What are Marshmallow Moths?
They're soft, squishy, and shaped like a friend! These little critters range from fitting in the palm of your hand, to the size of a small housecat - perfect for curling up on your lap for an afternoon snooze. Marshmallow Moths can be both wild and domesticated. They mostly feed on nectar, but if you're keeping one as a pet, be sure to keep them well fed. If they end up nibbling on your cardigan, that's not their fault. They can be very cuddly creatures when they're kept as pets, and even in the wild, they're quite docile creatures. They're fine living solitary, in pairs, or in group settings.

They have a significant amount of fluff and, often, even their wings are fluffy. The rest of their body is covered in a fine layer of fur/hair to help them 'feel' the environment. They have six legs, two antennae, and a proboscis that can vary in shape and length. The fluff in their ears means that their hearing isn't the best, but they are very sensitive to touch. Their eyes work the same as a regular moth, except that these guys have a full range of color.

All in all, whether you're keeping them as a pet or admiring them in the wild, they're certainly an interesting little creature to have around.

The trait system for MM's is going to be a bit different than some other closed species'. There isn't a rarity tier, as such, more a list of legal + illegal traits that your MM can have. MYO's will be sold according to the amount of edits they allow, rather than the rarity of the traits themselves.

A-OKAY:
> tail (max. 3)
> fluff
> ears (max. 2 sets, 4 total)
> proboscis
> hair
> expression
> accessories
> paw-pad shape
> antennae
> extra eye (max. 3 total)
> wings

OFF-LIMITS:
> no fluff
> extra antennae
> extra limbs
> nose
> face shape/length
> 'normal' tongue
> 'normal' eyes / pupils
> lack of eyes
> eyes on body
> horns/spikes
> scales
> no tail
> no ears
> feathered/scaled wings
> gene splicing
> mechanical anything

CIRCUMSTANTIAL:
> wings; if you wanted to give them non-moth wings like - say, for example, a monarch butterfly - that would be fine, because they're still insect wings. likewise, if you wanted to make the wings fluffier or differently shaped, that should be fine too
> limbs; MM aren't naturally born as quadrupeds. if they have less than six legs this would canonically have to be due to a birth defect, or amputation. another example would be a MM having six legs but perhaps one or two having stunted growth, meaning they can't function like their other limbs. you might want to get approval before finishing your MYO if you're wanting to add this edit so that you can change things easily, if needed
> eyes; it's okay to change the expression of the eyes, but they must still have 'moth' eyes. the 'texture' of their eyes has its own layer within the folders so if you're struggling to recreate that appearance, feel free to copy + paste the layer if it will help. the opacity is turned down low, but you can adjust it if you want
> if there is an edit not listed here that you're interested in, please message me to discuss!
