Kalons [ka·lon] are generally long-furred omnivorous creatures similar in body structure to fossa. These eupleridae vary in size from a house cat to a full-grown liger. They are red blooded, viviparous, and highly protective of their young until the offspring reaches maturity. Their paws are dexterous for grasping food, climbing trees, and to groom one another. The diet of a Kalon tends to consist of fruits, nuts, fish, and insects although some are also known to eat other meat.
A unique trait specific to the species is a shining, flexible iridescent material found on their tails used mostly for identification and showing off which is helpful when spotting another Kalon from afar. The shine can be compared to a hummingbird or snake’s natural iridescence, and this shimmering association to their own kind has led to many Kalons hoarding shiny or colorful objects they come across. They also tend to create close bonds with fellow species members, especially those within a family unit. They communicate through a series of chatters and growls, each succession of noises unique to form a sort of language. These creatures are active both during the day and the night cycles usually spending time napping in the sunlight or hunting prey after dark.
Monitored in forests across the globe for years, these animals have recently been declared naturally tame as well as sapient. Scientists have urged the general population to consider adopting Kalons for further study into their aptitude. Their intelligence has been called similar to that of dolphins.
Human interference with the species, such as radiation or their sensitivity to airwaves, has caused hundreds of these creatures to form harmless mutations. These genetic transformations vary greatly such as additional limbs, excessive fur growth, and even glowing body parts. The most elusive Kalons are known as legends that walk the earth capable of possessing wings or transparency.

[ Strikes & Bans List ]
✦ Users banned from the Kalon species may not interact with any Kalon threads or the Kalon discord server, including but not limited to trying out for new adopts or readoptions, applying for breedings, or participating in events. Banned users may not obtain new Kalons, grow kits, trade Kalons, or use MYO slots. Banned users may also not take any commissions involving Kalons.
✦ Users who repeatedly break rules in the Kalon discord server may be banned temporarily or permanently from the server, without being banned from the species entirely.
✦ The Kalon species reserves the right to strike or ban any user via majority Kalon staff vote in accordance with the assessed severity of the situation.
✦ Users are usually given three strikes before a complete ban. Occasionally for offenses great enough, users may be banned before being given any strikes.
✦ Kalons of banned users may be readopted based on the severity of the case. This usually occurs in cases where the Staff is concerned banned users may scam others with sales of their Kalons.

✦ Occasionally if an artist feels entries for Main Adopt Kalon competitions that did not win are deserving of recognition, that artist will award honorable mentions, colloquially known as HMs. Users who have accumulated enough HMs may trade them in for MYO slots and edit items.
✦ Artists are not required to give out HMs for every competition.
✦ HMs may be redeemed in the Kalon Shop.
✦ Rates for HM rewards are as follows:
✦ 10 HMs = Standard MYO
✦ 15 HMs = Common MYO
✦ 20 HMs = Uncommon MYO
✦ 35 HMs = One Rare MYO
✦ 50 HMs = Unlimited Rare MYO
✦ 90 HMs = One Legendary MYO
✦ 5 HMs = Standard Edit
✦ 10 HMs = Common Edit
✦ 15 HMs = Uncommon Edit
✦ 20 HMs = Rare Edit
✦ 75 HMs = Legendary Edits
