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. | Tuxemon within a species may vary based on their genetics or environment.

* '''Regional variation''', for example, a butterfly tuxemon could have different wings based on which route it's captured in. | |||
* '''Sub-species''' | |||
* '''Speciation''' | |||
Magmaturtle's default form is a fiery turtle, but a sea-dwelling subspecies would have a different [[Type]] and techniques. | |||

* '''Congenital conditions''' are from birth, but not necessarily inherited, and are unusual - could include different colouration or features | |||
* '''Epigenetic changes''' are from birth and inherited, but not resulting from DNA (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics Wikipedia]) | |||
* '''Atavisms''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atavism Wikipedia]) | |||
* '''Random variations''' that emerge at birth but do not reflect genetic variation, like different monsters in a species having different patterns of spots | |||
Memnomnom's default form is the death mask of a particular king, but other death masks would exist for others who have been buried. | |||

* '''Permanent changes based on environment''' | |||
* '''Temporary changes based on environment''', like changing colour from eating berries of a particular colour | |||
* '''Changing based on the season''' ([https://io9.gizmodo.com/5959772/how-and-why-animals-change-color-with-the-seasons?IR=T io9]; [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenology Wikipedia]) | |||
Jemuar have different gems based on the rocks around where they were born. | |||

Katacoon evolves based on which technique it knows. | |||

=== | ==== Brief, cyclical or voluntary ==== | ||
[ | * '''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. | ||
* '''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 | |||
* '''Changing based on pregnancy or parenthood,''' where the changes only last for the duration | |||
[[ | Morphs that involve [[Booster Tech]] or [[Badges]] - like the [[Botbot]] family - are an example of this, since the transformation can be reversed or a new one selected. | ||

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. | There's art for some monsters that doesn't match their main form (e.g. [[Moloch]] and [[Jemuar]]).
