Character Categories
Custom (CSTM)
Designs made official by commissioning one of our staff to draw them! Some designs in this category were designed by our staff, others are designed by the commissioner.
More information regarding ordering Customs can be found here: https://waterdogworld.com/info/custom
Make Your Own (MYO)
"MYO" stands for "Make Your Own". This category is for designs created by members of our community via a MYO slot.
A MYO slot allows whoever owns one to create their own Waterdog design within accordance to our trait and species rules/restrictions. Slots can be purchased via Sand Dollars from The Sand Shop
MYO slots can have Common and Uncommon traits only. However, Rare traits can be added via The Sand Shop and/or Sea Breeze Salon. Legendary traits cannot be added unless you have an add-on like a Runestone or a Legendary treat.
Default MYOs just allow dogs though for certain events/raffles there are special Cat, Big Cat, and even MYOs that allow you to use higher tier traits.
Official Breeding (BRD)
These are official designs created by staff as a part of our (usually) monthly breeding batches!
More info about breedings can be found here:
Guest Artist (GST)
Designs in this category have been created by Guest Artists.
The term Guest Artist refers to an individual who is invited by staff to create a Waterdog/Watercat design to sell. (Please do not ask us to be a Guest Artist)
Designs created by Guest Artist that are a contest or raffle prize are listed under the Prize category.
Mod Made (MOD)
This category is for designs made by our current Staff team!
With exception of Breeding Batches, MYOs , Raffle/Contest Prizes and Tier 3 Tidal Redesigns as they each belong to their own categories.
Raffle/Event/Contest Prize (PRZ)
This category is for any design that has been won via contest or raffle.
Some designs in this category have previously been Tier 3 Tidal Redesigned, donated to Waterdoge and raffled back out into the community. Designs that have already been T3 tidaled (The old design, not the new one created via T3 tidalling) have redesign restrictions.
Some designs in this category have been created via a game know as "Ok Everyone" and also have design restrictions.
To know if a particular design in this category has these restrictions please check the "Description" tab shown under the characters image!
Visual examples:
Voided (VOID)
Designs in this category have been removed from our species, usually due to the owner breaking rules and being blacklisted from the species. There are some we have voided as request of the owners as well.
Voided designs can be remade an official Waterdog/Watercat again by sending in a report!
Tidal Parlour (TID)
These designs have been created by members of the Mod team via old Tier 3 Tidalling another official Waterdog/Watercat (that hasn't been T3 Tidalled before). They are completely separate characters to the previous design that was tidalled, and the old design has been donated to Waterdoge to be raffled back into the community.
Not all of these are designed by our Mod team. Some were pre-designed by community members and made official by T3 Tidalling.
Though old tidaling doesn't exists anymore, the mechanism still exists in the new Sea Breeze Salon!
Self Breeding (SBR)
This category is for designs made via a Self-Breeding slot!
A Self-Breeding slot is similar in a way to a MYO slot. It allows you to use two Waterdogs (sometimes Watercats when we have Watercat SB slots as prizes in events) to create a Waterpup design!
Self-Breeding designs are limited to a mix of the traits and colours their parents have. These slots can be purchased via The Sand Shop.
Unknown Owner (UNK)
Waterdogs/Watercats that have a masterlist entry but don't have a up-to-date owner known. (Example- The owner is listed on the old masterlist as an invalid link that no longer works and is a link for a website other than DA, like Toyhou.se or Instagram)
These Waterdogs/Cats can/will be transferred to their correct owners if/when proof of ownership is shown and have their categories updated. If you know the owners of any of these characters, feel free to send in a report!
NPCs (NPC)
Event characters that don't belong to anyone!
