This is an incomplete list of the different traits that a Samanayr can have. Some are species-specific, some are unique, and some are just really, really strange. There are several different trait categories, arranged alphabetically.

Also included on this page are features. They're not quite traits, but variations of normal Samanayr features, such as mane and tail hair styles. You're welcome to specify features when designing a custom.
