Bunbranches Guide- Overview- UPDATE

  With the popularization of exotic pets and a rather liking for a particular sea slug that resembled a bunny, Bunbranches, are a human-made species with mixed characteristics of sea slugs and domestic rabbits, but their genetic makeup and ability to adapt to so many environments has made them to become more than that.
  These small creatures are able to survive various types of environments, and due their ability to reproduce fast, they can be found in various places in the wild as well, even outside the water. Don't underestimate their small size and adorableness, those creatures are quite smart and dangerous if not treated with care.

  Bunbranches come in a variety of different colors, shapes and patterns that do make each individual unique! They could be literally anything and domestic buns are often themed after something as their coloration and patterns can be manipulated in their kit days.

Bunbranches have no fluff in their bodies, the only areas where they can grow some sort of pseudo-fur is on their head tufts, neck and limbs, otherwise they are completely naked. Their skin is very soft to the touch, almost like velvet and they are very good for petting, not really minding being touched by a friendly person. It has been found out they do release a certain chemical-magical compound that helps in relaxation for the companion of the bunbranch, making them popular stress relieving pets.

They can also have pustules, mantles and other things that will cover their bodies. Some special subspecies with unique rare traits have also been appearing with certain environment conditions, and are often desired by collectors.

    Bunbranches have small, round eyes, that can see pretty far away, but not as detailed as other species. Because of that they need their rhinophores to assist locomotion.
    They don't have any noses as their other organs do cover breathing and smelling abilities. With luck, one may be born with a nose, but it's an oddity to happen.
    Their cheeks sometimes may have tentacles, that assist the bun into holding their meal and may be used for courtship, where they'll rub their cheeks against each other.

  Limbs

What's often mistaken as a bunbranch's tail, is actually either their gills or Cerata that allow or help them to breathe. Poking them without an allowance of the bun itself might end on something ugly to see. Buns often groom their gills to keep them moist for functioning outside water. It seems that underwater they use their skin to breathe, pretty much like frogs.
 The cerata, while it helps them a bit with breathing, is mostly a defense mechanism that may release dangerous chemicals to someone's body.

 Their agility is exceptional, however it has a cost: They are low energy animals and only run when its necessary as they do take a huge amount of energy that their small bodies don't have. They have to eat and sleep often as a result of it. When a bunbranch is tired, they'll be very sluggish and slide along the floor without using their arms.
