I'd probably have a Guardian-Snuggler, that crossbreed would probably be good for an emotional support animal of the species probably

[@callimara]

Agreed!

[@dunkey759]

omg gentle giant

[@kellabdjfoo]

cute

[@corryadderley6803]

Same

[@actias2632]

same. Also I feel like a cross breed of those two could work as service animals which I would def need 😅

[@Eldr1tchGl1tch]

Honestly, I would feel honored to have the same name as the pettable mascots.

[@callimara]

Fair enough 😂

[@Annikalovetokeepmesafe]

Like saaammmeee

[@dainty_axolotl4934]

They are cute ☺️

[@AzariahMarinaStarcaster]

I know these babies primarily exist to be your channel mascots, but my writer brain is in world building mode trying to figure out what a world with them in it would look like. >w

[@callimara]

Omg do iiiiiit!

[@AzariahMarinaStarcaster]

@@callimara I'll certainly try! I am primarily thinking from a fantasy perspective atm, so I think that, even though they're just as likely to end up living with landlocked species like humans, their first and still most frequent sapient companions would be other (semi) aquatic species like mermaids.

[@namelessss2.h080]

I immediately started drawing an idea for a young girl living with her parent and a Guardian and Snuggler. Then I realised how absolutely awful I laid out the animals because the fins overlapped in the drawing and I'd already started the lineart so I left it. (The girl ends up being an amazing swimmer from playing in the nearby river with the animals and the Guardian is extra protective of her since he was there since she was a baby)

[@darkythedarkone]

Okay, now I’m torn. On one hand, the Guardians are the perfect guard dogs and I wouldn't be afraid of living alone. Nor will I ever fear the ocean again if I were to travel through it. Not to mention I bet they would be awesome to hug. But on the other hand, the Snugglers are travel size and I don’t have to worry about them snapping at people. Callimara, how dare you create such a beautiful species?! 😆

[@callimara]

You can have both 😏

[@Mellowclouds420]

Bro make both an make them Friends 😭

[@anderkid1090]

I think the name False Axolotls or Pseudolotls would fit the species well!

[@charadreemur8884]

Fauxolotls maybe?

[@callimara]

Omg those are so creative 😳

[@callimara]

YOOO, CLEVER WORD PLAY

[@FiveEyedRaven]

I really like false axolotls :D

[@naraku971]

False Axolotls sounds like something used in the reptile trade, like False Chameleons which aren't actually a species of Chameleon, but an Anole, and are actually closely related to Iguanas. :)

[@lymeskyze4482]

Hey this isn't super important but I though I'd mention that I think what you made is what people typically call a open species! Closed more so implies it is closed to the public, and that you can only get one from purchasing it from the species' creator(s). Open means its open for anyone to use it ((Also unrelated but I thought I'd just add that there is also semi-open, where people can make something from the species but more rare traits are locked off or extra regulations are placed))

[@phirerising]

The excitement at "Like a platypus!" I love it 😂 I'm not full way through but like, that made me smile OMG YOU COULD RIDE A GUARDIAN

[@goofusdestroyerofworlds9504]

I feel like there would always unfortunately be some nobles who were abused in show business. I would probably rescue an abused or older noble. But if I couldn't, I would try to go for a Guardian-Snuggler.

[@wowitsnephreal]

I love them, and ofc would want a lil bean except for the fact that I cannot draw.. I love the snugglers and would love a noble snuggler

[@nairobicataluna]

I love making up names for characters so I hope you like the names I took inspiration from the "Water babies" that you said in the end of the video "Aquatic Cherubs" Aquatic cause water, and Cherubs cause apparently some people call babies like that? Also, cause Cherubs themselves are like baby angels, also picked the name cause the designs visually reminded me of "The Cherubs" from Helluva boss If the Cherubs part sounds kinda weird than no worries! Cause apparently theirs another way people call Cherubs which is "Amorini" So they could also be called "Aquatic Armorinis" (I like to imagine that their Scientific name name is "Aquatic Armorinis" but people just call them "Aquatic Cherubs" or "Aquatic babies" cause its eaiser to say) The word Armorini for some reason reminded me of the word "Armonia," its a spanish word that means "Harmony"

[@callimara]

Gosh, those are amazing!

[@8unnylover]

Just a heads up, while most ppl think cherubs are those winged babies (like cupid), those are actually puttos. Cherubs look more like the classic biblical angels, with four faces and four wings. But honestly that might be more accurate, as these guys can both be small and cute or big defenders. So Cherubs still work I think lol

[@pyrokas]

The Snugglers are definitely my favorite. I’m a sucker for cute faces and small things I can snuggle.

[@lainybug0504]

Wow, there's something about all four breeds that I love and I don't know which one I would want. The Nobles and Striders are very pretty and eye-catching; I love ethereal and celestial aesthetics, but they wouldn't be easy to take care of. Although a Strider would be a great excuse to get me to walk around the nearby park. Guardians are a cross between a workhorse and a guard dog, which would be awesome, especially since we need the extra help in the back yard. Also the perfect companion for going to the beach, because I am terrified of the ocean, so having one with me would make me feel at ease. Snugglers are just our cats, because they won't leave me alone when I'm trying to do something, but I still love them.

[@ok.mr.buttons6912]

Ahhh!! So cute!! I wanna draw either a snuggler or a cross-breed one! Love the designs♡♡♡♡

[@callimara]

Please do!

[@SADshrimpforever]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww they're all soooo cute and pretty! When seeing the main one you made for the channel (when you first posted about it) the color just made me think of a peach.... forever more I shall call them Peachy! Short for Peachy Keen, cuz she just looks peachy keen all the time😋 Great work! Your art is wonderful!

[@callimara]

Awwww that shall be her name indeed!

[@_DoodleWithRhyn_]

I would probably have a snuggler or the crossbreed Guardian-Snuggler. I hope I can draw one soon playing with my species, which are also axolotl based🥰

[@essixthefalcon8657]

Me: *Looking at my blind circus performer that originally had an axolotl as a service pet* "Hmmm, perhaps I can spice it up now-"

[@StrawberryKiss3s]

A mix breed of a show/snuggler would probably be the death of anyone looking at them..... And it gives me so much ideas

[@snowzing133]

I find this kinda funny because these creatures remind me of my own type of animal I made in health class after seeing a growing embryo (I cannot remember what animal the embryo belonged to), as we were talking about the reproductive system. My creature, (I call it an Aury after my friend miss spelled my name miserably), of course, has many differences, such as laying eggs in the water. Though they both can live in water and on land, although preferring water. But, yeah, this reminds me of my own. So, yeah. Cool. I like your art!

[@boomfanfic-a-latta8996]

My name idea is Aquanipes! From the Latin words “Aqua” (water) and “Sonipes” (steed) I like naming things :D

[@RainbowWreck]

THE VIDEO IS HEREEEE from discord here!! Making silly/half-serious lore of the species with the mods and others was fun!

[@callimara]

That was the BEST

[@HauntingMarikh]

Oh I remember in middle school I was OBSESSED with closed species

[@anony_apis]

100% gonna draw one of these! Maybe you could name them hydrakes i dunno just think that sounds cool (btw thats a mix of hydro and drake)

[@callimara]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE!

[@anony_apis]

awww thanks so so much!

[@weirdducky3658]

Yeesssss!! I was so excited to see this pop up in my notifications cause I was so excited to see how the breeds will work and all the designs look adorable!! I couldn't exactly pick which one is my favorite cause all of them are so gorgeous but I'm leaning towards either the Guardians or Snugglers cause they have a lot of potential for very creative designs!! Already gonna work on my own very soon :D

[@callimara]

I'm so glad!

[@iratami]

Having breed categories like dogs just makes me want to conceptualize more variants. You have guard, show, sport, and toy breeds basically. So I may take a moment or two figuring out what can be done to make like herding breeds "similar probably to your guardians, but less territorial and more high strung like collies and sheep dogs", small/medium/big game hunting breeds "small game/vermin/pest hunting like beagles/ terriers or shiba, medium game like wolfhounds/ bluetick coonhound and pointers, and big game like Karelian Bear Dog/ Dogo Argentino" Maybe make a semi wild breed like what has become somewhat popular with wolfdogs and wild cat hybrids, in an attempt to get a pet that looks wild but behaves more like a domestic breed. "in general these wild hybrids are a bad choice for most owners as they do tend to be highly independent, strong willed, require lots of exercise, tend to be very large, and have much stronger predatory instincts than domestic counterparts, making them a biting hazard/ territorial/ and prone to testing boundaries. and their diets can be quite different from their domestic counterparts. most wolf dogs have a hard time digesting grains that domestic breeds have gotten used to after millenniums of breeding, so bag dog food will usually make them ill as it contains a lot of wheat and corn. So, as pretty as they are, you would have to be highly experienced and very patient to properly raise one" Could also just run off of the AKC's "American Kennel Club" breed categories of herding, hounds, sporting, spotters, non spotting, terrier, toy, working, and miscellaneous.

[@LexyToga]

Those are so cute! I would draw one 💕

[@callimara]

Draw one!

[@LexyToga]

@@callimara :D love your videos btw!

[@lindsayshanks7555]

Just watching this video has made me want to draw animals all over again I imagine a Snuggler-Noble would be really fun, because they'd be small, cuddly, and not quite as intricate and difficult to groom - sort of like a Sheltie, compared to a Lassie If I do find the time to create a water baby, I'm absolutely making a Twitter, just to send it your way, Calli! 💕

[@laukir]

so, a free closed species? yet you also say the price is subscribing to you? well good thing i already paid the price! your content is pretty cool, and your art is gorgeous. i'll be here to see where it goes. i'd probably get a noble-snuggler crossbreed, mostly because nobles are calm and snugglers are small. i also have some questions, if you don't mind. how would they do in hot/cold climates? would they adapt naturally? what happens if they are injured? will they regenerate the wound like axolotls? i'll ask more questions if i think of any.

[@callimara]

They tend to prefer warmer temperatures, but they adapt pretty quickly to colder climates too. The most important thing is that they have access to water so they don't get dehydrated! I don't think they can regenerate like axolotls though.

[@DisqueArgente]

They make me think of a fusion between an axolotl, a My Little Poney character and a Mizutsune from Monster Hunter and I LOVE IT

[@eldritchmistake518]

i’d probably call them something along the lines of Dracolotle cuz they kind of remind me of cute water dragons! another cute name could be Callisaurs like callimara dinosaur these also both sound like pokemon names-

[@vilee600]

Omg I love it so much!! If you made plushies that would be awsome too! Snugglers would be more squeezable and Gardians would be more stiff. Nobels and Striders im not quite sure. On a side note, I feel Striders would be prone to people trying to put them in a circus. Thats a scary thought but thats where my mind went to...ouch.

[@AzariahMarinaStarcaster]

I AM SPEED Edit: I probably vibe most with the Snugglers, but the Nobles are undeniably stunning. I have to wonder what a Snuggler Noble would be like. o.o

Just me who got the idea of a story where a nobler female is attempted to be bred with a snuggler boi and the story is filled with how they try to work it out as they know they're kinda forced to breed. Also, I imagine in the end it finally works out and they end up with three pups, chaos

[@smallkoifish4370]

id go for a noble snuggler, an accidental breed that was a result of a noble getting cross breed with a snuggler because a newbie didnt know how to tell nobles and snugglers apart, the result is a long fin but cute little guy that has the best qualitys if not a bit expensive to take care of!

[@damn9868]

I wonder if its possible that there could be like these really mixed version of these water babies. Imagine asking a kid what kind of water baby that they have and they just say like, "Well its a qaurter noble, a fifth snuggler, a quarter strider, and four-fifths Gaurdians and that they found it in the street."Like that would be hilarious.

[@SugaryDoodles]

Omg they are so cute I can just picture it now my witch oc having one ☺️

[@Mayt5987]

I feel like I would probably have/ breed a guardian-snuggler. I’m a very paranoid person so having a horse-dog-whatever they are, would be very helpful. But I don’t need them for labor or anything so snuggler works. Also, I do swimming, so having an aqua complain would be cool.

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

Since they seem to be the main pet species of the world they come from it would make sense for them to have a one syllable name like dog, cat, bird, or horse. So, we could easily take part of your name to do that and I think Mar would work perfectly because it is also the word for sea in Spanish (and probably other romantic languages) which is really fitting. Also, I guess that would make the plural Mars which is kinda cool because that was a Roman god and the 2nd closest planet to Earth. (I thought Mars was the closest because that's where all astronauts want to go which would be really fitting for man's best friend, but apparently Venus is closer).

[@NVMcK]

Imagine a noble snuggler, pretty but also family friendly. I imagine they would be less flashy, as in less gills so they're not just for rich or devoted people, but they're still pretty and very friendly. Still snarky, though. "So you.. eat this, human?" I'd probably have a snuggler or guardian snuggler and call it Dousanj though (Dous is sweet and anj is angel, both in Kreyol)
