-Perhaps it is not a naturally-feathered animal?

You might be onto something!

I personally am curious if you can confirm//deny the idea that it's dinosaur related?

But here we go with mythicals
- Griffon
- Peryton
- Cockatrice
- Hippalectryton
- Hippogrif
- Sarabha
- Longma
- Enfield
- Wolpertinger
- Calygreyhound
- Fenghuang

Nope not dinosaur related, sorry!

[Scottish9]

do we have any links to Swiftalu's potential pups?

[bookshelf]

Ahh I seriously hope Dia's pup grows tonight, pumpernickel is adorable and will be so cute all grown up <3

[evilpineapples]

so just wondering, when you're talking about feathers, are you talking about feathers in a sense other than the feathers that come from birds or are you saying your pup doesn't follow a theme of birds?

I'm talking in the sense of other than feathers that come from birds. It does refer to something but no one has figured it out yet as far as I can tell.

Would you maybe be referencing a Feather Board? Since you left us a hint in Java code...



or something like this...https://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2016/03/feather-a-fast-on-disk-format-for-data-frames-for-r-and-python-powered-by-apache-arrow/

im not sure how it would relate to a pet though


OR, maybe you're referring to a headdress? or something stuffed maybe, as feathers are used for pillows and comforters and such

[freewater]

So, if I'm reading hints, denials, and claims, here are the options for Swift's pups (this is just in order of growth):


Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!

Pet's name: Day 5
Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!

Pet's name: Day 7
Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!

Pet's name: Day 8
Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!
**the last 2 if the adult has the tail edit**

Additionally, if the hint about her staff Pet not having a basic tail only referred to the adult, and not the pup, then we also have:

Pet's name: Day 9
Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!-if adult has edits

Pet's name: Day 7
Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!

Pet's name: Day 5
Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!

Pet's name: Day 6
Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!


**takes deep breath and sits down**

TIME FOR! whose doggo is Metallic Dragon's!


i think this bear dude may be because of all the bear puns (buns?)
bears like honey, which may refer to the bee "buzz off" puns "do the honey bee video"
the tail and ear edits may be in adult stage

so it either this bear or this dude


Maybe the bear puns are trolls
based of her badger "heart rat"
has edited tail *cough no tail cough*
honey badgers like honey, maybe thats the explanation for the bee puns.

also they aren't denied on the chart soo

did i get anything right?

[heresalittlefaith]

-Perhaps it is not a naturally-feathered animal?

You might be onto something!

So, it is based off an animal, right?

[Shobits]

"Feathers are fun; for scarves, wings, pens, etc. What else could there be...?"

Pillows, coats, feather dusters, tickling....

Then again, a non bird animal that has wings but is not a well known mythical... or is it a mythical at all? I'm suddenly thinking of my favorite Transformer from Beast Wars, the wolf/eagle, Silverbolt:

- Wow CGI has come a loooong way...
