these creatures you see are called chima beasts. although they have evolved into many different shapes, colors, and mutations, they are all considered the same species. because they have lived in this land for hundred of years, many different variations have occurred in the wild. however, they do develop similar patterns to those surrounding them, and therefor no chima beast "design" is unique just to it (unless it is a genetically modified custom). based on their percentage in the population, each "design" will be given a rarity upon it's discovery. the rarities go: common, uncommon, rare, ultra rare, and legendary. they are assigned at discovery, but if more appear and are adopted out into the community, then the design's rarity will be re-evaluated. the percentage guide only applies to chima beasts that have been adopted by users.x>30% = common | 10%<x<30% = uncommon | 5%<x<10% = rare | 2%<x<5% = ultra rare | x<2% = legendary
each design is also given it's own "title" to help categorize it in the archives.
there are many ways to adopt a chima beast, but the most common is through the adoption center. once a week, they will receive a new group of wild chimas that wish to be adopted. these can be new discoveries, or old ones! the adoption center hosts all their adoptions as free raffles, so they are 100% random. another way to randomly get a chima beast is through exploring, though you can only do this if you already own a chima. if you have one, you can send it out periodically to search the land, where it has a chance of finding another companion for you! chima beasts found while exploring are exclusive to that feature, and will not be found anywhere else. the final way to adopt a free chima beast is through adopting second generation chimas. if two first generations are bred together, their offspring will be up for adoption. these will be free to enter raffles, and rarer than regular adopts because they are not likely to appear for adoption again.
you also have the option to purchase chima beasts. these are typically rarer, to make it more worth using your in-game currency.at the pound, you can adopt a chima that's been left there; you will have to pay a small adoption fee, depending of the rarity of the beast you pick. the second cheapest way is to purchase the monthly market chimas, which will be rare and will retire after the end of the month. they will be pricey to keep their rarities in check. lastly, you have the option to purchase a custom chima. these will be completely unique, unless you chose to duplicate them later, and will always be legendary rarity. they will be very expensive, but will be designed the way you want them and exclusive to you.
beware of collecting too many chimas at once, though! each user is only allotted thirty free spots to keep their chima beasts. once your party is full, you will be unable to adopt any more beasts until you donate/sell ones you currently own (either to the pound or to other players directly), or purchase additional adoption slots from the marketplace (these cost in-game currency, but permanently upgrade your adoption limit).
chima beast designs will also retire. after a while, it will become impossible for certain designs to be found in the wild, and thus that design will become "retired". this means that it will no longer appear anywhere except for the pound or if duplicated by a user who already owns it. when a design retires, it's rarity will increase faster due to it no longer being in circulation.
