Add the following text to the Rule Traits:

A Trait Group is denoted in the lists of Traits by having the text “[Group]” following its name.  Traits may be members of a Trait Group and are thus indicated by being subentries to the Trait Group’s listing.  A Trait Group’s entry may contain a Requirements field, in which case each member of that Trait Group is treated to having the Requirements of the Trait Group, in addition to their own.

Add a Trait Group called Diet, with Requirements: “Must have no more than 0 other Traits that are members of Diet.” Make the Traits Carnivore, Herbivore, and Omnivore members of Diet and replace their Requirements with “Body Mass 1”.

Add the following to the list of Inactive Traits:

===Mouths [Group]===
*’‘'Requirements’‘’: Must have no more than 0 other Traits that are members of Mouth.

====Mandibles====
*’‘'Cost’‘’: 20 DNA, 1 Complexity
*’‘'Requirements’‘’: Facial Features 1, Unique Ability 3
*’‘'Effect’‘’: The Lifeform gains +1 to Facial Features when e is the target of a Hunt.

====Maw====
*’‘'Cost’‘’: 50 DNA, 5 Complexity
*’‘'Requirements’‘’: Body Mass 4, Facial Features 2
*’‘'Effect’‘’: The Lifeform gains an extra Nourishment from a successful Feeding attempt.

====Simple Mouth====
*’‘'Cost’‘’: 40 DNA
*’‘'Requirements:’‘’: Facial Features 1
*’‘'Effect’‘’: For all purposes of the rule “Creature Complexity” treat the total Evolutionary Variables of creature with this trait as 2 points lower than it truly is, and treat the number of Traits as 3 less.

====Snout====
*’‘'Cost’‘’: 80 DNA, 4 Complexity
*’‘'Requirements’‘’: Facial Features 3
*’‘'Effect’‘’: The Lifeform gains +1 to eir Fight Phase rolls.

====Vocal Mouth====
*’‘'Cost’‘’: 60 DNA, 4 Complexity
*’‘'Requirements’‘’: Facial Features 2, Unique Ability 4
*’‘'Effect’‘’: The Lifeform gains +1 to Unique Ability when Reproducing.

In the List of Active Traits:
Create an Trait Group called Ears, and make the following Traits members of the Trait Group: Sensitive Ears, Flashy Ears, Directional Ears, Simple Ears.

Create a Trait Group called Eyes, and make the following Traits members of the Trait Group: Telescopic Eyes, Multi-Faceted Eyes, Protruding Eyes, Simple Eyes.
