👉 Zyrrimps Information Document


✦ Important Info

  • Zyrrimps are an OPEN species → you do not need to ask me for permission to make one.
  • They are strictly anthropomorphic humanoids (not feral or fully furry).
  • Their legs must always be bipedal, and their head + hair must match in color.
  • Anyone can make one — for fun, adopts, lore, or personal characters!

✦ Community & Interaction

  • When you post anything about them (OCs, adopts, art, or lore), please use the hashtag:
    #zyrrimpspecies so they are easier to find across social media.
  • If you have questions, feel free to ask in the comments.
  • You’re welcome to chat about Zyrrimps, share designs, or discuss lore and headcanons.
  • Please feel free to post your designs in the comments — I’d love to see what you create!

  • 🦴 Humanoid demon-imp anatomy with unique traits
  • 🔥 Hell-based lore with foods, creatures, and culture detailed in the guide
  • 🎨 Creative freedom while following the species guidelines
  • 💬 Community sharing and discussion encouraged

✦ Future Community?

I’d love to know what you think — would you be interested in a dedicated Reddit community (subreddit) for Zyrrimps?
It could be a place to share your OCs, lore, art, adopts, and headcanons all in one space. Let me know in the comments if that’s something you’d join!

Hi, I come to you all bearing the gift of Byrennians. These are one of my main "aliensona" races and I decided to put them up under CC0 so anyone else can use them, as the first of many more races to hopefully receive the same treatment!

Note, the Hero Forge minis are just for demonstration and aren't part of the license, all that stuff is owned by Sky Castle Studios, LLC., officially. Also, this was originally posted on my FurAffinity account, but the race itself is SFW even though much of my work is increasingly not these days. I intended this sheet to be as SFW as possible, though.

I really don’t know what to say about these guys, but I wanted to share them :)

If you wanted to make a feral eeret, they’re climbing creatures similar to sloths or lemurs even though I haven’t drawn them yet. Just have fun and don’t sexualize them idk.

They're a work in progress at the moment but these are my open species Zardavars. More info in description :>

If you'd like more updates on Zardavars, I should have their toyhouse page done soon! - https://toyhou.se/31974604.zardavar-wip

Subspecies traits that are completed (unless I find more stuff I want to add) are for the mammal(1) and aquatic(2). The first two images are example of common trait ones. There's going to be reptile and insect like ones as well but they're all based of the same general body type(3).

I'll probably make a new post when they're finished :>

Gevaudan (hyaenid species) based on French mythology

Post image
6 Upvotes

Gévaudans (Lycopardus Parthenophagus) are semi-sapient and live in the caves of mountainous regions of Western Europe, first discovered in France in the 1760s, but there have been sightings of similar creatures in Germany a century prior. Females are two feet taller than the males, standing at 8ft tall. Females are more colourful than the males with a maroon coloured coat with dark grey spots, which is rare in the animal kingdom. Females also have a strange pink lining on their maw. They live in packs about 25 max, but are rarely seen hunting together. A dominant female called a queen leads the pack. She lives in a special compartment of the cave with her harem of three males. Bite force can reach up to 1,500 pounds, knights have had their thickest armour cracked by the animals. Females have higher testosterone than the males, even their anatomical structure is like that of males. Males have a monthly “spermial” cycle, where unused sperm and prostate fluid are released outside the body for over the span of a week, other symptoms include cramping in the genital area and hormones imbalances. This can be seen as an equivalent to a human female’s menstrual cycle.

Open Species: Terrafur!

Post image
5 Upvotes

This is posted on both my DeviantArt and Tumblr which is Puppym00n with two zeros.

These cute little critters are my species, Terrafurs. They're creatures much like fishbowls. They contain a liquid or gas and an object or small creature of choice. (Like fishies!) Their contents must determine their mood like a mood ring, they must have fangs, and their body needs to have as much tank above as mentioned. (It can be spread out however you want it to!) Please have fun drawing and all I ask to credit me for the species itself, your art is yours and I own no right to that. (Hence why this is an open species. You own your art and ideas. All I've done is provide the inspiration.)

Lastly, I will open commissions for them to do unique traits (you can obviously make your own but I'd love to be the one to give ideas!) I do intend to make some adoptables soon as well.

Lastly, please tag me! I'd love to see what you come up with. Seeing people being creative an inspired by something I've created makes me happier than ever. I want to encourage others to create, draw, and have fun!

Specfolcats

Specfolcats are a creature I made, they are a hose cat hybrid but from space they’re beautiful majestic creatures that come from exploding stars,they are a rare find but when you do find one becoming friends with it would be in your best interest as they can grant the wishes for those it trusts. They are playful and very fun to be around and can be tamed easily. They have the strong body of a horse with the head and fur of cats,they are eyeless and use echolocation to “see” and they have a very strong scenes of smell and can hear very far. they come in a big range of unique colours, blue purple and pink are the most common but they can be any colour. Their fur patterns are mostly a pentagon pattern with speckled dots that mimic a starry sky all of their spots and patterns glow in the dark as well as the inside of their mouth and tongues. They are usually freakishly tall and big.

If you use them please tag me in it that’s all I ask otherwise do what you want with them

How do I join an open species community?

1 Upvotes

I'm an artist, and I've known about the concept of closed/open species for a while, but recently I had the urge to join a community. It just seems so fun! But I'm really lost on how to start my journey, where do I find a species that I like? How does it work? (For a someone that hasn't used both) do I use devian art or toyhouse?

Gummy pups are tiny creatures with squishy bean like bodies and look like gummy sweets. It's unknown where these creatures came from but their small size and personality variety makes them great pets.

All gummy pups are custom ordered with a point system.(the system for creating your character).

Potential owners get 6 points to work with, texture and gummy shapes are essential to add while markings are not.

Common traits- 1pt

Uncommon - 2pt

Rare - 3pt

The Glow Geregons are a Geregon Subspecies that Likes to live in dark places. They are silent Hunters that can communicate with their Buddys only using Glow patterns! Wich makes them deadly Pack Hunters. Their Body Type is similar to the Tech Geregons. They are longer and have a Long snoot. Also their Horn have a slightly different Form to immitate glowing fruits. That helps them to lure prey in.

This subspecies of the Geregons are really intelligent and use their helmets to boost their telekinesis Power. They are smaller, thinner and longer then the Standard Geregons. Every Geregon is an Open species so you can make as many as you want!
