More information can be found on StarDragons here.
Subtypes are regional variations within the StarDragon races, featuring unique features and traits. Subtypes are all COMMON, meaning you can switch your StarDragon's subtype to fit their home and lineage (within your rarity tier and number of >uncommon traits. Traits that are uncommon are uncommon across the board, no traits are more or less common if they match the subtype). Subtype traits are not locked to their types, meaning you can have a Desert Dasher with Kelpie Dasher feet if you so choose! These cases can be chosen either for aesthetics, or to show intermingling lineage. HOWEVER, the no hybridization between races rule still applies. You cannot apply Dasher traits to Sweepers, etc. You cannot give mossy fins to a Shooter born to a Kelpie Dasher and a Shooter. You can however show interspecies lineage genealogy for fluff levels and fur length, since these are not traits and have no rarity. Fluff it up.
Hopefully that is all clear, if you have any questions please ask down below!
DISCLAIMER: While we have created several subtypes with very lore-heavy concepts, no one is under any obligation to follow Jo’Arca lore for their subspecies. If a person simply wishes to apply the look to a StarDragon for no other reason than “it looks cool” that is perfectly fine! The lore is mainly there for people who like having an extra bit of concept flavor or want to make characters that go with the Jo’Arca lore.

STARDASHER SUBTYPE - KELPIE DASHER
“Beware the lights in the bogs...nothing good comes from the lights in the bogs...”
There are many warnings to StarDragons young and old to avoid the marshy swamps in their travels. Tales of dangerous creatures and even more dangerous StarDragons. Most StarDragons assume the warnings are in regards to StarRobbers as the undead often make the secluded area their home. But the StarDragons who live near the borders of the Oriens swamp know there is a far worse threat that lurks beneath the murky waters.
For the longest time the Kelpie Dashers were considered more an urban legend and old wives tale. The fact that those who ventured into the swamps rarely returned to tell what they have seen contributed to this. Ironically enough, it was thanks to the slow growing acceptance of Robbers that information about Kelpie Dashers began to surface to the outside world.
According to most Kelpie Dashers, they trace their origin back to a legend of a village of Dashers that swore fealty to Lenus. Depending on the tribe, it is said Lenus either blessed them or cursed them to the forms they have now. Regardless of if their adaption is divine or simply the result of multiple generations living in swamp like conditions, the Kelpie Dashers have adapted to life in the swamps quite effectively. While not able to breath water, Kelpie Dashers can submerge and hold their breath for great lengths of time. Their fur tends to grow longer and more shaggy, particularly around the lower arms and legs. Instead of the typical Dasher hooves, they sport two toes, sometimes webbed to aid in swimming as well as their ears often taking a more fish like appearance with webbed aesthetics.
The most notable adaptation however is that their gems are embedded deeper in their bodies, often with a layer of skin over them so all that is visible is the glow. There has been a lot of speculation about the reason why. Some theorize it is to make them more difficult for shooters to harvest. Others speculate it aids in stealth as they are seeking prey in the swampy waters. And some theorize it is because when Lenus transformed them, she wanted to make them appear more like her fishers so the gems now resemble where gills would have been. Those who theorize that also theorize it explains why the Kelpie Dashers behavior is more similar to fishers than their fellow dashers. With sharp fangs and a near carnivorous diet, the Kelpie Dashers are considered a more predatory StarDragon species... and have shown themselves to be fully capable and willing to cannibalize other StarDragon species that travel the swamps. Where as most Robbers in the swamp are pretty obvious in their tactics, Kelpie Dashers more ambush predators... often using magic to create mist and noises and lights to confuse and lead lost travelers to their doom.
Generally Kelpie Dashers are more solitary, though rumors of small villages hidden in the swamp have been whispered about. The average Kelpie tends to live alone in a small hut raised above the swamp waters. In recent times however, there has been a growing amount of Kelpie Dashers who share their homes with Robbers... finding the undead race pleasant company and also unappetizing to eat themselves.
In a twist of fate, it is thanks to the Robbers that the Kelpie have begun to become more curious of the world outside their swamps, with a few beginning to travel outward for the first time. Thanks to them, the outside world has begun to gain access to incredibly rare plants that aid in magical reagents and medicine. As it turns out, a fair amount of Kelpie Dashers are quite adept that making sigils and alchemy... making poisons toxic enough it can drop a Sweeper or medicines that are rumored to even be able to cause Severblight to go dormant.
With not many flowers that grow in the swamp, many female Kelpies make an adornment out of moss and bones and vines. There has been many rumors of young ladies escaping the swamp alive due to trading away her flower for her life as female Kelpie Dashers often vie for the more beautiful looking flowers that live outside their domain.
In recent times, some Kelpies have begun to explore the world outside their swamps. They tend to naturally get along with fishers and robbers, though often find it difficult to connect to their fellow dasher brethren. Despite the knowledge surfacing about this subtype, most still heed the warnings to avoid the swamps and be cautious of the creatures that lurk within.
Moss on the horns would be considered an uncommon trait.
