Hey all,
A super quick announcement and amendment to our Welcome To January (and Breeding Season) news post!
We have had the Wiglen in production since ~ July, it was a leftover from that set of breeding season sketches. We decided to release it this season since it's all tadpole and cute!
Along with the Wiglen, we have a group of unused sketches that our genus artist has made over the years but not used. Staff thought what we named the Lodon was a good fit for Oske x Pani, and so we had our artist finish that one up. Often our artist will sketch 3-4 poses and ideas for each genus we request (each sketch typically VERY different from the others), and the Lodon looked like it may have been a Miokit sketch. We did, however, double check with all members in authority to make sure this sketch had not been used for any other reason, and were told it was definitely available.
However, that was not the case, and this cute creature was actually a SCC made for a user back from when our genus artist made SCCs for users. (Quite some time ago!). We're not sure where our communication got crossed, but we're pretty upset that this happened and we want to apologize whole-heartedly to the user involved. ;-; <3 The user that owns the species will be more than welcome to take the 400x400 PSD and shading if they wish, along with something else we'll be sending their way.
With that, the "Lodon" is no more, at least in its official capacity! It will, however, happily jump back into it's private owner's lair with a sheepish grin and pointing full blame to the clumsy admins that kidnapped it.
So what does that mean for the breeding season?
Well, the Oske and Pani will remain genera that can be made with the Seasonal Voucher for this season.
We will be having our genus artist finish one of the ideas we had in store for April instead to replace the Lodon. We'll post that as soon as it is ready! And the genera that make up the pairing for that new replacement hybrid will be added to this season's Seasonal Voucher options.
So with that, please make sure to read the news post below regarding the new January additions and the new breeding season. And we apologize both to the users for this confusion/inconvenience and to the specific user who was subject to our kidnapping. <3 ;;

I'd just like to compliment staff on their rapid response to the (I assume the original owners) complaint. It's nice to see that there are times when y'all are able to act quickly - no disrespect meant it's a HUGE site.

Agreed that it does kind of look like a Miokit, lol. It was very cute, but I'm glad we're not having another species that looks so much like other cute-and-fuzzy genera that are already a thing.
✨thym🎆cerpin✨ (#162) It's still on the image server as of this moment as Lodon. Click here to take a look while you still can.
