Project Update: We did it!!! Next steps for the Cloud Chasers ☁️🐉
We just came back from AnthroCon (hence the radio silence, sorry!) and we're ready to work on the pledge manager to get those enamel pins flying out to you as soon as possible. Here's the rundown of what's coming:
1. We managed to fund all of the small enamel pins, but we didn't reach the pin banner nor the last Cloud Chaser pin. We might leave the mystery dragon for future projects, but we'll definitely add the pin banner as a stretch goal on the pledge manager! More info on that soon~
2. Unfortunately, we just learned today that USPS will be jacking up prices on packages shipped to and from Puerto Rico, so the actual shipping cost will be higher than the estimates on the project. We're not sure exactly what the actual costs will be but once the change comes to effect, we'll update you all.
3. We have a winner for the Keychain design: the Sinuous Sablescale won by a landslide! We'll send you pictures once we have the keychain done, thanks for participating!
4. For those who couldn't pledge during the project window, we'll be opening pre-orders soon!
5. We're launching a new project soon! Dragon Coop's Summer Loot is a ready-to-ship project featuring awesome bundles of our merch launching in 6 days! Go give it a follow here:

Project Update: Final Stretch! Only a couple of hours left!
For those who haven’t pledged yet, this is the last chance to pledge and apply for any project freebies like the PinQuest enamel pin and the returning backer keychain! Pledge now and join us among the clouds!
In terms of stretch goals, we’re super close to unlocking the Awakened Axocoatl enamel pin and the Sinuous Sablescale enamel pin. If a friend would like the goodies in this project, please share it with them, let’s keep the research going!
We’re currently in an airplane on our way to Pittsburgh (we’ll be vending at Anthrocon this weekend!), but we’ll keep you updated on any goals we reach today.
Talk soon!

Project Update: Less than 48 Hours Left! + Creature Feature #4 & #5: The Awakened Axocoatl and the Sinuous Sablescale
We're pretty close to unlocking all of the small enamel pins. The next two stretch goals are the topic of today's Creature Features: the Awakened Axocoatl and the Sinuous Sablescale.
The Awakened Axocoatl
Awakened Axocoatls start out their lives as tiny tadpoles living in estuaries. They mature into Axolotl-like creatures, hunting snails and using their shells as temporary homes. It is only through very harsh circumstances that Inlet Axolotls fully mature into Awakened Axocoalts. Whenever very strong storms hit their habitats, the stressful conditions cause them to metamorphose into these graceful dragons. As such, they have been synonymous with storms, and many cultures deem them as a bad omen.
One of the most dangerous Hidden Critters we've ever encountered, Sinuous Sablescales are cunning and intelligent creatures. Their obsidian scales are perfectly adapted to withstand incredibly high temperatures which allow them to seamlessly swim through lava. They gulp down molten rock and hold it in an internal sac in their chest cavity. They then spit it back out at incredible speeds at their prey, incapacitating it at a distance. Their aim is absolute.

Project Update: Frillback Enamel Pin Unlocked! + Creature Feature #3: Prismatic Frillback ☁️🐋
Anyway, here's the third Creature Feature, conveniently about the Prismatic Frillback!
Being one of the biggest Hidden Critters ever recorded, it comes as a big surprise to note how far off into our excursions we managed to discover this behemoth. The Prismatic Frillback can be best described as a flying whale of titanic proportions. True to their namesake, the frills on their backs look like feathers, and they allow these large creatures change colors and camouflage themselves high up in the skies. These frills also contain symbiotic photosynthesizing bacteria that give them sustenance.
They live their entire lives lazily drifting among slow moving clouds. These highly intelligent critters form deep relationships with each other, and they’ve developed a complex language composed of deep guttural growls that can be easily confused with distant thunder.
Frillbacks are inquisitive creatures who can form bonds with other species. They’ve been recorded playing with Lofty Cloudweavers; the smaller dragons weave their wool around the Frillbacks and decorate them while the Frillbacks roll in midair. While they usually sleep while floating, Frillbacks sometimes land on sky islands to rest from long journeys.
Hope you're liking these critter segments! We love to come up with how these Critters exist in their world, and writing these segments have been super fun 🌟

Project Update: Creature Feature #2: the Lofty Cloudweaver
The Lofty Cloudweaver’s grace is hard to ignore. With its bright yellow scales, soft and fluffy wool and bright blue wings, these dragons elegantly adorn the skies they roam. They have a long and slender body with an equally long and tufted tail, and a pair of powerful brown horns. Their wings have a shimmering effect to them, like a butterfly’s wings, refracting light and displaying beautiful hues of blue. These patterns are caused by the wing’s scale formation, and as such, every Cloudweaver wing pattern is different.
Cloudweavers’ name is not figurative: these Critters’ shed wool turns into physical clouds you can actually stand on. Their maneuvers can weave clouds into specific shapes, and large congregations of Cloudweavers have actually created vast sky islands. We’ve even been able to discover rare creatures endemic to these sky islands, like the Solar Jellybloom!
Cloudweavers spend most of their lives between the clouds, high up in the sky. They usually make their dens in caves atop tall mountaintops or on sky islands of their own creation, and they use the harsh winds of their habitats to easily lift off and expertly maneuver in the sky. They are so attuned to the clouds, some have even learned how to conjure lightning by harnessing the friction from their wool!
