Groups: Lightapups live in groups with 4-20 other lightapups Each lightapup has a rank, these ranks are: -The highest rank; Leaders -The second highest rank; Lights (usually the leaders mate) -Guards (guards the camp) -Scout (explores caves and looks ahead for danger) -Messenger (A fast lightapup that spreads messages) -Pups (Lightapup babies) -Medic (helps cure sicknesses and etc) - Still coming up with a name (Lightapups expecting pups) -Rouge/traveler (isn't apart of a pack) despite most lightapups being very social creatures rouges/travelers are not apart of packs. Most of them prefer to be alone and explore by themselves though some of them may have been kicked out of their pack. though they do wrestle with each other Lightapups RARELY fight, and when they do it almost never with other lightapups.

Lanterns: ALL lightapups have lanterns They are given their lantern when they are just born and keep the same one throughout their life. (they hang it on their tail, and barely take it off Most of the time it is a dark brown lantern with a yellow glow, but there are VERY VERY rare occasions where they get a lantern with a blue glow. Lightapups gain markings on their lanterns after they get their rank (each rank has a different marking but all lightapups of the same rank have the same marking). Lightapups also get marking when they do something good, for example a lightapup saves someone, they'd get a marking for that There are also BAD markings they can get for doing something bad. They use these lanterns to explore caves and see in the dark (their antennas also help with this)

The difference between male and female: Males have horns while females don't, yet SOMETIMES males don't but thats really rare. They are mostly the same though! What if my Lightapup is nonbinary or other? You can decide if they have horns then :)

-also higher ranked lightapups lanterns glow brighter

Exploring: Lightapups LOVE to explore! They mainly explore caves or new lands (but especially caves)their lanterns and antennas help them see in the dark by glowing to better adapt to dark places!

In features Green means common, Orange means uncommon, red means rare purple means its REALLY rare 1 person gets up to 1 orange and infinite commons Friends or inspos get 1 purple, 1 red or orange and infinite commons I get infinite everything >:) If you wanna make one fill out this form and read the entire desc: Name of your lightapup (opt.) || Gender of your lightapup|| Tail type || Horn type (only if lightapup it is not female)|| Ask for REALLY rare features here (ex: lantern has blue glow) (note that you may not get it || Do they have any markings if so, why? || Other

Also no Lightapup backstory can be gorey or really dark. Sorry! it's just that they aren't really made for that, hence the reason they rarely fight

That also means no 13+ content!

Making Lightapup OTAs/adopts: ASK ME! Before you even think about making an ota/adopt with lightapups ask me first! and if I say no, DON'T MAKE ONE! (If I see you made one without my permission I will hunt you down) If I say yes, make sure it follows ALL the rules of the species You can only use infinite commons (green) and 1 uncommon (orange) features (ask me if you want to get better features, depending on who you are I might say yes) Also don't make Lightapup RPs! I'll be making one in the future so don't worry!

aLsO- If I accept your form to make a Lightapup make sure to show me it so I can see if you followed all the rules (also if I do not approve of your Lightapup, fix it! unapproved Lightapups don't get into the species book and aren't official lightapups)

(oh and the species book is just a place where all official lightapups go to keep track of them all)
