Update: I've been getting an influx of people warning me about off-brand fumi adopts recently, and thought I would update this again as a reminder! I choose not to engage with people who make off-brand fumi designs, because there is often no way to do so without it turning into drama/making things worse. Although I appreciate how you guys have been concerned for me when you see this happening, I ask that you don't engage with them either. However, feebz here were partially created as an optional outlet for people to obtain fumi-like designs for free without needing to resort to off-brands. The spirit of feebz is positivity and silliness in the face of an unsolvable problem! So if you want to help but are not satisfied with doing nothing at all (which is what I've been asking), then I offer the option of creating your own feebz design to help spread awareness of their existence and positivity. Regardless of what yall end up doing, thank you so much for caring about me, wanting to help, and respecting my wishes to not confront the individuals who are distributing off-brand fumi designs, it means a lot to me! 

Additionally, I've increased the free feebz slots from 3 per person, to 10 per person. This means anyone can create up to 10 free feebz for themselves, in addition to being able to create feebz forms of their fumis!

Coughs so... say hello to the feebz species! I took a small break from commissions to work on these today.
The example shown is the feebz form of my fumi, Cake (the fumi mascot)! They are semi-open (you can read more about that below), I might make some free adopts of them sometime in the future >:3c 
Just to be clear, I'm not ever going to make for-profit adopts or sell MYO slots of feebz, they are strictly non-profit. 

Where the name comes from: I wanted something similar to fumi, but different enough that it isn't easily confused. Some fumi community members nickname fumis as foobs, which I changed to feebs. The Z at the end is a reference to the petz games, since the big, heavy lidded eyes and the squishy paws reminded me of the the petz art style! 

Please do show off your feebz designs and artwork on the Fumi-Fog group, I've made a folder just for feebz!

Comparison between a feebz and fumi (size comparison, anatomy, ect)

What are these?

The feebz species are a lighthearted parody of my own species, fumis, as well as intentional off-brand/rip-off adopts made to mimic fumis. I've created them to cope in a positive way, against an unsolvable situation that has been frustrating me. So that being said, please keep in mind that feebz are NOT making fun of any individual, NOR am I trying to make a statement about species or off-brand/rip-off designs of species with feebz. Feebz are simply a goofy parody for myself and others to enjoy, please don't take them too seriously or personally! 

Rulez

1.) Read all the rulez and factz before designing or obtaining a feebz, please!
2.) Anyone can create up to ten free feebz for themselves (as a MYO, make your own) for personal use AS LONG AS you're not on my Blacklist [LINK]. You don't need my approval for the design(s). 
3.) Fumi owners can make a feebz form of their fumi(s). Said feebz forms don't count against your 10 free feebz MYOs. They don't need to look exactly like your fumi, they can simply be based on them.
4.) When designing a feebz, you can base it off of a current design that you own AS LONG AS you count the feebz and other design as soul-bound, meaning if you trade/sell/gift that design, the feebz gets traded/sold/gifted to the new owner as well. If the design you're basing them on belongs to another original/closed/open ect. species, you must ask the species owner for permission to create the feebz form first. 
5.) Do not create feebz based on designs that you don't personally own. This includes copyrighted characters.
6.) Please do not make feebz adoptables, even if they are free. 
7.) You may trace the feebz image above if you need to, but do not trace other people's feebz artwork without their permission!
8.) Please do not trade, sell, or gift a feebz design away on it's own. However if the feebz design has a different species form, you may trade the form and the feebz along with it that way. 
9.) You can only upgrade a feebz into a fumi through the use of a fumi MYO slot. 
10.) There are no restrictions or guidelines to feebz redesigns, please redesign to your heart's content. Feebz forms of fumis should have some resemblance to the fumi that they're based on, however. 

Disclaimer: I will not keep track of feebz on my masterlist account, and I won't intervene on your behalf to resolve matters between you and other individuals (such as copied designs, traced artwork, ect). This would be all too much for me to manage on top of what I already manage with my other species. Some of these rules are thus based on an honor system, but I will blacklist individuals who are found to be breaking rules depending on the severity and frequency of their actions. 

You cannot use a feebz in place of a fumi in BioFUMES-ARPG, but you can draw the feebz in your fumi's scene to earn bonus points like any other character. 

Feebz Factz

- Feebz DO exist in the canon fumi universe. They were created by a rival genetic engineering company who had tried to cash in on the booming fumi market, but didn't have the research or funds to back them up properly. The company eventually had to abandon the project due to the lack of resources, but feebz are still bred in secret by private breeders. 
- Due to faulty engineering, feebz have generally poor health compared to fumis. Their life span averages to around 8-10 years and they may suffer from a variety of illnesses (however, this is optional for your own feebz)
- Feebz CAN'T produce vapor and don't have vapor sacks. Instead, they are obsessed with eating stinky things (socks, garbage, you name it), they are able to and will eat anything but prefer stinky things the most. Their breath is so noxious as a result that you can visibly see it; it can be any color. 
- Feebz can't communicate with fumis via vapor since they don't produce it, but they can communicate through body language. It should be noted that the average feebz intelligence is comparable to a dog's, while the average fumi intelligence is more comparable to a human's. Fumis generally don't mind feebz and vice versa, but it depends on the individual, some might even keep feebz as pets! 
- They are much more vocal than fumis are, they sound like squeaky toys! 
- Physical features:
    Size: Feebz are SMALL, about the same size as a dwarf fumi (see the dwarf in the size chart [LINK])
    Body Shape: Round fumi-like body. Smaller overall proportions, thin neck, and small pointy muzzles are the key differences in silhouette. 
    Eyes: Huge 'eyes emoji' eyes, which move suspiciously like googly eyes. They can come in any colors and the pupils/irises can come in any shapes.
    Ears: Ears are thin with bulbous tips, as shown in the picture. They are fat/squishy and may cover up the inner ear, like shown, or some inner ear can be peeking out. They can be shorter or longer than shown, and can be surgically altered to have a different shape (such as cropping) The ears can swivel in different positions like a dog or cat's, unlike a fumi's ears, which are stiff and immobile.
    'Horns': These are actually a second set of ears, they can be held together to resemble one horn or split apart to look like two, the feebz can do this change at will. They can be shorter or longer than shown (or may be missing entirely) but they always have a smooth surface and point back to the body, unless they were surgically modified (which is fine for your feebz designs)
    Tongue/Flesh: They are actually born with a single-tip tongue (like a human's), their tongue is usually cut to resemble a fumi's forked tongue. The tongue and inner flesh can be any color as can their blood.
    Teeth: They only ever have canines/eye teeth. They might have the top pair only, the bottom pair only, the top and bottom pair, or none at all. They can be any length/shape/color. 
    Paws/feet: The paws are wide and squishy. They can have 3-5 toes per foot including an optional thumb or dewclaw. They don't have pawpads or claws of any kind, but they can have markings that can mimic the look of pawpads and/or claws. They can also have faux claws surgically inserted for looks. 
    Tail: Fat gecko-like tails, almost fumi-like, but are ALWAYS kinked/crooked in some way. They can be shorter or longer than shown. They can be permanently amputated, since they don't regrow like a fumi's tail does.
    Skin/Markings: Feebz are completely hairless, and their skin is always natural colors (browns, grays, tans, peach, ect) with natural markings (splotches, spots, underbelly, ect) HOWEVER they can be painted or tattooed! Please feel free to make your feebz have any color and markings you want so long as you keep in mind that they are either painted or tattooed to look that way!

Here are more examples of feebz designs, and what a feebz based on a pre-existing fumi design could look like!

Art, species, and character/design belong to me. They are a semi-open species, read above in the Rulez section for more information if you haven't already.
