Description

Edit: I almost forgot these were a things, omg... Updating because it was Squirrel Day and there are still some available! :3

Surprise! Squirrels! I didn't get to stream yesterday because I didn't feel my art was up to par for streaming, plus I spent the day drawing with a friend-- but I did manage to doodle a squirrel base... with wings! These are Cloudy Squirrels, basically just squirrels with wings and cloud tails because why not? I don't think I'll make them a species, but I'll give a little optional lore on them. Feel free to change them into another species and edit them however you'd like when you buy one! Also I want to say a big thank you to those who gave me pictures of the sky, I used them to help me design the last eight. You guys are awesome!

The reason I made these was because my dA subscription is about to end, and I hate spending actual money on renewing it and prefer to use points-- so some of these will be available for points as well as money until I reach the amount I need for a new one! Once I reach the amount, I'll no longer accept points because I don't have any other use for them.




Cloudy Squirrel Lore (optional):
In a land where squirrel kind was more technology advanced and ruled the ground, many mysterious trees grow within in this forest-filled world. There was one tree in particular that interested many. This tree grew nuts that cause a reaction with squirrel bodies that then made them form wings temporarily. The squirrels envied birds, rulers of the sky above, so many ate these nuts to travel in the sky alongside the birds. With this flight, they could deliver messages faster, visit loved ones that lived far away, and if feeling mischievous, fly into birds' nests to steal food and eggs. It was a popular tree where many squirrels united with one another to show off their new wings.

What came with great power was great greed however. A organized well-trained group of squirrels ended all the fun by wielding weapons and guarding the tree for themselves. Although the number of squirrels that were against this group was vast, they were unable to get pass the groups' barrier and skilled fighting tactics. Not only did they keep all the nuts for themselves, some had a dark desire to use their powers to attack kingdoms and attempted to overthrow the government. The power of the nuts alone was not enough to be able to do this, so they tampered with a part of the tree with magic practices, causing the nuts to mutate into fruit. This fruit was rare, but when eaten, the consumer would form featherless wings and long whiskers, making them more intimidating in appearance. In addition to intimidation, the consumer was also give great strength that could take down at least 100 squirrels. With this much power, they started to take over kingdoms on the land and sky one by one. Surprisingly the sky kingdoms were much easier to take over as the birds did not expect to be attacked from below and their sky kingdoms soon fell.

As these squirrels at more and more nuts and fruit, their wings started to last for much longer than usual. Their fur started to change, sometimes into unnatural colors and patterns. Slowly they appeared to be wearing the sky on their fur, though a few had fur that mocked bird patterns. It wasn't long before these group of squirrels realized these colors were permanent, and eventually their wings and cloud-like tails. Other squirrels thought of them as beasts and began to hunt them; despite having the power of flight and strength, there was only so much fighting this group could do to defend themselves. They eventually retreated to their kingdoms of the sky, never to be seen again for years.

A few normal squirrels still had sympathy for these "beasts" and became mates with them. They attempted to have children that would be non-winged squirrels to rid of their winged kind; this attempt however failed horribly. Their children came out winged and sky-coated, and although their parents were horrified at first, but overtime they accepted them and raised them as a new race of squirrel. Over the centuries these winged squirrels, separated from grounded squirrels below, began to populate the sky. They were soon forgotten by the grounded squirrels, as many mistaken them for birds or couldn't see them at all because they were blended in with the sky. Many of these winged squirrels wished for peace with the grounded squirrels, helping them every so often in secret with supplies and treating injuries. Some still didn't care to interact with grounded squirrels whatsoever and avoided them all together.

There was still a threat to peace... those that ate the mutant fruit had been out of the eye of both the feather winged and grounded squirrels. They made a hidden society that continued to eat this highly addictive fruit even though it would not strengthen them any further. It did however eat away at their positive memories and emotions, fueling their general anger and rage. Their hearts had been replaced with a strong jewel that was big enough to poke out of their chest. Their hatred of grounded squirrels had grown immensely over the years, as did their numbers and skilled warriors. After decades had past, they finally went through with their plan for revenge on those that had hunted them, attacking any grounded squirrel they saw or any feather-winged squirrel that helped ground squirrels.

These set of attacks made grounded squirrels aware of winged squirrels in a negative light, and it wasn't long before they started to hunt winged squirrels once more. They called these winged squirrels "Clouded Squirrels" because of the believe that these beasts' judgement was clouded. Even though grounded squirrels could chase away feathered Clouded Squirrels, the leathery Clouded Squirrels were able to fight back in vicious ways. They seemed impossible to kill and many fell victim or were captured by the leathery Clouded Squirrels. They became such a present problem, they called these "Clouded Squirrels" Stormers.

The feathered "Clouded Squirrels" felt very much betrayed by the grounded squirrels' stigma toward them just because of Stormers' actions. They eventually called themselves Cloudy Squirrels to be set apart from the infamous Stormers. (also they didn't appreciate being accused of having a cloudy judgement) Many Cloudy Squirrels turned their backs on grounded squirrel kind due to hurt and to avoid being attacked by Stormers. They no longer choice to mate with grounded squirrels, almost treating them as a different species. There was a few that felt sorry for the grounded squirrels and organized military forces to defend the grounded squirrels from the wrath of Stormers. Even though the grounded squirrels showed dislike for the Cloudy Squirrels, the Cloudy Squirrel military put their hearts into defending them.

The future of this world is unclear, many grounded squirrels live in fear that Stormers will populate the world and wipe out their kind. However their future may be safe if more Cloudy Squirrels put their hurt aside and fight against the Stormers.
