also im not sure if youve said already but would they be able to understand what people say to some extent?

also for the tabby story my story kinda when a bit large, that ok?

also last question or now, but do they get slightly aggressive when protecting young? like try to make themselves larger to spook others off. like standing taller or pushing out their chests?

I'd say they understand people to about the same extent as dogs do- they get words and phrases, but they understand body language better than verbal language! They learn pretty quickly though so the do pick up on new words pretty quick!
And thats fine! It'd only be a problem if it was like....the size of a horse of something xD
And yes, Newtons do get pretty protective of their young! It's kind of a species-wide thing. People have seen whole mobs of angry Newtons chasing a dog down the street because it nipped a baby before!
They fluff out their fur as much as possible and hiss and arch their back like a cat, though there's also a lot of waving their horns about and slapping their tails about. If it's a Newton on it's own it'll use intimidation as much as possible since they aren't great fighters! But when you get bunches of them, they turn aggressive a lot more quickly.
Is there anything else your curious about? I love fleshing these guys out, it's one of my favourite parts of making new characters and species :D

And off-topic...you guys are killing me with this tabby Newton! There are so many amazing entries, I don't know how I'm going to be able to pick a winner xD

I will stalk and try out when you do hire artists C;

btw may I suggest more male newtons? All the ones currently up for adoption are all female D':

not that I have anything against female adoptables, I am just lean more towards males [x

my favorite colors are yellows and neutrals (gray/black/white) maybe something with that kind of color scheme :U?

I love the weird and freaky mutated ones too <3

Don't worry, more males are on the way! The last Halloween adopt will be a male, and I'll try and do a little streak of males after that to make up for all the girls xD I have a terrible habit of just designing girls!
And a monochrome design and neutral coloured designs are in the works c:
And thank you! (Designing the freaky and wired ones is the most fun for me, I have a weakness for things with too many eyes or not enough xD)

ah cool thanks, im think im good for now just making sure my story doesnt sound too off balance.
i only just realized how big newtons can be ( i stood in the middle of class with a tape measure XD) so im gonna have to tweak my story a little.

iv drawn some sketches but they dont look as cute as the actual newton so i hope it will do (it goes with the story somewhat)

Omg yes bongos and bugs are definitely going to be a thing! And some deep sea critters would be fun to draw as well...I'm seeing some comb jellies in the future!
And I'll try a dreamcatcher design, hopefully it'll be good! xD
