Description [UPDATE 3/27/17] 
The Faide is officially a fully open species! So go on, make a free myo, make some breedables, heck, even pop out some adopts!
But overall, have fun! 
Please be sure to note or comment me for approval on any myo or adopt set, just so I can make sure they're still within species guidelines, and don't forget to check out the trait sheet for help with making your Faide!

A free base can also be located here: 

<- Group for the species

The updated sheet for my species Dukampos..now renamed the Faide! Should have all the basic information on here for now. I'll add additional lore and such later when I have the time, along with a list of some of the more commonly seen traits!

"Faide" is pronounced like "Fi-dee", it rhymes with "Heidi"! The name comes from the combination of "fairy" and "deer", and body-wise, they're a lot like deer or goats with a hint of seahorse.

In terms of anatomy, the body has an exaggerated 'peanut' shape, with an enlarged rib cage and slits along the sides for air intake. Faide actually able to make sounds by rushing air through these vents on their sides and necks, though primarily language is spoken with the mouth. For the most part, Faide have hardened chitin-like hooves which can either be flat or pointed into claws, only in rare occurrences do they have actual "paws" after the first week of hatching.

Faide hatch as a generic gray creature with paws, small ears, and a small tail, but nothing else. They still have the holes on their necks and sides to enable breathing, but no pouch is formed until they eat. After they begin to eat their chosen food source, the pouches on their necks rapidly begin growing and the markings and colorations begin to appear as well. Their paws also harden into hooves and their ears elongate over the next few months, and at about a year or two, they are like a miniature version of an adult Faide.

The Faide grow to be between 4 and 5 feet tall at the withers, though some that are more malnourished may only grow to be 2 or 3 feet tall. Personalities vary greatly from Faide to Faide and what's true for one individual may not be true for another as they are fully sentient beings. Some Faide are able to morph themselves temporarily into an anthro and even humanoid form, though this is difficult for them and uses a lot of magic. On occasion they may shift to a humanoid form to blend in with human societies, though they are always easily identifiable by the holes in their necks with which they breathe. 


Faide also live in small homes called Glens! This glen is made out of whatever materials are nearest, so a cave is just as likely as a burrow or a leafy little home where they sleep and collect their items. Faide often enjoy socializing in these Glens and there are often various public glens available in communities for traveling Faide or new members to the community.

As Faide grow older, they are also able to shift into a variety of forms, but traditionally, they tend to remain in either a feral, anthro, or humanoid form! Faide who have lived for a particularly long time or have an excess of magic are optimally able to shift into an almost entirely human form, the only differences generally being the vent holes around the neck, which they must keep in order to breathe, feral form or not!

So happy these little dudes are open now! Question: by design they seem to be primarily land animals, is there any way the holes would obstruct or aid underwater breathing? Not that one would be living underwater at all times, but like, if it's diet consisted of, say, mainly fish, and it had to dive at times to get some.

Yoo yeah I don't think that would be an issue? We've had a few people make underwater Faide before and I mean....
...M-magic, yeah? Let's just say magic makes it OK, haha. I can imagine it would be uncomfortable for them to shoot out water from their neck and sides though >>;

Btw, I will not be drawing anthro/human ones due to having trouble with human-like anatomy.

Yoo that's totally fine! The shapeshifting is def not required, it's each Faide's personal choice ;v Each individual feels most comfortable in a particular form, so for yours, maybe it's the feral form? Who knows!

I think its cool that their generic right when their born. When you say genetic basis, do you mean, like, what their parents ate, or what's around them?


((they're so cooooot i dont have the ability to can right nowwww))

CannibalHarpy In reply to kiwi-abc [2015-12-10 05:22:00 +0000 UTC]

Ayy thank you! C; Yeah, for the most part, if like, a parent ate, say, seashells, then the baby would most likely want to eat seashells as well. Of course, if there aren't any seashells around to eat when they hatch, they have to make do with something else. Most of the genetic basis is just like, an instinct to know that "Yes, I can eat this" as opposed to "I HAVE to eat this" so there are quite a few exceptions. 

(eee thank you! ;;; I'm really proud of them omgg  I'm working on the group right now, I'm so excited :,) )

Omg, I love these! If you for some reason ever would open MYOs or customs for these, I  
probably try to get one for myself~ You can ignore this, I missed that I could note you if I want a custom or myo


(I've also been considering adopting the Golden yolk one from
your adopt sheet, but I'm not sure yet)

I have a feeling Jelly will be becoming a different species, most likely a Pterokami, but maybe a Toxeptile because, well, I haven't made myself a Toxeptile OC... I mean there's only 3 in existence ATM, and, Toxeptiles are actually a bit closer to Dukamos I think... But I think Marie may end up better for this XD

I kinda want to update the two beans though, I mean, maybe if I make them two creatures, instead of a two headed creature, I'll use them more, and if I make Jelly into a Toxeptile, I also have a Toxeptile character of my own XD
