→ Breeds of Doggos

[Labyrinth Realm]

Some Doggos have templates on them that make them a different breed of Doggo. Through reproduction and sales, some breeds will be more common than others. While there can't feasible be a guide for every type of Doggo (as there are hundreds of edits one can choose from), this is a handy guide for the more common breeds one can find.

Customers may make their own breeds. Events and customs will allow for some customers to receive edits that might qualify as a breed, and if they're the first once to receive these edits they can both offer guide information and donate the edits to help make their breed grow. Event edits are up to be used as we see fit unless otherwise stated. Usually, breeds created through events will have a guide created by staff.

As a note to make this easier to digest and help contribute to; we will not write guides for specific generic type of Doggos. For instance, a cat-eared and tailed Doggo will not have a guide for cat Doggos, as it is too broad of a type of Doggo and not all cats are the same. However, a Doggo with cat attributes, unique wings, and gems covering them can be labeled as a specific breed, as it is unique and a specific type of special cat.

By offering your unique Doggo up as a breed for us to document, you are stating that the shop can replicate this type of Doggo edit and offer it for the shop. You will, of course, keep your Doggo and be able to offer lore you think fits the breed, but you cannot dictate who and who cannot be a part of the breed. You may request rarity level, but the edits used on your Doggo that pertain to the breed offered may be replicated or re-used. Unique edits not pertaining to the breed, such as clothes, hair, and any colorations will not be replicated, just the edits that make the breed what it is.

Rarity will greatly change how your breed is distributed, so keep in mind what rarity you request if you wish your breed to be easier or harder to obtain. Common types will be given out through games as we see fit. Uncommon will be released through games and RP events once in awhile and rely more heavily on breedings and customs to be distributed. Rare will only be acquired through RP means, customs, and breedings.

To donate a breed idea PM the mule and we'll discuss the information needed.

 

[Labyrinth Realm]

→ General Appearance
Normal Doggos don't exactly have a specific type of appearance. They can have mouth tails, multiple ears, several eyes, spikes — you name it! What puts them aside from other types of Dwellers is that while they vary in types of edits they have, they all aren't as powerful as some breeds and typically it's uncommon to see one with a power. They don't naturally have abilities that will help them survive longer in more dangerous locations, unless they were fortunate enough to inherit or develop a power.


→ Size
Stereotypically, they're twice the size of normal wolves found on our planet once they've matured. As puppies they remain a similar size to wolf puppies until they reach about 7 months old, which is the time Doggos begin to accelerate in growth until they finally reach their full potential once they're a year old.

Keep in mind this is only a generic idea of a textbook Doggo; your character does not need to fit this size if you wish.

→ Strengths and Weaknesses
Normal Doggos don't inherently have any strengths other then the generic traits almost all types of Doggos have, which are; sharp claws, powerful jaws, and speed.

As for weaknesses, unless they receive a power or a blessing they're typically unable to enter more extreme realms.


→ Magic
Normal Doggos do not typically come with magic except for the amount needed to travel realms safely. Some Doggos are born with a power or inherit one from their parents, but this is seen as out of the norm.

→ Family
Doggos typically mate for life, although not all Doggos have to follow this way of life. Puppies are expected to be raised by both parents or at least their mother, although abandoned puppies are easily adopted in by adult Doggos who might want a child of their own.

Packs are often considered family as well, as a pack can be the difference between surviving comfortably or struggling alone in the harsh world of Labyrinth. Doggos typically gravitate to a more social life, although a lone wolf here and there isn't unheard of! Remember, these are just guidelines for the textbook perfect, stereotypical Doggo.


→ Courting
Courting is a fairly simple process. Hunting or providing items found during travel is the primary way Doggos court others they're interested in. Those interested in another Doggo within a pack may even leave their pack or, if they lack a pack, join the pack their beloved is in. All genders participate equally in courting rituals, although usually the one with higher status (those with powers or are more 'attractive') will allow themselves to be wooed over pursuing the other.

When finding a mate there isn't necessarily an 'ideal partner' for Doggos, other than their own idea of who they may want to settle with. This makes finding a mate fairly easy, as long as the one you're interested in likes the idea!


→ General Behavior
Normal Doggos are primarily pack-seeking creatures who generally want to be surrounded by peers and family. The need to establish their own comfort and stability is great and often leads Doggos to joining or creating large packs or even traveling to realms unheard of in hopes of finding their own safe haven.

Doggos can be incredibly territorial over who and what makes up their daily routine. Their packs, mates, and children will, more often than not, be defended with every sharp claw and each large fang. Blood shed is not avoided when it comes to protecting what they deem theirs.

→ While this is a general guide for the textbook normal Doggo, please RP your character as you feel fit! This is for if you want more information on what a typical Doggo is, and not to dictate how you should RP.
→ While Doggos prefer to mate for life generally, it's not at all unheard of to move on if a mate passes or leaves, or even to breed and flee. It's up to you what happens!
→ For Doggos who develop a power later on in life it's said that the day they wake with their new power they feel sore from the new experience. Keep in mind not all Doggos will respond this way, however!
→ This guide is for Doggos who aren't really part of any other breed of Doggo. This includes those with general templates, such as the extra ears, extra eyes, mouth tail, etc!
