I think this dog is FleshCanvas's
This pup has lineart edits
50% likes daytime, 50% nighttime— this pup is decorated with both plants and stars
33.3% inspired by a certain animal— the striping on the tail makes me think of a red panda or ringtailed lemur, both of which are arboreal creatures (33.3% arboreal)
No props
Mostly carnivore— nothing overtly suggests that yet, but:
Loves berries— literally has berries on it
Decently colorful, though the green is pretty absent it's present in the CS tag, and this pup isn't fully grown yet
Nothing inherently magical, though the pattern does definitely remind me of typical "magic show"-esque patterns
The staff bio hints— It has plants on it (March 2022), it has stars (July 2022), the berries on it are golden (September 2022), and the eye is the closest to orange I could see in currently unclaimed pups (January 2022)
Toes are not currently green (whether that stays in the final stage is yet to be seen)
Might be wearing human clothes, depending on how you look at it— the chains could potentially be considered human clothes, though I could definitely see why the initial answer would've been no, because they're fairly small and not distinctly human
Lots of relation to water and nature— nothing here is overtly water-themed yet, but the plants could connect to nature
Now, you gave us a playlist in one of your previous answers, and said you'd made it for "Europa". I've not seen any confirmation that Europa is the name of your pup, but it seems likely based on that specific response.
Europa could be a reference to the moon of Jupiter, or to the figure in Greek mythology
The moon Europa is believed to have an icy crust surface and a massive saltwater ocean underneath. A very strong connection to water, indeed.
The Greek mythological figure Europa was a descendent of a water nymph. A constellation was, according to myth, created in her honor. She was queen of an island nation. That gives a connection to both water and to the star pattern on this pup.
Regarding similarities to other pets: since this is your first staff pup, there's not much reference for how heavily you might edit the lines on one, or how drastically different the design might be from adolescent to adult. Most of your previous designed pets don't have any drastic changes from the adolescent pattern to the adult one, but there's also plenty of room to experiment in a staff litter.
In the June litter of dogs you did, they all had a stubby tail and the back ear half-folded, which we see with this pup (though plenty of others have done that, and you've done dogs without that). There's also this adolescent stage from that litter:
The pattern here definitely feels reminiscent of the chains on this staff litter pup.
You do tend to vary between using the long CS tag and the shortened version, though most of your dog designs seem to use the shortened one. You've also had a lot of variety in color, but both the parrot litter in June of this year and the draft horse litter of May of this year had a horizontal gradient along the outline of the text, like the one seen on this pup.
There are definitely a lot of clues that don't exactly match up yet, but it's unlikely those will be figured out until your staff pup has grown to the final stage.
And, because I noticed it while prepping this whole post and have absolutely nothing else to back it up, this pup:
Has a pattern that reminds me of the striations on the surface of the moon Europa. There could be potential for a final stage that breaks through the icy surface and reveals a very changed design, where all the hints start to make sense. But at this time, there's not much else to connect this particular pup to your hints.
Well, that's my attempt! Props to the people who write up a bunch of these theory posts, this took way longer to type out than I expected it would!
I am here to confirm that I had previously edited a reply to say the pups name is Europa 😁
I also like where your thoughts are headed, but I am not confirming or denying any pups until mine is full grown also until I've revealed all my planned hints 😁
