Vampiric
I am dead set that this one is Vampiric. The tomagatchi screams the 90s. Nearly all of their staff pets have some sort of hairstyle, and this one is no exception. It feels super similar to the 2016 dog, esp the first pup stage

Straight up I agree, I posted some pages back but Vampiric has yet to accept/deny answer for their crimes keeping us in suspense XD I agree with the hair, I feel the little curl on top just screams vampirics style to me.

it could be a 'mammal' if based on a qilin? but you said no magical powers, i think? aaaaaaaaaaaa ok i'm done my brain is begging for mercy

Y'know... Qilin isn't the thing, but keep going in that direction, it's the best one I've seen so far.

Honestly, at this point, i'm just waiting for it to be revealed that the flame pup is yours. I mean it makes sense to me style wise, and you've basically denied ever other one (besides the fish one) So i mean yeah.

I think vampiric usually waits until their pup is grown up to claim it??? based on very fogged up memories I have of past years-
I think it's funny cause we're basically divided between 'team beanie' vs 'team tamagotchi' for vamp's. (i'm team beanie myself)

Y'know... Qilin isn't the thing, but keep going in that direction, it's the best one I've seen so far.

yea yea!! back when i suggested the princess pup it was cause I thought a 'mammal' could mean a 'human', but when I had my epiphany moment I was like "wait a second, a fantasy animal can also be a 'mammal'!!" so i went the mythical animal route x'D
but I have no idea if it's an actual mythical animal or if it's a creature you made up! it's been hard to think of an mythical animal that wouldn't have magical powers :0

EDIT: ok, i have a question for u Raire! when you said you don't have an water/ocean themed pup did you mean it's not themed after water itself, or that it isn't based on a creature that could live underwater?

Some more questions for the staff :

What color are your pups toes? (final stage)
Is your pup inspired by mythology?
What would your pups favorite song be?
What is your pups favorite food?

Not green
Nope!
Team Me - Into the Wild
Mushrooms

If we guess a pup, will you still be denying/confirming? just wanna know if i even have a chance at getting this.. i mean there are OBV only two choices for yours xD... but still

AND i have a question for you.... does your pup have any props? (something that's not necessarily a lineart edit, but is an extra little thing... ie a flower, or a fish... *grins*)

Okay, the numbers we have for Lacuna are as follows:
10th staff pup
15 years together
10th wedding anniversary
27 is too many

10th wedding anniversary + 15 years together = 25 days (which is less than 27 [aka when the pup grows, perhaps?])
10th wedding anniversary + 10th staff pup = 20 days (again, when the pup grows? [seems too far away from 27 to be significant])

Lacuna, am I correct in guessing that the math you want us to do is to figure out when your pup grows to its final stage?

Edit:

The math was not meant to be about which day it grows. The answer to what 27 is referring to is in the original post where I said 27, and I think that will help you figure things out. I’ll see what you come up with before giving more hints. and you are missing a number of somethings (not including this one)

I'm still trying to figure out the 27 thing so I have nothing more to say on the matter, but I know that the eyes and nose of the pup are "something", which would equal 2 "somethings". Does anyone else have anything they'd like to add?

Edit: Lacuna said "/something/" on page 28 as well, so perhaps we're at a total of 3 "somethings"? i don't know if that something was emphasized for any particular reason

Edit: catmother just counted the flowers on the fully-grown flower pup and found that it had 27 flowers on it. "27 is too many" must imply Lacuna's pup has flowers but not 27 of them.

Don’t stop the count.

Also think outside the pot.

This puppy for Winx


Has lineart edits

The hints Likes the sunrise / May have a tool/instrument, "[d]epends what counts as a tool or instrument I suppose" I feel this can refer to the flower growing next to the pup; Same with the hints of Would prefer to stay on the ground & Would like to visit "the Danish countryside in the summer."

-Would enjoy 90's, but would love 70's
Definitely has a 70s vibe to them

Does not include scales of any kind; check. so far.

Bundles up at night in case it gets chilly; I don't think daisies thrive in cold weather

Goes to bed early, wakes with the sun; More flower hints; Photosynthesis, etc. Same with the seasons Prefers Spring and Summer

Favorite book is The Secret Life of Bees; Bees are pollinators

Is unblanketed by Night 4; Check

Didn't work with other staff, but pup does share similar themes with others -- There are a few flower/earthy themed pets


RAIRE


Dunno if this pup has been denied yet but

Has lineart edits; Check

"doesn't have any bunny or bird friends"; Well they are wearing a crown, and the 'Disney Princess' Stereotype would have you believe that this 'Royal' Pup would have woodland animal friends.

When asked if inspired by a specific animal: "I wouldn't say... animal..."
Mostly eats protein, includes "I guess 'salad' from time to time."
Is way too heavy for wings
Silly with friends, serious when alone
..... .... ....... ...... Ok, I might be going off base here but I get Beauty and The Beast Vibes; "Wouldn't Say Animal" Well the beast is more than one animal and isn't actually an animal, eats a lot of protein and would be too heavy for wings.

Very light nose; check

"This year's pup doesn't have many friends, but it does greet Koikee's pup whenever it seems them." When you wish upon a Star Vibes

No intentional shared themes with other pups, but incidentally has a "cousin" this year; Tamagotchi Pup has hair as well??

idk I'm probably wrong but thought I'd throw a guess out there.

I'm not getting into all this counting xD... i'm just gonna let ya'll do it, it's too complicated for me rn. Normally i love puzzles... but this one requires searching back through posts, and that's just no rn lol. I'm tired of doing that. Hmmm i wonder who else i can tackle instead.... *eyes Raire*
