Viscets are bipedal raptor-canine closed-species* that have been around on the internet since ~2015; thousands of viscets adopts are permanently homed to and loved by many active members. This is to say they are NOT a new species with unclear rules, inactive staff, and only a few designs, that'll just die after a few months. 

Signature traits of the species include fluffy chest fur, tall crests stretching from their head to the base of their tail, long oblong ears, and a large lion-like whip-tail with a tuft at the end. Viscets have ferret-like muzzles, double ringed eyes, opposable thumbs, and stand around eight feet tall on average. Many different "mutations" that adjust some of their basic traits can be found in the species. They can have saber fangs, butterfly wings, large antlers, six eyes, dog-like ears, or many more!

The species home is centered on deviantart, but the heart of the species is found within it's discord server, where a lively, welcoming community of diverse identities has thrived since 2019, when the species migrated off the forum-based adoptable website "Chickensmoothie" due to its growing-size. (No need to own a viscet to join the server!)

Viscets are primarily obtained through formally hosted, limited, prompt-based "Write/draw to adopt" contests, but can also be obtained through raffles, auctions, community-hosted readoptions, and all-out "impress-me" competitions. There is also a nursery system where, for the low flat-fee of $5, two viscets can be given their own offspring. 


Between the ~20 active staff members + artists of the species, there's always adopts being made, or someone around to help! Currently, we have just started our annual spring event! This spring event, we have twenty free adopts specifically for non-owners only! Each adoption also has a riddle, where you have a chance at winning a FREE unedited MYO (make your own) ticket! 

No effort needed, just grab an egg by replying under the deviant-art post, and claim your new viscet by giving it a name when its revealed!

Are these WTA one per person? Or can write for 2? novak

novak

You can write for as many as you’d like! WovenInTime

These eggs, however, can only be claimed up to 2 per person.

Thanks! novak I'm also interested in at least one DeviantArt one. How could I adopt one of those? I do have DeviantArt - figured it out now that I'm home from work so ignore 😊

WovenInTime

 just looked at the eggs and oh now 😂 I need them all haha. I'm going to look more when I get home. I love these things. Rabbit hole unlocked lol 

novak

Each of them on dA has a different kind of prompt/word limit for their competition! Go ahead and read the whole dA post of the one you are interested in and then you can post the form in the comments of the post! WovenInTime

Is having a DA account necessary to get eggs? I'd have to make one. Which I don't mind but I thought I'd ask 

novak

CapybaraQuartet Since everything for the species group is hosted through deviantart (and discord), you will need an account on deviantart to claim one, yes. Being a part of the discord community is completely optional, though!

Alright thanks. I'll probably make an account tonight 

Blacktiide

oh I've seen you guys around, maybe it's time I finally joined y'all :D

WovenInTime

Blacktiide I don't think you'll regret it 

WovenInTime

I completely forgot I wrote stuff for the three I didn't draw for. Am I still able to submit that? Or are they no longer for adoption since it's past the 31st? Sorry got caught up in moving and the events and just forgot

WovenInTime

Nobody has entered for them yet so you may still submit a form

WovenInTime

Awesome thank you! I'll submit when I'm off work
