As the title says above, I'm looking for feedback/an interest check for a species in the making I've created.

The Species



The name given to this species (which has yet to be finalized) is:

Colossal Pawthorn


Ref Image
This species was given the name 'Colossal Pawthorn' due to their giant paws, which had thorns on them. The thorns were originally thought to have been used to kill their prey, but recent studies on the species have shown that their thorns are used to protect their mates and kin.

The History of Colossal Pawthorns


The species is a genetically modified wolf. Scientists wanted to take the current wolves to the 'next level' by modifying their genes and creating a completely different species. The project 'Colossal Wolves' was top secret and originally only scientists knew of the species until rumour of the Colossal Pawthorns was leaked to the public. None of the scientists knew how valuable intel of their species got out to the public, but it happened in less than two years after the species was created. The early species of Colossal Pawthorns were very aggressive, therefore they extinct the early process, and re-began their creating of the said next level wolves. The original thought on the Pawthorns was that they would live in packs like wild wolves, but that was proven wrong when ten Pawthorns were forced together into a pack, and after leaving them alone for several months, only two survived. It was clear to the scientists, that they had claimed mates during the time period, but the Pawthorns killed each other off for believing their mate was going to be stolen, and for the lack of territory. Only the strongest and biggest Pawthorns survived the project. The scientists then built a wider spaced area for the two living Pawthorns, and monitored them daily. Several months later, the female Pawthorn was impregnated, only to have pups ten months after. The original thought was that since they were the same blood, they would remain a pack, but it didn't turn out like that. When the pups of the older Pawthorns became one year and four months, due to them not leaving, they were brutally murdered by their own parents. Pawthorns are un-agressive towards humans, but more towards their own kind if they don't get enough space. Over the years different, and the same scientists studied the aging pair of Pawthorns, and eventually they died of age. They lived for nearly one hundred-fifteen years, but exactly one hundred-fourteen years and nine months. As dozens of Pawthorns were released into the wild, they were still monitored for how long they live. In the wild, they were found to live for up to one hundred-twenty years. Several years after the Pawthorns were released into the wild, they became even less aggressive towards humans, and slightly each other, and began to live in groups of two-five Pawthorns. When the government found out that the Pawthorns were less aggressive, smaller breeds of Pawthorns were taken and bred for the purpose of household pets. Scientists had no say in whether or not they should be household pets, but the public loved them. Occasionally wild Pawthorns were found on the lawns of citizens, and were given public names, as well as beads, feathers, and light chain-link accessories. Well known Pawthorns around forest communities usually are found with lots of said accessories, and eventually even given clip on piercings! Scientists finally gave in to the public, and Pawthorn genetics were announced publicly. They are said to be part Lynx, Wolf, and a classified hybrid species. Later it was found out that inbred, and rare cased Pawthorn breedings were born with lethal, and non-lethal mutations. Scientists felt no need to fix the problem of Pawthorns having mutations because it occurs in humans and other animals. But due to public demand, scientists created a special item to cure the mutated Pawthorns, and other special items for the species.

Current Colossal Pawthorn Mutations


Unicorn Horn - 'Very Very Rare' 'Non-Lethal' Pawthorns born with a 'Unicorn Horn' are said to have special powers! Can't be treated. (Once a unicorn, forever a unicorn.)
Horns - 'Very Rare' 'Non-Lethal' In very rare cases, Pawthorns can be born with horns. Lucky people who see horned Pawthorns usually decorate their horns with flowers, feathers, chains, or fur. Can be treated.
Wings - 'Very Rare' 'Non-Lethal' In very rare cases, Pawthorns are born with wings. They must be trained how to fly during early ages, or the wings will eventually become useless decoration. Can be treated.
Thornless - 'Rare' 'Non-Lethal' In rare cases, Pawthorns are born without thorns, and need either artificial thorns, or very good protection. Can be treated.
Eyeless - 'Rare' 'Lethal' Rare case-scenarios Pawthorns are born without eyes. This is a very serious mutation that can kill, or help a Pawthorn. Pawthorns without strong sense of vibrations or sound are most definitely bound to die. Can't be treated.
Long Fur - 'Rare' 'Non-Lethal' Also referred as 'Chewbaka' by the public. Pawthorns with this mutation are born with shorter fur which grows into long fur. Can be treated. (Please include if you understand what I mean by 'Baka.')
Short Fur - 'Rare' 'Non-Lethal' Pawthorns with the 'Short Fur' mutation have especially short fur for a Pawthorn. Exactly the opposite of the 'Long Fur' mutation, they are born with long fur which sheds to short fur. Can be treated.
Blindness - 'Uncommon' 'Non-Lethal' Unfortunate Pawthorns born with blindness in either one, or both eyes are almost pitiful. While they are born with very keen senses, they lack sight in one or both eyes, and must have a companion to help protect them. Can't be treated.
Long Claws - 'Uncommon' 'Non-Lethal' Special Pawthorns are born with longer than average claws, and have outstanding fighting power with those claws. They can send a bear home crying! Can be treated.
Sabre Teeth - 'Uncommon' 'Non-Lethal' Pawthorns born with 'Sabre Teeth' have uncommonly large canines. While very intimidating, Pawthorns with this mutation are usually very kind! Can't be treated.
Curly Fur - 'Common' 'Non-Lethal' This mutation makes whichever fortunate Pawthorn be born with amazing curls. Can be treated.
Long Tail - 'Common' 'Non-Lethal' The 'Long Tail' mutation gives Pawthorns a longer tail, which is usually very fluffy. Can be treated.
Small Paws - 'OMG SO RARE' 'Lethal' Pawthorns born with the mutation 'Small Paws' are born very weak, and die one day after birth. Can't be treated.
Lightning Scar - 'OMG SO RARE' 'Non-Lethal' On very very very very rare cases, Pawthorns can be born with a lightning shaped scar on their forehead. They are believed to also have the power to use spells. The human race call these Pawthorns 'Harry's' but the Pawthorn species don't understand why. Can't be treated. (This is by far the best mutation ever.)

Would you buy one?: YAAAAS

If so, for how much?: Im not sure I’m rubbish at pricing but if i was you id base it off of interest. less interest=cheaper, more interest=expensive

Anything I should add?: It would be cool if there were different genders and the females looked slightly different to the males e.g slimmer or floppy ears instead of pointy! I think it would also be cool if they had different tooth sizes e.g fangs, like a sabertooth.

Should I continue working on these?: Hell yeah!

Should I make different age cycles?: Yes that would be great!

Anything Else?: Just what i said in the suggestions.

What needs to be fixed?: I like the given image as it is, just take note of the suggestions above! ^.^

What should I name it, or is the name fine?: I like the name but i think that could be like its ‘latin’ name. all species have a latin name and i know its not latin but its quite long so… yeah. Therefore i think that in everyday use people should just call them Pawthorns!


I LOVE THEM! <3

xD Glad to know you love them :o

I like to refer to them as Pawthorns, so I guess it kind of works..? I was thinking of age cycles because if I get enough support, they could eventually be bred, and it would age (newborn, adolescent, adult, ext.) But they wouldn't die because that would be unfair to the person who paid.

I wasn't really thinking of the female base (I'm not being sexist because I'm female so it's fine!! xD) but they could be slightly smaller/larger and have slight but obvious differences from the male, possibly make them look more 'feminine.'

PAWTHORN POWER! <-- wtf.

Bump.

The ref of the Pawthorn is slightly a sketch (kinda rough) and is a flat colour, just so you know. May or may not include shading with a paid version owo.

Yeah i adore them! I really do think a small but recognisable difference between the genders would be good and breeding would be great! I cant wait to see them in action!

YAS PAWTHORN POWER!!!!!! <- I love it i think it should be the title of your sales thread for them! XD

You know you should get in contact with some web designers or even the lioden ones because I bet this could become a great online rpg just like linden! I bet it would become super popular!!! ^^ I would play it for sure, we need more games like linden out there!

xD welp, I dunno. I'm just an average teenage artist that lacks a life. (My life is literally me eating/drinking, drawing, making a fool of myself, ignoring people, and sleeping.

There are a lot of sims like lioden already, but I agree. We need more!!

'I'm just an average teenage artist that lacks a life.' It's not supposed to sound as bad as it looks. Or at least how it looks in my mind. What I mean is that I in particular am a teenage artist 'without a life.' I'm 100% positive a lot of 'average teenage artists' have lives xD

To be honest my life is the same but the thing is I cant draw XD And yeah there are lots of similar sims but they’re just not as good. for example the art isn’t brilliant and the web layout is confusing, but i think with the right help your idea could be amazing! ^.^

Sweet! I'll probably make a female ref soon. Maybe test out some mutations. (Unicorn horn pls.) Perhaps get a co-owner/artist to help me out later on, and they could be payed quarter/half whatever I make from selling these (if I do.) A different pose also sounds nice for females c:
