RARITY CHART
As mentioned earlier, there is tonnes of variation within the species. It is these varieties that affect the rareness of the individual. Whilst most share similar characteristics and stick mainly to the common and uncommon features, there are a few out there who are considered extremely rare and unique. Hopefully these diagrams will give you some kind of idea about the variations and how common they are.

These are the two known body shapes of the Canora. Most of them slightly resemble canids, but are larger and thinner, with tails as long as their bodies, long necks and big feet. This structure is perfect for their nature, as they are active, agile creatures. They love to run, jump, swim and climb, and all of these features contribute in helping them achieve greatness in all of their activities.
However, there have been a rare few who have a much longer body, looking almost snake-like. As mentioned earlier, some Canora have a dominant side, and often certain aspects of their chosen DNA affects their appearance and personality. It is thought that perhaps certain snakes have been used on some individuals, to give them this long, skinny appearance.
Of course this doesn't include the reptilian Canora. We are still researching those few individuals, as they are far few in between, and usually extremely vicious. However, mainly reptile Canora are much larger, stronger and have a much greater scale-coverage than most.
Here are some diagrams of the eyes and mouths of the Canora, along with a colour palette.
Most Canora have been seen with slitted pupils. These individuals always have yellow eyes, and nothing else. However, there are many with eyes that look more canine, and their irises come in many different colours. On the left hand side of the colour scale -- the golds and browns -- are the most common colours. Although unnatural colours -- reds, purples, blue and greens -- have also been found on Canora, but this is less common.
It has also been found in Canora that they can have forked tongues. This is the most common, however, some have normal canine tongues. Their teeth are large and strong and seem to resemble a typical canines, but their gums and tongues are slightly different from what we'd see in a wolf. Whilst some individuals have natural looking gums and tongues -- pink and peach colours -- others have very striking colours. They can even come in vivid blues, greens, purples or even blacks and whites! However, black or white tongues are EXTREMELY rare.

Canora can either have a typical canine nose or more of a reptile nose. The canid nose is more common, but the reptile isn't far behind. Noses too can come in a wide variety of colours, but are mainly seen in black or dark tones.
There are also a few variations in their ears. The most common is large and triangular. They have small slits in them, either one or several in each, and are usually carried back. Some Canora have furry ears, with tufts of fur on the top, sides, or even insides. This is less common, but certainly possible. The most rarest form of Canora ears, or to put literally, the LACK of ears is the rarest. Some Canora do not have ears at all! Instead, they resemble reptiles, and have their eardrums flush with the sides of the head or slightly recessed.
The head itself of the Canora can too vary. Whilst most are typically canine-looking, with a long muzzle, diamond shaped eyes and erect ears, some differ. The main differences are when the reptile gene dominates, and makes certain facial features change. These can include but are not limited to: a shorter, wider muzzle, broader jaws, larger head and/or heavy eyebrows. Whilst it is relatively common for an individual to maybe have one of these features, a Canora with a mainly reptilian head is extremely rare. These reptile-like individuals often have a hard time fitting in, and are usually shunned from their own kind. More on this later! |
Horns are also possible within the species! Again, with plenty of variants. The most common is a single pair of head horns pointed backward. Many Canora have been seen with these, and come in a range of sizes. Curled 'ram' horns are less common, but definitely possible. Horns that point forwards are rare.
It is also possible for a Canora to have more than one pair of horns! Whilst it is incredibly rare, some individuals have both pointed and curled horns!
But horns aren't limited to just the head. Many Canora have been seen with horns and spikes on various parts of their bodies. A large amount seem to sprout horns on the noses, cheeks and shoulders. Some may even get horns on their spine, their elbows, ankles, hips and tail. These however are rarer, in particularly tail spikes. Not many cases have been found with horns on the tail.
Canora have large reptilian-looking feet that have paw pads. Best of both worlds! Their claws can differ in length, but one specific rare trait is a raptor claw. Very few Canora have been seen with this crazy looking claw, whether it be on just two feet or all four.
There are a few different tail types that are known among Canora. The most common is the middle image: long, tapering with a tuft of fur at the tip. The hair can be almost any colour. Though a canine-looking tail is just as common. Canora use their long tails for balance, and even for certain activities such as communicating among themselves.
A wide, tapering tail is less common. It is considered more of a reptilian feature as it usually lacks fur, or is covered in very short fur.
