Feather Duster Raptors

Scientists finally did it! They've managed to create real dinosaurs! Well, kind of. These little guys are called Feather Duster Raptors because the fine downy feathers that cover them are so soft they feel like feather dusters. I like to call them Dusties. Of course, you could just call them "FDR" but that's cliche and kind of awkward, since those are the initials of 32nd president of the U.S.

Okay... so what are they?


Dusties are a tiny species of "dinosaur" based off of the famous velociraptor. Except they're even smaller than velociraptors, (real velociraptors are actually only turkey sized!); Dusties are about 18 inches long (That's about 45 centimeters) from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. Dusties are actually fairly social and intelligent creatures and communicate to each other in little chirps, squeaks, yelps, and occasional hisses. Dusties will follow their owner around, and can recognize individual people.

Dusties, however, cannot breed with others of their species, and must be created in a lab. This means that it is not uncommon for Dusties to have special mutations, such as horns, glowing parts, scales, etc. that scientists add when they get bored.


How do I adopt one?


Just click on one in the colored in area below the main picture thing! Available ones should say something to let you know you can try for one. And then what? Well, you just follow the instructions that the scientist posts. It's easy!

What about customs?


Customs are not available at the moment.

○Each custom costs any four of my wishlist pets.
○There will only be two slots at a time. If the slots are taken, they're taken.
○Please, be reasonable. No dusties with medieval war scenes on their sides. You can make it glow, put unnatural designs/colors onto it, have it have a beard, etc... but please don't make it ridiculously complicated.
○What you get is what you get; no complaining.
○Each user is only allowed ONE custom.
○Don't give me a picture of a character. Just an idea or a theme would be nice.

Rules


-Only 3 Dusties per. owner at the moment, please!
-Please respect the artist(s).
-Do not spam, complain, quarrel, badmouth, cheat, mini-mod, lie, steal, etc.

Don't make me create a list of banned people. That's not fun for anyone.





More about Dusties...


Basics
Dusties are 18-inch long (45 cm) from the tip of the snout to the tip of the tail. They weigh only 1-2lbs.
Their body feathers are extremely fine, dense, and downy, while the feathers on their wings and tails are more large and stiff. Although they have wings, they cannot fly; instead Dusties are able to use their wings to balance, make sharper turns, accelerate quicker, and they can even "run" up nearly vertical surfaces (much like modern chickens). Dusties aren't prone to any health issues, although their bones are hollow and extremely fragile.

Diet
Dusties are carnivores, but will also eat insects and foods high in sugar. Some of their favorite foods are mealworms, grapes, mice, and sugar cubes. Dusties get very sick if they eat chocolate, dog/cat food, or nuts. They also lack the ability to digest dairy. Dusties only really need to have one or two meals a day, although they prefer having snacks throughout the day.

Behavior
Dusties behave a bit like flightless hummingbirds. Because of their high sugar intake, a lot of the time they're almost literally bouncing off of the walls. They sleep for an average of 4-8 hours a day, depending on the amount of sugar they take in. Dusties are quite social and intelligent, and learn to bond with the people they're around more. However Dusties may be aggressive towards strangers or people they've had bad encounters with, and will chirp and hiss loudly at the person, and even nip at their ankles. Despite this, more than anything else, Dusties absolutely love to cuddle, and will often fall asleep in their owner's lap.

General Appearance
Dusties come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, and they can also have special mutations or accessories (such as horns, collars, etc.). One thing that many Dusties share, though, are the stripes/bands on the tail. These are very common in a dusty, and you will see them more often than not. Dusties with thicker tail stripes/bands tend to be more outgoing, but this is not always the case. The most common eye colors are yellow and blue, with green eyes being slightly less common. Red or brown eyes are more rare.

Support the Dusties!
