The ~Fluffy Bento Tail~ is a replica of the Blue Galaxy Solarian Tail made by Ash Soyinka utilizing the new Bento tail bones.
It has both versions to attach to any avatar as well as a complete Solarian replacement version(This will fix the groin deforming and attachment point issues)!
It uses the same UV space as the original, so any textures that worked on the Solarian tail will also work on this one!
The latest update also includes the Animesh version which you can attach to any point on your body and move for perfect adjustment.

Changelog:
Version 2.0 ( Released 18th December, 2018 )
-> Completely overhauled the textures, added a ton of textures!
-> Added Animesh versions
Version 1.5 ( Released 13th September, 2017 )
Huge overhaul of all my bento tail. Now uses deformers for both easy tail positioning and length changing!
Version 1.4 ( Released 06th of July, 2017)
-> Improved all tails visually (better rigging, UV mapping)
Version 1.3 ( Released 23rd of June 2017 )
-> Improved Animation HUD behaviour to respect awful Second Life programming
(Other people are less likely seeing your tail play no animation now when they started seeing you after you already started an animation)
Version 1.2 ( Released 17th May 2017 )
-> Visually improved every tail. The HUGE versions look a lot better in particular!
-> Added a script to fix the alpha blending modes if they mess up when you change textures
-> Added two deformers to increase the size of the tail!
Version 1.1 ( Released 29th April 2017 )
-> Added 3 displacers. Use these to move the base out of the tail further back. As an example, you need to use this on smaller Solarian shapes to have it look properly. Second Life tailbones are messed up, is anyone surprised?
-> Added 2 huge versions
-> Improved UV's

Great customer support
I had a problem with the tail, the creator was eager to help. The tail looks good now, and works great, the animations are good too.
I bought this purely to remove deforming
It does what it says on the box, but for low priority animations (such as the default SL AO) to not have the issue where pelvis is frozen in place and your legs move all over the place, you have to turn off the script in the head of the solarian. This will cause your facial expressions and ears to stop completely.
This is an issue caused by the built in facial animations taking high priority of the pelvis. It is NOT the fault of the creator of this product, but something customers might want to consider before buying it.

I love this tail so very much! CSR is A+.
Animations are smooth, you can choose speeds, heights, and wraps. Even some silly animations as well. Beautiful and simple HUD design as well.
Sweet Thing's bento tail small deformer recommended from me to make the tail longer.
Great!
This is an awesome tail, I love the ability to wrap it around your avi. The only downside is the lack of a texture hud making it cumbersome to change textures. That said the creator is very helpful and it's only a little effort on your part to change over textures. 5/5
Excellent
Runs buttery smooth and is especially appealing.
Things to note:
Make sure to not wear the tail when changing texture.
If you borked up the texture, likely the alpha masking; mask cutoff got set to 0. Set it back to 128.
Also great help from the creator.
