Release the Whales

New Feature

"If you have a moment to spare, I could use your help in some very valuable marine research! We're currently studying the Scarl and to complete our research, we need more Mermaid's Purses."

It seems while everyone has been busy exploring the far corners of Ay (for snapdragons), the Museum has opened a new Marine Research department! If you have a Mermaid's Purse and help them out, you may just walk out with a whale of friend!

Introducing Marine Reasearch and a New Genus!

Welcome the Orcinus!


The Orcinus is a new Rare genus that can be obtained through the Museum Marine Research feature!

Once you visit the Marine Research page, you will find yourself on a page listing whether or not you have any Mermaid's Purse. You can turn in a Mermaid's Purse and receive 1 Research Point.

Once you have accumulated points, the Curator will offer you special items for a certain number of points.

Carved Whale Charm
This item costs only 2 Research points, but will allow you to upload a Metal Orcinus custom!

This item is automatically credited to you when you reach 5 Research points, and will allow you to upload an Orcinus custom with up to 50% edits!


Unlike the Mermaid's Purse, these items are not bound to account. So if you find yourself lucky (or unlucky) with finding Mermaid's Purse to turn in yourself, you can buy and sell the Orcinus custom makers. You can find the PSD by clicking on the Orcinus above or visiting the Pet Genus Guidebook page!

So if you want to pick up a new friend or two (or three, who's counting?), make your way to the Museum Marine Research department!

Lmao. I have such horrible luck getting mermaid purses. I’ve gotten like 3 since they were released. So I’m glad the new one isn’t account bound too!!!

ooh another baby for the Plushie Collection. I had finally gotten all the genus, now this will have to be added to the list.

@Eve - You know me ... lol Have to ask how will this be classified breeding wise for getting one from breeding? I'm guessing Rare? So for things like a Blind Date or a Genus in a Bottle roll would it be under Rare?

♑ Voluspa ♑ (#67552) - I seriously don't know how I get so many, genuinely. I lost so many over the Snapdragon event because I didn't want to eat into time I could use to help my team by colouring one XDD But yes, for better or worse I've mix-and-matched the repository PSDs and coloured 39 Scarl, and bought 1 design ^^;;;

Tae (#66637) - Yup, the Oricus is a Rare genus! It follows the same rules as the Scarl =)

Sweet. Wasn't sure if it would be rare or very rare. I don't think I have any with rare rolls right now, but I do have some genus in a bottle I haven't used yet so maybe?

The ocarina geek in me is hyperventilating right now. Love it!
