Description


I'm sorry it took me some time to be able to properly make this guide, but I hope that this will help explain the concept of 'Mutation' traits much clearer.
In addition to this new guide, there has been an additional alteration to one mutation trait too!

   

Wings
Wings are not limited to angelic or demonic, and can be made from a number of organic, or even manmade materials. 
These are attached to the lockettes body and cannot be removed, though sometimes that can change in size to suit the lockette.
For example, if it is busy or crowded, they can shrink their wings to save space. If they want to be flashy, they can use some of their Saura to expand their wings.
A lockettes wings will typically never grow to larger than twice their overall arm span, though this is only a rough estimate.
Lockettes can have more than one set of wings or even just a single wing, and there is no limit as to where these can form.


Halos and Horns
Halos and Horns are considered to be somewhat more sinister than wings, as they are both often very painful for others to touch.
Halos are usually incredibly hot, and horns are often razor-sharp, though there are exceptions to this rule.
Typically another being that touches them will feel pain if it is done without consent.
Horns and Halos usually form on their heads, but they can grow elsewhere as well.
Some lockette like to accessorize their halos, as they have a slight gravitational pull to them, so they weave decorations into the halo such as flowers and precious stones.
Horns are made up of a similar cartilage to the lockettes shell, only this is much more dense.

Broken Charms and Chains
Lockette charms and chains do not break after they are born. Think of the charm as more a visual representation of their spiritual energy, it remains consistent from birth to death.
Even if a lockette fragments in later life, this will not affect their charms structure, as this is formed when they come into the heartlands and not in later life.
Though, sadly, they can still become emotionally damaged later.
If a Lockette is born unstable, this usually impacts their charms formation. Sometimes this will shatter the charm, other times the chain that binds it to their neck.
Sometimes this will affect them physically. Impairing their stamina and making it difficult for them to summon their weapons.
Other times, the damage is internal, and it will have a huge impact on the Lockettes emotional state. 


Missing Collar
Lockettes could previously have a ring-shaped charm replace the collar, but now any charm can substitute the collar when mutated.
These charms are embedded into the lockettes body and can be placed around the neck, collarbone or chest.
If you have the mythic 'dual' collar charm trait, you can still have multiple charms as well.

Alternate keyhole shapes
Lockettes always need to have a keyhole on their body. This acts as a vent for their excess saura.
Typically this will be a keyhole shape, but sometimes things get mixed up and the entire structure of this vent can distort.
This ranges from slightly more decorative keyholes, to entirely new shapes altogether.


   

I tried to be as clear as possible in the guide, but if you have additional questions regarding Mutation traits, please do comment below and I will do my best to answer.
For more information regarding Lockettes traits, please see our general rarity guide:

Can lockettes have wings as arms? like a harpy?

Chixerii In reply to nanonovaa [2019-09-24 17:11:09 +0000 UTC]

No, they need to have intact limbs. If they lost their arm they can have artificial or mechanical replacements only

I have a question, could a Lockette have a "Horn" but like, it's decorative?
Same thing with Halo's/Wings? Like, it's part of a get-up the Lockette has. They aren't attached to their bodies, but, they just like them~

Chixerii In reply to Ryan-The-Rainbow [2019-09-16 16:57:27 +0000 UTC]

they can have little clip in ones as long as it is clear that they are an accessory and not a part of the design ^^

RubySol [2019-07-26 12:09:51 +0000 UTC]

Are mutation add-ons special events or can you buy them? I have an idea for a bat themed Lockette but I don't have a mutation add-on ^^

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Chixerii In reply to RubySol [2019-07-26 22:06:07 +0000 UTC]

they are only available during special sales which are pretty rare!
I will be sure to advertise when our next one is on as it has been some time ^^

RubySol In reply to Chixerii [2019-07-26 22:11:29 +0000 UTC]

Do you need to buy a specific rarity slot with them or are they add-ons to any slot?

Chixerii In reply to RubySol [2019-07-28 14:20:03 +0000 UTC]

they can be used on any c:

Vampirewitch2K [2017-09-09 18:14:46 +0000 UTC]

I got a question. I'm going to using the mutation add-on for wings and I was wondering do we only use one set of wings since it is one add-on or can we use multiple sets of wings? 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Chixerii In reply to Vampirewitch2K [2017-09-09 20:19:29 +0000 UTC]

You could use multiple sets if you wanted to!
In stead of a 'per trait' system, Lockettes are tiered so that you can have multiple traits from the same rarity in one slot, this counts for mutations too <3

Vampirewitch2K In reply to Chixerii [2017-09-09 22:39:45 +0000 UTC]

Wait since lockette are tiered that means I can use any amount of mutations since I have mutation add-on? Sorry I just got confused again for a second.

Chixerii In reply to Vampirewitch2K [2017-09-09 22:57:14 +0000 UTC]

Yep thats correct! You could use multiple different ones on the same MYO if you like <3

Kioni24 [2017-09-05 06:43:02 +0000 UTC]

Question: If in sale, you buy a mutation Slot, do you have access to all the mutations for that slot?

Also: If you buy a mutation, do you only get it for one lockette or is it for all lockettes you make in future?( i would assume its for only one but just in case)

Also Also: Do you know when the next Mutation sale will open?

(I ask coz i wanna make an angel and a demon baby lmfao)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Chixerii In reply to Kioni24 [2017-09-06 13:35:14 +0000 UTC]

You have access to any number of mutations if you have a mutation slot, as it classes as an entirely new 'tier' same with MYOs for the species!

And it is one per lockette yep, you would need another slot for another design Im afraid! >
I am planning on holding a mutation slot sale some time during the month, and I will be sure to post up when I next do!
They don't come up for sale often but on average theres around 3 chances per year to get a mutated slot

Shineba [2017-08-17 05:42:20 +0000 UTC]

Would body parts include mutation?
Such as satyr feet, multiple eyes, extra limbs etc.

Chixerii In reply to Shineba [2017-08-17 15:09:55 +0000 UTC]

No, that would be considered legendary as it is not any listed trait!
Legendary lockettes are only available through special customs, as they are incredibly exclusive >3👍: 0 ⏩: 1

I love the example Lockettes!! I wish I bought more mutations in the sale CRIES they're all so cute!!
It's gonna be hard picking a mutation to use for my slot ouo"
This guide overall is going to help me a lot in the future as I was a lil confused about mutations in general! So thank you! <3

Chixerii In reply to Aquariiaa [2017-07-06 19:29:05 +0000 UTC]

Ahh I am glad people like them! I was just wanting to smother them in as many mutations as possible and got carried away ahaha /v\
Ou so you know, Lockettes work on a tier-system, not just single trait, so you could use more than one mutation on the same lockette if you got a mutation from my last sale!
Ahh I am really so glad, I shoudl have done this much sooner!

Aquariiaa In reply to Chixerii [2017-07-06 19:58:17 +0000 UTC]

Ahhh oh my gosh I had no idea!! //shot

I want to make an angel bab so now I know I can use wings, halos etc >v<

This is very neat and cute ;o;
I have a question though, would broken chains still have the charm eh- floating there? Or could it be gone completely?

Chixerii In reply to xHunterBeatsx [2017-07-06 18:42:23 +0000 UTC]

They could be missing entirely, yes~!

RandomStorytale [2017-07-06 18:21:28 +0000 UTC]

Question! So the spikes on the male, would that be considered "horns"?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Chixerii In reply to RandomStorytale [2017-07-06 18:22:13 +0000 UTC]

Thats correct, yes <3
Horns would generally be any kind of protrusion on the body that normally wouldn't be there
