For eons humans have walked side by side with wolves, they have been constant companions, protectors, and fellow hunters. Time and time again we breed the most favorable of these majestic beasts, creating unique hounds more suited for the task at hand. Some better at tracking scent, others a stronger bite, still others with great height. We shape them and mold them to fit into the purposes for which we desire. The Puxie is a breed developed not for hunting, or fighting, or guarding. No this is not a fierce creature at all, thought it would claim far different if it could speak. Barely a foot tall, these balls of fluff were bred for one thing, and one thing only. To be adorable. With thick, fluffy double coats and large expressive eyes, the Puxie endears itself to others with its cute round face and petite frame. Highly social, they bond quickly to humans, and demand constant attention. They’re intelligent, but rather headstrong, leading to some difficulty in training. However given encouragement and reward, can be taught a multitude of tricks, and with their active natures, love to show them off! However as sweet as they are, these dogs are far from perfect. A few defects are still deeply ingrained within the breed. Due to the size and shape of their head, breeding is very difficult. Often painful, and even deadly, females are usually only bred once due to these risks. Following this, the weak muscles of their face can result in an eye popping out of its orbit. So take care in hugging your Puxie, and do not allow very young children to play with them, as their delicate forms can be easily broken in the rough-housing small children are known for. Highly intelligent and social, they demand constant entertainment. If you do not tend to them often, a Puxie will often find ways to play itself, resulting in many chewed up shoes and torn up gardens. Its highly advised to buy them in pairs because of this, as the two will play and keep each other company when they cannot settle in your lap. Puxies are a very vocal breed, hosting a wide range of yips, barks, howls, and grumbles. Some might even assume the tiny dogs are trying to speak back to you! However if not properly trained, these tiny puffs can become noisy little terrors that will never be quiet. But, if properly tended, they can serve as wonderful alert dogs, raising the alarm when danger enters the home and informing family of an intruder.. as well as larger household dogs with bigger teeth. Despite not being an ideal guard dog, these little pups would tell you they’re the biggest, baddest hound around. They can and will gladly throw themselves into a fight if allowed to, resulting in messy death and easy injury, so take care to teach your Puxie to heel while its young! Not only will they throw themselves into the jaws of death, but into bowls of food. Puxies are gluttons, and will not stop eating. If given an endless amount of food, a Puxie will easily eat itself to death within a few hours, so maintain a proper diet, and be careful of too many treats! Though a few table scraps now and again couldn’t hurt. Puxies come in two varieties, the common full tail that will curl over their back, or the rarer puff tail that is only an inch or so of wiggly fluff. There is also the common brown eyes, or the uncommon blue. Puxies also come in a fairly sized range of colors, and these are just a few; White and Black: Seal and Golden Tricolor and Silver: and Marble-Coated: A note on marble coats, is that any color can be a marble. But not every color can be a solid. Ginger and Blue are coat colors exclusive to the marble pattern of Puxie. This means you could have a Seal Marble, or a Black Marble. But you could never have a Blue Tricolor, or a solid Ginger. There is also the sad fact that most Puxies born solid white, are born deaf. So take care when selecting a white Puxie, and check to see it responds to your voice. Pros: Tiny, can fit two in your lap very easily Fluffy, you could just die. Very social, bond to humans very easily and love them Intelligent, they can be taught lots of fun tricks Vocal, can become great alert dogs Cons: White ones are usually deaf They're difficult to breed They often have eye problems because of their skull shape Need constant attention or a companion Glutton, so you have to be careful of their diet or they'll overeat Napoleon Complex, think they are bigger than they are Mischievous, keep them busy, or be ready to lose your shoes. Vocal, they will yap at just about anything, or even nothing OOC Note: For the time being the breed will be exclusive to my character, at least until more breeding pairs are sold. If you have a male and female Puxie, feel free to breed them and sell puppies! They will be represented by a renamed wool-block in-game, since they are too small to use a wolf as their representation.

Lawl, thing is, my horse was still just a normal horse. There was nothing special about it. It was not giant sized, it was not magical, it was not relative to one area. It was a normal horse created via special breeding. It was an animal created in RP through RP traits by the horses brought to me. Nor do I care or claim that you have ripped anything off. All I said is this is what it looks like to me. Those are my personal thoughts. I personally disapprove of adding more when there is already excess. Once again, all my views are personal. If other people and the lore team support it, that's their view. Also, Orcs have a legitimate reason for their big bulky mounts. Normal horses and creatures cannot bear their girth. Other than the little mustang that carried Urara in her battle with the sand-worm-thing-whos-name-I-can't-remember, I literally have never heard of an orc riding a horse that made sense. Not a one. Orcs that ride normal horses, in my opinion, are overpowering those animals since their backs cannot properly support that amount of weight. Not to mention the tempers of horses don't fit orcish lifestyle whatsoever. In the case of wood elves, they have creatures already available that make more sense for them in MY PERSONAL OPINION, that aren't as garish as a giant, antlered, crystal cat. I get you like cats. Cats are awesome. Freakishly awesome. I have literally never lived a day in my life that I didn't have one or two in my house, they are a factor of my perception of a complete home. However I just look at a giant, antlered, crystal cat.. and I don't see the point of it. I'm all for adding flavor to the world and expanding it. I'm all for adding mythos, mystery, and fantasy. But I literally don't see the point in the cat. The flowers? Freakin cool. I like the flowers. Keep the flowers. Maybe if the flowers grew exclusively in a hidden away forest that was basically made of crystal, where every animal is crystal in this freaky, sparkly mini-biome within itself? That would be cool. If the flowers and animals took over Aatgaard or whatever you call it and became a sort of subtle, invasive, natural sort of antag. That would be cool. Better than a stupid fracking plague. The idea of a slow, ever nearing swath of crystal that basically encased every living thing into a twisted crystalline form of medusa's garden? Pretty neato. Crystal cats out of left field that suddenly belong to some random girl, that weren't just noticed in the wild and become this fantastic thing before someone finally decides 'Hey I wonder if i can put a collar on that'? I'm not a fan. Sorry.

Oh god, now I remember! This thing looks like a shaven, two tailed version of the celinox from Subeta!

I don't see the reason for this things creation, like at all. I mean it's kind of cute, but looking at it makes me think of a neopet. And to be honest its too similar to Crystal Beast Amythst Cat from Yugioh for me to not see it in that light.. It falls too easily into various tropes, not to mention it looks like somethign from a DnD Campaign mixed with sailor moon.. Dungeons and Dragons is chock full of these. Xorn, Xaren, and Crysmal anyone? I mean yeah it would be fantastic as a monster from the Elemental Plane of Earth. I'd love to put my barbarian against it, would be an interesting battle to see. Otherwise? I personally don't see what this adds to the world at all. Edit: I kind of want to see this in a nekomata form.. it would look incredible in Shin Megami Tenshi: IMAGINE except they already have a handful of both crystal and cat monsters.

Actually, most creatures that live in mountains don't have long hair. Mountain lions, bighorn sheep, boars, elk, moose, hares, mice, black and brown bears. All these animals do not sport long fluffy coats, but short and dense coats that barely ever pass a finger depth in length. Rarely even reaching two inches. A perfect example is actually boars. Look at their coats.They aren't fluffy at all! They have very short, wiry coats that clutch to their bodies. They don't rely on their coats at all for protection from the winter. They in fact, like a large majority of animals, rely on fat and muscle in order to protect them from the elements. Other animals who also live in regions like this rely on a combination of fat and exceedingly short, dense, fluffy undercoats that rarely ever pass a half inch in length, as a built in insulator from he cold. It basically traps their body heat against them allowing for more heat retention, thus they are not cold. Now if we look at dogs specifically? The same thing applies. Dogs that actually live in these cold regions do not sport long coats. The St. Bernard, Burmese Mountain Dog, and Great Pyrenees all sport thick, dense coats to trap warm air against their skins in order to keep them warm. Even the Caucasian mountain dog, a breed that is known to be fluffy as can be, bred to live comfortably outside in Russian winters, do not have long fur. They look poofy as can be, but once again their coats do not exceed two inches. This is because long coats are a damn death sentence in the snow. I doubt you've ever had long hair and been out in the snow, but let me tell you this. It sucks. It sucks so much. Long hair does not trap warmth, it just collects snow into annoying, soggy pellets that cause those luscious locks to freeze. It soaks your skin and sucks away all your radiating body heat. This is exactly why mountain creatures have short dense hair. The snow doesn't form the pellets of doom that would sap away their precious body heat and allow hypothermia to settle in like you laid out a damn red carpet. No, they get short dense fur that allows the snow to settle atop it and then fall off with a shake as they stand there proud and majestic, looking down at your stupid self with your fritzy long hair shivering in your stupid North Face jacket like a putz. TL;DR: Things that live in the mountains have pixie cuts.
