Description
UPDATE: Subspecies rarities have been updated, the new rarities are listed below:
Common - Mammal
Uncommon - Avian and Reptile (Reptile was previously rare)
Rare - Human and Dragon (both were previously super-rare)
Super-Rare - Hybrid
Finally, here's the species guide to my primary original species, spectrels! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or comments <3
By the way, the spectrel featured here is Spectre, he's the mascot of the group I've been planning.
Here is the guide that specifically details spectra and spectra related traits!:
And here is some species lore:

This is a place to visit to learn more about spectrels and their world. In the future we'd like to have a website to contain this information along with more details and illustrations, but for now you can peruse all of the information below! More information may be added or edited over time. Feel free to comment with any questions, concerns, or needs for clarification!
Spectrels
Spectrels are an enigmatic, humanoid species with ghostly arms and amazing powers called spectra. Originating from a dimension known as the Hollow, spectrels live alongside many amazing and supernatural creatures.
Five basic subspecies of spectrels exist: mammals, avians, reptiles, dragons, and humans. Each of these subspecies can also interbreed, creating many different hybrid varieties. Within each subspecies there is a great deal of visual diversity, so spe
SPECTRELS ARE A CLOSED SPECIES

So basically
if i wanted an avian spectral with wings capable of flight
I would need an avian/dragon hybrid just for the wings ?
just asking to be sure
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you want physical wings on their back, then yes, avian/dragon hybrid would be necessary! If you are okay with just wing-shaped spectra arms with a spectra power that allows them to fly, then just avian subspecies is sufficient.

Tysm! and can the dragon subspecies also have antler-like horns?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do human Spectrels need to have natural skin tones or can they have like... Blue skin, for an example? :3C
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Any natural or non natural skin tone for human Subspecies spectrels is fine!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yes! Clothing and accessories are totally fine.

Question... can robotic species such as synths be spectras?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Are synths another closed species? If so, there aren't any official crossover/crossbreeds with spectrels+another species. Spectrels themselves are biological creatures, although it is possible for some spectra types to mimic mechanical/robotic parts. Spectrels can also have prosthetics or body modifications using robotics, if the owner wishes.

No, synths are open

Ah, I should have said original species rather than closed XD

Despite being closed, there are many ways to get a MYO slot for your own spectrel without buying one! There's a guide here with more info:
GUIDE: How to Get Your Own SpectrelHOW TO GET A SPECTREL?
So you're interested in having a spectrel of your very own? Wonderful!
Everyone is welcome to be a part of our community regardless of whether they own a spectrel or not, but this is a guide for those interested in obtaining one!
- Follow AshenSpectre or Spectrel-Hollow, and keep an eye out for Flat-Sales and Auctions! Check this folder for any spectrels that are currently for sale!
- Purchase a MYO (Make-Your-Own) slot or Custom design! With a MYO slot you are able to design your own spectrel, and through a custom AshenSpectre will design one for you! Both MYO slots and customs are available occasionally, make sure to watch AshenSpectre for updates.

Fully aquatic mammal spectrels are not something that exists as of right now, sorry!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
How about Aquatic species (koi fish, sharks, jellyfish, etc) and Insect species (praying mantis, beetles, ladybugs, etc)? Would they count as Hybrid? I know there was a previous question on this but it was last year so that answer may have changed owo
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Unfortunately the answer is still the same, aquatic and insect creature features may still only be incorporated through spectra types!

All good~! Thanks for letting me know! Hopefully I'll have time to enter the contest OwO;;;
I love designing and experimenting with species so I think it's awesome that almost all traits are available, it gives me plenty of options to experiment with ^^

Awesome, I hope you have time, I'd love to see your entry!

Thank you very much~! I'll try my best despite my super busy schedule! owo

If mammals are common, would a bat still fall within "common", being a mammal, or would it fall within "uncommon", being winged?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A bat spectrel would still be common! They wouldn't have wings on their back though. As a child, a bat spectrel would have winglike arms not capable of flight, and the spectra arms of many bat spectrels resemble these winglike arms such as this one:

There are plenty of ways to obtain a spectrel in the group!
There's monthly Draw-to-adopt contests and raffles, MYO slots given away to prompt participants, and many ways to earn group currency that can be used to purchase slots as well.

I have a question...are there average heights set out for the species?
I'd like to know so that I can have them right when they're drawn in comparison to my other characters that have set heights and aren't wibbly wobbly in that department XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The general average heights are 3 to 8 feet tall, you can kind of think of the real life animal a spectrel is based on to estimate it's height. For example, a spectrel based on a sparrow would probably be on the smaller side, but a tiger based one would be very large. Dragons can have a lot of variation, but essentially it's up to you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok~!
LOL I actually guessed 7-9 feet tall for dragons cuz I used a 6 foot human as reference XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
May I suggest an insectoid subspecies? I think that would look cool!
A firefly with glowing spectra especially would be amazing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There probably won't ever be a fully-insectoid subspecies, but I do have something in mind for the future that I can't really say any more about yet!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, but now I'm excited to know about it! OwO

Question: can Spectrels have elemental powers? (Like control over water)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, they can!

Yusss
Thanks so much!

i know they're humanoid species primarily, but say in the instance that their spectra was wings, like a wyvern based, would such an instance be alright ? like being able to be on all fours and such, just asking for the myo contest, and i had a rlly neat idea and it involved that ;;w;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can't say much, but feral/four legged spectrels involve a legendary trait that hasn't been revealed yet! I hope you understand ;w;

Of course! I understand completely ~

Are aquatic subspecies and scorpion-like subspecies allowed? Can you combine more than two subspecies in a hybrid?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Only semi-aquatic mammals are allowed (so otters are acceptable but dolphins are not), or amphibians which, for the purposes of the spectrels, are included in the reptile subspecies. If you'd like to give your spectrel aquatic or insect like features, you can do so with Spectra types! (Such as making a tail Spectra resemble a fish or scorpion tail)
And yes, more than two subspecies can be combined in a hybrid!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aw crap, i already drew the tail RIP
and im pretty sure the Double Spectra trait is only two different types, right?
