I love exploring the fest zones, but one of the frustrating things, for me at least, is that there are often a ton of pretty wild pets, but even if they have visible traits, they generally aren't considered worth it to catch.

So, I started thinking about fest exclusive traits, sort of on the order of Spring blossoms (think that is the one that only comes out during Spring?). These, however, would be like the LG restricted traits and wouldn't have a disruptor or whatever to put them on other pets. Instead they would use the same extraction method LG restricted traits will use.

These would be the same traits for all festivals, so there wouldn't need to be four sets of traits for each pet (one for each fest). These would also be fairly simple traits, potentially only drawing from one or two colors, and probably being gene traits only (since mutations, I would think, take longer to draw than genes, though simple mutations wouldn't be out of the question)

For some examples of traits I mean:

Qitari: I have two potential traits. The first is a snowflake leopard appaloosa trait. Basically just small spots scattered around the body with a slight gradient to help it blend into the body color better. The second is a bay pattern. I know we have socks, but this would cover the feet and up to and potentially past, the knees, and it would also cover the muzzle of the qit. This would draw from the mane color and again have a slight gradient to help it blend. (yes, I realized that genes have their own color, but for Bay, specifically, the feet/nose should match the mane/tail color.)

Ny'vene: A filligree for wings. Simple tracery along the edges of the wings with simple loops and swirls.

Morkko: Sunbear (think this is the name, been a while). A simple 'swoosh' on the chest of the morks.

Faelora: Sorry if they already have this, they are not my favorite species, so I haven't looked at their traits. Fawn. Pretty much self explanatory. Fawn markings for adults. No gradient (the fawn markings tend to be very vivid against the background color)

The rest of the species would get markings on this order. Again, these would be the same markings for all four festivals.

For their rarity, I don't think they should be as rare or as difficult to obtain as LG Exclusive, but maybe aim for something like the average player will see 2 with visible traits (and probably a lot more with carried traits) per fest.

I just would like something where, when I see a regular pet, I don't go 'oh pretty, but time to die' or lament that it is a regular pet and not a themed (okay, that will probably happen anyway :P)
