Collection-HoardsGlass MenagerieThis was the first collection-hoard I started, and to date the most complete. This hoard is dedicated to pets that look like they are made of transparent glass or have a body part that is see-through.
Why do I collect these?
When I was a child I loved finding sea glass on the shore of the Great Lakes we would visit in the summers. Somehow these pets remind me of those simpler times.

Reindeer GamesThis group has every official reindeer that has been released with the nine reindeer from the song (plus Olive).
Why do I collect these?
I wanted an easy reference group so I could see what kinds of reindeer we’ve had in the past. And sure I could have collected one of each, but then the rest would be left out…
Currently at 120/127

It's Okay to Have a Little PrideI definitely need to workshop that name… anyway! Baby lions, all the baby lions (and a few kittens that might have snuck in, don't tell anyone)
Why do I collect these?
Do I really need to explain, baby lion cute. This is potentially my toughest hoard to trade for, though. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever complete it.

Hey Honey, Bee MineThis group is dedicated to all things bee-shaped and honey-flavored.
Why do I collect these?
Honestly it started when I got the UR Bee one Dec 18. Back then when I got it, it was only Very Rare not OMGSoRare, and I didn't bother trying to trade it away. And then the hoard just kind of… happened.
Bees are cool anyway we should do more to help them.

Rainbow ConnectionThis group is for rainbow-themed pets of all kinds. I try to limit it to pets that have the seven traditional rainbow colors. I mostly succeed.
Why do I collect these?
I love rainbows, I always have. They make me happy, seeing all these pets in one place makes me happy.

All That Glitters...A group for pets that are silver or greyscale.
Why do I collect these?
Second to rainbows, silver is my favorite color, which is half of why I picked my username. I love the way silver shines and glitters in the light. It was really only a matter of time before I gave in and made a silver hoard.
That said, this is definitely the hardest group to decide what should and shouldn't belong; part of why I added the greyscale pets, really.

Handle With CareThis group is for broken pets, be that in body or heart, and also pets that are made of glass without being see-through.
Why do I collect these?
This started as an offshoot of my Glass Menagerie hoard. I just love glass pets so much, I was putting them in there for quite a while before I decided to make this it's own thing. And while I was at it, I tossed all the broken pets in here too! It's definitely my most broadly defined hoard, but I like the end results.

Crown JewelsA group for pets that are made of stone that is precious or valued in some way.
Why do I collect these?
I have always loved gem pets as well as the other pets I collect, if a bit less than some. What really pushed me to make this group is getting the UR PPS dragon the year it was released! It looks so much like a little gem I decided this was as good a reason as any to create this hoard.

Forests of the NightTigers, tigers, tigers, tigers, tigers, ti--
Why do I collect these?
I love tigers. I love them so much. It makes me sad I will probably never be able to pet one (while fully understanding that this is a very bad idea, trust me) so this is the next best thing.

Plush PileA group for plushie style pets.
Why do I collect these?
I loved collecting plushies in Neopets, so why not here too?

You Cannot Kill Me in a Way That MattersMushrooms, maybe zombies.
Why do I collect these?
I have wanted a mushroom group for a while ever since I gave up on my Still Life hoard. It just took me a while to come up with the name.
Zombies are just a bonus.

Sins and VirtuesSeven deadly sins, seven heavenly virtues, and a random collection of angels and demons.
Why do I collect these?
I have always loved the Seven Deadly Sins as a concept. While I didn't know about the Virtues until they were released as pets, they had to be in the group too of course. The angels were added sometime later, as well as that horse I dressed up.
I wish it to be known I named the angel and demon foxes before S2 of Good Omens came out.
