What’s a Sprigon?
Sprigons are magical creatures that exist undiscovered in the remote reaches of modern day Earth. From the upper atmosphere to the darkest depths of the oceans, these creatures have adapted to hide and survive in nearly any environment. In fact, not only do they survive, but they seem to be able to manipulate their habitat magically in order to do so. Sky Sprigons, for instance, have the power to influence the weather, while Water Sprigons have sway over currents and tides.
Their most notable feature is certainly their tail, which can reach lengths of up to 6x that of their body. While moving they are often mistaken for long-bodied creatures like serpents or dragons, when in fact their actual body is quite stocky and square. The Sprigon’s tail is the source of its magic and is used in nearly every aspect of its life; so far, Sprigons have been noted to fly, swim at great speeds, and even tunnel into the ground.
These creatures are still considered Cryptids by the general public, and even the Cryptozoologists who study them know very little. It is suspected that Sprigons of different elements may breed to create new elements, so the number of different Sprigon elements is entirely unknown.

Announcements and Events

V .2 is here!
V.2 brings new lineart, the Water and Earth Elements, new traits, and soon the nursery and breeding!
-The linearts are all now more user friendly and more easily editable! There are lots of folders to navigate and some erasing may be required for best coloring results, but overall I think its a big improvement over the old lines!
-The Earth and Water Elements now have lineart and their own unique traits! New unique traits have also been added for the Sky Element. I'm still working on batch lineart for Earth and Water.
-Nursery lineart has been added, and the nursery will open after I figure out how I'd like to run it!

✧I'm still looking for staff! If you're active and interested in being a species Moderator/Archivist, PM me!
✧Artist tryouts have been moved to the new lines!

Getting Started

How do I get a Sprigon?
Getting your first Sprigon is easy! You may choose to create your own starter Sprigon by following the steps below, or you can try out for any adopts that are posted by staff.

To claim your Starter MYO Ticket, simply complete the following steps;

1. Create a personal archive for your Sprigons! To create an archive, just create a space where you can keep track of all the Sprigons you own; this could simply be a Toyhou.se folder, a thread in the character storage forum, or your personal character storage website. You don't have to currently own a Sprigon in order to create an archive.
2. Fill out the 'Personal Archive' form in the Sprigons 'Archive' thread
3. Create your Starter MYO! Starter MYOs are Standard tier, meaning that only NR trait edits may be added. You may, however, use add-on items to add common or above traits to your starter!
4. Fill out the 'Claiming my Starter MYO!' form in the Sprigons 'MYO' thread.

All rules are to be followed not only here on CS, but on any platform concerning Sprigons. These rules are in place to ensure that Sprigons remains a friendly and safe community for everyone. Failure to follow these rules will result in up to three warnings and eventually a complete ban from the community and species.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

General Rules

please follow all of the Chicken Smoothie site rules, especially the code of conduct!

1. Please keep all discussions and general behavior clean and PG13.
2. Bullying, harassment, begging/guilt tripping, hateful rhetoric and unnecessary aggression will not be tolerated.
3. Keep discussions related to the species unless in a designated forum or chat. Not Sprigon-related discourse must still follow the above rules.
4. Adding to the above, any non-Sprigon chat must be kept lighthearted - heavy and uncomfortable real life topics should not be brought up or discussed in public chat.
5. Be kind and respectful to others, including staff.
6. If you have had an incident you need to report, please follow the guidelines for reporting listed below.
7. Do not mini-mod; allow staff to handle questions and incidents.

Species/Design Rules
small note: rules are subject to be added or changed as the species grows. If you have any questions, feel free to PM a member of staff.

1. Sprigons is a closed species; only staff members may create official adoptables.
2. Because Sprigons is a closed species, users may not use the base in order to create pre-made designs; however, they may commission MYO designs for other users.
3. Sprigon ownership is tracked via the archive; do not attempt to claim a Sprigon that you do not own.
4. Sprigons may be transferred between owners via trades, gifting, and purchase via on or off-site currency; any sort of transfer must be reported with the appropriate form on the archive thread, and then approved by staff.
5. Sprigons may not be sold for more than they were purchased for, and Sprigons purchased with virtual currency may not be sold for real currency.
6. Sprigons that were acquired for free may not be sold, but may be traded or gifted freely.
7. There is currently no limit on the number of Sprigons that may be owned.
8. You may use copyrighted characters or popular culture as inspiration for a Sprigon design, but it must be a unique and original design.
9. Once the Off-Oekaki base and thread are running, you may create and own off-Oekaki Sprigons as long as they are documented properly and the official base is used.
