Tuxemon within a species may vary based on their genetics or environment. Variants could be purely mechanical, purely cosmetic or mechanical and cosmetic, and either be fixed from a monster's birth, fixed from some point after birth, or able to be changed.

=== Local variation ===
For example, a butterfly tuxemon could have different wings based on which route it's captured in.


Eastern [[Delichick]] and [[Herotint]] are brown in colour and aggressive; western [[Delichick]] and [[Herotint]] are blue and tricky.

* '''Sub-species'''

Magmaturtle's default form is a fiery turtle, but a sea-dwelling subspecies would have a different [[Type]] and techniques.

=== Sub-species ===
 
[[Ignibus]]' default form is a fiery turtle, but a sea-dwelling subspecies would have a different [[Type]] and techniques.

The [[Furnursus]] and [[Bursa]] families may be closely related: both are fiery bears with a meditative/psychic side.

[[Patheak]] takes a new form when its confidence increases.

[[Memnomnom]]'s masks take the form of a dead king's face. This could also belong to the '''tool use''' category if it turns out that they can change their masks.

=== Triggered changes ===
* '''Triggered changes''', like a skink losing its tail to distract a predator or a cuttlefish changing pigmentation; a tuxemon could change its colours to match its trainer, and if its trainer changed clothes it would change colouring. A tuxemon could have different abilities based on which status they had when they were caught.

Morphs that involve [[Booster Tech]] or [[Badges]] - like the [[Botbot]], [[Grintot]] and [[Grubble]] families - are an example of this, since the transformation can be reversed or a new one selected.

[[Bewhich]] has a "sealed form":
* '''Tool use''', like a hermit crab getting different powers based on what shell they use as their home or a coconut crab getting more defence while it has a coconut shell, or a domesticated monster wearing clothes or getting a haircut (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_use_by_animals Wikipedia])
 
* '''Stimulant reaction''', like a dragon becoming ultra-powerful for a period after touching a magical stone

[[Vyking]] is normally equipped with weapons and a helmet, but can also be found without them.

There's art for some monsters that doesn't match their main form (e.g. [[Moloch]] and [[Jemuar]]). This could be a form that is temporarily unlockable, e.g. through injecting them with a stimulant.
