- Group Info
- Tokotas
- Activities
Below is our best attempt at explaining what tokotas are and what awesomeness you can get up to with them! Tokotas is a large and active group with lots to do, so we recommend you read this journal in chunks rather than trying to get through it all at once for best results.
First of all, what are these things?
Tokotas are giant mammals similar to bear-dog hybrids. They're rideable and come in lots of different shapes and colors. They can be used for in-game events like activities, breeding, and shows, or kept as a personal OC, or both!
Tokotas are not free to create; you must purchase, win, breed, or be gifted one in-game.
Our number one priority is to make Tokotas as inclusive as possible, as well as being fun for all members! There are ZERO minimum activity rules (you will not be kicked out for being inactive), ZERO reference rules, and ZERO reclaim rules and everyone is allowed to join and participate - no matter your language, age, or artistic / writing level! To officially join the group, you will need to have been a member of dA for at least one full month, and have some art or literature uploaded in your gallery. You can still get your first Tokota without becoming a member, and you do not need a Tokota in order to join!
To go into more detail on what tokotas are, check out the Species Information journal, otherwise read on to learn how to get one!
How do I get one?
There are lots of ways to get a Tokota! You can claim one for free as a brand new member at the Adoption Center , or trade with other members using art, DeviantArt points, USD, or other currencies!
Remember that Tokotas are NOT free to create and you must get an official tokota from the group or a member, not make one yourself.
Ways to get a tokota
- Adoption Center - The easiest way to get a Tokota as a new member is through the Adoption Center ! Here you can place a claim on an un-designed tokota and, if you win it, design it to your liking and get it accepted into the group. It's completely free to anyone who doesn't own anything tokotas related, but the whole process can take several weeks.
- Purchase From Member - If you're interested in a faster turnaround you can purchase tokotas directly from other members. This can take one of two forms:
- You can purchase an already-uploaded tokota (you can always change its personality and name to suit your tastes)
- You can purchase an undesigned tokota genotype (like a blueprint for what it will look like) You can find other members selling tokotas in the advertisements folder . There are lots of uploaded tokotas and genotypes available for any currency, and occasionally some are even offered for free to newbies!
- Taming - If you're feeling adventurous you can attempt to tame a wild tokota ! These are released infrequently and lots of members will also be trying to tame them, making it difficult to win, but the tokotas up for taming are generally rarer / more desirable.
- Semi-Custom - Sometimes Tokotas admins will sell semi-customs, allowing you to purchase a custom tokota made to your specifications (within limits). These are not set to any specific release schedule and go quickly, but start at a base price of $10 and can be a good way to get what you want easily.
- Breeding - The most complicated method to get a tokota is through breeding, but it can allow you to try and get your dream tokota (with a little luck). To breed you must find two tokotas (one male, one female) and either buy or be gifted permission to breed them together by their owners. You submit the breeding to the group and in return you'll get a litter full of genotypes for you to keep or sell as you choose. You can learn more about the breeding process here !
Things to keep in mind
- You must have proof of ownership of a genotype in order to have a tokota uploaded by admins, so make sure you hold onto the link that leads to the breeding comment of the genotype!
- It's common practice to complete the Rites of Fertility to earn a tokota's Arms of Akna award (sometimes called AoAs) in return for a slot, but otherwise be sure not to buy slots to a tokota without its AoAs, as this is against group rules.
- Consider taking screenshots after making a deal, sending payment, etc. This will help the group sort the situation out more efficiently if a complication arises!
So what is a genotype?
Your tokota's genotype is the recipe for what it will look like! The particular order of letters tells you what genes the tokota has, and by layering these markings on top of each other you'll end up with a lovely tokota.
To get an idea of what a geno might look like, you can paste the phenotype into the TotemSpirit gallery , where all tokotas are uploaded to. This will bring up examples of how other members have designed similar genos.
For additional genetic resources, try the following links:
- Breeding and Genotypes Guide - Explains genotypes and how to breed for a specific coat or marking.
- Genetics, Mutations, and Reproduction - Explains all the Tokota markings, mane types, and more.
- Design Den Hub - Breaks down the specifics of each marking.
Okay, I've bought a genotype. What now?
If you have an official genotype, the next step is to design it and have it uploaded by admins to the import account, TotemSpirit . Keep in mind that you may not breed or use your Tokota in the group until it is posted by TotemSpirit . Additionally you are not permitted to upload the design to your gallery - if you do you will be required to take it down.
- If you have purchased a genotype and wish to design it yourself, click here to find out how to design your Tokota.
- If you wish to have one of our official Design Den designers design it for you, click here . This is free but may not always be open!
- If Design Den is closed and/or you would like to have another member design it, you are welcome to use the advertisements folder to look for people offering or to ask! Prices differ depending on the artist.
What can I do once my tokota is uploaded?
Congratulations! If you've made it this far, you're now an official tokota owner!
If you're interested in chatting with other members and possibly expanding your pack, you may want to check out the Tokotas skype chat ! Everyone is welcome!
You can also develop an optional handler/rider .
If you have just bought a designed Tokota and would like to change their name, personality, or health status, go to Import & Ownership Changes !
About the Group
There are lots of aspects to the group beyond just owning a tokota.
General Group Information
Group Rules In order to maintain a safe and drama-free environment, the group must operate on a number of rules that are absolutely necessary for you to read before participating. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with them!
Choose a faction! There are currently six factions that exist in the Tokota community, Pack Leaders, Β Prestige Breeders, Lore Keepers, Knowledge Seekers, Wilderness Trackers and Token Brokers. You are not required to pick a faction, but each one has benefits that may help you immensely in the game.
Join a tribe! A tribe is a user-run group, similar to a guild, which has unique themes and goals. It is a great way to make friends within the community! If none of the current tribes strike your fancy, don't worry - anyone is allowed to form their own tribe, as long as tribe formation is listed as open on the front page of the Tokotas group.
Who can I talk to if I'm having problems with someone/something?The group is big and it may look a bit intimidating, but the admins are here to make sure you are satisfied and have an approachable place to go if problems arise. Please send a note to the group and we will respond ASAP! If you are having a problem with an admin, please feel free to send a note directly to Barking-Birds or NorthPaws . All complaints will remain 100% anonymous.

Tokotas has a companion website called Tokotna.com which allows you to store all your items in your bank account, transfer and trade items with other members, view and edit details of your tokotas, craft items and much more. All of these cool features on tokotna allow for instant tokota and item transfers, instant crafting and instant purchases. The Tokotas in-game currency is called "Toko Tokens" or "TT". These can be redeemed for many cool and beneficial items featured in our in-game store The Trading Post which is located on the Tokotna website. Toko Tokens can be earned mainly from redeeming the prey and items gained via activities at the TT Bank. To get started with your own Tokotna account head on over to the Account Management journal and follow the instructions on that journal and the Tokotna.com registration page.
The Hierarchy System The hierarchy system is one of the most important parts of the Tokota ARPG. Every time you draw or write about your tokota you are earning them "hierarchy points" - better known as HP. As your tokota earns more points you will be able to advance them to new statuses, each of which comes with benefits to breeding and more!
No-deadline art/literature activities Tokotas can participate in many ongoing activities, including fishing, hunting, exploring and caving. There is no deadline and these activities will earn your tokota items they can redeem for TT at the bank, as well as crafting items, companions, and more!
Crafting Crafting allows you to create new items out of items found while exploring!
Continuous Events You can enter your tokotas in these events at any time for a chance at great prizes! Additionally there are often lots of member run contests advertised through the group.

What was the inspiration behind the name Tokota/Tokotas and is it made up or like a combination of things put into one? ^^

I've just gotten a Tokota genotype and will be going about designing it soon, but, I don't know what breed it is, nor how I determine that! How does one determine the breed/build?
π: 0 β©: 1
It will state in the geno itself. If it says 'Dwarfism' then it's a Toki. If it says xx% Dire, then it's a dire or, Akota, if it's an Akota. If it doesn't say any of these things, then it's a standard TokotaΒ

Hello!
I'm really sorry if I'm making questions already stated everywhere. The "thing" is I've wanted a Tokota for aboutr three or four years as for now, and now that I'm able to get three I'm scared of the responsbility hahah.
Is there anyone here that I could note to make a few questions? Already stated around but for some reason I just want to make sure I'm reading right heh.
Thanks!

Hello! I'm new here so I have some questions
A member has gift me a tokota (proof , Change request ) but how much does the ownership transfer work?
Also I have made a HP Tracker: Ma'at HP Tracker
But do I need to add anything on that tracker? Should I made one for player as other ARPGs?
I have also made the Website profile
How I should begin? ^^"
π: 0 β©: 1
It will be transferred over once an admin has been able to go through the transfers thread. You dont need to do anything. ^^Β
Your tracker looks good! You do need to show a breakdown of how each image got the HP though. good examples to follow are shown in this journal ^^Β
Hierarchy SystemA tokota's hierarchy status is a symbolic measure of its experience and influence, shown in its visible confidence and body posture. Some tokotas will stay at the hierarchy status they were born into, but many - with or without help from their handler - will be able to rise through the ranks and claim the boons of a higher status.
The hierarchy system is used to level up your tokota through drawing or writing about them. As they accumulate points your tokotas will rise through the hierarchy, eventually reaching Alpha status.

Hierarchy Milestones
When you believe your Tokota has enough HP to advance to the next hierarchy status, please proceed to the Hierarchy Updates journal!

Oh, understood, but Is ok that way too, isn't it?
I'm tend to track more things that I should on the ARPGs, because I'm very perfectionist haha xD
I'm waiting to the trasferrals then, so hyped to start on this Toko-world <3
π: 0 β©: 1
the break down is needed incase there happens to be any mistakes or confusions in the totals or when adding up all the bonuses. its to help facilitate the process and they don't need to click everywhere to whats going on.
an example would be the numbers in your journal aren't adding up. but the breakdown in the image and the total at the top is right.Β
its also stated in the journal the break down is needed.Β
- A link or thumbnail of each image or literature submission featuring your tokota
- Beside/below each link/thumbnail needs to be a breakdown of the piece's total worth and how you reached that total.Β
- You must either clearly write the name of each bonus out in full, or use the standard abbreviations as provided by the HP calculator, for example; 5(FB C/S+BG) +2(explore) +4(non-com) +2(handler)
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahhh, okay
I didnt understand that, by english is a bit bad... (I'm spanish native speaker)
I would add the bonus and that down the thumb then ...
I think now it's better? ^^

I was kind of disappointed when I read it's not free but this species is so creative and unique in every way it's worth the money. And I'm glad I have stumbled upon this species because it gives me something to look forward to which rarely happens for me. I think I might have trouble with the rules and stuff but I promise to try my best. This is now my favorite species.

If you are looking for a free first geno, please check out the Adoption Center where you can adopt a cute tokota for no charge c:
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sorry if I'm asking this at the wrong place, my tokota hasn't been approved or commented yet and it's been 3 weeks now. It said that a new recruit were to look at it, but nothing more has happened, not to all the others that have submitted their upload at 'new members' either
π: 0 β©: 1
We are getting to your designs as fast as we can. We appreciate your patience c:
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you for your reply! I just got the design commented today
π: 0 β©: 0
How long does it usually take to get a Tokota from the adoption center?
π: 0 β©: 1
It took mine about 2 weeks then you have to get the design approved and that takes another week or so. Hope this helps!

I'm still ever so confused even though I've still passed a request to adopt a Toko, but, is it possible to design the coat colours once the adoption of a Toko is approved?
π: 0 β©: 1
(I'm new myself but feel like I can answer your question. 
You may either design the coat yourself (Click Here ) or request that someone design it for you (Click Here ). The phenotype of your Tokota cannot be changed. If it is born a Tawny, it will stay a Tawny. There are options to choose a variant of that (Here ) but that it has to be a variant of the original colour in the phenotype.
If you choose to design it yourself there are specific guidelines that you must follow in addition to getting the design approved. You must also have some way to edit Photoshop documents, or a .psd file in order to design a Tokota.
If you want someone else to design it, submit a request by filling out the required form (here ). This gives you the ability to say what you wouldΒ specifically like if the designer is able to accomodate that request. The Design Den is currently OPEN.
If the design den IS CLOSED before you are able to submit your request, you can put out an advertisement (here ) asking someone to design it for you.
Hope that helps! Β

I recently joined this group and created an account specifically for my digital paintings this week(this account) but have been on deviantart for over a year and some months now(proof can be provided). In order for me to adopt a tokota, one of the requirements is that i must have my account active for at least a month. Sense i created this account only recently, it has created an issue with me having the ability to adopt or tame a Tokota.Β
I attempted taming a tokota but i was not able to tame her and someone else won her. I am not able to afford one with real money and therefore rely on adoptions. I am currently on a 2 week break from school so now would be the best time to adopt one of these animals so i could work on art while i have my time off. Sense i have been on DA for over a year and some months (and can provide proof...orig account is SeaHeartStables), is there anyway i can adopt a tokota now instead of waiting a month? Thank you!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hi! If you can provide proof that the older account is yours (a comment from the account or a screenshot of you logged into it should work) that would be accepted by the adoption center!
However, the process of adopting, designing, and getting an official tokota import uploaded typically takes a few weeks to complete. If you have some spare time now and want to try out doing some art for the group, you may alternatively want to explore the advertisements folders for other users selling tokotas, as many people will accept art in exchange for tokotas
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! And i will do that! I will make sure to provide proof of my SeaHeartStables account via a comment below this.

This is Daranyxx, i am on my SeaHeartStables account to confirm that i have had an active account on DA for more than a year

I used to have an account on here with a tokota I adopted; that account has since been deleted. can i transfer my tokota to the account I use now, or will I have to start over?
π: 0 β©: 0
How do I move all my tokota things to a side account? Do I just transfer all tokotas over, make all my tracker journals there and start uploading art/rolls/etc there instead? I want all to do with my tokotas to be completely separate from my main account and continue using them on a side one. Any help would be appreciated!
π: 0 β©: 1
You could either transfer everything completey, or just add your side account as a side on the companion site, which would allow you to use your bank account/tokotas from either your main or your side at any time.
π: 0 β©: 1
Just curious what's a roll? Is it just like art?
π: 0 β©: 1
A roll refers to an Activity Roll (also known as an AR). It's a piece of art that depicts your Tokota hunting/fishing or any other activity listed in the activities journal
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahh ok! So it's basically like a portrait of your oc doing something?
π: 0 β©: 1
Kinda, though they need to be fullbody rather than portraits
