🌱 Most of the art on this page is done by VyrusVoyd!
🌱 Shenbies as a species belong to VyrusVoyd, as well
🌱 Regular MYO rules apply with the exception of the following:
🌱 This type of PC must be obtained through an event or something similar. They are not open to make unless you've earned one!
🌱 Generally speaking, when playing a PC, replace "Snakekey" and "keke" with "PC" where applicable. For example, one of the creation rules reads: A keke must be created at the hatchling phase. Since you're not using a keke, you'd read this as: A PC must be created in the hatchling (/puppy) phase. Granted, this won't work or make perfect sense with all rules, but it should be enough to get by
🌱 Shenbies are a Fluffy species [💟]
🍃 Criptoid eggs are called "unknown nits" thanks to their peculiar origin. They first appeared on Fluffy while residents were sleeping and dreaming of a mysterious Shenbie
🍃 Shells are smooth and shiny with an outcropping on the bottom that usually sees nits standing upright and at attention due to its weight distribution
🍃 Unless they're placed on a soft surface and reach 80F/30C, nits will not hatch!
🍃 Nits are not required for approvals! This is just info
🌿 Grub 🌿
🍃 Crypts have rounded, fuzzy ears and lack the neck mane of base Shenbies. Their masks are a sort of thick horseshoe shape with flattened ends
🍃 Unlike some other Shenbies, Criptoids do not have optional tingeing. And they're totally jealous of those that do!
🍃 Grubs are, in general, very hard to see. It's not that they hide a lot; the eye just... has a way of slipping off them. This is excellent protection from predators and makes them hide-and-seek champions
🍃 The elbows and the tip of the tail are topped with a wispy, ghost-like tendril that flows as if it were underwater. Grubs tend to think this is a pretty neat aspect of themselves and will often attempt to show off their tendrils to their playmates or guardians

🍂 1: Lines > Draw the base for your new PC. Be sure to look at the anatomy examples here!
🍂 2: Base > Pick a base color. It can be any color as long as it's solid. Grubs don't have any markings yet
🍂 3: Mask > Any solid color. This goes on the face mask
🍂 4: Eyes > Eyes can be any color, but only one. By default, Shenbies do not have visible pupils. Note that their eyes are quite shiny!
🍂 5: Hemolymph > Pick one solid color for the hemolymph (blood equivalent) and mouth to be. Cool colors (blue, green, purple...) will have chilled hemolymph, totally desaturated colors (pure black, white, grey) will have neutral hemolymph, and warm colors (red, yellow, orange...) will have heated hemolymph

🌿 Pupa 🌿
🍃 Pupa Crypts are even rarer to come across than grubs are. They're even harder to look at directly, like an unusual energy shields them from discovery
🍃 Criptoids learn about their levetational abilities faster than your typical Shenbie, letting them float smoothly and freely at an earlier age
🍃 Upon becoming pupas, Crypts sprout a new tendril. This one comes off the back of their necks, akin to a mane
🍃 Crypts do not grow into mandibles like many other Shenbie types to. This means they don't have to suddenly adapt to them, but also makes it so they have to swallow their food whole (unless they manipulate it with their paws or silverware)
🌿 Pupa Creation 🌿
🍂1: Lines > Start by drawing the base image for your PC. Be sure to follow the anatomy examples shown here!
🍂 2: Base > Shenbies get their bases as grubs - this step is done and you can move on! Note that the mandibles may be any 1 color
🍂 3: Design > Chose 0-3 colors to add markings to your Shenbie's body (not the mask!). These can form patterns of any shape of size exception gradients, which are not allowed

Upgrades: (List what the PC has applied)
🍃 When a Crypt turns into a drone, the mysterious force shielding them from view disappears! This can be quite difficult for them to adapt to. Some will be pleased with this development while some will not!
🍃 As they age, a Criptoid's ears and tendrils will grow slightly larger
🌿 Drone Creation 🌿
🍂 1: Lines > Start by drawing the base image for your PC. Be sure to follow the anatomy examples show here
🍂 2: Design > We've already done this and you're ready to go!
🍂 3: Upgrades > Shenbie drones are required to have at least one of the upgrades listed below. They can either keep or remove them once they reach adulthood. Once the approval's over, they have full access to these any time they wish (excepting on younger stages, of course). Note that a drone will always have to have a minimum of one of these and it can't just be removed after the approval process

Youth upgrades: (Youth ones only)
Upgrades: (List what the PC has applied, ignoring the youth ones)
⭕ Open spoiler to see youth upgrades! ⭕
💫 1 > Bedhead - Youth
An enhanced version of head fluff that looks worse and is generally terrible. Grows on the top of the head and doesn't heed your mortal laws. Sticks up wherever it pleases and can't be tamed no matter how hard you try. Sometimes, this can form in small amounts on the chin or right above the mouth. Unlike regular head fluff, bedhead can go to the base of the neck at its maximum (excepting the bits on the muzzle, those stay short)
💫 2 > Broken mask - Shenbie only - Youth
The facial mask suffers weakening that can make it break or crack. This can remove smallish chips from the mask, but shouldn't do huge chunks. Does not change colors
💫 3 > Chubby - Youth
Maybe one day, this'll convert into a fae morph's figure. Until then, you've got a bit of a belly going on. Note that this shouldn't be a dramatic change - just noticeable. Can be on the torso, naga tail, or both
💫 1 > Flightless - Shenbie only - Youth
Issues from pupahood return and the Shenbie struggles to levitate properly! Their abilities may go in and out without warning
💫 2 > Fluff shed - Shenbie only - Youth
Some or all of the fluff falls off. Does not change colors
💫 3 > Growth spurt - Youth
Typically a sign of an oncoming reach morph. Allows a keke to be taller than average for their age. Nothing crazy, though!
💫 1 > Malformed energy - Criptoid only - Youth
Something's gone wrong with the strange force that usually keeps the Shenbie hidden... Instead of making them whole of them naturally difficult to look it, it's only parts of them! This interesting upgrade may also shift and move around, making it suddenly difficult to look at someone's face mid-conversation. Does not change colors
💫 2 > Short stature - Youth
Your keke doesn't seem to have grown much...a common sign of an oncoming goblin morph. Allows them to be shorter than average for their age. Nothing crazy, though! This "upgrade" has a tendency to make them look a stage or two too young via underdeveloped face, body, etc
💫 3 > Small ear tendrils - Criptoid only - Youth
Add a single small, wispy tendril to each ear. Placement may vary. If applied to a Criptoid Shenbie adult, these may be affected by a castmorph! If not, they must be the color of the area they sit atop of
💫 1 > Squint eyes - Shenbie only - Youth
The eyes press either into very thin slits or fully closed
🍃 At the royal stage, Criptoids regain the strange energy that keeps them hidden. Now, however, they are much more in control of it! This allows them to be hidden from view when they'd like to be rather than all of the time
🍃 Rather than gaining a build, Crypts develop a castmorph. This affects their tendrils, giving them a potentially special appearance as well as a splash of color
🌿 Royal Creation 🌿
