- 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.
Additional questions? Feel free to ask below in the comments!

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 !
If you happen to have a geno and you have it designed, you will need to put it into your sta.sh and link the sta.sh-file to the design center: Design Central - Apr 2018 [CLOSED]
If it is your first, you can go on the comment-link "New Member", then your design will be judged faster. Remember that you can only do that with your first tokota.
If you do have a geno, but can not design it, you can post the geno here: Design Den - March 2018 [Open] and one of our admins will design it for you.
Other than that, you are not allowed to upload the import of your tokota on dA yourself or any other website.

Hello, I'm a newbie here. I've read this a thousand times and it seems I get more confused. How would I go about getting a Tokota and having it designed for me? (Being a newbie sucks :'))
π: 0 β©: 1
Welcome! ;D I'll try my best to help ya out. <3
So your best bet will be to get a toko from the adoption center here: Adoption Center - Open . But alternatively if you want to shop around you could check out the Tokotas for Sale folder: tokotas.deviantart.com/gallery⦠.
Once you have your genotype you can post to the Design Den here: comments.deviantart.com/1/6786β¦ . Or you can find a member willing to design it for you! :>
Hopefully this helped! Let me know if you have any other questions~

Thank you very much! I appreciate your help a lot really (:
I have my geno from the adoption center already submitted for the Design Den (:

Your account must have been active for at least one month before you are eligible to adopt; active = populated with journals/deviations/comments of substance.
You may only adopt 1 geno.Make sure to include a second choice in case your first is already taken.Include the numbers (ex. TU34, BR45) in the first column with your choices.
or from another member c:
I still have some leftover genos, if you want you can take a look at them:Β Unused Genos (Tokotas)

What if you can't draw or Write very well in the hierarchy system? How do i fit in this if i join with an tokota from the adopt center?
π: 0 β©: 1
You can work things out with other people to draw or write for you
π: 0 β©: 1
How could i do this?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, you could make a journal asking for help. Also, the art and writing is not judged against anyone but yourself, so maybe give it a try even if you don't think it's as good as other people's work, because your's is the only work that counts.
π: 0 β©: 0
So I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but since we can't redraw the official lines of our Tokota, can we draw them sitting down or walking around, some thing like that, or is that not okay?
π: 0 β©: 1
You can draw (or write) your tokota doing different poses and activities, that is actually one of the ARPG's ideas :3
You can't copy or re-use the official import image lineart, but you are free to draw your tokota standing up for example.
π: 0 β©: 0
This may be a silly question and I appologize in advance for asking, but I noticed in the adoption center. The Submissive vs. Average what exactly does this mean?
π: 0 β©: 1
Submissive and Average are different Hierarchy statuses. Depending which level they are born as (sub/avg), you will need to gain different amounts of Hierarchy Points to go up in level. You can read more on that here;Β Hierarchy System Β c:

I was going to make Pack Leaders as my fraction but i can't fill out the form because it want's me to sign into google. I don't have a google account so can i just note the group about my fraction choice?
Also, do i have to join a tribe or is it just optional?
π: 0 β©: 2
Also tacking on that joining a tribe is entirely optional.

The google form is no longer in use. I'll look into getting the journals updated soon!
There was recently a news post showing how factions are now to be filled/how to add you to your chosen faction:
"
- You may now set your faction in your Tokotna.com profile! Go to your profile and click Manage Profile. If you have any changes left for this year youβll be able to change your faction and save!
- Admin willΒ onlyΒ look at the Tokotna.com Faction list and not any prior lists when rolling and processing requests. Please make sure your faction displays on your profile page correctly. And remember,Β you can only change your factionΒ once."

So... I discovered Tokotas quite a while ago now, liked the idea, and wanted to give it a try. I got a free geno to start and bought several others. But I had trouble getting a design approved for the ones I tried to use, and then my life fell apart and the computer I'd been doing this all on died. Long story short, I'm sure there are journals noting my ownership of these genos out there somewhere, but I've exhausted my "Google fu" (metaphorically) trying to find them. I kind of just want to start over. Is it OK to just accept this stuff is lost and just start looking for a new geno to begin again with? Or is there something else I should be doing to try to find these?
π: 0 β©: 1
If you don't want to search through the appropriate journals, that's fine. ;u; The most important thing to note would be that since you technically do own other genos, you cannot adopt from the adoption center. Otherwise, you're free to do as you choose as far as acquiring new tokotas. c:
π: 0 β©: 1
It's not so much that I don't WANT to search as I'm not sure where to begin. I did find the ones I'd tried to make designs for in my stash, so I at least know who bred them, but do I check that person's account? I also did find my adopted Tokota, but the Adoption Center's comments apparently don't go back to when I adopted him, so I don't have proof of his adoption. Can I still use him?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahhh, okay. I gotcha. Well ... if they're genos, you would start around your best estimate of when you got them and search the old breeding journals for transfers. Users might not have their old sales journals up, sadly. :c And of course, if there are any uploaded tokotas in your name, searching your username in Totem's gallery would bring those up.
As far as the adoption center, there are also old journals for that. You'd have to poke through them around the correct date and just ctrl+f to find your username.
If you go to TokoTime 's journals and hit "All" on the left, you should be able to see a full list of all the previous journals on the right. You'd just find the old breeding journals and adoption center journals there, and then you could search through the ones from around the time you got your genos.
If you have a best estimate for when you got your adoption center geno, I can try poking around to help find that one at the very least. ;v;
π: 0 β©: 1
Gotcha. Nothing ever got uploaded/approved, alas, so it's genos I'm tracking down. All of my activity here would have been around February 2016, maybe into January but I think life had burst into flames by March of that year IIRC. That's really kind of you to look. I don't mind shrugging off the cash I spend on the genos I bought, since the owners were fairly paid and it doesn't hurt anyone but me if they never get used, really. But I do feel terrible not using my adopted geno. I would definitely like to find my proof of ownership for him if possible so I can redo his design and take another shot at it. If it helps, I have his pedigree?
π: 0 β©: 1
Found your adoption center geno! c:
comments.deviantart.com/1/5826β¦
For the others, I don't think it'd be as easy to find them just because the pups could have been from litters from then or from months before. :c I can poke around a bit to see if anything turns up though.
π: 0 β©: 1
You're amazing! <3 TYSM! Hooray, now I can finally give that guy a proper design. I've seen a lot more Tokotas now than I had the first time I tried it. Thanks so much! If you'd like to look for others, it would be very kind of you and deeply appreciated, but finding my adopted guy is more than enough! Even that I am very grateful for. If you find more of them, though, I'll have to ... I dunno, do an activity art for one of your Tokos, or something. You're doing a lot of work and it doesn't seem fair not to reciprocate somehow.

I hate to say this, but I've done it to myself again. x.x; I'm SO mad at myself. After making a point of saving all of these neatly and doing so with all the new ones I bought now, I just noticed that the very first two I got in the last few days... I forgot to save proof of ownership for. I've been looking for the sale journal for hours and I'm SO annoyed with myself. I didn't even save the parents this time, just the genos themselves. GAH. What magic did you do to find the older ones? These would most likely have been bred in December 17 but I've been up and down that thread without finding them (I could have missed them, since there's so much, but... ahhhhhhh.) Do you have a way to search or did you just manually comb though?Β

I don't recall having a huge number. That seems about right. There might be one or two still out there, possible, but TBH you've already rescued many more than I was hoping to locate. <3 You've been very helpful, above and beyond the call of duty IMO. It was very kind of you to do.Β
