Terrapups are a canine species with a small affinity for the Bloom element. Despite being a primarily wild species, Terrapups are easily tamed and rank as the number one pet among Kitters, right alongside the equally popular Googators.
​
Terrapups are pack animals and highly intelligent, thus making them fiercely loyal and readily trainable to Kitters who choose to try. The original Terrapup breeds had dull gray and brown coats. Now, there are many Terrapup breeders throughout Ostaria who are constantly bringing new colors into the species through selective breeding.
​
Terrapups are small, ranging from one to two feet at the shoulder, and carry with them armor plating and a high-pitched yelping bark. Despite their armor, Terrapups in good health typically only weigh three to five pounds.
When Terrapups use their limited Bloom elemental abilities, their under-eye armor glows the color of the element. They can emit these abilities from their armor or paws, and thus are often seen prancing through wooded areas or fields with a line of fresh flowers and grass behind them.
​
Due to their affinity for Bloom, Terrapups were once mistaken as spirits of the earth before they were discovered as a species.
Terrapups have an array of traits ranging in rarity from common to rare. Often, Terrapups will only have 1 rare trait at most with highly valuable Terrapups having 4 or more.

As the name would imply, Googators are sticky reptilian creatures who are often dripping with sweet goo of different flavors, including honey, syrup, and chocolate. These messy pets are quite short, ranging from two to three feet from ground to shoulder, but have very long bodies, ranging from five to six feet from head to tail. They are quite heavy, often weighing eighty to ninety pounds. Their bodies are surprisingly solid. The most gooey parts of them are inside their mouths, at the ends of their tails, and on their feet.
Googators are known for their adorable dumbness and goofy blank expression. They have a tendency to walk into walls, stare at mirrors, and even sometimes follow their own goo trail, resulting in them walking in circles as they search for the end of the trail.
Googators are omnivores, eating almost any kind of vegetation and meat. They sometimes have trouble figuring out what is edible and what isn't, resulting in them trying out new foods, including furniture, wood, and toys. Until a Googator has learned what is food and what isn't, new owners should keep their Googators away from anything that looks remotely edible.
Found in The Tropics and Dead Swamp, Googator populations are surprisingly stable despite their lack of intelligence. This is due to the fact that they can become quite ferocious when in danger. With their powerful jaws and ability to simply replenish any lost goo from their bodies, there are few predators who can challenge an angry Googator. A Googator pet should be trained as soon as it is born so that it does not attack Kitters when it feels threatened.
Owners often enjoy dressing up their Googators in little outfits and booties. The Googators do not seem to mind wearing these, their blank expressions seeming to indicate that they're not even aware that clothes are put on them. In the villages of The Tropics and Dead Swamp, Googators are more than just cute pets, serving as a one of the main forms of transportation.
Farmers and local businesses often sell Googator goo as a natural sweetener. The flavor of a Googator’s goo can be found by looking at their color. Brown equals chocolate, golden is honey, amber is syrup, ect. Googators do not mind having some goo taken away from them, as they do not even seem to be aware that they're dripping goo everywhere they walk.
Googators are wonderful pets, but owners should note that they are also very messy. It is recommended not to let them wander the house unless you want sticky goo everywhere. Additionally, though they can be taught not to attack, there are few other things they can be taught due to their lack of intelligence.
- When two Googators meet, they simply stare blankly at each other
- Googators don't seem to care if a Terrapup starts licking the goo off of them
- If a television is on, they'll simply stare at it until it's turned off
- Surprisingly swift short-distance runners
- Very skilled swimmers, but tend to swim in circles without a guide
Felthurr
Known for being fierce protectors, Felthurr were prized by hunters and warriors in ancient days. They embody the best traits of cats and birds, possessing the reflexes, grace, and night vision of felines combined with the eyesight and swift flying skills of birds. They are the rulers of the food chain, commanded by none save a Kitter that manages to gain their trust.
These mighty animals range greatly in height and weight. Some of the smaller breeds are only half the height of a Meep while others can be intimidatingly large, standing just a little higher than a Meep.
With hunting becoming less common and no wars having been fought in the last century, Felthurr are now trained for fun tournaments rather than fierce battles. Felthurr owners teach their pets how to race, catch targets mid-flight, and maneuver through obstacle courses. The tournaments test the prowess of the Felthurr, the skill of the owner to guide his Felthurr, and the bond between owner and pet.
Felthurr are not for those who seek an easy to train pet or someone to cuddle with. These animals are proud of their skills and heritage, accepting only those who prove themselves worthy of being obeyed. To obey the commands of a foolish master is something that no Felthurr will ever willingly endure. They seek owners who will guide them rightly, show them care, and above all, demonstrate strength of will. Those who manage to win the trust of a Felthurr will never regret it, as these animals will never abandon an owner. Once bonded, nothing short of death will separate a Felthurr from its master.

Addendum by Lolly the Pet Shopkeeper: Have you started writing? Right now? Oh, got it! So you know that neck plumage on Felthurr? They use that to attract mates. Whenever they’re looking for one, they strut around and show it off like they’re some bigshot. This can make the bigger Felthurr look quite intimidating. Don’t worry, it’s not being aggressive. It’s just looking for its true love. Actually, I wonder if the Felthurr next door would like Rukk’s Felthurr? Maybe I could help those two out...
Whoops, getting off subject! Anyway, Felthurr also are used by some Kitters to keep pests away. Rukk, the owner of Moonbrick Farm, uses his Felthurr to protect his crops from pests and Inklings. Trust me, there’s no better hunter or guard than a Felthurr.
