Welcome to the Velforen Woods! This special forest is home to various species which the resident handlers tame and breed to adopt out to everyday people such as yourself! Everything here is completely free, so don't worry about trades or anything like that! Just read the rules, fill out the appropriate form, and wait to receive your new pet! ^^
Please note that I do these for fun - if my life is really busy, or I'm having a terrible day, or I just really don't feel like doing customs, giving out adoption codes, etc, I won't. I don't hold these very high in terms of importance. Also, I know that this art isn't the best - if you want to see an adoption thread that I spend tons of time on, and which has better art, go here.
Species Guide
This is where you can see all the species of the Velforen Woods which have been successfully tamed so far, along with some info on them you might want to know.
Rules
Breaking these will get you in varying amounts of trouble depending on the offense, but usually you'll just get a warning. However, it would be wise to avoid warnings, as getting two will earn you a three-day suspension, and three will get you on the blacklist. And you really don't want to get on the blacklist - anyone on there has all their pets confiscated and put up for adoption by others, and are forever banned from the thread. So just read the rules, alright? Besides, even though they look long, they aren't that difficult to follow. ^^

Velforen
(Vel-FORE-ehn)
These are the animals for which the Velforen Woods are named, and for good reason - they outnumber all other species residing here by about ten to one. They don’t seem to have anything which sets them apart from ordinary, mix-breed wild canines – except, of course, their tendency to be rainbow colors and sport random mutations. These canines have so many different personalities it’s impossible to summarize their personality as a whole. However, most are very loyal, and live in small family groups consisting of blood relatives, mates, and good friends. This loyalty makes Velforen very easy to tame and breed, and so all of our handlers are able to provide you with new companions of this species.
Coloration: Anything goes. Velforen can be found sporting any color pelt you can think of.
Mutations: As far as we’ve seen, any mutation can occur in this species – wings, a dragon’s tail, a lion mane, you name it.
Breeding Group: Canid
Rarity: Very Common
Termare
(Tehr-MAHR-eh)
Looking a good deal like a common horse, this species is a bit less common than Velforen are. They are quiet, fleet-footed creatures, and live in small herds in the meadows scattered throughout the woods. Typically timid and quick to flee, Termare are difficult to tame and breed and so require a handler of greater skill and experience when initially captured. Therefore, only the chief handler Ono deals with Termare – if you wish to adopt one, look in her adoption cages.
Coloration: Only natural colors and markings here – you will never, ever find a Termare in bright, neon colors, nor with a flower patterned coat.
Mutations: Only natural-looking mutations - such as differences in mane and tail length - can be found in this species.
Breeding Group: Ungulate
Rarity: Common
Volbiten
(Fohl-BYE-tehn)
Although volbiten closely resemble ordinary deer, these harmless-looking creatures are actually extremely deadly due to a toxin in their sharp fangs. They live in very small herds of around 1-5 animals, but never stay in one place for very long. They flit through the trees, silent and unseen, hunting for their next meal. Luckily, they tend to go for smaller prey, as killing larger animals would require great amounts of toxin that they cannot afford to use all at once. However, due to the risk involved and the fact that they are fairly hard to find and extremely difficult to tame, only the chief handler Ono deals with volbiten - so if you'd like one, keep an eye on her cages.
Coloration: Volbiten only appear in natural colors, and tend to have natural markings, however, they do not always.
Mutations: Males often have snakes tails and/or various sorts of horns or antlers on their heads. No other mutations seem to be possible.
Breeding Group: Ungulate
Rarity: Uncommon

However, it would be wise to avoid warnings, as getting two will earn you a three-day suspension, and three will get you on the blacklist. And you really don't want to get on the blacklist - anyone on there has all their pets confiscated and put up for adoption by others, and are forever banned from the thread.

1. Be polite to myself, Scamps, our staff, and your fellow adopters. No spamming or rudeness of any kind will be tolerated in this thread, and you have been justly warned of such.
2. Please do at least try to use correct grammar. We understand some users aren't native speakers, or that they just aren't especially careful in this area, but you can still try.
3. You can only ask for a single animal at once, and can adopt a maximum of three per day unless you're on the whitelist/are a member of the staff. It's unlikely that there will ever be enough at once for you to do this, but it is possible.
4. Do not beg, whine, complain, plead or otherwise annoy myself or Scamps for any reason. If we want help with designs, we'll ask for them. If we need more artists, we'll ask for them. Etc. (If you ask to be a guest artist, and you do so politely, that's a different story.)
5. Don't steal other players pets. These aren't things you can just grab and walk off with. They're free, but you still have to use the forms provided, and cannot take what others have adopted.
6. No snatching the art. Do not claim it as your own, do not recolor or edit it, and above all, don't use it for your own adoptables. I drew these myself, by hand, and I really don't appreciate you waltzing in and taking it for your own. Only our certified artists are allowed to use these lines - if anyone else is seen doing so, they will be reported for art theft.
7. Don't ask me to PM you, period. If you've something to say, do so here or PM me. I will not take up my time just to PM you when you're the one who wants to talk.
8. Do not remove the link to this post in your adoption codes.
9. Do not bring your pets to any other website/forum/etc. without express permission from myself. The only exception to this is character sites - you know, those little websites people make for all their charries? Yeah, those are fine, so go right ahead.
10. Read every part of this main post here and every part of any post you intend to adopt/order from. The stuff I've written isn't only for decoration or to make us look sophisticated - there is important info in there, and you do, in fact, need to read it. If you don't and make a mistake, that's an instant blacklisting for you. So I suggest that you just do a little reading and save us all the trouble.
11. When asking for a custom, use the actual species name, not just "the horse one" or "the wolf". All this vague language shows me is that you didn't read the species guide, even though rule 10 blatantly says to do so.
12. And last but not least, the most important rule of all! What's the most important rule, you say? Have fun, of course! Well, we won't blacklist you for not having fun, but it'd be cool if you do! XD
Warnings
Two of these equals a three day suspension, three equals a blacklisting.
