#batch info

I was asked to come aid in the emptying of an abandoned lab, as there were reports of some inokabe there. I then stumbled upon five inokabe whose DNA appears to have been spliced/mutated with other species of yokai.

These five have some very special adopting requirements, as their needs vary greatly from normal inokabe.

You will have 24 hours to submit the adoption application for the inokabe you'd like to adopt. Normal cooldown rules apply. Specific instrustions below the cut (written submissions must be minimum 300 words please). Good luck!

In honor of finding homes for 58 inokabe and counting, I have a very special batch of inokabes up for adoption!

To be honest, while inokabe are genetically compatible with other yokai, these can barely be called inokabe at this point, since they are inspired by dogs from other nations' folklore!!

The adoption rules for all the inokabes shown below will be as follows:

You must submit 3 total drawings, one of the inokabe alone, one of the inokabe with its potential owner, and a third one of your choice. I ask for at least flat/rough colors for all three, and at least one fullbody drawing of the inokabe. Written submissions are allowed, but must be substantial (as in there's no word requirement per se, but I would like some amount of effort in it please)

Please provide the inokabe(??) with a name! A name that comes from the creatures country of origin will increase your odds! (countries/regions of origin will be provided below).

For the mated pair, you must collab with another artist for the three drawings. (If no entries are recieved for the mated pair, applications will open for solo submissions following the rules stated in #1)

You will have until SATURDAY, MAY 9th at 8:00 PM EST

These guys are a special cross between bears, kinkajous, and chameleons, and are about the size of small bears (4-5ft in length not including tail).

I discovered several of them in the aftermath of a forest fire, and they all need good homes!

Inspired by @dokuzaadopts, I will allow participants to submit art for up to THREE of these guys, and you will be added to both wheels, and might get both, neither, or one.

Entries must have a colored drawing of the one (or all) kinkameleons you'd like to submit for, and a second drawing of them with your oc/sona/their future owner.

Don’t forget to give them names!!

None of these are “bonded” or paired, just drawn together! You do not have to collab with another artist.

The deadline is Monday, May 25th, 2026!

Mutations List:

1. Yellow Glider: Split Tails

2. Red: Long Claws

3. Black and Red & Silver: Extra Horns and Chest Fluff

4. Purple Female: Plumage & Forehead Gem

5. Mother and Daughter Gliders: Bunny ears

6. Green: Alligator Teeth, Visible Claws, Above Average Size

7. Black and Yellow Glider: Antenna instead of Horns, Visible Wings

Let's take another delve into the unearthed den of ancient inokabes! What mighty, magnificent beast will we find?

... Wait. What... is that? There's no way this is one of the ancients?

Well... I guess it was in there? And they all need safe homes. Looks like this fluffball is missing some important mystic absorbing markings on their ears and tail, causing a stunting in their growth. But they'll be just fine!

Adoption Rules:

You must submit an ask containing two drawings: One: a full-body, fully-colored drawing of this spunky floof, and Two: a drawing of you (or your oc) meeting them and include the name you'd like to offer them in the ask (and their decided gender if you'd like). The drawings may be two different images or one on the same canvas. Either is fine.

Ornate Ridgeback Trim (red)

Maned Clover Trim (light green)

Debonair Trim (yellow)

Mutation: Sabre Tooth (light purple)

Mutation: Broken Markings (light purple)

Mutation: White Fangs (dark green)

Mutation: Heterochromia (dark green)

Mutation: Large Tail (dark green)

Unique Subspecies: Wolven Inokabe (wolf)

Mutation: Pointed Ears (wolf)

Mutation: Lacks Markings (wolf)

Mutation: Primal Tail (wolf)

Here are the inokabes for reference:

"Inokabes absorb mystic energy from the markings on their bodies. More ancient versions of these creatures can be found unearthed by construction in the ever-expanding Hidden City, revealing these sleeping beasts."

Manu and I found this big guy sleeping, and with his den disturbed, it's best if we find him a good home!

Adoption Requirements:

You must submit an ask containing two drawings: One, a full-body, fully-colored drawing of this drowsy fella, and Two a drawing of you (or your oc) meeting him and include the name you'd like to offer him in the ask. The drawings may be two different images or one on the same canvas. Either is fine.

The owner will be decided in 24 hours. If only one person submits an ask with all the above requirements, they will recieve ownership automatically. If there are multiple submissions, the owner will be decided by wheel spin.

Those who adopted from the Valentine's litter ARE able to submit asks. Those who adopted from this last batch are NOT.

Size Comparison to Manu for reference (Manu is about the size of a male German Shepherd):

This wild male (gender confirmed during medical treatment) I found seems to be some variant of the Ornate Ridgeback... and he also happens to be a single father!

While male inokabe don't usually care for the pups, in the event of a mate's death, the father will take over. I found him with three pups, two of which have already been adopted out, but this little female (gender also confirmed during medical treatment) seems really attached to her dad!
