It would be possible to have different variants of a single tuxemon, with different appearances. Two that were created as an experiment can be found on the wiki.

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.

Genetic

  • Regional variation, for example, a butterfly tuxemon could have different wings based on which route it's captured in.
  • Sub-species
  • Speciation

Congential

  • Sexual dimorphism is differences within a species based on the sex (see Wikipedia)
  • 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 Wikipedia)
  • Atavisms (Wikipedia)
  • Random variations that emerge at birth but do not reflect genetic variation, like different monsters in a species having different patterns of spots

Environmental

  • 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 (io9; Wikipedia)

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 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

Other

  • Fusions
  • Permanent or indefinite magical or scientific transformations
  • Morphing is a form of change
  • Changes that occur through maturation, like growing more tails, growing larger, more monsters joining a swarm
