Traits are a type of Mutation, but instead of being cosmetic, they affect a creature’s stats. Such stat modifiers can be seen in the Main Menu and the in-world Creature Stats window, as well as a boost with its specific multiplier in the creature's stat list HUD. Stat-affecting mutations were present in Legacy, but were not present in Recode up until the update on January 12th, 2024.
Traits are permanent stat-modifying effects that have a chance of being applied to creatures under certain circumstances. All traits can be gained either by hatching in another player's nest and are applied to a creature the moment they spawn in, or by growing, with a chance to occur during certain growth milestones. Like with cosmetic mutations, a message will pop-up to inform when a creature has gained a particular trait, with the title color being unique to the type of trait. Creatures can not receive mutations from growing if a Token is used to skip the growth milestones.
Just like with cosmetic mutations, a single creature can receive more than one trait during their lifetime. It is not yet confirmed if there's a maximum cap on the amount of traits a creature can get, but it seems the cap at this moment is 2 traits at a time.

== Trivia ==
* There's a known bug when sometimes a creature needs to menu to see the trait on the boost list. This usually happens when the trait is gained at age 100 and the user chose not to Elder.
