Category: Ear Mutation
Species: Xero
Lop Ears are an uncommon mutation observed on Xeros. Xeros with these ears lack structural cartilage and muscle control, leading to fully hanging ears like the ears of a lop rabbit.

Desert Ears (Desert)
Category: Ear Mutation
Desert Xeros can have larger than average ears to radiate heat, this trait is known as Desert Ears. They can be any shape (pointy fennec-like, rounded jackrabbit-like, etc.) Size can vary a bit, but is generally about 1.5 to 2x the height of the head.
How to get this trait
This trait can only be added to Desert Xeros, or by using a Desert Vial on a Xero that has the "Glitched" status.
Tundra Ears (Tundra)
Category: Ear Mutation
Tundra Xeros can have extremely fluffy ears called Tundra Ears; the fluff is so long that the tufts of fur inside cover most or all of the visible skin and hangs outside the ears!
How To Use This Trait
DO: Tundra Ears can include very long tufts of fur inside the ears that covers most of the visible skin, all of the visible skin, sticks outside the ears, or forms a ring of fur around the skin of the inner ear.
DO NOT: Xeros without the Tundra Ear trait should not have overly fluffy ear insides. A very small tuft of fur as an accent is allowed, but it cannot take up too much space inside the ear or poke outside the ear at all. Xeros without the Tundra Ear trait should also not have overly fluffy ear outsides, with the exception of the Tufted Ear trait allowing the Xero to have fluffy ear tips.
This trait can only be added to Tundra Xeros or Xeros that have the "Glitched" status by using a Tundra Vial.

🚫 Don't
The color inside a Xero's ear is bare skin, not fur! The fur tufts on the ear tips must be a different color to separate them from the skin of the ear insides. If you are looking for a trait that changes the shape of the outer ear & skin, see the Frilled Ears trait.

Hollow Ears (Hollow)
Category: Ear Mutation
These ears are unique to Hollow Xeros, and while they fit the shapes and sizes you expect from a standard Xero, they do have an adaptation unique to their type. The ear's interior cartilage is ridged, acting as a type of acoustic focusing lens to help sharpen sounds for positional accuracy in the dark. Hollow ears can be a solid color, or have a gradient of changing colors within the different segments. The ridges within the ear must be present.
