My entry for PonePone’s Subspecies Competition because why not.
Now let me get into character. AHEM…
———
Hello once again, I’m Dr. Jeremiah Evergreen. You may remember me from my experiment with Lily and her foals. Anyways, we from HappyFluff Co. introduce you our new species of fluffies: Mood Fluffies.
Mood Fluffies are like mood rings. The only difference from normal fluffies are their manes and tails, which glow according to their current emotion.
These fluffies are much more sensitive than normal ones, as even a slight pinch of pain could make them cry or a simple compliment would make them giggle and happy.
Now you may be asking… Where does the light come from? Here it is.
They have small, wart-like parts on their heads and tails which will be completely covered when their fur grows back. These parts are very sensitive, if someone wants to cut all their fluff they have to be extra careful, as even a slight cut could cause immense pain to the fluffy due to the nerves inside these.
There can still be alicorns, unicorns, pegasi and earthies and have many varied colors, the only changes are their manes.
When a Mood Fluffy is born, their mane is pure black as a foal, which eventually changes to gray when they first open their eyes. Starting from the weanling phase, their mane will now change colors like the rest of their species. Their mane is perpetually glowing until death, when it turns black once again.
There are many colors due to a fluffy’s various emotions, like red for rage, blue for sadness, green for happiness, pink for love, etc.
They will soon be available for purchase in most FluffMarts, as the test phase is ending right as we speak.
We hope to see you again sometime in the future, aswell as our Mood Fluffies will wait for you to buy them and take care of them.
From yours truly, Jeremiah Evergreen.
