A random and very weird trait question!

I was wondering about eyestalks, and the trait for them. They are apart of the head region of the wyrm and are in the place where some wyrms have horns.

Would the eyestalk trait be considered a type or horn or not?
More importantly, would using a horny token on a wyrm pairing that included a wyrm with horns and a wyrm with eyestalks effect the eyestalks and horns?

I tried to make it as clear as possible! If it is still a little confusing I'll try to explain what I mean in a different way

I read this, laughed, and told sciggles Year and GT are at it again. ;3

Sciggles is going to attempt a nudi x something hybrid for furpoc to see how much of a PiTA it would be. Her comment to me was that it would probably be like Squeakers, where the eyestalks would have to be smaller and stubby and the horns would have to be smaller as well. Otherwise it compromises the clay stability and durability. And makes breakage on an already delicate crossbreed even worse.

So I guess the answer is tentatively yes? Pending seeing if sciggles throws clay at me and runs screaming or not?
As a caution, I'm going to make an executive call that it will depend on the horn type as well. Bigger horns require me making special small versions, like on the sqeakers, which causes a traffic jam while sciggles waits for me to have a day free to dedicate to doing JUST horns. (IE we are more inclined to say yes to horns that are NOT fu or mossie or strike)

Yup!! Kai is right! i was wondering for the snoothorn project.
I was wondering because we are dealing with a very limited genetic pool with the Strikehorns and we don't want to inbreed in the line, so we want to try and pull as many traits through as we possibly can in our second generation and leave little to chance xD
