Makes you wonder when the first hair evolved…

I mean it was probably after scales, like feathers being altered scales

I recall it being said that hair evolved from primitive whiskers, not scales.

Synapsids never had scales, they had glandular skin, from the glands of which hair developed.

Hm. I wonder how did pycnofibers develop…

Pycnofibers evolved convergently with mammalian fur, developing from scales.

</div>

So I suppose if one does not have scales in their in-game organism, it will be a lot harder to develop something different than bare skin?

I think there will be a choice between glandular skin, which will allow the development of fur, mammary glands, quills and sweat glands. And scales, which will allow the development of osteoderms, pycnofibers, protofeathers and feathers.

Scales might also allow dentine scales, like in sharks. Though it’s a little non LAWK for things on land

These are fish scales and they are very different from the scales of amniotes.

</div>

So what about non LAWK combining of features within reason? Like pycnofibers also being able to be made into quills

Maybe some pycnofibers did evolve into quills, but we may be lacking fossils of animals with such forms. It could make for a good nonlawk feature for sure…

They are quite similar to hair, pycnofiber whiskers might also be possible. Milk does need glands though

Don’t bird produce something similar to milk from their throats?

I meant like true milk, that mammals have. That’s mostly a mix of regurgitated food

Hm. Well I suppose one could still get to making milk without it deriving from a skin-related organ

I don’t think it’s possible to produce sweat or sweat without external glands, and I think we should leave that to furry creatures for some balance.

Or ex-furry creatures, considering naked more rats or humans.
