Welcome to...

CE Discord

Archive Thread | Trading Thread

IMPORTANT: If you had a cheetah egg in one of the original threads and would like your adoptable recreated in the new style so you can use and breed it again, please contact me (starcrusher) for a complimentary upgrade!

Cheetah Eggs are fancifully-colored cheetahs that hatch out of eggs and grow on their own, usually in three stages like CS pets! CEs do not require new codes or clicks to grow -- all you have to do is keep an eye on your egg!

Frequently Asked Questions.

Are these free?
Yes, everything on this thread is free unless explicitly stated otherwise!

How do you make them grow?
Magic! I did write this tutorial, although Photobucket is no longer a viable option. Maybe you can put it together yourself ;D

How do I get an egg?
Eggs are only available when there is a couple to adopt from. The first few people to request eggs will receive one in their PMs, or on the thread if PMs are disabled. You are not allowed to adopt on behalf of others.

How long will it take for my egg to grow?
Eggs hatch in 2-5 days and will be full grown within 1-2 weeks.

Can I choose what my cheetah looks like?
Nope, not past knowing what the parents look like! That's part of the fun.

Is my cheetah male or female?
Any egg-laying cheetah can mate with any other! They're more both/neither, but you can call your cheetah by any pronouns you like. :D

Can I name my cheetah?
Yes! But you don't have to. You can name or rename your cheetah at any point.

How do I get a custom/raffle/contest cheetah?
Customs slots of various kinds will open periodically. For the rest, you'll have to wait for a raffle or contest!

How do I breed my cheetahs?
You will need an item called love nip unless you would like to breed your cheetah with a staff member's! Breeding slots will also open up periodically. You can earn love nip and other items by visiting the Garden each day when it's open.

How will I know when new litters are available?
If you join the CE discord, litters are announced there, as well as mini contests and guessing games! In general, joining the Discord will give you a heads-up on pretty much everything!

The Lore

Unlike cheetahs from our world, these cheetahs live in a wide variety of climates, from temperate forests and plains to unforgiving tundra and mountains, and even within caves! Rarely, they will dwell in or near human settlements. Quite a lot was written about the known species and subspecies many years ago.

Since that time, the climate has cooled. The temperate zones have narrowed, with coniferous forest encroaching where once leafy trees and grasslands abounded. Mountains are icier and winters are longer than ever. Egg-laying cheetahs are well used to deep forests, however, and most Common Cheetahs are still perfectly comfortable in their changing habitat. Egg-laying Wolves still live in packs near coalitions of cheetahs without much conflict between the two species.

Common Cheetahs

Your average cheetah! They are a bit fluffier than real-life cheetahs to thrive in the temperate climate in which they live. They come in a huge variety of colors and patterns, often featuring spots, stripes, and rosettes. More unusual patterns are also plentiful, though!

Wooly/Featherfluff Cheetahs

These cheetahs are specially adapted to live in colder climates than their relatives. Their build is much the same, although they often look bigger due to an abundance of fluffy fur, and feathers around the shoulders, haunches, and tail! Current research suggests these are the descendants of Featherwing cheetahs. Unlike their delicate-boned ancestors, Featherfluff cheetahs are avid hunters and explorers, their thick fur allowing them to tackle larger prey without fear of injury and traverse even the harshest tundra.

Seemingly like birds and many arctic species, Featherfluff cheetahs tend to display a juvenile coat that is shorter and less impressive than their adult coloring. They also tend to have markings that are "softer" in appearance than Common cheetahs due to the length and density of their fur.

Bantam Cheetahs

This notably smaller, usually winged subspecies comes in several different varieties: moth, butterfly, dragonfly, and wingless. So far, exactly how these cheetahs developed is a mystery! They are plentiful in the Garden and other woodlands. They appear to spread plant pollen by rubbing their bodies against flowers, and mostly eat nectar and fruit.

They can interbreed with common and wooly cheetahs, but all the offspring will usually be wingless bantams! Bantams also grow faster than other subspecies, with only an egg and an adult stage.

Cave Cheetahs

This newly discovered subspecies is a case of highly-specialized development suited to a specific environment! These cheetahs have managed to cope with the cooling temperature by making their homes deep in caves warmed by geothermic energy. Because of where they live, their coats are typically either very light or very dark. They are completely blind, but have much stronger senses of smell and hearing than most cheetahs! They typically keep their noses to the ground to find their way through their caves and search for food.

One of their favorite foods is bioluminescent cave algae -- while they can't see the colors, they love to try a variety of flavors. This algae even grows like a coat or blanket over their backs, keeping them even warmer and providing a convenient snack! Feeding your cave cheetah different colors of algae will change the coloration of their "blanket", and algae colors will even blend together for a full range of custom hues!

But what about Cheedrakes?

These distant relatives of Common Cheetahs were once extremely rare and notoriously difficult companions. Unable to tolerate the harsher climate of their mountain homes in the impending ice age, they were forced down into the forests, though their solitary nature largely prevented them from cohabiting with the cheetahs who'd been thriving in the forests already.

Then a fascinating thing began to happen: Cheedrakes approached humans. While neither species knew what to make of the other at first, the smartest Cheedrakes learned that human encampments could provide their own warmth, shelter, and even food -- with some cooperation, of course. Humans did as humans do, and consciously or otherwise began to select Cheedrakes with the gentlest temperaments and most pleasing appearances. Modern Cheedrakes are smaller than Common Cheetahs and possess brilliant colors, velvety wings, manes, and feathery tail-tips where there once were dangerous points.

They are largely believed to be extinct in the wild. Their domestication, however, has not made them easier to adopt here on CS! On the contrary, the humans who keep these creatures are highly protective and unlikely to trust outsiders to care for one properly.

Adopting.

Here you'll find a selection of cheetah pairs to choose from. In order to adopt from them, you must fill out the form below each pair. Editing of forms for FCFS pairs is not permitted. If you're quick enough to claim an egg, it will be sent to you via PM or posted on this thread. Eggs hatch in 2-5 days and grow up within 1-2 weeks. Please keep in mind that you are not allowed to choose which egg you want from a pair, although you may swap cheetahs with another user if both of your cheetahs are adults.

You are allowed one growing cheetah at a time. After your cheetah grows up, you'll be allowed to breed it or adopt a new cub.

Available Pairs.

Fill out the form under your favorite pair for a chance to receive one of their eggs!
Codes will be posted in the thread this time for ease of distribution!

No FCFS pairs right now!

Raffles... and Contests!

If you are using an item that allows you to adopt more than one egg at once, please let us know when you fill out your adoption form!

The Hearth.

The event space has been totally cleared out! All is quiet and peaceful in the village once more.

The Garden.

There's an overgrown field on the outskirts of the village that was once used to grow special plants. The people in the village have moved on from it and let nature take hold once more. Not far from the garden is the entrance to a vast network of caves, but it's so tight that only a cheetah used to maneuvering underground is able to fit! Adult cheetahs who are unable to see into the garden seem to prefer visiting the cave instead. ;)

There are always at least a few wild cheetahs milling around this area at any given time, sniffing the perimeter. It looks like they're too scared to cross over the fence, but an adult cheetah who's been hand-raised by a CS player might be tall enough to hop over and brave enough to explore...

Rules:

once per day

The Garden is closed for now!

If you want to use any of your items, from the garden or otherwise, please let us know on this thread!
