Traits

🌈 Can be applied to a browbird using a Mythic Trait Potion
🌈 Can also be applied to a browbird using a Grilled Geck
➕ Can be applied to an Astrean browbird as a free trait.

Trait: Adds large protective plate scales to the front of the character
Size: Max coverage can cover the entire front neck, chest, and belly of the character AND the underside of the tail. Scale size can be fairly large like the examples.

✅ Can be applied to the chest/belly area on the front of the character, the underside of the tail, or both. Can also be applied to the front of the neck but cannot be ONLY on the neck.
✅ Can be 1 single line of larger ventral scales or a single main line with 1 small connecting layer on either side like example 2
✅ Can blend into the fur and only be distinguished by lines or can be a clearly separated out layer of scales, stylization up to you!
✅ Can be patchy or have scattered coverage across the coverage area and does not need to be all connected. Such as just on the chest + half the tail.
✅ Can be asymmetrical, have scratches and chipped edges
✅ Can be lightly shiny or glossy
✅ Can be slightly raised and layered over each other but should not jut out far from the chest.

❌ Scales cannot be small, use regular Scales instead. Plate scales must have the main layer of large scales
❌ Cannot be applied to tails that are entirely made of fur/hair/feathers!
❌ Cannot exceed the coverage area or wrap around parts of the body, tail, or neck. Can only be in the locations shown in the examples.
❌ Should NOT look like raised jutting out armor or spikes, must clearly be flatter layered scales (sticking up a little is ok!). Cannot heavily resemble other traits ie: regular scales, aspect mastery traits, spikes, without the corresponding trait also present.
