💚 DOOPADOOS! 💚

★ What even is a Doopadoo?

A Doopadoo is a small, domesticated creature that closely resembles a sea slug with draconic features. They are very catlike in nature, and are roughly the size of housecats too!

They are known for producing a thick substance from their scales called Nectar. A Nectar's scent is unique to each Doopadoo, which can have an aromatherapy effect depending on the scent. Their Nectar is also rich in many vitamins and has unique flavors as well, so its also edible! Their necks can stretch out twice their body length.

★ Relationship with humans

Due to their Nectar being a great source of vitamins, humans have held Doopadoos in high regards as "man's vitamin friend". Doopadoos are commonly kept as pets, but are also no stranger to being trained for professional assistance in service. They can also be seen throughout stores, hospitals, nursing homes, farms, etc.

★ "Can I make a Doopadoo OC?"

YES!! Doopadoos are an open species— you do not have to ask for my permission to create one!

Currently there is no species reference sheet, and honestly I dont plan on creating stuff like rarity types or anything like that. There is also no roleplay group or masterlist to sign in order to own a Doopadoo. I do however plan on creating a reference sheet for this species' behaviors/body language (e.i. how it looks when aggressive, etc).

For now, I've made a small guide on how their bodies are generally shaped (average size):

All in all: create a Doopadoo how YOU'D like! 💚

A remake of the original species I made when I was like 13! The Iroids!! I love these guys

Now I don't actually expect anybody to make one but if you DO please:

Tag the post as #iroids (do this any time you post the character)

Tag me in your first post of the character

Credit me as the species creator (you only have to do this once)

This was fun and nostalgic to do :) I hope you like my silly guys

I've been having a ball working on my alien species!

This race is an open species so feel free to design your own!

You don't need to pay to use the species but I do have bases for sale on my KOFI if you want to support me!

Blog Information

Hello! Welcome to Open Species Catalog! This blog's purpose is to catalog and spread awareness of newer and lesser known original open species created by artists everywhere!

Please read this introduction post before asking any questions.

All information is below the cut!

[Last update: May 1st, 2024].

Questions you may have:

What is an open species?

-WikiFur's definition of open species is as follows: "Open species are species anyone can make, although some may require you to follow guideline(s) to be considered one."

This differs from closed species, which require permission from the species owner or payment to the species owner to create one.

Are semi-open species allowed?

-It depends. If someone needs direct permission* from you or a purchase** of some kind is required to make an OC of your species, your species does not qualify for this blog. *Permission to create an OC is not the same as design approval. If your species is very specific and requires design approval for it to follow your species' guidelines, then it can still qualify as long as the OC is free to create.

**Selling bases or adoptables for your own species DOES NOT count for this rule. This rule only applies to species that require a purchase to make an original character of the species.

Can I tag this blog to help boost my species?

-Yes! We will gladly boost your species!

Does my species have to be furry?

-Nope! They can be any kind of species you'd like! Humanoid, robot, object head, furry, etc.!

What kind of species will you not promote?

-We will refuse to promote any of the following: 1. Culturally insensitive/appropriative species. 2. Species that are solely NSFW focused. If your species is meant only or primarily for NSFW art/media, we will not promote it. 3. Closed species and semi-closed species. Semi-open is generally okay depending on the rules you implement. 4. Any species that promotes or encourages real world violence, hatred, bigotry, or exploitation.

This list is not extensive and may be updated in the future.

Do you have a Do Not Interact?

-No, but we will gladly block any kind of bigot or anyone promoting real instances of heinous acts such as pedophilia/zoophilia/incest/etc., sexual assault, hate crimes, anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments (this includes TE//RFs and transmisogynists obviously), antisemitism, Islamophobia, sexism, racism, etc.

NOTE: Please DO NOT ask us to make or share callout posts regarding any creators we spotlight. If there is definitive proof of someone we've promoted being genuinely harmful, we will refuse to promote them going forward. However, we do not support harassment campaigns, poorly made callouts, or witch hunts.

Also: If you have personal beef with a creator, air out our grievances on your own blog. This is not a place to vent about how much you hate someone.

Keep in mind that we do NOT do extensive background checks on anyone we promote, nor do we know about every single community drama or "problematic" person in the open species community. We want our space to be as drama free as possible, and we will NEVER knowingly promote problematic people/species.

RULES:

Your species MUST be open or semi-open to qualify.

DO NOT ping us continuously! If we haven't reblogged your post, it's because we're either busy or your species does not meet our requirements. Please wait at least 4 days before contacting us regarding your post.

Art, OC, and species theft are FORBIDDEN. If you are caught intentionally stealing from anyone, you will be blocked.

No AI "art" nor N/F/Ts! Period!

Please do not give anyone constructive criticism without their permission.

Hate, bullying, or harassment of any kind is NOT allowed.

Don't ask us to promote a species on someone behalf unless you have explicit permission from that person to do so.

Please DO NOT accuse anyone of species theft without explicit proof. There are A Lot of open species out there, so it's inevitable that someone is going to make a species similar to yours.

While not a requirement, it's very helpful if you have a Carrd, website, or document with species lore and information.

Please make sure you have put some effort into your species before pitching them. While we probably won't outright refuse to promote your species, it would be best for everyone if you made sure your species has some work put into it.
