Orki Nose Guide
Hello there! You must have noticed by now one of the most striking features of Orkis: Their gem noses!
There’s a lot we still don’t know about them and their mysterious origin… but this guide is here to help you in getting to know these special crystals.
It is believed Orki’s noses first started appearing back when they were only aquatic, similar to how crustaceans such as snails develop their shells.
As the magic within Orki folk started to intensify, it merged with every single bit that makes an orki, an orki, condensed magic leaked and crystalized, and those bits, over time, focused around the nose and belly of the orki.
Since those parts are the most sensitive and easy to harm, it is speculated that natural selection favored orkis whose crystals managed to collect there. Meaning that these are not simply decorations but also help Orkis control their magic and prevent it from leaking, they're a way for Orki to nourish their children with magic.

Here are some basic rules on the different kinds of Orki noses!
1. They can commonly have the following shapes: Round, Oval, Heart, Nub, Checkmark, Square, and T.
2. Different Specific Seasonal Shapes can only be acquired through event items, they are the following:
3. There also Orkis who have gem beaks instead of noses, these essentially are the same and should function the same way.
4. Orki noses in general are rounded and don't have a sharp pointy-edge;
5. Noses and beaks can’t be cracked as that’d make the orki very sick;
6. Nostrils must be covered by the gem crystal;
6. In orkis without the multicolor trait, Nose/Beaks, Belly Gems, Pawpads, and Claws must all be the same color.
