Uchikomimis are small fluffy spirit like creatures originally meant to serve, and assist their masters. Their tasks consist of keeping swords, dishes and other belongings clean. They are also skilled at tending to wounds and illness their masters might endure. They're very knowledgeable about herbal remedies.

   
 Uchikomimis are no good at defending themselves from other stronger, and much larger spirits/demons. Their only means of survival is to flee and/or hide. This is why they feel a strong need to find a more capable being(be it human or another spiritual being)to be subservient to for protection in return.

Uchikomimis originally only served Samurai, and other master swordsmen. As time went on they were traded to different warriors from different lands. They were even given as special gifts to those of high stature.

They were given the name "Uchikomimi" because of their tail's resemblance to the tool used to polish katana blades. The puffy round ball of fur at the tip of the Uchikimini's tails look like the silk balls filled with stone powder. This also refers to their usefulness to aid in some chores, and maintenance work.

 They have an endless variety of colors, and patterns. Any clothing they have can also vary in style. This is because they have been traded from their land of origins to many different places over the years. Some Uchikomimis, male or female, can have horns. It is more rare for females to have horns, though.

All Uchikomimis have the ability to take on a human like form. However, they usually stay in their small animalistic form in order to scurry away, and hide easily.

  You are free to create a human form of your Uchikomimi based on their design. You can look at the human forms I made as a reference for your own Uchikomimi.
  I will have special openings for custom gijinka's of your Uchikomimi from me! They won't pop up often so be sure to keep your eye out!
  When you buy an Uchikomimi you will only be buying the feral form unless the special custom design slots are open. You can make the human form yourself at anytime if you don't want to wait for customs.

 

  This is a CLOSED species so you are not allowed to make your own.

  You DON'T have to follow the story around the species. If you don't wish for them to have a human form then by all means just have them to have them.

  You may NOT use them for commercial use. These adopts are for PERSONAL use ONLY. You can put them in your own stories or anything along those lines so long as it is personal use.

  You can make minor edits to your Uchikomimis, but please keep them close to their original image.

  You may resell/gift, but you may not sell for more than what you bought it for. The only exception is if you have extra artwork along with it.
Please let me know if you plan on selling or gifting. I would like to keep track of the owners, and I will also be able to promote them in a resell shop.
