Sipper Tail Style Examples
Sippers are a species of shapeshifters who's 'true/neutral' form starts out generally the same in appearance at birth, but changes gradually as they grow and experience new things.
The tail is often the first part of the sipper's body to change as it grows, possibly due to it being a very easy appendage to shapeshift. Just like every aspect of their appearance, their tail is subject to change many times throughout the sipper's lifetime as well! Shown here are just a few examples of the kinds of tails you might see on a sipper (without the use of special feature sets), but you don't have to limit yourself to just these! Please feel free to use any of these styles for your sippers, combine them together, tweak/adjust them, or use something entirely new!
