Natural Variations Among Dandipuffs

While the most noticable and dramatic differences between individual dandipuffs can mostly be correlated with the effects of hatching baskets, natural variation among un-tampered with dandipuffs exists. Unlike effects caused by hatching baskets and the ingredients used in them, these traits can be passed along genetically. Note: all of these traits can also be altered by certain hatching basket ingredients, and if a dandipuff has been altered through such means a proper ascessment of the creature's inheritable traits may be innacurate.

Size
Dandipuffs can naturally vary in size, and while some ingredients used on their eggs can produce a dandipuff at a size otherwise considered very rare or unheard of among natural populations, there is a relatively narrower range of size among dandipuffs left to incubate and grow naturally.

Color
While all dandipuffs are naturally white, their eye color can vary between blue and green, and their noses can vary between a paler and darker pink. Their tail flowers can be white, blue or pink.

Face
Like all creatures, dandipuffs have a natural variance amongst their facial features. Like with every aspect of the dandipuff, these features can be overwritten by the influence of ingredients used on them, but the following traits can still occur naturally, as well as be passed on to offspring.

Personality
If their personality is not changed by hatching baskets, personality resetting potions or the way they are cared for as pufflings, a dandipuff's natural personality will show and can be passed on genetically. As there are multiple factors to what type of personality a dandipuff ends up with even if left untampered with, it is difficult to determine what influence their personality will have genetically on their offspring.
