Appearance
Costume Brief
Requirements
Skala are scaly, which may be represented with a mask or with makeup – as long as your face is at least half covered, you’re good to go.
Avoid
Do not use solid brown or black scales or base colours; these colours can only be used as part of patterns. Avoid making any horns or claws too big, these are intended to be similar to lizards like the bearded dragon and horny devil, and not like a dragon.
Additions
• Horns or crests on the head or limbs, which can be glued on as prosthetics, integrated into kit, or worn as a headband or on hair clips.
• Short claws on your hands, akin to pointed nails.
• Scaled frills.
• Eye colour to match other features, as well as cat-like slit eyes.
• Any additional features are generally a similar colour to the scales, in different hues.
Variant: Tailed Skala
Some skala have tails, which must be recognisably scaly and reptilian – a fat gecko tail is fine, as is the long tapering tail of an iguana. Be mindful of others (and your own turning radius) if you do decide to wear a tail! There is no gameplay difference between tailed and tailless skala, and tails are treated as traumatic to lose but regrowable over time.
