Traits

Horns, spikes, claws, or hooves that are hollow, allowing them to fill with fluid or other material.

• This trait allows for the addition of new colors without the need for an item. Any new colors can only be applied to the area affected by the trait — adding new colors elsewhere on the body requires a Betta Brush.
• Keratin must represent the theme of the visor — such as containing the same colors, organisms, or habitat said organisms reside in — OR be full of liquid.
• Terrarium Keratin cannot contain organisms from other subtypes. For example, a sprout Terralien cannot have fish inside their horns.
• Terrarium Keratin can contain Charms or Glitter if either trait is added with a Trinket Orb.

This trait is applicable to the following subtypes for free when submitting a new design:
