Drop-tail Clowns

The Drop-tail Clowns are a species of clowns with slender, flexible tails with drops attached to the ends. Every clown's drop has unique properties based off their colour. Outside of this, they aren't much different from regular clowns, having a strong relationship with humans and being naturally helpful.

## Drops

The drops on a clown's tail vary from each clown. The chances of a clown having a certain drop at birth depend on genetics, with red drops being the most common and ice orbs being the rarest.

These drops can be removed and attached at will, leading to clowns trading their orbs with others or, sometimes selling them. Every drop has its unique properties that benefit the holder. Drop-tail clowns do not have to remove their orbs to share their unique properties. Couples intertwine their tails together to share each other's drop energies.

Here is a list of all the known drops:

### Red Drops

Red drops are a common drop within Drop-tail Clowns as a species. Red drops give the holder a huge boost in physical energy and can benefit sluggish clowns. Although these drops are common, they're often looked up to. Humans with busy or mundane schedules sometimes borrow these orbs from Drop-tails to get through a part of their day.

### Blue Drops

Blue drops are also a common drop. Blue drops have powerful energy that, when active, creates an invisible wave of energy that blasts obstacles or other clowns back. This is especially helpful in self-defense situations.

### Green Drops

Green drops are also a common drop. Green drops increase physical energy, much like red drops, but boost agility and night vision. Clowns with these drops are often known for their sneaky and suspicious behaviour, whether or not they mean it maliciously.

### Yellow Drops

Yellow drops are an uncommon drop. Yellow drops heighten basic senses and increase agility and alertness. Along with this, they can create rays of light that can potentially shatter other drops. Yellow drops are the only basic drop type that are dangerous enough to break other orbs.

### Joker Orbs

Joker orbs are known as the jack-of-all-trades within the Drop-tail Clown species. This is because a joker orb-tailed clown, with enough practice, can manifest any basic drop's ability they want. They can easily shatter other orbs. This makes them extremely dangerous.

If a joker orb's energy is shared with another clown, the secondary clown's strength is enhanced.

### Ice Orbs

Although the most dangerous drop, these are also one of the most rare drops. Ice orbs can freeze everything around them within a specific range. This range varies upon the clown and their mastery of their orb. When another's drop is frozen, it will become unusable and eventually break if not treated properly.

If an ice orb's energy is shared with another clown, the secondary clown's orb will be cased in ice. This phenomenon is known as a *dual orb* and cannot be reverted, even with treatment.

### Dual Orbs

These are significantly more rare than ice orbs as they cannot be created genetically. Dual orbs only form when an ice orb clown has a strong enough bond with another clown, in which they intertwine their tails and the secondary clown's tail is encased within ice.
