guidelines

All faunids from this event will be recolored on a selection of event-exclusive bases.

A majority of this event will be hosted here on Faunids.com !

You do not need to own the faunid you use, but you must have permission.

All creatives made during this event must be made by the submitter. Collaborations are allowed but only count toward a single user- not all collaborators.

You cannot send Pebbles (Event exclusive currency) to other users.

Summer Camp lasts one whole month- and in that month you will be able to enter 5 prompts/activities with a faunid.With each prompt submission, you will receive Pebbles, a currency exclusive to this event.
This currency can be spent in the event's store! We will also have 4 raffle adoptables for this month that you can enter for by participating in all the prompts! They will be revealed at the mid month mark.

PROMPT #1: CAMP APPLICATION

In order to participate in our camp, I need to get to know you! So fill out an application and let's get started!

June 2025 Newsletter

Posted 2 weeks ago :: Last edited 2 weeks ago by Deertush

June 2025 Newsletter

Introducing our newest development from Faunids Staff: The Community Newsletter!

These newsletters will generally be posted sometime during the last week of each month.

The purpose of these newsletters is to keep our community informed about site updates, upcoming events, official artist commission openings, new user guides, highlight different bits and pieces of our species, and build on community engagement. 

Thank you to everyone who filled out our newsletter feedback form. The content of these newsletters will vary by month. The focus of June's newsletter is to introduce the concept on our host website with the types of information you might see here so we can continue to build on this in upcoming months.

June Adopt Appreciation:

Thank you to the artists who created some wonderful adoptables for the month of June!

---------------------------------

Atalav.com Updates:

  • Avestriches have had a new image added (made by Necrologia)!
  • Many plants from the previous website have been transferred onto the new Flora and Fauna page
  • Most Fauna have had their descriptions and information updated.
  • Shadowcats have a new main image.
  • Some new animals have been added!
  • Most Location pages have had lore updates and additional information added
  • A "Faun Re-reference Guidelines" page has been started but is incomplete.
  • Fixed a misaligned form on the fawning page
  • Fixed typo on Vinnde world page
  • Added Customs page for ModernBeatnik, Necro, and Goryteeth.

Upcoming Plans:

We have made a change in the dropdown system on [ATALAV]. There are now two dropdown menus. ‘World Lore’ now includes all informational pages about the universe that Faunids live in (such as geography, the Cervidic runes system, flora & fauna). The second dropdown menu, ‘About Faunids’, includes information specific to Faunids (such as Faunid subspecies, corruption, and body modifications). 


We plan to work on several guides that our users can use as they develop their Faunids as characters. Some of those guides include: Ear cropping, shaving/trimming, and freeze branding. These guides will be introduced over time and, when finished, will be announced in our monthly newsletter.

 

---------------------------------

Artist Commission Statuses:

Goryteeth will be opening for commission in July.

Necrologia MAY open for 2-3 commissions in the latter half of July.

Deertush will open for single view cutesy comms in July.


Please wait for official announcements before sending commission requests to artists!

 

---------------------------------

Faunids.com Updates:

To sign up for a Faunids account, message Tech (becomelost on Discord) or Jack (jaquiri on Discord) for an invite code. Once you have that, you can register on the sign-up page.

You can trade Faunids on-site without needing a staff member! As long as the user you're trading with has a Faunids username, you can follow this guide to transfer characters:



More Faunids.Com Updates

  • Staff Responsibilities page has been added
  • Modifier tokens now have example images and usage information HERE.
  • Images added for the following traits:

---------------------------------

Trait Feature:

You may have noticed that most traits have images on the trait masterlist. These aren't just for show! Trait images are guidelines that show how small or short (green) and tall or long (blue) that trait can generally be. You can use this to help you with your age-ups and re-references.


This month’s trait is Feather Mohawk vs Feather Hair vs Hair (Feathered) vs Hair!


Feather mohawk is a light and fluffy hair-like trait comprised of downy feathers. It is always fluffy unless slicked back with product. It does not reach shoulder length.

Feather hair is a relatively new trait to our never ending list of possibilities. It is “hair” fully composed of long and flexible feathers. There is no actual hair or fur in this trait.The feathers in this trait are not downy and must appear like full feathers.

Hair (Feathered) acts and behaves just like the Hair trait.However, multiple feathers are visible hidden amongst the hair. Feathers cannot make up the majority of this trait.

Hair is simply hair. A long type of fur that originates from the top of the head.

Here are some faunids that showcase these traits to current guideline standards!

Springtide Celebration 2025 [Ended]

Posted 3 months ago :: Last edited 2 months ago by BecomeLost

Welcome to Springtide!

You made it just in time, traveler! ​Lavandul is known for our agricultural exports, our biggest specialty being lupine flowers and other fragrants. However, we're also known for our unique wildlife who love to eat our crops. Convenient isn't it?​ Of course, we don't want to harm these creatures... but their population still needs to be monitored. We were hoping that you could go and catch some of these lapines and chimebirds and bring them back here to be adopted out to potential adopters! They're very popular as companions recently.​ The weirdest coincidence has been happening as of late with these adopters though. I've noticed that when a creature is brought in, an adopter with remarkable similarities comes in soon after.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
https://www.atalav.com/events/springtide

Every other day, a preview of one adoptable will be posted (atalav.com, faunids.com, and discord). Users are able to enter to adopt the design. After 48 hours, the winner will be rolled and the full design will be published! There is a total of 15 adopts this year.

-----------------------------------------

(NEW in 2025!)

Every other day (opposite from adoptables), you will be able to enter to win a token! You will have to enter per individual day with the token's number. Similar to the adoptables, the winner will be rolled every 48 hours.

-----------------------------------------

(RETURNING in 2025!)

Custom lapines and chimebirds are back for this year! View the bottom of the atalav.com page to submit a form for a companion commission.

Cervidic Runes [LORE ANNOUNCEMENT]

Posted 4 months ago :: Last edited 4 months ago by MUTT
Runes! Let's talk runes! I'm dying to talk about runes. Cervidic Runes, to be exact. 

Atlavian history is filled with a rich culture of folklore and creative expression, and so I have made it my life's mission to collect the symbols you might come across anywhere in our world.

Cervidic Runes are yours to play with. They can be combined or shaped into new meanings. You're likely to see runes in many places: over a sign post, on a Faun's treasured items, or as a warning of danger ahead. They are meant to connect Faunids to their world in a meaningful way, and you should absolutely use them as you consider how they might fit into your lives! 

A copy of my notes can be read by any Faunid bold enough to visit their local library. 

To the public! For free! 

 - Signed, Leonard the Librarian

December Advent - Hosted by MUTT

Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 6 months ago by BecomeLost
This year, some of my favorite little helpers made a box of special treats to share this winter season! They spent a lot of time baking, cooking, and… erm, decorating… their signature dishes to perfection, so they'd like us to celebrate each and every one of them on their own day!

This raffle is a set of 11 adopts on a unique base made by Deertush. The adopts include both anthros and quads, and were all designed by MUTT! Adopts will be rolled at 12pm CST each day.

On the final day, the 12th Faun designed by MUTT and GoryTeeth will be revealed. This design is not on-base and will be an auction.

Our friends even left us a calendar so we can plan ahead! Please fill out this Google form to enter.
