The Cenchoa have been added as a Serpentes subspecies to the Animalia Almanac as well as their legend.

The Cenchoa are a type of Serpentes with long, thin bodies and large bulbus heads and eyes. Their common name is the fiddle string Serpentes due to the shape of their bodies and their close relation to the instrument. Many Cenchoa study hard to learn how to play the fiddle making them great performers. I managed to listen to a performance while studying them and found myself lost in its eerie, yet soothing sounds. I can only imagine what an orchestra made up of Cenchoa would sound like and perhaps one day I may get the opportunity to be in the audience for one such performance.

Their full sheet can be found in the Almanac here: https://animaliaalmanac.com/Almanac/Lore/Serpentes/Subspecies/Cenchoa.html

Yes, im sorry the site is officially offline for the pokemon dnd project. You see I got an angry letter from TPC and was told to stop working on the project I had been dedicated to for 5 years and so with a heavy heart I had to closed it all down.

I am now working on my own personal TTRPG project that is based around animals and my own lore and I am no longer working on the dnd pkmn project, sorry.

some of the old race sheets prob can be found on my tumblr page if you still want to look at those and I think a old mod is still running the discord server IIRC, but the project is no longer part of my life as everything Pokemon related kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth now.

how did i get 2 cats??

The Guild log book has been updated!

Log book notes written by Vulpes leader: "The Vulpes documentation has been updated. It should now have all of the different subspecies colors and flags. Each flag is now labeled and should connect back to the Vulpes subspecies they are connected to.. I also added the base legend for the Vulpes species, although its looking a bit dry without any art so I will need to find something for it when I get a second. The text has also been adjusted a little to hopefully read a bit better."

(see full logbook for more info, there are two secrets if you can find them.)

Ever considered being a part of the animalia project? We are currently looking for players for a short one shot so if your interested in joining the one shot or even just giving your input on things come join the discord!

This months subspecies sheet is out! (already? I know!)

This species is known for their amazing cooking skills and golden crown of feathers. Every year a large cooking competition is held on the Schlegeli home island of Macquarie where the most amazing dishes are made. There are prizes for the most tasty dish, but also prize for those that can make a tasty dish with some of the most disgusting tasting ingredients. This is done in the spirit of the Schlegeli legend where their ancestors had to eat the horrible tasting crown of thorns plant to survive.

Subspecies Just Dropped: Grandis (Great Potoo)

The Grandis are a noble subspecies. They guard their targets with unwavering loyalty and many are willing to put down their lives for those that they have sworn to protect. Because of the this the Grandis are often hired for the more dangerous guard duties such as watching dangerous prisoners or repugnant elites.

Although the Grandis choose what jobs they take, many may find themselves taking up less then ideal jobs due to their wandering nature. Most Grandis do not have a place to call home and will sleep out on the hard ground if they do not currently have a job that pays them or gives them free room and board. This is not because they can't own a house, but rather most follow the traditions of their ancestors and choose to not have things that tie them to one place.

this is the subspecies for February!

Anyone have any suggestions for good alt social sites? I've done Instagram a little but not being able to schedule posts on desktop has made it a really hard for me to post there. Twitter also never really worked for me. Most my followers I have here from my pkmn dnd project from back in the day (or bots) and I don't know if I'll be able to get any interest in my current project elsewhere. I have a bluesky account but I'm not sure about there. Happy to hear any suggestions cuse I'm afraid I may be going down with this ship whenever it eventually sinks.

ah the morning dove, this one I do know and i absolutely adore them.

These birds are dust bathers rather then cleaning their feathers with oil like ducks. The mourning in their name comes from is from their melancholy, mournful song.

my 5 second animalia take: there is a small group of Mourning doves who's society prefers to cremate their dead. They will then distribute it among the Aves who's died loved ones. This dust/ ash is often then used by the living within their dust baths when the Mourning dove feels like they need the protection or aid of their loved one that passed. Many who participate in this ritual claim that they can occasionally see their loved ones after using it.

Your in luck! I actually have a whole race sheet for the pootoo as well as a legend here:

I have actually done quite a bit of research for them and am happy to give you a personal take on what one may look like in the world of animalia.

However in the spirit of my 5 second research fix I will do Java finches.

With my 5 seconds of research, I found that Java finches are a bird that has been bred by humans for quite some time and thus are considered quite tame. they have many different morphs and have a love for grain fields like rice.

My 5 second animalia take: there is a Java finches out there who spends much of their time as a butler to a large rice barron. They don't work in the fields themselves as their job is more to maintain the Barron's house, but on their days off they can be found walking through the rice fields inspecting the crop... or that's what they want you to think.

Secrectly, they are looking for rice plants or grains that are of top quality and will secretly place the rice in their pocket or bag. They then will take the rice home to their own secret rice field where they will experiment with the high-quality rice in an attempt to splice a rice plant together and make the most delectable rice in the world. Their rice patch is small, but the rice they grow within it is like nothing anyone else has ever seen...or rather, tasted.

Ooh, I haven't heard of this one. After a quick 5 second research I found these birds are part of the fly catcher family and live near lakes where they use mud to build there nests.

My 5 second animalia headcannon is:

There is a black phoebe that spends most its days drifting down a large river that is hundreds of miles long. They float down it on a raft they made from mud and use a small, hand woven net to skim the serface of the water in an attempt to catch rare bugs. When they reach the end of the river they will sell the bugs they have caught and will travel back to the top of the river and do it all over again with a new raft that they once more craft out of mud. Some say they are looking for a special bug but no one is quite sure what bug, or why they have devotes their life to finding it.
