I made them. Weird critters It’s a personal headcanon of mine that everyone in the psychonauts universe has whiskers. typically they are only about 1-2 inches long, Mostly they’re just for social reasons and communication (like. Brushing against each other . And also ways to express emotions). but psychics usually have longer whiskers because. I think its neat and also plays into that idea of a sixth sense. Uhm anyway s they can also be curly. That’s cute. Also psychics can have short whiskers and average people long its just less common,… Oh and the longer whiskers for psychics can like. Sense the air (without brushing up against surfaces like traditional whiskers) It lets them move around in the dark easier and stuff, also just a general way to help channel psychic energy. Shorter whiskers are just a bit less effective. On non-psychics the long whiskers are just the typical “brush against thing for more information”
Very thrown together. I want to elaborate more on this but i need some more time to run this idea over in my brain.! The “non psychic’s can have long whiskers too” is actually mainly here because i needed someway to plausibly give the aquatos an excuse - so that definitely needs fleshing out
