsHead|Rare Traits}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| [[Floral Traits (Mothcats)|Floral]] (New!)
|
|The basic "flower-end q-tip" shape is the most common form of floral antennae. Different styles are available for floral traits, which may affect rarity. Please see [[Floral Traits (Mothcats)|this link]] for more details.}}
|
|Any shape at the end of q-tip antennae which are not tear-drop shaped are considered rare, including but not limited to pom-pom shapes, round balls, stars, etc. Please see [[Q-Tip Traits (Mothcats)|this link]] for more details on q-tip antennae.}}

{{MCTraitsInfo
| Multiple Double Sets
|
|Any set of antennae can be multiplied doubled for this trait, but the rarity will depend on both traits. (So having multiple sets is one trait, and the type of antennae will be another trait.)}}
{{MCTraitsUR|Crystal Antennae.png}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Crystal [[Elemental Traits (New!Mothcats)|Crystal]]
|
|Any type of stone or crystal falls under the crystal antennae category. Crystals can be any shape or color(including multicolored crystals), but they need to be the same type of crystal for both antennae. The antennae may be asymmetrical.}} {{MCTraitsUR|Ice Antennae.png}} {{MCTraitsInfo| [[Elemental Traits (Mothcats)|Ice]]| | Distinct from crystal antennae, the elemental ice antennae are cool to the touch, and sometimes found on Mothcats from the Northern regions, where they are believed to be important for temperature regulation.|}} {{MCTraitsUR|Water Antennae.png}} {{MCTraitsInfo| [[Elemental Traits (Mothcats)|Water (New!)]]| | Two motes of magical water sit on the mothcat's head in place of antennae, able to stay in place in spite of their fluid nature. Apparently, they taste like wet fur.|}} {{MCTraitsUR|Fire Antennae.png}} {{MCTraitsInfo| [[Elemental Traits (Mothcats)|Fire (New!)]]| | Two flames burn eternal on the forehead of a mothcat, generally warm to the touch unless they're especially hot-headed (punintended). |}}
{{MCTraitsUR|No Antennae.png}}
|
|Unlike folded ears, these ears naturally curl backwards.}}
{{MCTraitsRare|Wolf Ears.png}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Wolf (New!)
|
|My, what big ears you have! Well, I mean, they're not Fennec-big. But hey, they're still taller, pointier, and fluffier than your classic mothcat ears.}}
{{MCTraitsHead|Ultra Traits}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Papillon (New!)
|
|Humans bred for fluffy ears that vaguely resemble butterfly wings.}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Wing (New!)
|
|It took the fairies a few tries to figure out how to give Mothcats the gift of flight; these feathered wing ears are a remnant of some of the earlier attempts.}}
{{MCTraitsUR|Lamb Ears.png}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Lamb
|
|After creation of the woolly mane, the faeries worked for weeks to magically shape Mothcats' ears to match. These fairly short ears are notable for sticking out sideways from a Mothcat's head.

== Manes ==
{{MCTraitsBegin|Trait|Name|Origin ("Type")|Description}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| [[Feather Traits (Mothcats)|Feather]] (New!)
|
|Instead of thick fur, this mane is comprised of feathers. Sometimes it also includes a tall crest similar to a cockatiel.}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| [[Floral Traits (Mothcats)|Floral]] (New!)
|
|Unlike the leafy mane, this mane is made entirely out of flower petals.}}
{{MCTraitsRare|Boa Mane.png}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Boa
|
|This fashionable mane had its origins in Mothcat shows, where owners would shave and style their Mothcats' manes to give them a more distinctive look. Boa manes in particular were so popular that breeders found a way to replicate it, and Mothcats with "natural" Boa manes are all the rage in urban areas.

{{MCTraitsHead|Ultra Traits}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| [[Elemental Traits (Mothcats)|Flame]] (New!)

|A mane made of magical water. Don't drink it.}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| [[Elemental Traits (Mothcats)|Crystal]] (New!)
|
|Crystal manes may be made of a crystal cluster, or appear as one solid crystal.Crystals can be any shape or color, but they need to be the same type of crystal. Crystals may be more than one color.}} {{MCTraitsUR|Ice Mane.png}} {{MCTraitsInfo| [[Elemental Traits (Mothcats)|Ice]]| | Distinct from crystal manes, elemental ice manes are cool to the touch. More eclectic legends pin the origins of this trait to a Northern Mothcat '''so chilly''' that their mane froze permanently, but there probably isn't any truth to them.|}}

== Wings ==
{{MCTraitsBegin|Trait|Name|Origin ("Type")|Description}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| [[Elemental Traits (Mothcats)|Crystal]] (New!)
|
|Wings made of a surprisingly lightweight, living crystal. Crystals can be any shape or color, but they need to be the same type of crystal for both wings. Crystals may be more than one color.}}

|}}
{{MCTraitsRare|No Tail.png}}
|
|Mothcats born with two tails are considered bad omens in Eastern legends. Any set of tails can be multiplied for this trait, but the rarity will depend on both traits. (So having multiple sets is one trait, and the type of tail will be another trait.)}}
{{MCTraitsUR|Dragon Tail.png}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Dragon (New!)
|
|Recently there have been sightings of mothcats with strange draconic tails, often in areas with potent magical energies. These tails are said to be thick and scaly, lined with spines, and always seem to end in a spade tip. How edgy.}}
{{MCTraitsUR|Cloud Tail.png}}
{{MCTraitsInfo

|}}
{{MCTraitsRare|Feather Tufts.png}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Feather Tufts
|
| Because paw wings are so unstable, it is very rare that they develop fully, leading to small tufts of feathers at the base of a Mothcat's paw instead.

{{MCTraitsRare|Paw Puffs.png}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Paw Puffs (New!)
|
|Humans have bred Mothcats with cottony puffs around their wrists, not unlike a Poodle. They are a popular choice in Mothcat shows.}}
| Fangs
|
|Pointy teeth just long enough to stick out when the Mothcat's mouth is closed, unlike the regular sharp front teeth that most Mothcats posses.}}
{{MCTraitsRare|Underbite.png}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Underbite (New!)
|
|Turn those fangs upside down; an underbite gives a Mothcat two pointy teeth sticking up from their bottom lip even when their mouth is closed.}}
{{MCTraitsRare|Talons.png}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Talons
|
|While most Mothcats have sharp, retractable claws, talons have grown so large that they are unable to be retracted. Rumors have it that this trait has unsavory origins in illegal Mothcat fighting, but regardless, owners of Mothcats with the talon trait better have some hardcore scratching posts at the ready.

{{MCTraitsRare|Facial Hair.png}}
{{MCTraitsInfo
| Facial Hair
|
| A failed faerie attempt at long fur that ended up so endearing, it became a trait all its own. Many Mothcats have short facial "scruff," which is not a trait - it is only when the facial hair is long and distinct that it becomes rare+.

{{MCTraitsHead|Ultra Traits}}
| Hairless
|
|Hairless MothcatSome Mothcats lose their fur entirely as they grow from a kitten to a young adult. This is a very bittersweet occurrence; while some value these unique cats for their striking appearance and rarity, the loss of mane fur to wrap a cocoon often makes these cats unable to have kittens without intervention from Falena. }}
