    User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Please do not pester the shop staff if you are waiting on a slipper, potion, or breeding - pets take time to create and bugging us will not make us go any faster. Feel free to PM the shop mule if you think we may have forgotten your order entirely, however!

  • Do not beg or whine for a slipper, free or otherwise.

  • Do not bother people for slipper romance/breeding partners.
    You are welcome to offer and plan breedings in-thread, just don't be obnoxious!

    (Or any pets or art from anywhere, for that matter!)

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.The origin of fuzzy slippers is cloudy at best. There has been a small population of them for hundreds of years, waxing and waning like the moon in obscurity. What we do know is that the first slippers were created from a lonely wizard in days of yore. The components of the magical spell have long been lost, though two integral ingredients are known: Dragon Tears and Unicorn Hair. These great magical beasts’ contributions were vital to the creation of Fuzzy Slippers and, even to this day, on rare occasions their essences will emerge. But, more on this later.

The slippers the wizard created were little more than animated objects for years. Eventually they learned to manifest legs and tails, and soon became virtually indistinguishable from normal cats and dogs. It is unknown if the Father Wizard was even still alive when the slippers learned to take on a more human form. The ancient line of slippers has since been passed on, slipper to slipper, through the secret and highly-guarded secret of Magical Thread Weaving and good old-fashioned child-rearing.

The magic behind the Fuzzy Slippers is unknown. They start as just mundane, normal slippers. Plush and stuffing… just like you would buy out of any retail store. But sewing into a slipper a magic-infused thread (a secret held exclusively by the slippers themselves) into them can bring them to life. It is unknown why it only works on footwear: sewing magical thread into stuffed animals, sweaters, Beanie Babies, earmuffs, and other such sundry has yielded no results. Also, the footwear must have a vaguely animal shape: for example, it cannot bring a sneaker to life. In addition, only certain species have managed to be “awakened” since the original cats and dogs. Currently: foxes, mice, raccoons, chickens, sea lions, and bunnies have been success experiments

The Fuzzy Slipper Shop is tucked away in Barton Town, a new shop in an old part of town. The stone building hosts a large window in which the most adorable fuzzy bedroom slippers you've ever seen are on proud display. A small bell chimes as the large wooden door is opened. In every shape and color the slippers adorn the shelves, their black, shiny lacquer eyes starting out into space in a constant transfixed state of ignorant bliss.

These slippers, though they could almost be described as magical by their sheer cuteness alone, however, they are truly enchanted. Once the slipper is put on by its new owner, it comes to life! A spark of intelligence glints in their eyes, and they can mew, bark, growl, hiss, and wuffle their little plush hearts away.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Fuzzy Slipper breeding is a magical process that results in up to four beautiful new baby slippers! All slipper species can breed with each other, and gender is no concern either - when it comes to the weaving of magical cloth and thread, anything goes. heart

Breedings are opened by colorists in The Factory - please check their individual threads for openings! And before requesting a breeding, please make sure you read through the Breeding Rules and Guidelines. :>

If you have adult or anthro slippers that would like to form a life-long bond, then please visit the Slipper Bonding thread in the guild! Anthro slippers who are bonded have access to a special type of breeding, and it's a way of recognizing the devotion of any slipper couple. <3

Fuzzy Slippers are not roleplay required! However, roleplaying can be both fun and profitable - repeated roleplay will allow your slipper to become an anthro or obtain a rare trait (angelic, demonic, fairy) without buying an expensive potion! Information on roleplaying rewards can be found here.

Slippers have various limitations at various stages of life. As they grow, they can do more and more...


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Slipper:

In slipper form, an enchanted slipper acts very much like a young kitten or puppy. They are curious, active, and often getting into trouble. They can only communicate in series of purrs, yips, meows, or growls. Slippers move by thumping their bodies along like hyperactive seals!

Rare traits, dragon slippers, and chicken slippers: A slipper with rare cannot fly at this stage - wings are solely a decorative concern, though they can be wriggled about in a cutely inept fashion.


Child:

At the second stage of development, the young fuzzies are beginning to become more aware of their surroundings. They cannot speak human languages, but they can speak to other Slippers. They are still very childlike, often teasing and testing the limits of their parents' rules. They are sensitive, and their feelings can easily be hurt. Child-stage slippers move as normal animals of their species would.

Rare traits, dragon slippers, and chicken slippers: The child slipper cannot yet fly, but he/she can glide!


Adult:

Adult slippers are fully grown! While they cannot speak human languages, they are just as intelligent as a human being. They can try to communicate to their human owners through meows/barks, and body language. Some rather bright Slippers can even learn to write a few words! Adult-stage slippers move as normal animals of their species would. They do not have opposable thumbs, but they may grasp objects in their mouths/beaks or clap them between their paws/claws.

Rare traits, dragon slippers, and chicken slippers: The adult slipper can fly! At long last!


Anthro:

When a slipper becomes an anthro, they gain the ability to speak in human languages - while retaining the ability to speak to their slipper friends. Learning how to read and write is difficult for them, but not impossible. They move as humans do, though they also have animalistic instincts related to their slipper species. They can manipulate objects with their hands as well.

Rare traits, dragon slippers, and chicken slippers: Flight capabilities increase; the anthro slipper can soar hundreds of feet in the air!
