Welcome to the Puppypillar and snailkitten Tutorial
what is a puppypillar?
Puppypillars are a subtype of our main species, Puppillars, and are "baby" versions of Puppillars. Their appearance differs from fully grown Puppillars and they have more limited and different traits. Puppypillars are fully-fledged characters as-is, but can also "grow up" into Puppillars if/when their owner decides to do so! For more general informaton about Puppypillars, see our Puppypillar Species Guide.
What is a snailkitten?
Snailkittens are a subtype of our secondary species, Snailkittens! They are baby versions of snailkittens, and differ in appearance from their adult versions, namely in the fact that snailkittens don't have a shell. Snailcats are also fully-fledged characters with masterlist entries, but they can also "grow up" into snailcats if/when thier owner decides to do so. For more general information about snailkittens, see our Snailkitten Species Guide.
How do I obtain a puppyPillar or snailkitten?
There are a few different ways to obtain a Puppypillars/Snailkittens:
- Standard Breeding: Commissioning a staff artist to create a Puppypillar/snailkittens (or up to two of whichever) based on two "parents"
- Raffle Breeding: We will occasionally host free to enter raffles where the winner of a breeding is drawn at random. The staff artist will create a batch of Puppypillarsor Snailkittens based on two "parents". The owner(s) of the parents will get first pick from the batch, and the remainder of the batch will be raffled off
- Adoptables: Occasionally, puppypillar or snailkitten adoptables will be available for sale or raffle! These don't have any "parents" and are unique in design.
- Customs: Members can order custom Puppypillar or Snailkitten through our Artist Custom System!
- Raffles or Events: Occasionally we will offer puppypillar/snailkitten breedings or adoptables from the arpg
How do I order a Standard Breeding?
General Standard Breeding Rules
- All Standard Breedings will be based on the designs of Two "parent" characters of the same species, if you are interested in a baby based off one "parent" or more than two "parents" you may order a custom via our Artist Custom System (the price between both options is the same)!
- Parentage and which puppillars/snailcats enter a breeding together does not have to be canon to your characters, and is not reflected mechaniclly in the ARPG in any way
- All breedings require permission from the owners of both characters involved
- Puppypillar/Snailkitten ownership is determind by who pays for the breeding, in the case where there are two babies and two owners both contributing to the cost, the owners will decide between themselves who gets which character
- All Puppypillar/Snailkitten designs will be based off the parents, and will have a rarity based off the parent with the higher rarity, capped at Super Rare
- Requests for traits and/or specific design elements cannot be accomodated, due to the nature of the breeding, if you are more particular, consider a custom!
