What is it?

This little creature is called a Tanugi. They are a species classified as a mustelid, related to weasels, ferrets, wolverines, and the like. They are fully domesticated, friendly, and high in genetic diversity.
Here are this Adoptable Center you are able to adopt your very own Tanugies!

Tell me more!

You can adopt a Tanugi by submitting a form on it's page and fulfilling the requirements stated by the artist. The artist will select the winner. If you don't win the Tanugi then do not be disheartened, there are many more and you will find the right one for you!

Before you do anything, though, you'll need to read the rules!
Rules

1. No Art Theft

Do not steal species, species-related art, or use the art/writing/form coding of others when trying out for a Tanugi. Art theft will result in a ban from the species.
2. Respect Everyone

You are expected to behavior maturely and respect everyone, including other contestants for Tanugies. Staff are the authorities and must be respected as such.
3. No reselling/sending to adoption agencies

If you no longer wish to keep a Tanugi then please alert the original artist so that it can be placed back up for adoption. You cannot trade your Tanugi for other species or sell it for any form of currency.
4. No inappropriate use of Tanugi

You may not use Tanugi as your fursona or alter their species. You may not alter their design without express permission from the artist.
5. On Gifting

You may gift a Tanugi to someone else, but you must first have received permission from the original artist. You may not gift a Tanugi to a user who does not have a CS account.
6. Do not beg

Do not beg or ask for staff positions, Tanugies, etc. If there has not been a new Tanugi for a while then please just be patient and wait for one.
7. Adoption Limit

There is currently no limit on the number of Tanugies you may own, just don't be greedy about it.
8. Ask if you have questions

If you have questions then please post! Never feel afraid to ask.

Description

The Tanugi is a rather unusual mustelid. They are unique in that they have 6 functional limbs. Like most mustelids they are plantigrade, walking on their whole foot as opposed to just the toes. The tail is short-medium in length and bushy. A very thick mane is formed around the neck, and is able to "bristle" out when threatened, making the Tanugi appear much larger. While there are several ear variations, in general Tanugi ears are narrow and heavily furred, though bare of fur on the inside. Their eyes are large and reflective, being designed for night-time vision as Tanugies are naturally nocturnal. Tanugies have very powerful jaws capable of tearing through meat that has been frozen solid.

Rarities*

Common: natural colors for fur, markings, and eyes, short and long ears, snaggle or irregular teeth
Uncommon: unnatural colors for fur, markings, and eyes, edits to ear shape, bangs/fringes/the longer parts of the fur, more fur, "high whites" (large areas covered by white, includes albinism), very light colors (lilac, beige, etc)
Rare: "rex" (curly hair), shorter tails, bright unnatural colors
Very Rare: teeth not showing, extra tails or ears, missing limbs (though never less than five legs are allowed), short hair, alterations to body shape caused by genetic alterations or bone deformation (curved spines, dwarfism, missing limbs, etc)
Near Impossible: horns, wings, bioluminescence, powers and abilities
