https://wiki.chickensmoothie.com/Catego ... tter_NamesIf they are themed after a specific character that will likely be the listed name for them in those guides.
Otherwise, I'd suggest looking at the monthly discussion threads for the pets in question. If they are themed after something specific it'll be mentioned in there, usually by the artist themself.
I think you have most of the ones there which are themed after a specific character, but if you're just looking for pets that have a very specific theme (and not just a general design, like the Edgar Allen Poe ones) there are a very large number of those. Some more obscure than others (for copyright reasons, like the Sonic ones not being obvious unless you knew about it). Unfortunately I think you'd have to do that research yourself rather than asking here, there isn't a complied list of this kind of thing and this board is more for simple questions, not large projects (which this seems to be turning into).
To help out with a few of these that I know off the top of my head though;
- Christmas 2020 dogs, first two are based off of angel and miner candle holders that are put on windowsills during christmas time. They aren't any specific character as far as I know. The third one is Krampus.
- The Halloween 2020 dogs are (in the order you posted them) Hade, Hel, Veles, and Anubis (Osiris is king of the underworld in Egyptian mythology but Anubis is also also considered a god of the dead/mummification, and the 'theme' was just gods of the dead. Artist confirmation
here)
thanks for the info!! is there another forum i could post to for this? I've tried to find info on the names before and i couldn't find much, which is why i started the thread.
I just mean that we don't necessarily want people to use the help boards as their personal detective service. Meaning that, all of the information is already available, if you know the year and month you can look up the discussion thread for that month and use keywords to find information about certain outcomes to see if they were based on anything specific. Some of these people may know off the top of their heard but beyond that you'll probably have to dig around yourself to find the answers (as opposed to, encouraging other people to look it up so you don't have to, which I don't necessarily think you are doing at this point, but you should expect to have to find some of these yourself eventually).
If this list is just going to be for personal use then there wouldn't really be a place for it on the boards, we don't really have a place for just posting personal things since it is a public board typically meant for public discussion. But if its a list you intend to make a public guide of some sort you might be able to put that in CS discussion. At which point it would be fine to use that thread to enlist help from anyone else who wants to help look up these things.
