So throughout Gaia, there've been many different types of pets. But have you ever seen THESE?!

Welcome to Eidechse! Enjoy your stay here. Try not to provoke any of the lizards, though; they bite.

Since ancient times, many creatures have roamed these lands. Over the course of millions of years, different kinds of creatures reigned supreme. As time went on, one particular species of lizards started their golden era. Their size alone scared off most potential competitors. If their size alone wasn’t enough, their super strength certainly would.

As the years went on, two-legged creatures came upon the shores of this land in their wooden ships. In order to sustain their needs of food and entertainment, many animals were hunted to extinction; either that or they slowly died out due to loss of habitat. Still, many of these giant lizards tried their best to persevere. Unfortunately, many did not make the evolutionary cut.

Only one main species remains to this day. They live along side their slightly different brethren in peace. Every once in a while the two-legged men would wander into their territory, though only if necessary or to bring offerings of peace.

1/02/11 - Happy New Year, everyone! Our Holiday event is over, and what a fun time we had! Some changes have been implemented with the new year: specifically the layout of the front page, the introduction of subspecies, a new story and some other minor things. Look forward to another event coming soon!

11/24/10 - Flaffle announced with new staff members. See below for more details!

11/14/10 - Lots of things have happened since the last update. We have new staff now, and pending new templates! Be on the lookout for events soon!

3/11/09 - This hasn't been updated in SO long. Please welcome Zactura as our new shop manager and one of the new colorists! Also reamwolf as a full-time colorist as well. Due to new staff old Eides in need of growings are in the process of being done. Check the owner's list to see if your Eide(s) has/have grown. Zakkie also started a V-day event, link on the front page. Though currently it's on hold.

9/29/07- Matt the original lineartist has shown interest in making us templates. So for now colorist search is on a temporary pause. In any case, due to Matt's generosity we'll be introducing the Eidechse familiar lineart. Check pg 1111 for more details on how to obtain a few Halloween-themed ones. ;3 Happy Halloween~

9/16/2007- Okami/Zelda event over. Congrats to the winners. We're also searching for a full time colorist. Check out the guild if you're interested. Some long overdue growths will occur soon.

5/22/07- 'EY GUYZ. SUP?! As some of you may well know, we're planning and will advance through with an Okami/Legend of Zelda inspired cosplay event. After further consideration, this will not be a shop-only event anymore, but this event will be "moved" to a collab event called Dragonfest. Same rules as always, only there'll be more than just our shop's stuff up for grabs. Along with the Okami/Zelda Eides, a couple other guest colored Eides will be raffled off.

Check out Dragonfest and stay tuned for the Okami/Zelda event!:

3/22/07- 1000 pages have been reached! Another milestone for this shop. ;^; Thanks to everyone who contributed, and here's to another milestone! Congrats to Acin who won the free custom and Koko for a free semi-custom in the spirit of giving. The Okami/Zelda event will be coming sometime next month, along with a mini-Easter event. Happy pg 1000 and Happy Spring everyone!

2/10/06- A few scattered growings here and there. Winners for the rehoming event announced on pg 906. Winners MUST post names within a week and a half. By the 21st of this month, or else whoever is left over will be rehomed personally by me to someone I deem worthy.

12/05/07- See pg 820 for a big announcement.

11/12/06- After such a long period of inactivity, we have hired two new colorists. Please welcome Twiddle and Katherine of Dreamland to the staff! Secondly, in celebration of a be-lated Halloween/pg 666 thing, we have an auction for the first Demonic stage only male. Auction ends on the 25th~ Also, customs info have been set up, refer to post 11 for more info. Breedings have changed a little bit, but hopefully everyone can adjust to this change through a relatively smooth transection. Though I doubt it'd be a huge problem, since we've only had one breeding so far. For X-mas, there will be more giveaways, events and even Secret Santa, more info coming teh soon~

10/04/06-The ice elemental auction is over. Congrats to Moochi for winning him! A contest for the first to reach page 1000 has been established and is currently running, for more details refer to the first post.
Important notice: To all those who we owe prizes to, I apologize sincerely on behalf of my entire staff for not getting them out to you as fast as you'd hope. They will come to you eventually, I just don't know when yet. School is sucking up most of the time from what I know, so please be patient with us in the mean time. Don't hate my colorists or me, but if you must, blame school. Again, I apologize, but it's out of my hands.

8/31/06- The Eidechse shop first birfday bash is over, thank to you everyone who participated in this large event! The population of Eidechses has almost doubled, and with that a new slot for breedings has been set up. Customs will be discussed at a later date. Look forward to a guest coloring auction for an ice elem. soon. And please, everyone, give a big hand and warm welcome to Baneful for being part of our coloring staff! And a big congradulations to everyone who won something in this giant event, let's hope the next one is just as big, if not, bigger! ^^

8/01/06- The raffle has ended! Congrats to Rose and all other winners of the raffle. Thank you to all those who have participated, even if you didn't claim/buy tickets. A brief section has been added to the breeding info, along with a new slot. By the middle of this month, we hope to have the thread/shop's 1st birfday event, which will include many things and more oppertunities for all to get an Eidechse of their own. Some growings have occured. And more info about the growth trials will be coming soon!

7/4/06- Raffle has started! New rules have been added while some old ones were taken out. Oscar has arrived, Trent+Laeleth has grown.

The General Rules

1. Use your common sense. Follow all the general Gaia rules and general B/C rules and you'll be good.

2. Read the entire page, if you have any questions AFTER reading, you can ask. Othewise, don't bother.

3. Just because we might refuse a pet trade with you, don't take it the wrong way. It's not meant to offend you. It could just be that you caught one of us, or all at the wrong time. It could be because we're busy with school. So please, don't take it as an insult.

4. You cannot sell a pre-paid pet off for profit. If you don't want it anymore, we can work something out.

RP Rules

Whilst RP'ing is not mandatory, I do wish that you show up once in a while to say "hi". RP'ing has its benefits, trust me.
1. No God-Moding at all! It is not tolerated here, not now, not ever! If you don't know what it is, ask.

2. Romance is allowed, but don't take it too far. Keep it at a PG-13, at the most. Anything beyond that, take it outside of Gaia. It's a PG-13 site, and let's keep it that way.

3. No injuring people/pets badly without consent. A little minor scratch is acceptable, but say a stab in the stomach with a butcher knife is not.

4. Try and be as literate as you can. This means no 1337, none of that. Spelling mistakes are ok. Use grammar though, I don't want to see poorly constructed sentences that'll make brains explode.

5. You only know what you are told about the Eidechses. Nothing more. If you want to know more, feel free to ask.

Eggs: At this point in life, they're about to begin their journey of life. They can't do much, but they can hear what's going on outside around them. Be sure to keep them warm! Either wrap them in a blanket, put them under a heat lamp, or whatever method you see fit. The occasional wiggle might pop up, other than that, it's very limited as to what it can do. Female on the left, male on the right.


User Image


Babies: Male on the left, female on the right. After coming out from their eggs, they're more vulnerable than before. Keep a close eye on them, as they have a habit of wandering off. They might also have a habit of making things fall from shelves and such, so make sure to keep dangerous objects as far away as possible. They can make noises, but are not yet capable of human speech yet. Be sure to teach them good from bad, and raise them as you would a human baby!


User Image


Teens: The usual rebellious stage of any creature. For the Eidechses, that's not entirely the case. While some may be, most tend to be loyal to their owners. They know more than they knew as a child, and follow whatever values you taught them to. Their human speech is not yet fully developed, but they can understand most of the things you say. Keep teaching them strong values! Female on left, male on right.


User Image


Young Adults: Female on left, male on right. They're at the stage in life where they're pass the teenage part, but not yet to the adult stage. Sort of a medium, if you will. Fully capable of human speech and understanding. Though, there are still things that they have yet to learn. They may start acting strangely, and experiment with things that they never had before. Things such as flirting. At this point, they are capable of breeding, as they are far more developed than the teenage stage.


User Image


Adults: Female on left, male on right. They've finally reached the point of life where you can call them "adults". They're quite knowledgeable in the ways of life. At this time, they may have even already settled down and had a family of their own. Strangely enough, they're still quite fond of you, their owner. Even though humans during this time tend to move away and act independently, Eidechses are different. They are still dependent of you, quite fond of you too. Fully capable of breeding.


User ImageUser Image


Elders: Female on left, male on right. This stage is that beyond of an adult. Not quite the pruney, old, stinky grandparent your parents make you visit every weekend or so, but certainly not as young as adults in their prime either. They're much wiser, as they've experienced more things in life. However, during this stage they have more lazy tendencies then before. Maybe they'll take a few more naps throughout the day then before. During this stage, they're not quite as depenedent upon you as before, but their fondness towards you has never faded either. Also fully capable of breeding.
[Subspecies banner here]

The following contains information on Eidechse subspecies. If full growing, they will grow in the traditional lineart, only the Adult stage will turn into whichever subspecies it is meant to be. There are no Elders for these stages.

Subspecies are Eides that have evolved differently over the years to adapt to the naturally changing world. They are fully capable of breeding with the main species, or even with other subspecies. Conflicting subspecies will have to RP out breedings in order to breed.


User Image

Familiars: These little cousins to the giant Eidechses don't hold as much of a threat to the two-legged men. Nevertheless, they are protected by their more giant and more fearsome ancestors in the wild. Some humans have domesticated these tiny creatures as pets. They are about the size of a medium to large sized dog, but they tend to be easier to train and behave better than most dogs. Due to massive inbreeding and other unfortunate events, they are unable to breed without extreme human intervention and attention.

User Image
Angelic: Personality wise, they're quite passive and gentle by nature. The most caring type of Eidechse there is. A far cry from the regular "winged, pure beings". Though, they are more slender and elegant as compared to the Elder stage. Being around them helps soothe the mind and spirit, they are believed to carry healing properties, both physically and emotionally. Usually, they tend to roam in the same areas as the main species of Eides, though spotting them is a whole other story. They possess the power to heal minor wounds for those near their proximity. If there's a room full of negative emotions (rage, conflict, etc) they are also capable of lessening said emotions. Clashes with the Demonics.

User Image
Demonic: Aggressive, controlling and manipulative by nature. They will do almost anything to get their way, even if it means cheating. Just one look into their eyes will send fear throughout the entire body. The breath from their mouths are believed to be poisonous gas, in order to easily kill their prey. A whip from their tails will knock almost anything unconscious, if not kill them or at least crush their bones. Their tail-blades and claws could rip anything easily to shreds. Found near the hotter climates of this world, or living in small groups in darker places such as caves. Demonics can cause slightly more rapid injuries if for example, they cut someone, the wound would bleed more. Or they can make people more emotionally negative such as paranoid, angry, etc. Clashes with Angelics.

User Image
Earth Elemental: Gentle giants. The largest breed of Eidechse known to man. They enjoy sunbathing outside and looming about in the great outdoors. Though their size is significantly larger in comparison to "you", they are the second most gentle creatures next to the Angelics. But because of their massive size, their mobility is limited. Even if they are gentle, don't provoke them, they could squish you easily. They can be found near the mountains located towards the middle of land. Earth elementals can make small amounts of flora bloom if they touch it. Clashes with Lightening.

User Image
Fire Elemental: Hot headed, quick tempered creatures. Also quite aggressive, but not nearly as much as the Demonics. They enjoy the hot weather, but despise the cool weather. Always one of the first to start an argument or fight. They enjoy living life on the "rough" side. Though they are known for their sudden bursts of energy, a short while after them they grow tired. Their fiery bodies are prone to starting fires. They are able to filter the poisonous gasses spat out by the volcanoes they enjoy living near. It is not recommended that any normal creature approach them in their natural environment due to the dangers associated with volcanoes. They can control (within a reasonable limit) the fire on their bodies. If they pleased, they would probably shoot fire from their bodies to cause fires. Clashes with Ice.


User Image
Ice Elemental: Cool, collective and calm. Quite possibly the calmest breed next to the Earth elementals. Always located near the icy tundra or tops of mountains where the air is thin. Their bodies have adapted over the years to breathe in small amounts of air at a time. They like to take things slow. Usually seen alone, they hardly associate with others. Their trust is one of the hardest to earn, but if you've earned it...you've really earned it. They tend to be loners and have a hard time finding a mate, or maybe they just don't really care for such things? Either way, they just really don't care about most things. Any water vapor they touch, they can freeze. However, only the most powerful of Ice elementals can make water vapor in the air freeze. Clashes with Fire.

User Image
Lightening Elemental: The fastest breed of Eidechse there is. Also one of the fiercest when it comes to racing or competition of any sorts. The smallest of the elemental breeds, but to make up for it, their speed is incredible. Almost as fast as lightening on foot. Sometimes, the massive voltage running through their bodies can cause interference with other electronic devices. Usually seen avoiding water like the plague; even water can cause them to shock themselves. They are most often spotted in open plains competing with one another; especially if there’s a lightning storm. Capable of shooting electricity off their bodies for a short distance. Clashes with Earth.


Mystery Stage? Mystery Elemental?: The most mysterious and rarely seen breed of all. These lizards are sometimes referred to as gods due to their wisdom and close association with the earlier breeds of Eides. Consider yourself lucky if you ever come across one. Some are not even sure if they truly exist anymore, or if they're myths or illusions. Most believe they've since evolved or died off. Rumors have it they dwell in the darkest of caves and offer their wisdom to those who find them.

Breeding Info
Basically these are subject to whenever the colorists want to open them up. Each egg is 10k each. Post all requests in the appropriate colorists workshops.

Normal non-RP'ed relationship: 2-4 babies
Heavily RP'ed relationship (3+ full length RPs)/ Bribed: 4-6 babies


There will be no incestuous relationships allowed. Even in the world of these lizards, family breeding relations can cause serious birth side-affects, and we don't want a lizard with missing eyeballs walking around. Your Eidechse can be gay, bi or swing whatever way they wish. Because eggs are fertilized outside of one's body, any Eide of any gender may produce eggs.

There is no limit to how many times an Eide can breed, but if you win a slot you cannot breed until at least 1 month has passed as to open up chances to others. Also those Eides with eggs cannot breed again until their eggs are at the Young Adult stage.

Eidechses of any normal or subspecies may breed. Subspecies will produce offspring that grow through the normal stages of egg to adult, but instead of an adult stage they will have the subspecies form instead. There are no hybrids, but there is a 25% increased chance offspring will take after the mother's subspecies. In the event of gay or lesbian couples, the "mother" will be randomly chosen.

Conflicting Elementals must RP out their relationship in order to reproduce. Minimum requirement of 1 full length RP.

What you can do with your eggs:
• Keep them amongst yourself
• Give them away to a friend
• "Donate" it back to the shop to give away in your place
• Hold an event to give it away (such as free raffle, RP contests and so forth)

Q: Can I please have an Eidechse?
A: I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait for a flatsale, auction, event or raffle in order to obtain one.

Q: How many can we have?
A: As many as you want. There will be newbie sales and such once in a while. :3

Q: Can I direct-link?
A: Feel free to, but your Eide(s) may not necessarily "grow" under the same link.

Q: I think ___ stage is so cute! Can I have my Eidechse stay that stage forever?
A: Sure...but we ask that you obtain it as a X-stage only custom.

Q: What're the benefits to RP'ing?
A: For one thing, your pet will probably grow to an Elder. There will be other perks, too.

Q: I have some questions that haven't been answered yet, can I PM you to ask you?
A: Sure! As long as you know for sure that the question is not on the thread, you can go ahead and PM me or even post in the thread about the question

Q: Can I co-own an Eidechse with someone else?
A: Unless it's a twin-headed one or twins, you cannot as it will be difficult to RP.

Q: Do Eidechses have special powers?
A: The main species does not; however the subspecies each have limited powers associated with their elements. Each Elemental is a little different, so powers may vary.

Q: I own a shop and would like to do a pet trade with you, will you accept?
A: PM the appropriate colorist with your offer.

Q: If I suddenly have to leave for a short-long period of time for whatever reasons, what should I do?
A: We don't need a reasoning, as I'm sure it is a good enough reason for your hiatus. But please do tell us one way or the other so that we know you didn't just disappear out of nowhere.

Q: Can I participate in a Flatsale for someone else?
A: You may, as long as you state who you are participating for. But you, yourself won't be able to get one during that particular one.

Q: On the same topic as above, can I bid for someone else?
A: No, it'd be too confusing, and I wouldn't know if he/she actually wanted to bid on it. And, please only bid with what you have.

Q: Can I have a journal?
A: Sure, as long as you link us to it. But please be sure to state the rules for your journal for readers and the like.

Q: Can I come work for you? biggrin
A: If you REALLY are interested, PM ~KiraKaguya~ with samples.

Q: What's with the flavor thing under Owner's List?
A: It was originally an inside joke I made saying some of the Eidechses taste like certain things. It's just a joke, so if you choose ignore it.
