- 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.

hello there! i would like to get into tokotas, as my friend has been in it for awhile and has been poking me to join. the thing is, i tried too awhile ago and i'm not entirely sure if i already own a single genotype or not. i don't want to post in the adoption if i already own a tokota and cause a problem.Β
is there anyway to check if i own a tokota? or possibly help me fix this situation? thank you in advance!

Unless you or the person you received the geno from can check some kind of history or record of such (i.e notes, comments on a journal, skype message history) then no!
The group does not keep tabs on who receives what geno and when. I hope you can find the geno!
If you cannot and don't want to go through the adoption center, I have a basic geno you can take for free from me!
Plus it would be quicker I believe!

ah, well, it was worth asking. i appreciate your reply.
if you would be able to give a basic geo, i would really like that!
your offer is really nice :^)

hello, i adopted an geno but the problem is i want to design it but i cant find the permission anymore and i dont have it in my mind? can i have any help?
π: 0 β©: 1
if you received the geno from the adoption center, you will need to search there, if you purchased it from another member, you can try looking through their journals for the possible sale, otherwise, you will need to search through the breeding journals searching for your username

Why no free to create? Seams like a real shame to me. I was wondering why i couldn't hardly find any fan art of these creatures anywhere other than Deviant art.
π: 0 β©: 1
Tokotas is heavily into breeding, which is why we use genotypes to denote designs. You can find genos free for newbies or for cheap in the advertisement folder. All activities require pieces to be posted on DA for rolling, which is why its mainly a deviantart community, though I am aware of several members that post their works on other sites. Tokotas isn't really a species about "fanart" as it isn't really considered a fandom with specific characters (we have almost 30,000 uploaded tokotas, so that would be kind of tough XD ), but an ARPG with individually owned characters that owners usually work on themselves, or via commission, to further their advancement.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I see. I just find the whole idea of having to pay to use a fictional species for every individual as just odd. But i totally understand, everybody needs to make a living. As an artist who does art commissions, i can totally relate. But having people make fanart of your creatures is a pretty good way to expand your fan base, to become more well known, and for other to share their creative take's on the species. I mean that's what happened with the fictional species known as Sergals. They are an insanely popular fictional species and there is tons of fan art surrounding them. But regardless, do what you feel is right. And btw, love the Dire Tokoata's. Really beautiful.

I have submitted my Tokota to my Sta.sh... What do I do now?
π: 0 β©: 1
You need to fill out the template here:Β Import Information Template Β and put it in the description of that stash file.
Then you'll submit the design to the correct thread inΒ Design Central - April 2017 [OPEN] .

I just join the Tokotas group. I would like to claim a female Tokota as a new member.Β

You're going to want to check out the Adoption Center. The link is here:
Welcome To TokoTime!

Please read through the guide. It tells you how to get your own tokota.

I just stopped by your group and felt like telling you guys, that I think it's wonderful, that even though the breed is so popular, you make it possible for every newbie to adopt a free Geno and even get a free design. Like, I see this breed in my inbox a lot and I love, that you are still not making it impossible to join your group.
I don't feel like I'm active enough anymore on dA to get my hands on one of your precious doggos, but I thought I'd tell you that anyway!

It says that you can claim a TokotaΒ for free as a newbie but I have NO idea how to do that, I'm afraid..Β Is there any chance of some advice? Sorry for the trouble. And the note asking for help finding this page, haha...
π: 0 β©: 1
From the journal:
Adoption CenterΒ - The easiest way to get a tokota as a new member is through theΒ Adoption Center ! (Scroll down in the link to find it). Here you can place a claim on an undesigned tokota and, if you receive 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...

Sorry to trouble you with that ^~^

Hi! I have a question: is it possible to get an adopt that is chosen randomly by an admin? Like from the adoption center? (Without the long wait since I'm dying to get to draw Toko stuff - I would accept any Tokota, and I have no preference for its looks.)
I also have no idea how to find a Tokota I could buy with art (I have problems in understanding lots of text and stuff due to my ADHD and I'm very confused with the Advertisements Folder).
I'm so eager to join the fun and get my very first Tokota, but I just don't understand how all these things work, even tho I tried to read all the info. I'm sorry if my questions are stupid. ;;
π: 0 β©: 1
No. If you want to claim a free geno, you will need to post in the adoption center and wait until one of the admins gets to you. We cannot skip over everyone else and give you a random geno, as that would not be fair to everyone else who has been waiting. It doesn't take that long to get a geno from the AC.
If you want to find your own tokota from another player (for art, points, cash, or whatever), you will have to go sifting through the "Tokotas for Sale" sub-folder in the advertisements.

I was just wondering! My friend helped me to post the geno thingies later yesterdat. I was also a bit unfocused when I wrote this question, I hadn't slept very well.Β

You can apply for a geno in the adoption center through the cycling journals hub on the front page for a geno, or you can look through member advertisements in the gallery that are selling genos or uploaded tokotas!
Here's a direct link to the adoption center !

Okay I may just be a ditz, but in the Adoption Center journal does "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." mean how long you've been with the group or how long you have had the account? If it's the later then I'm definitely a ditz because I waited for nearly a month to ask the obviously simple question... :I
I apologize if this has already been asked/answered and/or is a stupid question...
I accidentally posted this on this on the adoption center journal as well, but hid it because of my silly mistake...
π: 0 β©: 1
The account itself needs to have been active for a month.
