is the new pup raires maybe?

100% think this is Celozon's pup.

1. Has at least one animal friend - the shadowy animal
2. Would use camouflage to fight
3. Would travel through a dense jungle-y area because it would fit the aesthetic
4. The base color is one of the darkest colors on the palette
5. The pixel style fits in with Celozon's previous staff pets:

oooh pixel kid! ^^

So pretty, wow!

Love it! And I’m thinking Celozon made this cutie

@GRIS - there are 33 total staff pups this year

MUSHROOOOOOOOOOMS, Celozon it's got to totally be yours right?

[Celozon]

Yup, tonights pup is mine. I figured it would be pretty obvious since not many of us do pixel ouo/





I don't normally name mine but feel free to name them yourself.

I had a bit of a tough time deciding what I wanted to do for this pallet, and eventually settled on this. This whole design idea was not something I've ever done before, so I probably worked on this twice as long just trying to make it exactly right. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I'm glad you all like it!

I did briefly mention in the discord, but not as an official hint so I never posted it here, that technically it was sort of inspired by a game (someone asked if it was based off of a game since I tend to do pixel). And yes, I did get some inspiration from the Waterfall location in Undertale! Thats my absolute favorite location in the game and while I was messing around with ideas I realized the pallet fit it very well and went with it <3

I was hoping someone would put together all the hints, but alas. I'll let you all know what they mean though.



"My pup went in an unexpected direction this year, its not something I normally do."


• I do not do backgrounds, or scenery, of any kind. Ever. Ah, I am kinda not very good at it and I really just do animals and thats it. So doing this was a very new experience for me and I wanted to hint at that. (I even tried to help with this oekaki by mentioning there I never do that, but I don't think anyone caught it)


Favorite's group pets all have at least one mushroom/fungi on them


• ie they got mushrooms on them. But also, mushrooms grow in grass...teen had grass on them. Little bit of a leap there, but mostly hinted at the nature theme that can be seen with the teen.


Signature pet. (Already confirmed that croc plushie is not part of the hint itself.)


• I already had this plushie dressed up in clothing from a previous year, but I added in the background, moss, grass mushrooms, rocks, and firefly. I thought that one was very obvious with the firefly but not sure anyone noticed that aha.


The following should all be self-explanatory. Basically hinting at a earthy/nature themed pet.

Answered Questions:
hmm is your pup closely related to another animal? :o
They are not related to another animal themself, but they do have at least one animal friend.

What’s the one (or more?) thing your pup would bring to a deserted island?
Probably fresh water or something to filter water with.

How does your pup defend itself from predators?
Camouflage. Not really the type to fight.

Which natural element would your pups most likely belong to??
Definitely earth.

There's a piece of yummy food at the end of a tunnel and there are 3 ways to get to it.
1. Would your pup travel through a dense, jungly undergrowth-like tunnel with lots of vines and plants and trees?...
The first one! Very aesthetic.



And thanks to everyone who participated in the hints! I can''t say I'm an especially great hint giver but some of you got very close. <3

I be mistaken...

Still catching up with the thread, still no claim for yesterdays' dog then?

Ad no word from Lacuna about the mermaid pup either?

[axelandria]

i am in LOVE with today's growth! someone had pointed out that it reminded them of the waterfall scene in undertale, and when Celozon confirmed it, i got so excited! that is also my favourite part of the game, it's just so pretty. this pup definitely does it justice, thankyou Celozon <3
