mutations 101
Mutations ( and evolutions ) helped Tamashi Tails to survive for centuries.
Most of them happens because of their genetic, while others may be because of the habitat the Tamashi lives in.
Some are species adaptation, but for the sake of classification, it will be described as mutations !

UPPER FRONT LEGS WINGS The first ever existing Tamashi Tails all had wings, and traveled a lot before being sedentary.
Since most Tamashi Tails don't have to travel around the globe anymore, and stays on the Hidden Islands, this strange feature seem to have disappeared from any young Tamashis, but the upper part of their front legs still goes up as it used to be. It won't grow feathers anymore, but is still covered with fuzzy, short fur ! |
THIRD EYESThird eyes are very rare, and Tamashis with one are rejected for being different, because of fear of unknown.
Having a third eye is the only way to have divination powers for a Tamashi, and only one by centuries are born with this magic eye, who can blink, but is blind from reality, and can only see souls, past and future, not the present time. It is a curse and a blessing at once. |
overgrowing feelersFeelers, act as whiskers. Feelers grow over time, like human ears do. Some Tamashi Tails have defective feelers, which gets longer than supposed to after puberty.
If too long, feelers get sensible. In some cases, it hurts the Tamashi, in others, the Tamashi is simply more alert and sensible than others to stimulus. Witches cannot fix this, but can give them potions to numb the pain if needed. |
hyper-crystallizationA bit like scales and spikes, crystals can appear on the body of a Tamashi, but sometimes, more is less. Hyper-Crystallization can cover the entire body of a Tamashi, grow inside and out, and cover the eyes, wings, horns, etc.
As pretty as this mutation is, some believe statues in temples that seems to be made of crystals might be actual Tamashis, slowly eaten by the crystals and sleeping until the end of times .. But that is just a rumor, right ? |
