F.A.Q.
Q: How do I get a Toskal? Are Toskals free to make?
A: No, Toskals are a closed species, meaning you must buy an adopt, order custom, or purchase a MYO slot to design one yourself. However, you may make one Grunt Toskal (lowest tier) free of charge!
Q: Am I restricted to a single Grunt Toskal?
A: No, you may create another Grunt for every two Toskals you own that are of Common rarity or higher.
Q: How much are MYO's? When can I buy one?
A: MYO's for common and alpha Toskals are always open! Grunt- £6 Common- £16 Alpha- £26 -Common mute add-on +£5 -Uncommon mute add-on +£40 -Rare mute add-on +£80 ~ -Alpha horns £10 regardless of gender'
Q: When are Customs open?
A: There's no set time for Customs slots to be purchased. When the current list is completed, Customs are then re-opened.
Q: Do Toskals have any restrictions?
A: Yes, Toskals have certain species restrictions. You can find out more from the refs section of the Toskals DA group, here: https://www.deviantart.com/toskals/gallery/63916959/References-and-Species-Info
Q: Can I create clothes or add body modifications to my Toskal?
A: Yes, as long as they are not extreme. To make ensure your idea for clothing/body modifications would be canon compliant, feel free to run them by myself or an admin/mod.
Q: Can I make my Toskal an Alpha?
A: Yes, you can use points to add horns to your chosen Tosk.
Q: Can I change the gender of my Toskal?
A: You can change your adopts gender as long as it's not from Alpha male to Alpha female. Gachas and bred pups can only change gender using points however.(edited)
Q: Can I add a mutation to my Toskal?
A: You can add a mutation to a MYO or Custom using points. Bred pups cannot be given mutations. (Custom pups can be given common mutations)
Q: What are these points you keep mentioning?
A: They're a 'currency' earned by using and developing your Toskals through art or literature; More info, as well as a link to the points store, can be found here: https://www.deviantart.com/cybersix-data7/journal/Toskal-Points-System-753220857
Q: Is there an official list for tracking points?
A: No, there is not an official list of earned points. You will be responsible for tracking points you've earned and spent on your own. Other members use DA journals, Google Docs, and Toyhouse profiles. Whatever works and can be used for proof is fine!
Q: A Toskal I purchased from another member came with art/literature; Do I get points from these?
A: No, you must assume that the points earned from a previous owner of a resold Toskal have been used, unless stated otherwise.
Q: Can I make my own Tribe?
A: Yes you can! If you're not sure your tribe idea works in the canon Tosk world, just run it by myself or an admin/mod.(edited)
Q: Can I make any species/ pet design official in the Toskal world?
A: No, the species needs to fit in well with the design of the world. If you have one you believe would work you can post in #suggestions and I will let you know if it would fit or not. (Those that are accepted rarely pass without a small adjustment though so I'd suggest not being too attached to everything in the initial design)
Q: If approved do I have to share my species design with people?
A: You don't have to, but it'd be nice to let others have a chance to own one even if it's limited in map area or via adopts designs.(edited)
Q: Can I cannonly kill my Toskal? What does that mean?
A: Yes you can kill off a Toskal and request their masterlist info to include 'deceased', This means you can't breed them anymore but you can still claim points for art e.t.c. (please note if you trade or sell the Toskal to another person they're under no obligation to keep the canon death)
Q: Can you redesign Horns?
Adopts, MYOs, and Gachas that came with horns - No, those horns cannot be redesigned and you get what they have.
Pups, gachas, and adopts that were given horns as an UPGRADE/ADD-ON can be edited. Regardless Horn re-do's have to be placed through edit approval once more.
Q: Can you change mutations? You can remove a mutation to add a different one but you can't straight up swap them out, (if you remove a mutation for a double mute Toskal then you can't add another mute in it's place though)
Q: Can I design my pup different to their twin or do I have to copy what other user has made?
Age ups for twins/ triplets- NONCANNON identical twins can look different on age ups where markings and things AREN'T visible on the original pup to change it up a little. Cannon pups however must still be fully identical.
Q: Can I Redesign a MYO?
Yes only if you designed the MYO and it hasn't been bred -you also need to put the masterlist number of the old design when posting in approvals
