Today i talked with a guild member that made herself a female charr and complained that all female charr have a white tail tip

This made me wonder, is this sexual dimorphism? Do male charr favour white tail tips like asura favour big ears and humans favour big mammalian glands? Resulting in an peakitten* like evolution with that feature?

*Edit: could a-net make an mix between Pavo muticus and a kitten for the creation of peakitten?

There is definitely sexual dimorphism between charr males and females – it’s just not as pronounced as in the other species. The big tell is indeed the tail. Charr females have fluffier tails that have long fur all the way down tail, for instance, while males only have fluffy tail tips.

I didn’t know about the whiteness on the female charr tails, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this was another feature added so players could tell an armored charr female from a male by the tail. Sexual dimorphism in fur patterning isn’t really uncommon.

(Looking through pictures, I think it’s possible all male charr have a dark colored tip of their tails, as well.)
