This is Hymn

With a strong delivery like that, how could I refute? XD

Hymn is quite pleased that you recognized her!

I was talking about what outcome might be Koikee’s with catmother456 and we came to a realisation…

We think this is Koikee’s outcome!

I originally had thought it was this outcome, because of the stars and the fact that their outcome last year had flowers as well, but then I realised that there was a flaw in that theory because they said that their outcome this year was more edited than their previous outcomes… meanwhile it actually has less line edits than their other outcomes, and is unlikely to be theirs.

Then catmother pointed out that this outcome was very edited and could be theirs, and then I noticed that there’s actually lots of little stars in their fur! You might have to turn up your brightness to see it, they are most obvious on the tail. This outcome would make sense because they have hinted that their outcome is themed after stars and loves to adventure, and they also said that their outcome doesn’t have pink paws - and this outcome doesn’t!

I've been having fun watching you guys write your thoughts here and on Discord, and while this puppy makes the most sense as of now, unfortunately, it is wrong. That is not my dog!
(That goes for both guesses. Also, who said my growth needed edits?)

I knew it! I was on discord and looked at this cutie and it hit me! The EYES!!! The details, and she fit all the hints. I was working on my post, and thought I am late to the game I was encouraged to post here, so I will.

* The final stage of this pup definite has a few colors.
* Though not inspired by mythology, maybe by insectology?
* She would love something haunting and beautiful for her music vibe - maybe the sound of crickets, just like the place she would most likely end up - “Somewhere warm, with plenty of evening crickets, a relaxed place with a chill vibe where nothing ever feels out of place.”
* Bugs eat all sorts of stuff - meat, fish, bugs, and an occasional sweet snack, too
* Her nose color is pink.ish, or magenta. It is shimmery so you can see both depending on how you look at her
* Bugs are always at camps in the forest so I can see her hanging out with her forest friends at the last event
* Bugs thrive in Spring and Summer when it is warmer, and most don’t do well in cold weather
* Hymn would be shy at school probably because being a little bug, she has to watch out for people walking on her by mistake, which is probably why she has nightmares all the time, and would give anyone nightmares if you ask me.
* Being a little bug, I can see her wanting to not walk everywhere. Taking the subway makes sense to get around, and without wings, taking a hot air balloon would help her take in everything easily
*Has this in interests always been there? "How much brighter and more beautiful is the sky, the trees, or the land, when you see them with eyes that have never seen such things?" Well, in her previous form, her eyes were smaller but now with these huge eyes, she can probably see so much more now
* And lastly, the EYES have it! Concept mentioned eyes 3 times, so there was a big emphasis on the eyes. This cutie has BIG eyes, the better to see you! Her eyes a re definitely wide open and ready to take everything in

So here is my post. I love Hymn so much! Wonderful job Concept!

You put this together so well! Hymn has a little more to reveal as time goes on! I've got a LOT of lore and story that I plan to reveal to you all periodically, but you put this together SO SO well and it fits all the clues you mentioned! (NGL I thought the antennae and fur style would give me away instantly XD my Ratipede from last Halloween has similar antennae and Bugs have been a theme of mine since I started XDD) Thank you so much for going ahead and sharing, I appreciate it!!

Fun little tidbit: insects also smell with their antennae! So you could bee Hymn's nose as being the front of her face, OR the dark magenta antennae!

despite all line edits and stuff that plain green pup is the one that intrigues me the most .... what's it going to DO !!

[Sakura Kuromi]

As for the staff pets:
I thought I could list my favorite growth per day so far xD
Day 1: (it was a close one between this and the goat looking one)
Day 2:
(it reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it... Something like a caterpillar, but this isn't it)
Day 3:
(it somehow gave me 90s vibes, maybe because the thing in it's mouth remind me of a Tamagochi xD
Day 4:
(it's so fluffy... somehow says border collie to me? Don't know why xD - one of my favorites all around so far)
Day 5:
(the swirls... I somehow really like them, though I can't say why xD - one of my favorites all around so far)
Day 6:
(I'm a florist, what else would it be? XD But I love the dragon-like one as well ♥)
Day 7:
(it somehow reminds me of our dog, when she did something she shouldn't have xD)

could this be Codex's pup?


-snip-

Yesssss that’s my pup! I knew my name was gonna be pinned to this pup once they showed up, I’m so excited to see them grown and I hope you guys will enjoy the adult too!

Does it have a name?

They don’t have a fixed name but I’d like them to be named after memories of sunsets and oceans. If you remember a place like that, that’ll be their name.

I’d love to know what everyone named this pupper & I hope such memories were fond to think of while naming them.

I’ll share my version of their name and memory when they grow up!

Dune. Like the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Not on an ocean but still on a large body of water, a Great Lake. I instantly thought of the camping trip I just took back in August with my boyfriend and of this one really pretty sunset we watched together while on the sand.

has anyone guessed for this pup to be vampiric's yet?

reasoning: Tamogotchi correlates with that "1000% 90's hint" also the little hair at the top just gives me vampiric's art style vibes + the eyes <3

late to this response but i've been thinking this too ,, so many of vampiric's past dogs have anime girl type things going on and i think this one is gearing up for that too
