Squibs Overview

What is a Squib?

Squibs are diverse species of aquatic mammals that have evolved to exist across any ecosystem. They come in a wide range of traits, colors, and patterns; no Squib is like the other!

Squibs can appear both in a quadrupedal form and a bipedal form. Their presented form does not affect their capabilities!

shapes n sizes

Some Squibs grow as tall as a horse, and others stay the size of a house cat. The vast majority of Squibs fall within this range, but outliers occasionally appear...

The common Squib sizes are known as Sammy (Horse-sized), Sue, and Pixie (Cat-sized). 

Subtypes

There are four known subtypes of Squib: Saltwater, Freshwater, Squibble, and Krakens. Saltwater and Freshwater are the most common Squibs, while Squibble and Krakens are extremely rare to come across.

Face Tentacles
Face tentacles can be long or short, thin or wide! Typically, a Squib has 3-6 face tentacles.

Suckers
Suckers appear on the bottom side of a Squib's legs, and underneath their face tentacles. A Squib is able to hide the appearance of their suckers!

All Squibs have an extra set of tentacles on their bodies, that can be hidden at will. They do not have suckers, and cannot mimic limbs. Each Squib only has one set of these tentacles.
Additional tentacles do not need to be shown on the masterlist image.

Ink
Ink can be any color, and shot out of a Squib's mouth at will! 
Ink does not need to be shown on the masterlist image.

magic (TBA)

As creatures of a mana-rich ocean, all Squibs are born with the capabilities for magic. They begin their journey with untrained magic skills. This allows them to: make extremely light objects float, cast basic elemental skills, shift between anthro and feral forms, and create low-tier potions and weapons. Additionally, Squibs can shoot water from their mouths!

More about magic will come in a future update, stay tuned!
