Traits

There is no maximum limit on tail length. However, your dragon’s tail must be long enough to be able to touch the ground. Legs will not attach to the tail.

Whip tail is a long, serpentine tail that ends in a taper. Simple in shape. It has strong musculature and decent weight to help with stabilization. Some dragons may even use them as a weapon (thus, their name).

Color Rules

Whip Tail will always be the same color as the rest of the body. Traits may extend to it.

Size & Range

There is no maximum limit on tail length. However, your dragon’s tail must be long enough to be able to touch the ground. Legs will not attach to the tail. Unless a dragon has Tailless, there must be a central bony area that tapers as it reaches the end--the same as a lizard or snake.

Shape

Whip Tails start off at the same size as the body and tapers slowly to the end. It will NOT resemble a cat tail, dog tail, or rat tail--those tails start off much skinnier and only taper at the end. Iguanas are a good living example of a Whip Tail, but you can also look at Diplodocus and other dinosaurs for an idea of what to do.

What’s the difference between whip tail and rat tail?
Rat tail starts off skinny and ends up skinny, similar to rats and other mammals, with very little muscle. On the other hand, Whip tail starts the same width as the body and gradually tapers, similar to lizards and other reptiles, and it has strong musculature.

What is the maximum/minimum tail length?
