Traits

Default to: Metal

Snouts designed for digging through substrate and finding small creatures. Their sensitive noses can detect slight electromagnetic fields that their prey exhibits.

Shape

You may reference opossums, moles, rodents, pangolins, anteaters, and the mammal order Eulipotyphla. If referencing a species, ears must have realistic proportions compared to the species referenced. Stylized ears that are too large will be pinged. If you are not referencing a species, ears should be very small or nonexistent, as in the above examples. You are free to include strange nose shapes if they match the species.

These are one of the most versatile type of snout, but they do have a very defining feature. Their brow will always be very concave or convex. A snout will never be both--it may only have one curve direction (though, it can be dramatic enough to loop around!) There may be a small area towards the snout that sharply flattens. For nostrils, you may use lizard-like nostrils or small mouse-like nostrils. If you do choose to refer to specific species for oddities like a star-shaped nose, you can’t combine multiple species, and it must look like that species. When looking for inspiration, only look at species with eyes (unless your dragon has the true sight ability).

Examples without a Specific Species Reference:

The left three all have dramatic concave or convex brows. The one on the right does not pass, as the brow is flat and not dynamic, AND it does not reference a species listed above.

Can scrounge snout have rabbit ears?
No, they are too large. The examples at the top of the page show how large Scrounge Snout ears are allowed to be.

Can I have slitted eyes with non-reptilian snouts?
Yes! Eye pupils are not tied to snout types.

Can my dragon have a flat brow/normal-looking brow if I reference a species?
Yes, as long as it's a species from opossums, moles, rodents, pangolins, anteaters, and the mammal order Eulipotyphla.

Can my dragon have fangs or tusks?
Fangs and tusks should not protrude the distance of the lower jaw (and definitely not hang out) without the Fanged mutation unless otherwise noted. Tiny little nibble fangs are fine. All dragons, regardless of snout type, may have carnivorous-looking teeth.
