To celebrate the release of my files for the Emmunos and Evmunis, I made pixel art cliques of each variety!
Go get them on my Cliques page! I’ve added more from others’ sites too, since I found some new cool ones.

Because I tended to love fictional species from video games as a child, and loved to make them my own (re: Maskbunnies, BirdWorms, Igplas, Emmunes), I’m going to add a new lore category for explaining how I envisioned these species!
Of course, you don’t have to follow the lore if you don’t want, but I imagine some of you would like to see my thought process behind these breedz and what they do!

One of my favourite pastimes in Petz was always training my petz to catch the mice. It was always integral to the Maskbunniez – I had a whole culture envisioned for them – but I still do it with other petz.
Included here are a version with the white mouse, a version with the grey mouse, and a version with the “mouse” symbol in Petz 4!
Head to my Cliques page to get them for yourself!

I’ve been thinking of making a new Breed Update for the BirdWorm again, this time to add the stubby little wings the TK has.
The BirdWorm is absolutely perfect as is – I love the way they look like my pompom TKs – but I might add a possible body variation that has wings? Just because I do like the fetus-like shape the actual TK has.
As always, I’ll update if I do end up doing this variation, or if I just abandon it.

I’m adding a Crew page to my site soon! This way you can see all my strange creatures. I might divide it into pages for catz and dogz, and maybe for common breedz I like too.

My cheese-hating roommate and I have come up with the “cheese cult”, which is basically any pet that eats cheese regardless of favourite flavour. This is… a large number.
If you, too, want to have Petz join the cheese cult, you can get this clique from my Cliques page!

As a proud member of the queer community, I decided to make a bunch of these pride cliques! All of these are based on quirks of Petz coding I’ve encountered:

I have made 14 different cliques for your favourite range of “natural” Petz eye colour! Go grab the ones you want from my Cliques page!

I’ve made a page to put cliques I’ve joined and my own cliques I’ve made! Go check it out!

As I’ve just joined the Whiskerwick forums (and the RKC forums as well – I’m @/ivymercury on both!), I’ve decided to engage in a Petz community tradition as old as… well, not time itself, but 2016 – making Petz stamps!
There will be a new “Stamps” page under construction to reflect this!

I guess technically it's a kennel and a cattery, but eh.
I chose the name Hydrargyry, from hydrargyrum, Latin for "mercury" (that's why its atomic symbol is Hg!). My Tumblr username is "owlkhemy", like "alchemy", so I thought it was a good fit, even though it's not really reflected anywhere here on WP. That's also why the icon for my site has a mercury symbol (☿) in it!

I've just started a site here! Not that my Tumblr wasn't good, but it's nice to have something more official. Now I really feel like a proper member of the Petz community, lol.
Anyway, I'm Ivy! I've been playing the Petz series since I was a child. I've only ever played Petz 5, but I have plans to try out Petz 4 at some point simply because most of the Petz community focuses on it. Most Petz fans don't like 5, but it was practically my childhood.
