Welcome to the home of Longneck Adopts!

Founded in 2017 based on a drawing by coastelid, Longneck adopts quickly won over hearts in the CS adopts community. In the three years this species was active, over 700 little Longnecks found loving homes. We are excited to announce that these cute little friends are back! We are so excited to introduce you to the new era of Longnecks. Above you will find our directory, and below more information about the Longneck species. We are so excited to have you here, and hope to help you find your perfect Longneck friend!

Rules are a pretty boring way to get a thread started, I know. But they are important, and make sure that everyone in the Longneck community has a positive experience! At the end of the day, I hope you find that the community is what makes the Longneck species special. We have always been dedicated to being an open, accepting, and kind group of people. The commitment to those values is what has made everyone love Longnecks, and more importantly stick around years later! To keep everything friendly and compliant with CS expectations, please review our Community Rules:

- Follow All CS Rules

This website is what has provided us with a space to enjoy this species for years. Please be respectful of CS's code of conduct, as would be expected on any other part of this site.

- Do Not Harass Our Artists

Please treat our artists with kindness. We are all very busy and have kindly agreed to contribute some of our time to bringing this species back. We are all very friendly individuals and would be happy to assist you in any way. Just ask politely, be patient, and we will happily help you!

- Losing Is Okay

Often times, Longneck adopts are given out on a competition basis. This method tends to lead to more interesting entries and has a way of finding users who are more interested in loving that Longneck for the long haul. The downside to this method, is it can lead to users becoming attached to adopts before they have officially won. While it can be tough, please practice good sportsmanship and be kind to your fellow potential adopters.

We have also been known to offer runner-up prizes here, so don't fret if you don't win on your first time out! We want everyone to experience the joy of Longnecks and will take note of reoccurring applicants. Your tries will certainly not go unnoticed, even if it doesn't always immediately pan out.

- Credit Artists When Necessary

Giving credit where credit is due is very important in creative communities. Please credit the original artists of your Longneck adopt if posting the original image to anywhere other than the specific Longneck's original thread.

While this has never been an issue, please also do not claim this species as your own original design. It is originally designed by coastelid (previously pringlekit, hence pk signature) and owned by ThePaintedPitBull.

Current artists: ThePaintedPitBull, DuskzeHedgie, mastergirl7, and Cetacea. There are currently no guest artists.

- Rehoming Is Okay

We want you to love your Longnecks and for your Longnecks to be loved. But hey, sometimes there just isn't a connection and we totally understand. If you choose to rehome your Longnecks, please contact our archivist so that our records can be as current as possible.

Current archivist: DuskzeHedgie

- Discord Is No Different

The Longneck species community does also operate outside of CS. We have a Discord channel where fans of the species are welcome to chat. Despite Discord offering many more freedoms, please follow all CS rules and CS Discord Specific rules in the Discord channel. We are required to moderate and ensure that these rules are being respected, so please just make sure that you follow the same code of conduct you would on this site.

What is a Longneck? Fantastic question!

Longnecks are medium sized mammalian creatures. They weigh somewhere in between 70 - 120 lbs, and are comparable in size to a Capybara. They move around on all four legs. Most Longnecks have soft fur, although some rarer varieties have evolved to have various different fur and skin types. All Longnecks have a skull like face, many with horns giving them an almost prehistoric energy. Perhaps they are prehistoric, who knows! The history of Longnecks has always been up in the air. In fact, it is unknown for sure why they are called Longnecks. Do they have long necks hidden somewhere in the fluff? Or are they just really being Land Before Time fans? We may never know for sure.

They can be found anywhere in the world, although they are very shy around humans. When they decide to bond with you though, they will be your best friend! Within their own species, they are extremely social creatures and prefer to travel in packs. At the beginning of their species, in hopes of increasing their population Longnecks were known to have many cubs to increase chances of survival. However, they are fiercely loyal and now that their numbers are high, they typically mate for life having only one litter of 1 - 2 cubs.

Longnecks are a very genetically diverse species. While they are mammals, some have wings, or even fins! Much like penguins though, our little Longneck friends with wings are flightless. They certainly do make for a cool appearance though! You may also come across a Longneck with some accessories or souvenirs. They are very sentimental, and love collecting things. If your Longneck comes with an accessory or other item, it is likely very special to them!

Most importantly, Longnecks just want to make you happy. Bringing joy to you, is what brings joy to them! It is for that reason, that we sincerely hope you will grow to love your Longneck adopt, and the Longneck species as a whole. They have brought a lot of joy to a lot of people's lives, and hopefully will continue to do so!

The Longneck species is operating under a new rarity system! While our previous one was more in depth, it often led to inconsistencies in how prevalent actual rarities were. This new system is designed to allow for more variety in adopts and more room for creativity for artists, while helping to keep the Longneck population balanced. To make rarities clear to adopters, all adopts backgrounds will now be color coded based on rarity.

It is worth noting, that the old archive will be adjusted to accommodate for the modern rarity system, so if you have Longnecks from V.1, they may have been adjusted. Feel free to check out our Archive, linked above, for the most up to date rarities of our Longnecks. Below, you can find descriptions of each rarity.

Just because a Longneck is common, doesn't make it any less special. Common Longnecks have always been some of my favorites! So, what makes a Longneck common? Common Longnecks are exclusively colors that occur naturally in mammals. This includes neutral tones. Their eyes, however, can be any color. They can have any tail. They also may now feature some line edits, and accessories! Longneck Adopts who are common can be distinguished easily by the green background color, the original color of the Longneck thread.

Fun fact, Cuppa the Longneck Mascot since 2017 is also a Common Longneck!

Below are two examples of a Common Longneck:

Uncommon Longnecks are about to get so exciting! On our previous system, there wasn't much distinguishing and uncommon Longneck from a common one, which kind of left them a little forgotten in our little community. Well it's time this rarity got the love it has always deserved. Now, an Uncommon Longneck can come in ANY color. This is exciting because it means that more creative adopts are no longer limited to Rare adopts. They can have any eye color, any tail, and may also feature some line edits and accessories. Uncommon Longneck adopts can be identified by a yellow background color.

Below are two examples of an Uncommon Longneck:

Rare Longnecks are going to finally get to be, well, rare! Often times our previous system led to many Longnecks who didn't fit the rigid rules of lower rarities to be rare. While that did create many interesting adopts, it did not create a very stable rarity system. Rare Longnecks may seem a lot like the uncommon level at first glance, these adopts may feature more fantastical edits. They can be any color, have any color of eye, have any tail, and their line edits can be more extreme. Rare Longnecks can have features that would not otherwise be found on mammals. Some have wings, fins, additional eyes, or are even almost spectral! Rare Longneck Adopts feature special rainbow backgrounds.

Below are two examples of a Rare Longneck:
