🌱 Hello! This is the Official Insectoplant Trait list! 🌱
All possible traits should be listed here, along with a set of guidelines on what you can and can't do with a design.
Requirements & NotesInsectoplants have little restriction in order to deliver the most unique and creative designs our members can muster; However, there are guidelines. Please read below to understand what goes and what doesn't---The required traits and other information for all Insectoplants are seen below or in their respective tabs.

  • Teabeetles require a Horn trait, while the other subspecies have rounded snouts instead. All subspecies can now use nose horns as well, but its up to you and is totally optional! Otherwise all subspecies are able to utilize smooth snouts.

  • All subspecies needs spiracles, a plant, and a tail/wing trait.

  • Head horns, Fur, Spikes, Bumps, and Odd fur formations are not traited.

  • All traits can now swap freely within the same rarity. For any swaps outside of rarities (i.e. Rare --> Mutation) you will need an eclair from our shop!

  • You can change the design as much as you want including all colors as long as it resembles the original at least a little! The design doesn't need to keep markings, major aspects, etc. You just need to be able to tell what the original design was. Please be aware it is up to staff discretion for what is considered "too far" from the original.

  • Prosthetics and limbs/eyes/body differences, etc. related to injury or disability are completely untraited and free to add.
