A prominent nosepad shaped like a diamond, like a sea otter!

• It should be proportional to the ottagi's face and not appear excessively small.

A short, sleek fur coat that's well-suited for aquatic environments.

How to apply this trait:

• The fur should remain relatively short in length, giving the ottagi a smooth, streamlined appearance.
• Stylized tufts can be added to give the coat a fluffier appearance, but the overall length must be kept in check!
• If the fur is long enough to be very shaggy or fluffy throughout the body, it would be considered a long coat.

Pawed Feet have back feet that are paws, much like a cat or dog.

How to apply this trait:

• The back paws should be similar in form and function to the front paws.

• The tail should be between 75% and 100% the length of the ottagi's body, unless combined with long tail.

Short, retractable claws that are common for most ottagi.
