He randomly got the name Hades and I think it fits him well. x) So dang awesome!

WHOA probably my favorite outcome so far! Love the design!

edit: I'm particularly curious to see this little fella grow

aaaaa!! they grew, they grew and they're stunning! I especially love the glow around the crystals when the pup is against a dark background ;a;

[Yugi]

and

Maybe I'm missing something though because the image clues both in and not listed on the hint chart suggest a 9-tailed wolf - unless it was the mythological creature aspect - but Yugi is this enough to put us out of our misery and claim or deny this puppy please?

My apologies for not catching this earlier!

You all are very close at piecing together everything I've set out 👀 I will admit that all of my hints primarily revolve around her adult outcome, rather than her more inconspicuous puppy growth.

I'll go ahead and deny the puppy you provided as well ^v^

woah :0 <3

[CodexRaider]

Sooooo cute!


That's what you are gonna grow up to be

[catmother456]

Yugi, is this your pup?



Is this pup based on the video game, Okami, where there is a white wolf based on the Japanese goddess, Amaterasu. Your image



is very similar to the image from Okami



and I found this information that may tie into the lucky number 3

Sun Goddess – 3 Symbols

Shinto – The three symbols of the sun goddess

The Mirror – symbol of truth and wisdom

The Jewel symbol of compassion

The Sword – symbol of strength and courage

These symbols are associated with the sun goddess, Amaterasu.

edit:

Also I found tis

The Celestial Brush gods (「筆神」?; Fudegami) are the thirteen gods of the Celestial Brush techniques. They represent the twelve members of the East Asia zodiac plus the cat (being mentioned in the folklores of the East Asian zodiacs and is included in several other versions of zodiacs) and the whale (being included in Persian zodiac in the place of the dragon). As in the Japanese zodiac, the boar appears as a Celestial Brush god in substitution of the pig, that is the 12th zodiacal animal in the other zodiacs of eastern Asia. Shiranui possessed all thirteen Celestial Brush techniques at her peak of strength, but at her death, each god split up and went its own way to wait for her return, hiding in constellations. It is unknown if each brush god possessed a form before then. In order to regain their powers, Amaterasu and her son must seek out these gods to restore the balance of nature to the world of Nippon.

Western representations of the constellations are similar to Iranian-Persian and Indian representations. Some Chinese representations are similar as well. Since the representations are imaginary, the similarities are more than coincidence.

Edit again:
In the video game The Battle Cats Amaterasu is a character you unlock through a gacha system.

Another day, another dog grows:



(it's quite fun to play around with the celestial cloak (cape?) as well and look at the way the crystals shine through that as well ) Okay so if meveh's will in actuality become a pps, (and that there aren't any 'pointy ears' hidden in this dogs spiky hair), then previous guess for skull pupper being meveh's can't be true. Based on that I'm tossing up between two other possibilities for the newly grown dog, so going to toss up an oddball theory and suggest todays' dog actually belongs to: WolfTales

There haven't been many hints to work from, though someone had pointed out the Bee in their profile, which leads to a profile page and nothing obvious pops up as relating to a clue. But following it to a pet brings up a little skeleton pupper which unless it's a very fascinating coincidence might have been referring to their outcome for some time.

(Of course, while we wait to see if this sheds any light on the matter of who made this glowing beauty, going to make another leap based on the observation that theres' a hidden x in WolfTale's profile as well... just a centering device for the signature? or a skull and crossbones minus the skull which is on... the skull doggo!)

For this guy:

Made me think of these crystals from the summer event, by wolfbane. and Vampiric (though wolfbane. seems to use a softer outline which this pup does not)

👀 definitely still thinking this with the growth today

[Stardust Guardian]

im no trivia expert, but this is has got to be the longest time its taken for a "first stage" pet to grow up, right?

I have a feeling the dragon lines took a couple of months... also there was a Nick rat that took an insanely long time to grow before the art was finished. (found it, 35 days!)
