The Crafthorn is a member of the family bovidae and usually lives in warmer climates, though they can survive almost anywhere. The orb between their horns supplies them with power. When they are first born, the orb is very small and weak. It grows in size and power as the Crafthorn grows older. Each Crafthorn has a unique ability known as a craft. The bigger and more powerful a Crafthorn's orb, the better they will be able to control their craft. Crafthorns have special markings which glow when they are using their craft. No two Crafthorns have the same marking, so these markings are often used to identify one Crafthorn from another.

Crafthorns live in groups called "Guilds". Each guild specializes in a specific type of magic, and every guild has its own goals and ambitions. The guilds often compete and go to war with one another, because each guild believes they are superior. Some guilds, however, are centered around pacifism and peace. These guilds do not get involved in war, and they often stick together and stay within their own group of peaceful guilds. More violent guilds may form alliances with one another to defeat a common enemy, but these alliances don't usually last very long unless each guild shares similar goals and ambitions.
A guild can be very large or very small, but smaller, weaker guilds are often overthrown by stronger guilds. Below are the ranks a Crafthorn may have within their guild.

Master- the leader of a guild, often legendary

Soliders- the Crafthorns which fight for their guild

Medics- specializes in healing

Augur- receives omens, similar to how in Warriors, medicine cats receive messages from starclan

Commoners- the rest of the population

Outlander- one who is not a part of a guild

Each guild has only one or two masters, one auger, and a few medics. The rest of the Crafthorn in a guild are either commoners or soldiers.

Community rules

By participating in this species, you agree to follow all of these rules.

1. Crafthorns are a closed species, meaning you may not make one unless you have the appropriate MYO item. While I don’t own the idea of magical deerlike creatures, the lore and brand belong to me. Purposefully stealing or copying will result in a ban from the species.

2. Follow the rarity guide, and do not use traits above the rarity of MYO you have.

3. Respect all users, including staff. Do not harass, back talk, or cause intentional drama with staff, if you have a problem please address it in an appropriate manner.

4. Banned users may not participate in the species. You are not permitted to post on behalf of banned users, provide banned users with Crafthorns or CH items, or trade with banned users. Banned users may keep their designs if they remove the orb and marking, or surrender their Crafthorns to be re-adopted.

5. These rules are subject to change as the species grows. For now, this is a fairly laid back species, but if Crafthorns ever become one of the more popular species more rules may have to be added.

Artist rules

1. Do not beg or bribe to become an artist. Artists are chosen through the artist search, and will be selected as I see fit.

2. Upon being chosen, you will be a guest artist. Guest artists will make a total of five adopts- only one of which may be legendary, and three are required to be common.

3. Guest artists may not make mutated Crafthorns.

4. After a guest artist has completed their term, I may offer them a full time position. They may either accept or decline the position, but cannot change their mind if they decline.

5. Guest artists are given one legendary MYO for their efforts. Full time artists may make unlimited common Crafthorns, and one legendary or mutated MYO for each month they post at least 2 adoptables.

6. Artists will not be fired unless they break a community rule. Breaks/hiatuses are allowed, though the artist will not be given their monthly legendary/mutated MYO if they do not make two adoptables that month.

✨Crafthorns were officially created! This day will become a holiday in the years to come.

This will be updated as the species grows!

How do I get a Crafthorn?
-Crafthorns are most commonly obtained by adoptables on the main page, like all closed species. You may also purchase a myo from the customs/MYOs thread, and some Crafthorn artists will offer customs for a price.

Do I have to follow the lore? Can I have my own universe?
-You can do whatever you’d like! The main thing that’s important to Crafthorns is their craft, so as long as you keep that the same, you’re free to stray from the lore I’ve provided.

I really want one, but I don’t have any C$ or pets!
-Don’t worry! Many Crafthorn adoptables will be raffles and contests! We will also have events, which may include ways to obtain free MYOs.

Can they breed? Can breedings be non-canon or OOC? Can same gender breedings occur?
-Yes, yes, and yes! Please visit the nursery for more information on breeding, as well as breeding rules.

What’s up with the symbols? What symbol am I allowed to have on my MYO?
-A Crafthorn’s symbol is like a birth mark. Refer to the image on the second post of this thread to learn more about them! Remember that no two symbols will ever be the same, even if the Crafthorns are related.
