Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

couldn't a scalie character have both visible scales and shiny skin? or would that not apply?

It follows logically that if a character has shiny (glistening) skin, their skin would also fit the definition for being smooth.

It reeeeally doesn't, though. You can polish spikes and ridges until they shine.

There are separate tags for those cases, namely the glistening and glistening_body tags.

The smooth_skin tag does not imply the complete absence of scales and such, only the presence of smooth skin, so it would apply to that character.

The smooth_skin tag wiki, word for word:

Describes a character having smooth hairless skin, similar to a human or dolphin and opposed to fur, scales, or other rough texture.

I actually literally wrote that a few days ago as there was no entry prior. With that phrasing I meant to describe what smooth skin meant, not imply that a character can't also possess scales or spikes on parts of their body.

-1. Rough, wet/slimy skin can be glistening and not smooth, so this implication would mis-tag posts of such.
