Emu wars?

It's an actual thing. Look it up! It's super wacky. LOL

Oh yeah, that's a thing that actually happened in Australia. And they lost. The humans lost to the emus :P

Anyway:

I absolutely love this litter <3
Only thing I don't like is the fact it's such a tiny litter. It could easily have been 3 times the size if not bigger. There are so many beautiful biomes to pick from, how can you limit yourself to just four!
I want to see a coral reef, wetland, mangrove, taiga, savannah, meadow, rainforest and so many more biomes in this lovely style ^.^

I prefer months like these with 'dead air' at the end due to nothing growing. Gives some nice breathing room before the next month, and it also tends to be easier to trade for what I'm still missing at the end since there's no fretting over potential splits. In all honesty, I wish more months were like this.

After furiously reading about the army facing down emu, all I can do is giggle!

oh my sweet minecraftian friend, same.

Dang, everything grown and done three days early... I do wish things were spread out more evenly, but such is life. See y'all when the new month starts! ^_^'

I kind of like that once in a while! It feels refreshing to empty out my "still growing" folder and then when the new month starts, there's only the new month pets in there. It makes me feel like I've fully caught up lol

Yeah basically this!!

Favorite outcomes and final thoughts for August

I think this is SUCH a cool idea. I saw someone say epoxy keychains, which I get, but I kind of see those keychains and stickers that you get from those toy machines at grocery stores! I missed the PPS sadly, but I’m HYPED for them to grow up!

Pet's name: Hvare Xshaeta
I've never seen a shaker charm before but they are super cool. I love all the CS references. Great job on these!

You know, usually I can come up with something but I got nothing. They look cool though! And I always love Concept’s pets so this should be good!

Pet's name: Zahara
This is not a concept I would expect to like, but I think these turned out very nicely! I like the different african wild dog coats that were represented.

The kitties look so cute! I wonder if they will be similar to the map kitties from January… do I sense a future 2nd Gen litter???

Pet's name: Yash
I still would LOVE to see a 2nd gen with the map kitties. I really like the muted colors that were used. Especially the green one!

Ahhh the pixel stars/sparkles!!! They’re gonna be so cute I can tell!

Pet's name: Saveria
The whole litter is great, but this outcome is gorgeous. I like how the body is plain but the wings have the landscape. I know all artists put a lot of work into their pets, but kudos to hellevi because these turned out phenomenal. My favorite litter of the month!

I also have no idea what these will turn out like but I am intrigued by the alternate baby

Pet's name: Ismahel
I like the alternate one but for some reason the pinks/oranges on top of the blues doesn't do it for me. I am glad to see the og lines make a return though!

Now this… this is exciting. I’m thankful I (think I) got all the outcomes in my adopts. The babies already look so cool and the monochromatic color scheme is so rad. Whoever put this combo together is a genius.

Pet's name: Lisakhanya
Chef's kiss. This litter is perfect and it was so fun to watch them grow tails every day! the monochromatic color scheme is awesome.

Yayyy I love snakes! The PPS outcome is so cool looking! Also green is my favorite color so I think I’m going to enjoy these quite a bit!

Pet's name: Wiola
Very fun! I like the variety and I like how the patterns were put on the adults.

Yay deer! My favorite species! They kind of look like they could be nature-based again which seems to be common for deer this year! Or, they could be monsters! Maybe something completely different. I love that color!

Pet's name: Oenone
I like these colors! They are very interesting for sure.

Thank you artists for your hard work once again!

Did Concept reveal what caterpillars/butterflies the snakes are? If not, can you please tell us? I think they are really cool and I like to name my pets after what they are based on

Haven't found a full list, but a couple of pages back Concept posted this:

Anyone know what this guy is? I'm thought maybe a spurge moth, lily moth, western tussock moth, or gypsy moth (hope not. Unfortunate name). But none of those seemed quite right.

THAT ONE is gonna be real tough to find so I'll give you that one myself XD It's a Pine Emperor Moth! Which looks super similar to Spurge but not quite. I just really like their freckles.

There have been other guesses but I don’t think any were confirmed-
+
Monarch Butterfly

+
Black Swallowtail Butterfly


Some sort of hornworm (maybe tomato)

These are correct! The final caterpillar is indeed a tomato hornworm! I have a special love for caterpillars and I love the PPS snakes so XD I had to. The PPS egg is meant to mimic a caterpillar inside the egg that is about to hatch, as well!
