MYO Items

To use an MYO item:

1. Go to your Inventory
2. Select your MYO Item
3. Select "Use Slot"

You can now view your MYO slot in "MYO Slots" in your user bar.
Go to your MYO Slot and select "Submit MYO design" and enter all traits and information needed!

Based on traits you want on your design, you will also have to add those items as add-ons to your submission.
A mod will look over your submission and either approve it and update your design or decline it.

Please note, that all MYO Designs are categorized as Artificial!

MYO Categories and hosts

Host-Species groups that JellHeads and Minis are categorised in.
Anthro versions of those species are also included and allowed!

Due to the Lab being unable to reproduce every trait, some traits can also not be reproduced on your MYO!
This includes color changing, biolumnicent skin, any kind of magical traits and some more.

Normal
Host-Species based on IRL animals that are not extinct.
This includes humans, as they are animals aswell!

Hybrid
Host-Species is a hybrid of 2 IRL animals that are not extinct.
The first species is the main species and the main body, the second species the secondary.
Traits and features of the secondary can replace parts or be placed freely.

Note: The amount of limbs/features the JellHead ends up with, should not be more than the amount of both species combined.

Extinct
Host-Species is based on extinct Animals.
Example: Dinosaurs, Mamooth, Megalodon

Mythical
Host-Species is based on mythical creatures.
Example: Dragons, Hydra, Fairy

Undead mythical creatures are not possible as well as some other creatures.
Example: Ghosts, Zombies, Skeletons, Aliens

Note:
Original Species like other CS or other OS are currently not supported, but a future goal to collab with some.
Fictional Species like from games are not allowed, as they are copyrighted concepts.


 

MYO Creation

JellHead MYO Creation


The main focus of the group.
JellHeads are headless creatures made of Jell.

Here is a checklist of things you have to pay attention to:

A Host species based on their MYO
Hostdesign
Jelldesign
Your JellHeads JellBean!
Submit a JellBean Item along side your submission!
(Just upload your JellBean on Stash, TH or Discord and copy the link into the comment section)

JellHeads


Body Regions and JellPlacements



1-[Head / Jell]
The whole Head is always replaced by Jell!
This also includes anything on the head, like ears, horns etc.
Exception for creatures with little to no neck, and only smaller features like antennea or whiskers, like seaslugs and catfish.
Those features can be moved/attached slightly back from where they originally would be.
If you are unsure, please ask beforehand!

2-[Neck]
Most likely to be replaced by Jell

3/4- [Breast/Body]
Areas can leak Jell, but still needs to hold a basic form

5- [Tail]
Most likely to be replaced by Jell.
Can either leak Jell or not leak anything

6-[Limbs]
Rarely replaced by Jell, but can be missing, either leaking Jell or not leak anything.


Jell and Colors

The Jell is the most important part of the JellHead and made out of two parts!
Inner Jell and Outer Jell, with each having their own little rules!

Outer Jell

- Max 3 Colors
-opacity can range from 20% to 80%

Inner Jell

- Max 2 Colors
-mostly non transparent, but can go to minimum of 80% opacity.

These Jell can only come in either a gradient of colors, or a liquid marble like pattern!

JellBean Base



 When submitting your JellHead or changing the JellHeads Jell, you will need to upload the related Jellbean aswell!
Fill out the JellBean Base below and submit a transparent PNG of your Bean!
Add them using a link to your bean in the comment section of the Design Submission.
 If for some reason you can't fill it out, ask someone to help you!
 If your JellHeads Jell changes color, submit multiple PNGs.

JellBean Base PSD File

Note: The JellBean should only represent the JellHeads Jell, and should not come with other add-ons/markings.
Do not edit the Lineart!

Free uncategorized Traits
These are traits that you have full freedom on, no matter what JellHead MYO you have

Mutation Guide

When applying mutations to your JellHead, please read their description carefully!
Some mutations can only be used a limited amount or only on specific parts of the JellHead.
Some mutations can even be stacked or used for combinations instead to create new interesting outcomes.

Since some Mutations are area based, these are the areas the JellHead usually is split in.



1-[Jell | Inner/Outer Jell]
2-[Neck]
3-[Breast]
4- [Body]
5- [Tail]
6-[Limbs]

When applying Mutations to 6-[Limbs], it can always be applied in pairs of two 6-[Limbs].
For example, you can apply JellSkin on both front legs with only one mutation instead of having to use two mutations!

Make sure to check the mutation before using!

List of Mutation Combinations

Note: Some Mutations may use different Items! Especially Event Mutations.
Perks/Natural Mutations are currently not obtainable

 

Mini JellHead

Mini-JellHeads are the small undeveloped version of JellHeads.

Because of them still developing and growing up, they have more restrictions than grown JellHeads.
But once they grow up into a JellHead, they will have less restricions and more freedom on design again!

If you plan on having your Mini grow up to an anthro, you can make it either anthro or "feral" at the start, until it grows and learns to walk on two!

Mini-JellHeads

Here is a checklist of things you have to pay attention to:

A Host species based on their MYO
Host max 3 Colors
Jell max 2 Colors
Small/Short Anatomy


Mini JellHead Anatomy

Max 2 Colors | No Transparency
Singluar Head Jell, no splitting Jell
The whole Head is always replaced by Jell!

This also includes anything on the head, like ears, horns etc.
Exception for creatures with little to no neck, and only smaller features like antennea or whiskers, like seaslugs and catfish.
Those features can be moved/attached slightly back from where they originally would be.
If you are unsure, please ask beforehand!
The HeadJell can only come in either a gradient of colors, or a liquid marble like pattern!

Growing Mini-JellHead to JellHead

49-Right.png

When growing your Mini-JellHead to a JellHead, it will have to follow all rules above!

Updating the design:

-Keep atleast 2 of the original colors on the Host and 1 on the Jell.
->These colors can be slightly altered. Additional colors can be added!
-Markings can be altered/added, but still have to somehow resemble the Mini-JellHead design.
-Jell transparency and Inner / OuterJell both have to be defined!
-JellHead has to grow to the wanted Hosts size !
-Mutations can now be added!
-JellBean has to be submitted aswell! More info in JellHead section above^

Note: when growing up your Mini to a JellHead, you are still free to draw the Mini-Form!
You will also need to attach a Growth Snack to grow your Mini-JellHead, when updating your Design
