Kiparoos, known as kips for short, are a large, short-furred marsupial species similar to kangaroos which have evolved to have longer forelegs. They are native to deserts and barren grasslands, with some residing in sparse forests. Kiparoos are mainly herbivores and eat grass, leaves and flowers, or insects, but are equipped to eat other foods such as meat if needed. Uniquely enough, Kiparoos have waxy patches of skin over their face and body which allow them to retain water and stay hydrated in their hot and dry environments, along with psuedo horns at the top of their heads and plumes of fur at the shoulders that distinguish them from other animals. These are powerfully built creatures with strong tails and legs, large feet, and sharp claws on every toe. They vary greatly in size, with the largest being known to grow up to 110cm and weigh up to 200 pounds. In spite of their size and strength, they are docile and social animals that prefer to stick together in groups for safety and only fight if threatened.

- SPECIES RULES:
- Kiparoos are a closed species and you may not make without a MYO ticket
- Rule breaking will be typically be dealt with by warnings -> strikes (logged) -> bans. Bans may be temporary or permanent and will bar you from interacting with the community or using Kiparoo services in any form. Bans may be issued without any warning beforehand if severe cases call for it. Your adopts will not be revoked however, you'd simply be banned from the community and public services the species provides
- Do not harass anyone, spam, or go out of your way to make anyone uncomfortable. Guilt-tripping, begging, bullying, rudeness, being passive-aggressive or upfront, or just generally disrupting or being unkind to others all count
- Kips may be gifted, or traded for other Kiparoos, or kiparoo-specific items/unused MYO tickets. Main-adopt Kips from OTA's (offer to adopts) or Kips made from MYO's may be resold only for the currency they were purchased with, for no more than what they were originally bought for. Free main-adopts are not allowed to be sold for any form of currency.
- You can currently own up to 15 Kiparoos at once
- You can auto-buy one Kiparoo per week from auctions. This resets on Sundays, CS rollover and this limit doesn't apply to regular bidding auctions without auto-buys
- For paid adopts or auctions you will have 24 hours to send payment to the artist. Failure to pay within the timeframe will lose you the adopt and it will go to the next-highest bidder or be reauctioned. Forms have to be completely filled out at the time of posting and reserved posts that are edited later for paid adopts or auctions will not count
- Kiparoos can be any sexuality/gender/romanticism/etc. Only relationships involving Adult x Ungrown Kiparoos and/or relationships involving Kips that are related to each other are prohibited and also not allowed to breed
- Kiparoos cannot be co-owned
CUSTOMS & MYO'S: - With the use of a MYO ticket, you can make the custom with full control of the design, colors etc as long as it follows species rules and the traits list accordingly to the rarity of the ticket
- Any community member can make the custom, including yourself or anyone else you find that is willing
- Remember to keep the custom covered or keep a "fake" sign on it until a staff member approves it, and make sure to list all traits or edits when you're done!
- With permission of the artist, artist entries can be claimed and made into official Kips with the corresponding MYO ticket, following the same process as regular customs
- You will only be added to the customs thread when there is a valid MYO ticket for you in the bank
- MYO's are allowed to be custom-lined
