- You cannot use the pet's design as the costume; it must be wearing items.
- No costumes that are bloody, gory, or disturbing and no character cosplays from media that is not CS appropriate.
- It doesn't have to be a typical Halloween costume, they just need to be dressing up as something recognizable!
- The pet's costume should cover a good portion of their body, not just include a few accessories.
Sorry so hypothetically say I wanted to use the orange fox items and make a fox would using an orange pet break the first rule and count as using it's design as part of its costume? Or is that allowed? As I have a few pets dressed up as things where I've picked pets who's fur colour match the ears/tails/wings etc that I've added to them like pink pets wearing pink ears and pig noses
It is fine to use the pets design to aid the costume, but if the costume is only recognizable or looks complete because of the pet it was placed on that would be using the pets design as part of the costume.
The best way to test this is if you can put the exact same costume on a completely different pet and it still looks like a complete costume, then its all good. But if it only works on that specific pet than it would be using the pet's design as part of the costume.
What you describe sounds fine, though it can always depend on the exact costume, generally speaking just picking a fur color that matches usually won't be breaking that rule.
