Breeding your Kitters

This image is a breeding chart. Above each secondary element are the two basic elements--Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Void, or Light--required to create it. For example, Earth and Water would make Ink. These elemental combinations are the only way to get a secondary element without being a mod or earning a special voucher.

If two secondary elements breed, they will have a Meep that meets one of the following criteria:

-50% chance of having one parent’s element.

-20& chance of being an original element if the parents share an element in their lineage (such as if Ink and Metal were to breed they could have an Earth element Meep because they both have an Earth element parent.)

30% chance of being a combination of the parents' lineage. For example; an Ink and Metal pair could have a Smoke Meep because the parents have fire and water in their lineage.

How Kitters Come to Be

Kitters come from crystals.

Kitters aren’t born or hatched; they’re summoned into existence. The Kitter pair who gains a crystal feeds a bit of their elemental power into it. Since this is how Kitters are born, Kitter pairs of any gender combination can have Meeps. This feeding of the elements into the crystal is what makes secondary elements.

The crystals come from the Crystal Caverns, where the Crystal Keeper watches over and protects them. The Crystal Keeper is stingy with crystals and will only give them to Kitters she thinks are old enough to handle a Meep (The minimum age is six months). Every user has one free crystal voucher. If you want more, you will need to buy them in the shop. This is to keep the Kitter population down to a reasonable level. Kitters also must wait three months in between breedings.

How to Design Crystals:

The crystal’s colors depend on the Meep inside. The crystal shown to the right is a typical color pattern: the accent color at the top, the main color underneath it, and the eye color in the formation at the bottom. It is possible for crystals to be colored differently based upon whether they have unique or special markings/designs/colors.

Crystals must always have the Meep’s eye color in the bottom formation. The majority of the crystal will need to be the Meep’s main color. You’re free to add speckles or stripes or whatever for the accent color. You may draw the layout of the crystals however you want, but you must have a bottom formation like the one above and at least one spike portion like the five spikes above.

How to breed the Kitters:

You must follow these steps to breed Kitters

Find a partner for your Kitter. As stated above, they can be any gender. The Crystal Keeper will give out crystals to Kitters without partners who want to be parents. However, a crystal requires energy from two Kitters, so the original Kitter would have to find someone willing to help them. The partner can NOT be an NPC. It must be an actual Kitter either with the same owner as the first or another user’s Kitter.

Draw two colored pictures with backgrounds (at least one by each person involved in the Kitter breeding must draw an image; if you’re breeding two of your own Kitters, you have to draw both). The pictures must depict either the Kitters clearly being a couple or one Kitter convincing the other to help them with a crystal.

One of the Kitter owners must note the group with the following information:

Links to parents' references:

Parents' upgrade lists:

Links to breeding images:

Which one of the Kitters' owners will be keeping the crystal:

Link to last summoned Meep (if applicable):

The one who is keeping the crystal must make mention that they are using their free crystal or if they are using a bought crystal voucher.

An admin will randomize the Meep’s traits and colors and reply to the owner. The owner may then design their crystal. Bred Meeps can have up to five traits from their parents or none at all. The rarer the trait the less likely it is to appear on the Meep. Bred Meeps will always have the accent, main, and eye color of one of their parents. A bred Meep’s element is also randomized from the parents' elements, based on the breeding chart at the beginning of the page. Original Six Element parents will always have the mix of their element in their Meep.

The user keeping the crystal must leave it as a crystal for one week to let the elements within set before summoning the Meep. The crystal will often attach itself somewhere on the back of one parent between the neck and tail tip. This must be depicted at least twice in full color for the Meep to be summoned.

Once the Meep is summoned, it will need to be submitted with the appropriate app to the Bred Meeps journal. The crystal will fall off of the parent, and once the Meep is accepted, they can be played with!

The meep application should have this form in the description:

Name: (Your bred meep's name!)

Gender: (What your Meep identifies as)

Creation: Bred

Type: (Standard, Starmaker, Muddie, or Neddle?)

Upgrades: (The upgrades your Meep inherited)

Parents: (Links tothe parents' references)

Forbidden Breeding

Void Element Kitters are forbidden from breeding with any element other than Void or Light. If you wish to breed your Void Kitter with a different element, then you will have to either purchase a Void Breeding Voucher OR both of the Kitters being bred will have to be given up due to being sent to the Clawtooth Islands prison. You will not be able to play with or draw the parents again and they will be added to the Clawtooth Gallery. Forbidden breeds/elements can be seen above.

Forbidden Element Kitters may breed with one another as the world of Kitter Keep has created a potion that forces the elemental energy a Forbidden Kitter puts in the crystal to be the element they have that is NOT void. For example, an Ectoplasm Kitter would donate their air half only.

Pedigree

Be sure to list and link not just your new meep's parents but also all other member-made kitters in its family line! Meeps can inherit genes from their grandparents and even farther back if their parents were also bred meeps rather than MYOs or adopts!

List and link your new Meep's family tree in both the note you send to the group (so that the mods can make sure to add the chance of those past generations into the mix) and in your bred meep's app.
