Customizing your creature
TipsCustomization goes well beyond a basic color picker. Eye shape and color are their own separate option. Wearable accessories like hats and decorations layer on top of that. Size is also adjustable. Smaller creatures can be picked up.
- Change the eye design — unique designs and color combinations are available.
- Equip wearable accessories to add personality on top of the base look.
- Adjust size to change the overall feel of the creature without switching species.
- Pick up smaller creatures — this works within the game.
Roleplaying and exploring with friends
CheckThe island is open to fly around at will, which makes it a natural space for meeting up and running collaborative stories. Having your name, bio, and creature look sorted before you meet friends means you spend less time in menus and more time actually playing together.
- Write your bio before meeting friends so your character feels ready for roleplay from the start.
- Collect multiple creatures over time to vary what you bring to different roleplay sessions.
