Puck's Wood
The home of the trickster Puck, and his peers...

In the forest that bears his name...the great trickster Puck rules with a humorous wit and oft-absent touch. The woods reflect both his light and dark sides. Gentle and mischievious, and dark and chaotic.

Like the glen itself, light filtering through the great and ancient boughs...both darkness and light, laughter and danger, love and hate go hand in hand here...

Would you brave the wood and the mysteries therein? The trickster and his forest awaits you...

Inhabiting the woods of the trickster are many type of creatures. Some known and approachable, some known and dangerous. Still others have yet to reveal themselves, staying cloaked in the forest that is mother to all of them. (Images are behind the colored links for loading ease.)

Common Sightings

Apos Female
Apos Male
Alignment: Neutral Good
Area: Wood
Speech: Yes

Both Chirra and Apos start out as a "Puff". They are about the size of a cat, and have muscle mass to them, but they are litterally a ball of fluff with a tail. The fluff does not eat, or drink, or make any sort of sound. While they can move in an odd slinky-type movement, or hop, or even roll, their speed at doing so varies. They are fully intelligent in this stage.

In child stage, the Apos develope a distinctly canine appearance. The wings become its most striking feature, multi faceted and beautiful. Most Apos demonstrate the qualities of a wise old sage. They are often quiet, thoughtful, and prone to naps!

Chirra Male
Chirra Female
Alignment: Neutral Good
Area: Wood
Speech: Yes

While the Chirra also start out as a "Puff", their development is on a much more bipedal path. As a child they begin to take on more distinctly humanoid appearance. Once fully grown, they are about the size of a small child, and as innocent as one. Their mental acuities are, however; fully adult. Save for a rather unfortunate and racoon-like fixation on "shinies", they are very non-demanding and gentle creatures.

Stagg
Alignment: Neutral
Area: Wood
Speech: Yes

The Stagg are a rather interesting breed. The child is neither masculine nor feminine at first, being born of no gender. The "default" gender is female. If the Stagg wants to become a male, it must undergo a rite of initiation. After which time, it has the sanction of the Stagg leader to eat of the tree of Halps. The Bark engenders a chemical reaction leading to the developement into masculinity.

If a young Stagg takes the bark without sanction, he is cast out from the herd forever. Once disavowed, the young male will spend most of the remainder of his days wandering to rue his fate.

Mudge
Mudge
Alignment: Chaotic
Speech: Yes (see description)
Sightings: Common
Area: Marsh

If you were to take the most unusual and creepy thing and put a face to it...you would likely have a mudge. Named for their muddy and sludge like appearance, as well as for their mumbling attempt to talk...these creatures are not in anywise a companion for those that would like a warm and fuzzy pet.

Often found in packs, that is also when they are most dangerous. Their chorus of half burbled yips and bays are truly eerie. In the dark, their eyes are luminescent...and for some, that is the last thing that they see.

Dinny Dinny 2
Alignment: Neutral
Area: Lake
Speech: Limited

These playful denizens of the Lake are more seal than feline in manner. Mischievious and loving, they are quite trusting. They can also get carried away with their affection...Chirra have learned to be careful with this gentle lovers, more than one Dinny has beocme stranded while trying to follow an attentive Chirra home!

Iguion
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Area: Aerie, Wood
Speech: No

The Iguion is a strange amalgamation indeed. Neither hostile or friendly, they are generally solitary creatures, and indifferent to most things around them other than their own needs.

Diggories
Alignment: Neutral
Area: Wood
Speech: Limited

Owls are often paired with ancient knowledge and wisdom. While the elder owls often are deserving of such praise, the younger owls are not quite so learned. Flighty and some might say callow, the young fledglings can often be their own worst enemy...

Coatl
Alignment: Neutral
Area: Aerie
Speech: limited

The Coatl are distantly related to the Iguion. But where their cousin has adapted to the lower levels, the Coatl still lurks in the heights of the Aerie. While they do not have "wings" per se, there is a flap of skin that allows their hollow boned and deceptively light frame to "glide" from peak to peak. Their body is covered with fluffy down and feathers that allow for their aerodynamic life.

Their talons are so hard, and their strength so sure that they can hang completely upside down for hours on end. Much like a bat would.

Celopes
Alignment:
Speech:
Area:
User ImageUser Image


Rare Sightings

Bunyip
Alignment: Chaotic
Speech: Yes
Area: Marsh

The "Bunyip" is a name adopted by these strange creatures because they used to be called "trolls". Not wanting such an inelegant name, they adopted "Bunyip", and beat up anyone to a pulp that dared to use the old name.

Hence, they are now never referred to (to their face, or within hearing at least) "trolls".

Posessing a squat, frog like body, covered generously with warts (or "beauty marks" as the females refer to them...see "trolls" for more information on how they enforce their view), the males warts are less patterned and random, whereas the females follow a distinct curvature.

Coarse, and bullying, these are not a very friendly creature to come across at all. If they decide not to eat you, they may decide to make you their slave.

Daeva
Alignment: Neutral
Speech: Telepathy
Area: Any

Besides the Trickster himself, the Daeva are the most mysterious of the Wood's known inhabitants. They are solitary creatures, mating for life to their one true intended. Mystical and austere, these creatures bring great blessings...but not without a price.

To befriend a Daeva is the greatest of boons. But it is not an easy task at all to do so.

The Daeva are known in other cultures by different names. The most known identitiy of a Daeva is the title "Luck Dragon"

Caesgl
Alignment: Neutral
Area: Lake
Speech: Yes

The Caesgl are a shy and introverted race. While intermingling freely with the Dinny and other Lake dwellers, they shun most of the other races out of fear. Aloof and often nothing but a flash of color in the center of the lake, both Caesgl genders have beautiful voices both above and below the water.

As shy as they are, they are more than happy to serenade the glen...from a distance!

Wyrm
Sightings: Rare
Alignment: Chaotic/good
Area: Aerie
Speech: Telepathy

The Wyrms are small dragon-like creatures. Not large enough to threaten villages and castles as the tales tell. But more than large enough to threaten a group of Chirra and Apos. Should it be of a mind to do so.

Firebird
Alignment: Neutral/Good
Area: Aerie, Wood
Speech: Yes

The firebird is a title that can be misleading. They are not a fire-elemental at all, but the way that their form flickers in the light is very reminiscent of fire. Hence their name. Elusive and solitary, it is rare to meet a Firebird, and rarer still to convince one of your good intentions.

Like most of the rare mystical creatures, they are able to discern a person's true intent and have little hesitation on acting for or against it. Their powers are not fully known.

Satyrs
Alignment: Neutral/Good
Area: Any
Speech : Yes

The species of which the Trickster originates. Satyrs are sometimes referred to as "Pucks" as well. While they are varied in temperment, most all share the same love of play and mischief as their leader.

Unis
Alignment: Good
Area: Any
Speech: Yes

You would have to be a stranger indeed to lore not to recognize this beast. Pure and noble, the Unicorn are often found in male/female pairs. A Unicorn mates for life, and if their mate dies...the remaining partner soon follows.

Hunted for their alicorn, these creature sought the help of the trickster to survive. He has granted them their plea and they are under his direct protection.

Griffons
Alignment : Neutral
Area : Aerie/Wood
Speech : No

Griffons are wild and fierce. While not evil, they are often a proud and solitary creature. Part lion, part eagle, they share the hunting instincts of both.

While intelligent enough to differentiate between an inhabitant under the protection of the Trickster from plain prey, they can choose to defy Puck and attempt to attack an inhabitant.

Approach with caution, always.

Celoshaman
Alignment:
Area:
Speech:

The Celoshamans always begin life as a foundling. Noone really knows the reason behind this, but never has their first stage of life been seen. Their markings and decorations have meanings, but they will seldom if ever explain such to others. It is believed that the magic behind them will vanish if others know.

Great Hawk
Alignment:
Area:
Speech:

The Great Hawk eggs are unusual in that they are much heavier shelled than normal hawk eggs. Their natural predator, the Iguion, relishes their eggs and young. To prevent this, they have a much tougher shell than normal that their young can cut through.
Zephyrus

Alignment:
Area:
Speech:

Phuka

Alignment:
Area:
Speech:

The phuka are rarely seen, but the creatures are more beastlike than most other goblins. Sometimes they appear as a friendly ponylike beast offering a ride. But beware accepting such if you are uncertain. Many a traveler has found themself dumped headlong in a ditch or mire as the phuka runs away chuckling.

Companions

Companions come in all shapes and sizes, but in three general types: Dark, Neutral, Light. The dark gray area shows the Dark oriented species. The lighter gray area shows those species who can be oriented Dark, Neutral, or Light. The white area shows the Light oriented species. Please note that these are animal companions and they do not speak as the other species do.

PUCK's Oddities

This section is for those pets, items, and anything else that cannot be classified but is within Puck's grasp and realm of mischief. Details on their nature will be posted here. Availability will be in that post, so look there for pricing details.

Oni :: Image coming soon.

Alignment: Neutral Evil
Area:
Speech: Yes, basic words and phrases. Must be taught more.

The oni are demons and are distinctly male and female. Their attitudes will vary from a more benign mischief to a darker nature depending on what they are taught from those around them. They tend to learn quickly once they evolve from the dolls which contain them. The dolls may move, jump around, or even change position, but they do not actually get up and walk. They are approximately 6-8 inches tall as dolls.

The child form is just that. A child that stands about 12-18 inches tall. He/she may or may not be taught to control his darker urges which appear from the moment he/she changes. It is up to the one who found the doll to bond with the oni and teach them what they need to know.

The adult oni is fully formed. In this stage they can breed, though they do not always choose to do so. The oni have sharp claws and are capable of using minor magic. (Magic will be added later.) They are much more dangerous in this stage and if they have not bonded with their finder, they can be very troublesome to stop.

In order to breed the oni must carve a doll shape, then animate it with some of their own strength. This can be done as a single parent but it is extremely, extremely rare that one will do so alone as it takes a portion of the oni's energy to animate the doll giving it a spirit, and it limits them to one child. Most prefer at least one if not two so that they can have more children to cause chaos and destruction. With more partners there is the chance of more than one child per parent. A breeding of three could very well gain 3 to 6 children.

Constant Flatsale
TEMPORARILY CLOSED

All pets are 3k unless stated otherwise. Companions are 1k. Payment is sent to Cumonk, the shop mule. Pets are always available. What is not available are lineart edits, intricate details, and those will be considered custom orders. Go to the Custom order section below to do so, please.

Here's how it works::

There are 12 slots open at the moment. If I see a need for more, I will open more. If a slot is open, then pets are available. To get a slot, you post your order (using the order form below) in the shop thread. Then send the trade with the page number of your order. First come, first serve. I will go by the order of posts to list you in the slots, but the trade should be sent within 24 hours. You are allowed to be on the order list twice and only twice. No exceptions.

This allows others a chance also. This is so that those who can't always make a flatsale or auction have a true chance to gain a pet. If I see a need later, I will open Newbie only slots for those who don't currently own a Puck's critter. If this pet is for a friend, please make sure to note that on the order. If you want them surprised, then make sure I know that as well so that it's not announced, heh.

A companion can be ordered at the same time as the pet is ordered. It counts as only one slot as I put the companion directly on the cert with the pet. I just need to know that you are ordering a companion at the same time.

NO lineart edits, NO detailed patterns. Look to customs for that. Names will be removed once all stages have been evolved.

Breeding
When the music of the forest fills the air with its magic, a sacred ritual opens up. Only at this time does the ability to create new life become available.

The sacred dance can be undertaken by two, or even three of the inhabitants of the wood. But regardless of what takes part, the results are always pure. There are no known instances of interspecies amalgamations. A chirra and apos taking part in the ritual will not create between them a cross-breed. As this is a mating of magical means, and not a physical act, the results are always chirra and apos distinctly.

How does one know when the forest is inhabited with the music? Only the forest knows...


Sacred ritual

The music swells in the wood, sweeping through gently, feathersoft. Puck laughs as he feels nature's call. It's almost time. It is nature's own call sliding through. Picking up his flute, he smiles caressing it. Soon it will be time to play. They won't be able to deny it. No more than he can.

With a grin spreading across his face, he closes his eyes focusing. There are a few ready, but not all yet.

He will wait a bit longer.

Soon though... Very soon.

The area that comprises of "Puck's Wood" is not all forest, despite the name. While legend states that the Trickster originated his rule from his powerbase deep in the Wood, his influence now stretches far and wide. The map, as we know it today contains several different areas:
1. Lake of Dreams: A deep fathomless body of water that stretches almost as far as the eye can see. Almost.
2. Whispering Glen: The peaceful and quiet area of the forest. The safest place to be.
3. Puck's Wood: The wild, unpredictable depths of the wood that the Trickster calls his home. Many things, good and ill can happen here.
4. Marsh of Evermoor: An area that is off-limits to most. Definitely not a good place to be caught in alone.
5. The Aerie: High, craggy cliffs that are home to the air dwellers.
6. The Badlands: Do not enter. Seriously. Do. Not.

For more information on the areas and their inhabitants, you can follow the mudge below...

Random Events
A random event is just that. Like getting a pink link or chest, sometimes in Puck's wood, the unusual happens. It is up to the individual to take notice of it.

One such event is the "grab bag" event. When you see this image User Image pop up anywhere (other than here of course), the first person to claim it gets what is inside.

This grab bag can show up anywhere at any time. Even in places you've seen before. Sometimes there will be a hint or riddle, sometimes not. So be sure to keep your eyes open. (they've even been known to show up in PM's...)

We do not claim to have originated this idea. Other shops, such as the Talaye Meadows, use this idea.

F.A.Q
Getting an inhabitant of the forest....
Q. How do I get one?
A. Through normal flatsales, auctions and raffles. Sometimes there may be special events.

Q. How much?
A. Flatsale is 3K, and auctions start the same.

Q. Do you do pet trades?
A. Chaeval does not. Eftemie might.

Q. There are none available, but I REALLY want one! Can I bribe you?
A. It would have to be a hefty bribe. Very hefty. Because I usally have nothing available when I don't have time. If you offer me a poor amount, I retain the right to decline, and if harrassed, I *WILL* blacklist you.

Store upkeep and maintenance

Q. You have an awful lot of different types of lineart here. Did you STEAL any of it?
A. No. Each different art is credited to its creator on the cert and in the thread. While they are different in consistency, it is because I have gotten them from different auctions. Nothing is stolen, and I do not CONDONE stealing.

Q. How long does it take you to do ....
--breeding
--item orders
--flatsales
--hatchings
--anything else
A. As long as it takes me. I try to keep you abreast of things as I go along. So please don't pester me unless it has been a while with no mention of your particular issue.

Q. Can I PM you?
A. I'd rather you not. Not because I think I'm too good for PM's. . . but rather because my inbox gets filled up too quick as is. sweatdrop if it is something you simply MUST PM me about, ask here first for permission, so I make sure I have room.

Q. Can I add you as an affiliate?
A . Absolutely! Let me reciprocate! But PLEASE PLEASE use such sites as tinyurl.com for shrinking the size of your URLS.

Q. I want a job!
A. If there are any positions available, I will post them.

RP
Q. Are these RP mandatory?
A. Good gods, no. sweatdrop

Q. Do I get anything special for RPing?
A. Yes.

Q. But...Im not much of an RPer....
A. Understood. However, this is a casual RP environment. Even visitng the shop counts in my book as "rp". But VISIT, don't just pop in and flitter out for months at a time. smile

Ritual of Breeding
Q. I have a breeding question....
A. Please refer to the breeding section of the thread. I should answer it there. If not, please post the question in the thread.

These are those who have found their way into the wood but have noone. We'd like to find them a good home. Occasionally we color something that we like but that doesn't need stages or didn't sell for some reason. Here is where we will reoffer it for a limited time. Prices are as marked.

Pet Spotlight

These are those who have found their way into the wood but have owners. Occasionally one inhabitant of the wood distinquishes himself in some way. This could come from an rp, the owner simply screwing around in the shop thread amusing everyone, etc. Only Puck knows. twisted

At the moment, we are unsure what these even are. I believe Old Nicodemus is up to something. But then again.. it might just be Puck as usual.
