this one's mostly me being fixated and coming up with ideas abt generational changes in ghouls (you'll see)
- there are a lot of differences between Pit-born Ghouls and Topside-born Ghouls
- Pit-borns are significantly bigger, capable of hitting up to 8 feet tall
- their horns tend to grow to be thicker/longer/curlier and the shapes differ between elements
- sometimes their fingers/tails are tinted a different color than the rest of their bodies, also corresponding with their elements (earth ghouls tend to have brown/black coloring, water ghouls have navy, air ghouls have white/light blue, etc.)
- Pit-borns have varying levels of fur, often on different parts of their body. it tends to be clustered at pulse points on those with light amounts of fur, like around the neck, around the wrists and up the underside of the arm.
- Topside-borns get smaller and more human-like with each generation
- The Ministry actually spends a good amount on Ghoul breeding, aiming to try and make Ghouls palatable to the more skittish Siblings of Sin
- Ministry-bred Ghouls wind up either fully furry or bare skin with an even skin tone
- Topside-born Ghouls might start growing larger horns, but they'll eventually break off, replacing with the little devil-like horns like the ones on the Copia-era Ghouls's helmets
- Topside vs. Pit-born doesn't affect certain things like iris color/shape variations, markings like birthmarks or freckles, or hair color and texture
- they also have temperment differences, as Pit-born Ghouls are often more aggressive due to being used to the dark chaos of the Pit
- Pit-born Ghouls have been noted as having superiority complexes over their younger Topside-born relatives, often calling them "soft" or "disgraceful"
