i have been building up my species for over 2 years now. they already have their own lore and alphabet too, kinda just realized i was making my own species tho. mainly because i started when i was 10 and didnt know what furries were lol
My species is called Silk Batbeasts my OC of them is Macaroni she's very sweet but also pretty sassy and has a fake Protogen mask that she stores in the back of her closet for when it's game night with her friends
Thanks! I love your V-Tuber! So pretty and cool! Anyway, I made a species called a Cashsea. Its like a moth and those orange and blue things from subnautica: below zero mixed but with warmer colors and 2 reddish brownish eyes on its bottom wings :)I love it!
I really like the tips on this video! I think I’ll try a few out I havnt tried out before. I try to make species but fail, like my failed SlaySpawn, Galactic Gaurdians, Calotens, etc. I think I’ll try to see where these tips take me with a new species ^^
I've got a custom species in the works, but mostly did the lore, anatomy, name, and everything else except the drawings because my aet skills aren't super great. But im proud with how it turned out :)
Just started working on my own species based on an absolute BUNCH of things that made my childhood. My objective is to gather all those memories and turn that into something unique but simple at the same time... Hope I can do it. Thanks for the tips. I would like some tips about NAMING the species too, since that's where I tend to struggle the most.
Naming can be difficult, ideally you want something no one else has. That way you always show at the top of the searches for it. You might have to make a nonsense word. For example one of my species is Bubble Cugs. Cug because they're cow slugs, bubble because it's one of the major themes. Either of those alone might be taken but together they're not.
I'm just now revamping one of the species I have cause I needed a better ref for them cause the old one is out of date, this def helps with what I'm trying to do
I’m excited to start working on my own species! Idk if I should just make some lore, or like an entire book of lore, an alphabet, and an entire habitat.
This means a lot Ive been working on a species for years, and im just now getting really deep into them. They are called warbirds I have their cultures, planets, biology, religion planned. Im finally writing it all in probably two docs. And your last point is so true, warbirds started off as LOMBAXES from ratchet and clank, until i wanted to go in a different direction and make them more bird like.
My species akinas was just me having a random obsessing with deer and forest but I didn’t want them too like deers so that’s how the akinas where born , and also the obsession with stars and space
I am obsessed with worldbuilding and all the species that come up from that and get interest, friends say I should make them into original species... so I finally did with one I created 5-6 years ago! The last tip is definitely the best one. The species I like the *most* are the ones that come from a place of passion
Oh neat! I've been making a species called Spectras for a couple years and I want to make them very successful! Ty for the video!! I just love my species and want others to love them too x3
Definitely really helpful cause I've recently have continued making my species batinu's a Shiba inu+bat hybrid with dragon+cat like features, and very mischievous nature and by the help of a few friends i hope to get them out by Halloween!
HOI. this video is neat! im still working on my species called LustrePulze species. been working on em for fun! and i just love how my species are. semi open, love ur videos bte and keep at em
This is definitely helpful, and I will take all of this into consideration as I'm making my own species. The species I'm making are actually meant to fit in with a dnd setting I'm working on as well, so lots of high fantasy and divine intervention
I have made species for lore reasons for a personal project, but it would be cool if someone made characters based on them, But sometimes im afraid theyre only interesting to me.
I wouldn't consider it a species per say, but my gf made like...cloud/mist ppl once and we basically turned it into a society of its own lol If I ever learn how to make money through art I'd LOVE to make adopts of them
I'm brainstorming a species as I watch this! They're currently called Space Cats, and although the feline appearance, actually originated from their own planet from canon slime creatures! They have no mouth and instead absorb special moonlight from the moon that orbits their planet. They range in personality from calm, likeable felines to absolute gremlins! I might add more once I'm done with the species.
I have a species of my own that I created when just doodling and I have poured tons of lore and ideas into them, from the continent they live on having a war with the united kingdom (long story) to something as subtle as gender differences. I saw this vid as I was sketching a character of this species and I have my own server for them and I'm trying to grow a community (if you want the link I can put it in the replies) (also the server is for my 4 different species, all pretty simple, but still, the original one is the "main focus" of the server.) I have put my heart and soul into this species and I have loved every second of it.
I’m currently working on a BUNCH of species for a world building project, and the main and most developed species is my favorite, even though they have *ZERO* and I mean *ZERO* natural variation in color or shape, but they are intelligent humanoids, which means there are almost no limits on what accessories, clothes, or other unnatural modification they can have, which means even though they don’t vary in natural appearance, in modern times they can be as diverse in appearance as humans can be. Edit: there is ONE thing that allows some good variability: they have wings, and those wings are not like any found in the natural world. They are large, and they are thin and papery, yet they are still strong and flexible. They have no skin, bones, or even blood supply, and very few nerves so their wings feel very little pain, which means they can have piercings to attach jewelry to, and the wings can also be carved into to create patterns, possibly even have colored plastics attached to the holes to create a sun catcher effect.
Thanks for the tips, i wanted to try my hands at one, since i made a cute looking critter, but im too dumb too see where the important stuff is thx for the listing ^^
This is sooo helpful! I’m just gonna look for some weird sona creation in my old books from a long time ago (joke loll) I actually think an original species would be really cool haha I actually already have an idea!
I created a new series titled My Kitty And Me Searching For Love, which is a teen romantic urban phantasy about a girl named Mellissa, who can talk to animals, and is an artist, plus she falls in love with Tony. Both of them get the news that Princess Camelia lost Pendant of Heart, thus they recruit Athena, Nathan, Eva, Marcus, Kai and Nika to choose the right pet for each teenager. During every mission to choose the pet for each child, Nora, Azalea, Olgoi and Khorkhoi, Dellusia and Lorelei try to steal the right pet they have chosen for a teenager in question, but later, during the series, they redeem themselves and join Mellissa's team. After that, Mellissa confronts her father, believing him to be a mad scientist that created the monstrous evil versions of her cute animal creations, but he tells her he is a scientist that makes cute cuddly animals out of her drawings using his science. Bumblebee Gang find Pendant Of Heart and return it to Princess Camelia, whom they recruit to Mr. Tophat, who has kidnapped Mellissa's father and was manipulating Nora's father to make dark and evil imaginary animals. As the series progresses, Mellisa is afraid of kangaroos because of her past trauma (being attacked and kicked by a kangaroo) and Nora exploits her weakness by drawing carnivorous kangaroos and bringing her drawing to life with magic, but later, Nora stops drawing carnivorous kangaroos and Mellissa defeats her fear of kangaroos Imaginary animals that are in my series (my original species): bumblecat (self explanatory, created by Mellissa) jebadeniz (nudibranch musky rat kangaroo hybrid, created by Mellissa) nudibrechapin ( created by Mellissa) kitsunekosagi (fox cat rabbit hybrid, created by Mellissa) merrechapin (created by Mellissa) merlemur (fully marine lemur that looks like a mermaid, created by Mellissa) limerrechapin (created by Mellissa) Japanese sky caterpillar (sorakemushi) (created by Mellissa) Chinese sky caterpillar (tianmaomaochong) (created by Mellissa) pohodeniz (nudibranch tree kangaroo hybrid, created by Mellissa) shokajanju (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) chaahenju (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) dushtunju (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) nrshansanju (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) galatnahinju (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) laalacheenju (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) rakshaseenju (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) bhayanju (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) namakharamju (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) amokaroo (carnivorous kangaroo, created by Nora) umiushimerlemur (created by Mellissa) pappilorechapin (created by Mellissa) luciorechapin (created by Mellissa) abellirechapin (created by Mellissa) coccinelerechapin (created by Mellissa) sphyngaroo (created by Mellissa and Nora) sharoo (created by Mellissa and Nora) Imaginary animals that are in my series (previously existing imaginary species): peryton (one of the forms it takes is carnivorous kangaroo bird hybrid that casts human like shadow; created by Nora) bunyip (created by Nora) Monkey King (created by Mellissa) kitsune (created by Mellissa) kumiho (created by Nora) huli jing (created by Mellissa and Nora) yamaarashi (created by Nora) nekomata (created by Mellissa) Moon Rabbit (created by Mellissa) Pigsy (created by Mellissa) Loch Ness monster (created by Mellissa) chupacabra (created by Nora) Jersey devil (created by Nora) griffin (created by Mellissa) phoenix (created by Mellissa) Sandy Demon (onager donkey version, created by Mellissa) lutoulang and bo (created by Mellissa and Nora) sphynx (created by Mellissa) kamaitachi (created by Nora) underwater panther (created by Mellissa) mokele mbembe (created by Mellissa) chimaera (created by Nora) raiju (created by Mellissa) Princess Iron Fan (lemur rechapin hybrid version, created by Mellissa) dingonek (created by Mellissa and Nora) fenghuang (created by Mellissa) tizheruk (created by Nora) akhlut (created by Nora) unicorn (created by Mellissa) dragons (created by Mellissa and Nora) qilin (created by Mellissa) shisa, Fu dog and komainu (created by Mellissa) My Kitty And Me Searching For love characters and their pets: Mellissa - Abyssinian cat and bee Tony - Maine Coon cat Athena - owl Eva - snake Nika - English greyhound Charlie - American shorthair cat and raccoon Sammy - Siamese cat and Scottish terrier Nathan - Siberian husky Marcus - English mastiff Kai - Brazilian shorthair cat Nora - stray mutt dog other kids - different cats and dogs, ferret, hamster, turtle, gecko, thrush, blackbird, jackdaw, baby chick, rabbit, pony, pig, robin, goldfish, bottlenose dolphin, orca, numbat, baby duckling, musky rat kangaroo, chinchilla, dormouse, goat, Indian golden oriole, corn snake, pike, barracuda, great white shark, hammerhead shark, swordfish, Eastern grey kangaroo, woodpecker, millipede, hermit crab, pangolin, squirrel, mandarinfish, frog, muntjac deer, hedgehog, big lutrine opossum, Virginia opossum, Derby's wooly opossum, Patagonian opossum, water opossum, gray four eyed opossum, anteater, quetzal, parrot, caterpillar, duiker, lemur, otter, anthias, giraffe, turtle dove, cuckoo, jewel beetle, scaly tailed possum, stick bug, dartfish, sugar glider, beaver, Indian roller, bustard, dormouse, walking leaf bug, marsupial lion, marsupial wolf, Tasmanian devil, cardinalfish, longhorn beetle, quokka, dottyback, chinchilla, genet, klipspringer, light vented bulbul, quoll, tree kangaroo, civet, palm civet, African palm civet, mongoose, angelfish, surgeonfish, mandarin fish, butterflyfish, garden eel, parrotfish, stingray, Moorish idol, nudibranch, clownfish, pipefish, sea horse, chromis, damselfish, snakehead etc.
These are some really great tips for making something marketable and appealing! I'd love to add that not every original species needs to be a community based one, that there is a big difference between what I'd consider a "headworld" species and a furry fandom "open/closed" species. The two can easily overlap, such as with vernids, but also not every species needs to be brandable. I say this reading the comments and seeing people talk about accidentally creating species, and as someone who has created my own species since I was young because I love biology, the vast majority I'd never try to brand and wouldn't have enough variety to make different individual designs. But hey even then something you don't expect others to like ends up sticking, ya never know!
have you ever thought of doing something of a uh....ampwave? i know this is the wrong video to comment on but I thought suggest this to the most recent video haha
i have a species but i made it to be different from everyone. OvO yeah it has attributes of like 5 different animal and it could have tons of varients but....im lazy, secondly, im not great at ref sheet thirdly, i want my oc to be special to me even if no one cares XD lolz. but maybe after i write my full story about how my oc was developed and etc. then i might just throw it out there idk. :P *blep*
+ don't just make a mismash of traits, group similar traits with variants, organize the species, and provide rhyme and reason to them, if theirs a subspecies that limited or off limits, explain why! Is it like leaders of the group only? Mutants with mutations sure make the creature look cool and edgy but also endanger it's own well being, etc! + Consider gender and disabilities, so many fcmg open and closed species make unnecessary strange and isolating rules against have Queer and disabled characters, either outright outlawing them or limiting them HEAVILY which is gross and homophobic, as well as generally just ablest. It's caused drama time and time again, just budundundj. Also if your character species is agender sexless, actually freaking commit to it instead of unessarily adding boobies.
Hey thanks for dragging me down further into the “I just think they’re neat -> actual furry” pipeline by making a species that probably sucks despite these tips lol
I’m making a better fruit based species than the citras to! They are called furleaves and have leaves instead of tails and one or two on top of their heads. I don’t want to get into lore right now, but I am very proud as they are my first original species! (:
I finally made the species lore and rules I can send you link on discord? Its a google doc, until i find a site to move it to or until i LEARN how to make a site
i have been building up my species for over 2 years now. they already have their own lore and alphabet too, kinda just realized i was making my own species tho. mainly because i started when i was 10 and didnt know what furries were lol

Thanks a ton! Thinking on making a species and was heavily inspired by things I’ve seen in gift shops whilst on vacation like plush snakes
I'm working on a species called lepofeli or lipofeli still working on it, and I'm going to use these tips, and I'm also making a group for it hehe
I’m excited to start working on my own species! Idk if I should just make some lore, or like an entire book of lore, an alphabet, and an entire habitat.

These are some really great tips for making something marketable and appealing! I'd love to add that not every original species needs to be a community based one, that there is a big difference between what I'd consider a "headworld" species and a furry fandom "open/closed" species. The two can easily overlap, such as with vernids, but also not every species needs to be brandable. I say this reading the comments and seeing people talk about accidentally creating species, and as someone who has created my own species since I was young because I love biology, the vast majority I'd never try to brand and wouldn't have enough variety to make different individual designs. But hey even then something you don't expect others to like ends up sticking, ya never know!
have you ever thought of doing something of a uh....ampwave? i know this is the wrong video to comment on but I thought suggest this to the most recent video haha
They're on the list. Mochi Raptors were long and ampwaves seem to be that way too. I'm probably going to relax with something simpler this week.

Edward - armadillo, pangolin, porcupine, dragon, phoenix, wild boar, rhinoceros, brown bear, water buffalo or bombardier beetle

Errrrrbaaaady
Lol you're a riot Sera. :3
i have a species but i made it to be different from everyone. OvO yeah it has attributes of like 5 different animal and it could have tons of varients but....im lazy, secondly, im not great at ref sheet thirdly, i want my oc to be special to me even if no one cares XD lolz. but maybe after i write my full story about how my oc was developed and etc. then i might just throw it out there idk. :P *blep*
Can you make an original species just for fun or does it have to be a whole thing?
You can make it just for fun. This tip video was for people who want to do so less casually.
omg i am so sorry when you talked i was blown away, i was expecting a really like feminine voice 🤣and ty for the help!
😔
Ur so cute love Ur videos always inspiring
+ don't just make a mismash of traits, group similar traits with variants, organize the species, and provide rhyme and reason to them, if theirs a subspecies that limited or off limits, explain why! Is it like leaders of the group only? Mutants with mutations sure make the creature look cool and edgy but also endanger it's own well being, etc!
+ Consider gender and disabilities, so many fcmg open and closed species make unnecessary strange and isolating rules against have Queer and disabled characters, either outright outlawing them or limiting them HEAVILY which is gross and homophobic, as well as generally just ablest. It's caused drama time and time again, just budundundj. Also if your character species is agender sexless, actually freaking commit to it instead of unessarily adding boobies.
Hey thanks for dragging me down further into the “I just think they’re neat -> actual furry” pipeline by making a species that probably sucks despite these tips lol
info again! subscribe to this person! it nice :)
IM MAKING A LESBIAN SPECIES OUT OF SPITE TO THE CREATOR OF CITRAS >:D
I’m making a better fruit based species than the citras to! They are called furleaves and have leaves instead of tails and one or two on top of their heads. I don’t want to get into lore right now, but I am very proud as they are my first original species! (:
I finally made the species lore and rules
I can send you link on discord? Its a google doc, until i find a site to move it to or until i LEARN how to make a site
