Niantic’s latest augmented reality title Peridot has some interesting features to learn about, and of those is the Traits. While your dots grow, these traits can change anytime, even depending upon the level of the keeper. So, it is needful to understand the Traits your Dot can have, along with the categories and special features, if any. So, in the guide, we shall look into the same in detail.
Understanding the Dot traits
In Peridot, traits are implemented for the Dots to understand and differentiate among themselves. Peridots possess distinct physical characteristics that are defined by various Traits corresponding to their unique traits. Each Dot is unique and will have their own unique Trait, which the keepers can find by comparison.

The traits get unlocked when the player progresses with their Keeper level. While using the Hatch-a-Dot feature, players can also control the traits of their dots that are next to be hatched. The traits are categorized into 7 distinct categories namely: Pattern, Tail, Horns, Plumage, Material, Face, and Ears.
