Description I've wanted to create my own species for a long time, and I wanted it to be open and not have a lot of personality limitations so people have room to be creative and original in designing their own. I still have a few different species concepts bouncing around but they require more thought.

The species shown on the sheet aren't limited to just those, Hydramorphs can be made from ANY animal, alive or not, real or fake. Even other open species (ie. a manokit) as long as the original creator is okay with it. Please don't use closed species to make hydramorphs.


DESIGN:
- Entire head MUST be fur/skin, neck and chest is optional.

- Rest of body is liquid (type of liquid is optional), can be thin to thick liquids (ie. water vs lava).

- Liquid can morph into *Anything* but characters can have preferences for what they like to morph into/what they hate morphing into.

- Inside ears, eyes, nose and tongue are all liquid but only the tongue can morph, the rest can't (Horns/antlers are optional whether they're solid or liquid!).

- Liquid can be any colour, any mixture of colours, and can change colours.

- Basic shape (mainly for references) is of any animal.

- Liquid NEVER separates!! That also means no dripping aspects! (Honestly might take this out, idk)

- Liquid doesn't mix with any other liquid, even of its own kind. It would basically act as a solid so any other liquids would just drip off (or just not mix). (ie. a water liquid being rained on, the rain would just drip off, or if they went swimming it wouldn't mix (the water, unless it was a different colour, would also look invisible)).

- Liquid CANNOT freeze but they still feel temperature the way their sub-species does.

- Liquid can have things floating in it. Whether it's just stuff stored for later that can be taken out (ie. a favourite stuffed animal that they can't go anywhere without, a lunchbox, etc.) or if it's part of the design is up to the designer.

- Liquid can be solid or liquid on command (things can pass through it/it can pass through things that would normally soak up liquids).


BREEDING:
Typical animal way of breeding. Subspecies can inter breed to create hybrids (male morphs into the female's species to breed). If the two species differ with how offspring are born (Birds vs Dogs) than the process of birthing corresponds with the mothers breed (if the mother is a bird and father is a dog, the offspring will be born from an egg). Hybrids can have any characteristics from either parent.


PERONALITY SUGGESTIONS:
   (These aren't required, but you can use these if you'd like. Just some ideas to help create some personality if you can't think of anything. Hydramorphs can have ANY type of personality, there are no limitations )

- Likes to live relatively near their type of liquid.

- Doesn't like to live near their type of liquid, but travels to it for breeding/meeting a mate.

- Dislikes the opposite temperature of their liquid (if its not something that could be at room temperature, idk maybe they're fruit punch and live in the fridge xD).

- They spend most of their time in a sub-species form different from their own (maybe they like that sub-species more than their sub-species, or they have a crush on someone from another sub-species).



Basic Info Layout:

Species: Hydramorph
Sub-Species: [type of animal]
Breed: [if any]
Liquid: [colour if any] [type of liquid]



Here are a couple of my hydramorphs as a reference! I plan on making a bunch of these guys >:3
Tidal
Null



I know I've left out some types of information, I'd like to keep some things up to designers creativity.
If anyone has questions feel free to comment or note/message me!

I might make some bases for them, eventually, at some point...

Anyone is welcome to make characters, bases, adopts, etc!
Tag me! (Optional) I'd love to see what others create! <3
