Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: While it is impossible to give an accurate portrayal of the Yumenokei's habitat, they can
usually be found in forest clearings bathed in moonlight, or quiet places with a sense of peace to them.
Clear streams, and quiet fields are welcome, but it seems these creatures can be just as happily taken to a
sprawling city, or meager town.
Diet: Yumenokei do not seem to be a corpreal being, and therefor have a less than standard diet. It has
been observed that they generally feed off of the creative energy released in any form of artistry. Dance,
music, poetry, or art- these creatures are found frequently in touch with those highly skilled, giving
inspiration and motivation in return for the expended energy of their owners. Likewise, great thinkers, and
puzzling minds find the Yumeno drawn to them in an unusual way. It is said also that the Yumenokei feed
upon nightmares in the dreamscape, though proof has yet to be found. As to a more conventional fare, it
seems that the only thing anyone has ever been able to get a Yumenokei to physically eat, is mochi. --They
are particularly fond, it seems, of ume filling.
Call: A Yumenokei seems at first to make no noise at all, instead being a silent companion which depends
more on vauge body language. But with enough attention and affection, these creatures will indeed begin to
'speak' to their owners, little whispering noises like the sounds of a fall breeze, and in the case of extreme
happiness, a noise that can only be described as the sound of far-away chimes.
Special Care Needs: Once each month, the Yumenokei seem to lose all sense of themselves to their
particular auspice in a case of 'moon madness'. At this particular time, the normally peaceful and passive
creatures become wild and prone to unusual behavior. For the most part it seems as though nothing at all
can be done to stop their frantic urgency to escape the watchful eyes of their owners, and dash off into the
night. It is best to simply allow your Yumenokei to go where it will in this stage, for in the morning they will
always return to a beloved owner, and the savings you will reap in lack of property damages far outweigh
the pain of having to part with your creature for a single night. Each of the breeds falls under a particular
auspice, and it is advised to keep track of your calender.
Biology and Anatomy: Yumenokei are spirit-creatures, and generally lack physical anatomy and biology.
Behavioral Study: Yumenokei are a strange breed of creature and though their behavior is sometimes
unpredictable, it seems to be regulated to the cycles of the moon. When not experiencing ‘Moon Madness’,
you can expect these creatures to be loyally beside their owners- or perhaps staying within the homes
study. Epithetical creatures at the very basic, these strange spirit-like beings are driven to inspire whomever
chooses to share their lives and often-times do so with minimal effort. Though they can be aloof at times,
and even rather finicky- they remain soft-tempered. Often uneasy with strangers they prefer a solitary owner
and a close-knit bond through which they may inspire, and their master does create.
Suggested Uses: Yumenokei have a strong aversion to battle, and a penchant towards creative forces. In
such circumstances, it is reccomended that one have these creatures as gentle companions and beloved
pets, rather than extensively trained beasts of war.

| Breeds Available |
Gengetsu: Aligned with the Crescent Moon.. Playful, energetic, loving and easily distracted. The Gen have
mixed genders, depending on the individual - and are usually one of the most highly sought after for pets,
for their playful natures.
Shingetsu: The Shin's time is the time when the moon's face is covered by darkness. Fiercely loyal,
extremely devoted, drawn to those with a high sense of honor and responsibility, is frequently looked upon
as a more 'sneaky' breed - as strange as that would seem for such an honorable creature, and is the only
one to be prone to defend itself, or its owner upon case of attack. Shin are all male.
Bougetsu: Bougetsu, the full moon... Quiet, reserved, gentle and magestic. The Bou are always female, if
such an ethreal thing can be female - and the other Yumenokei seem to leave it in general peace, if not
follow it around everywhere like lost puppies.
