Pikoo (Domestic Pets)

Pronounced: Pee-Coo
Female & Male: Pikoo | Baby: Peeking

Pikoo are highly domesticated, tapir-like creatures once originally native to a tropical continent far, far from Whistler Crest. They've long since been almost entirely made extinct in the wild, but are thriving and are incredibly popular as pets. It is likely that, if not for their domestication, they'd have certainly gone extinct due to their poor survival skills and lack of adaptable diet. It's unknown how they behave in the wild, as most of their population exists in captivity, but their domesticated behavior has been very well documented and much has been discovered about their sociology as they are very easy to observe due to their intense desire to be social. Pikoo are incredibly friendly, loving creatures that are endlessly loyal to only a single owner in their entire life. If their owner dies or leaves them, they will loose all will, refusing food and water, and will quickly wither away. They are good companions to people with sedentary lives and very rigid schedules, but will prove burdensome to those who are social with irregular schedules, and spent long bouts of time away from home or are busy when they are home.

Heart Betta (Domestic Pets)

Pronounced: Hart Bet-tah
Female: Kisses| Male: Hugs | Baby: Squishes

Because of this, these fish are often found kept as pets.

Hopket (Domestic Pets)

Pronounced: Hop-keh-tis
Female: Hoppi | Male: Hop | Baby: Joey

Hopkets are cheerful, playful creatures bestowed to the residents of Whistler Crest by the infamous Grand Giver as a gift in order to help ease the tension and fear left behind during the last HH. They love to play and can play for hours at a time. Their bright and playful demeanor is perfect for kids and their ability to mimic anything- including voices!- makes playtime with them all the more fun and exciting(don't forget the pranking capability)! They are not the smartest creatures, far from it in fact. They don't seem to fully register pain and instead tend to laugh and giggle as if they just pulled a prank, so as their owners it would be highly recommended you keep a careful eye on them less they get themselves really hurt!

Despite that they are very resilient creatures, able to withstand pretty much any temperature and condition you throw at them, as to them it's nothing short of a game. They see everything through the lenses of a child and as such hardly take anything seriously, though they do seem to have an innate ability to tell when their owner needs comfort or a distraction and will give such thing as needed, making them great companions for any and everyone.

Comfiki (Domestic Pets)

Pronounced: Com-Fee-Kee

Paired with their fixed expressions and stitch like markings, Comfiki resemble living plushies! Docile and incredibly affectionate nature, Comfiki are perfect to snuggle up with.

The orb on a Comfiki’s tail emits a soft light, and it’s warmth is especially popular with children, or anyone who has trouble getting a good nights rest. Comfiki tend to bond to one owner, but will do just fine around other individuals. They especially love to be around one of their own, and will sing and chirp to communicate with one another. Their tune changes with their mood and a good rule of thumb is the brighter and longer the tune, the happier your Comfiki is! It has been known to be good luck to bring Comfiki together on the last day of the Dark Year and let them sing together, as is said their tune is sweetest around this time. Choirs are led by the Comfiki with the happiest voice—known as the “cantor”—and will sing past midnight and into the new year.
