Cosmetics
Cosmetics are a type of equippable much like relics, however without a cooldown, and with a purely cosmetic effect. These do not affect your gameplay
There are a variety of Cosmetics, usually obtained through some sort of achievement or secret, or (in the case of Game Breaker, Game Obliterator and Artist Palette) personally given out by Colon.
Below is a list of all Cosmetics (aside from Trophies, explained below) alongside unlock methods and effects, as while most add an emoji in various places, some have additional special effects.
Note: “Comment” refers to the line of text after receiving a given animal. This can be a quote, reference, or similar. Multiple lines of comments mean that the comment for this animal is randomized.
