On 2/17/2018 at 9:32 AM Sylestia exploded when Krin gave us a sneak peak of the newest species in Sylestia, the Ferrikki.

This thread is talk all things Ferrikki! From nicknames to designs, from lore to pronunciation, feel free to talk anything Ferrikki!




The next 2 posts are divided into Name and Appearance.

Discussion starters

~ How is the name Ferrikki pronounced?
(Is it pronounced Fur-REE-kee, Fur-EE-kee, Fair-ee-KEE
, Fer-RIK-ee, etc.?)


~ What nickname should be used for the Ferrikki?
(Ferr, Ikki, Rikki, Ferri, etc.? Rikki currently seems most common)


~ What real life animals does the Ferrikki remind you of?
(What does it remind you of? Otters? Squirrels? Ferrets?)


~ Why do the Ferrikki have orbs and feathers? Do the tassels on the female work like the tassels on the Puffadore?
(Feathers to attract mate? But females also have feathers. Do they like to pick up pretty feathers and weave them into their fur?)


~ More coming soon! Feel free to suggest more discussion starters!





Design gallery! Make sure to check with design owner before using the design or palette! (Images are clickable to find designer)

Hi Lavender! I love 'rikki! And here are a couple pets I would love to be 'rikki'ed!


My first 6vis project.... this might be hard!


My first designed project!

Oops forgot to ping!

So adding a couple more:

Storm Rider Qitari


And Charming Chocolate Griffi!

The more I look at them the more they look like squirrels.

I think I'd pronounce the name "fer RIK ee."

The feathers might not grow on the Ferrikki at all. Perhaps adult Ferrikkies like to pick up pretty feathers and weave them into their fur.

The female Ferrikki's tassels or tendrils probably do work the way Puffadore tendrils do. The males have antlers instead, leading me to think that Ferrikkies must live in pairs or in groups. The males would rely upon the females to detect approaching danger.
