Every time your ARPG species is depicted in an artwork of any medium, they gain 'experience points' that will level them up!

If these artworks are 'activity' artworks, you can be rewarded with loot too!

Genotype is a string of letters that basically tells how the Kukuri looks colorwise and markingwise. A lot of people refer undesigned Kukuris as "genos," as they are still only strings of letters without much identity.

Genotype always starts with the Kukuri's color. If the letters are small, that means that it is not present in the genotype. A big first letter and a small second letter (Aa) means that the gene is present as a non-dominant form, and when both letters are big (AA) it means that the gene is dominant. Knowing this, the colors respond to following letters:
Aa/ee: This means that the kukuri is CRIMSON, as Aa corresponds the crimson color.
aa/Ee: This means that the kukuri is HAZEL, as Ee corresponds to the hazel color.
aa/ee/Xx: Means the Kukuri is RAVEN. Xx correspons to the raven color, and when neither Aa nor Ee is present, it means it's pure raven.
aa/ee/Oo: is the same as raven, but PEARL color.

However, these colorations can be mixed, and that is when things get interesting. Read more about them in the Coat Colors page!

For markings, the non-dominant and dominant are written little differently. When there is a small "n" in front of the shortening (nSo), it means that the gene is non-dominant. If there is no "n" and the letter repeats itself (SoSo), it means that the gene is dominant and thus more likely to be inherited in breeding and allows the marking to have extra properties!

An import refers to a Kukuri that has been designed, officially been approved by the group and added to Kuku-ri. When someone mentions that they are selling an import or an uploaded Kukuri, it means that it isn't a geno anymore, and cannot be designed again (expect with special items).

Semi custom refers to a Kukuri which is bought from the group from an special event, and the person which bought the semi custom can decide what kind of markings the kukuri has (with limits), regardless of who the parents are. If you're familiar with Closed Species, you could think that semi custom is kind of Make Your Own (MYO), but within limits. Semi customs often come with a short or none lineage.

Slots are breeding related. Each Kukuri has a set amount of breeding slots (but the amount does raise with the kukuri's rank), which the user can either use themselves or sell for other users. You cannot breed another person's kukuri without owning a slot from the said Kukuri.
You, as an user, also have slots. Unlike Kukuris whose used slots stay with them the rest of their lifes and the total can be increased via art, yours will refresh at the beginning of every month. You can breed 4 times a month (being the person who posts the breeding) and be part of 2 splits in a month (Being eligible for some of the kukuris produced in the breeding but not being one who posts the breeding).
You can check here your personal monthly slots, and the slots any kukuri has used and their total!

When you've acquired a slot, the person who owns the Kukuri must give you a breeding permission. This is the proof that you own the said slot, and it's required to be shown in the breeding if the Kukuri is not owned by you. The breeding slot must be given on the group provided page, no other proof of the deal is eligible. That's also why it's important to keep these permissions safe, so make sure to copy the link to the comment in the Sta.sh or something similiar!

A breeding where there are two people who will be owning the Kukuris produced, divided by the rules set by them beforehand.

Pick Of The Clutch, Pick Of The Litter, and Pick Of The Bun all refer to same thing. This is a term seen in split breedings, and it basically means that whoever has the Pick Of The Clutch gets to decide first what they get.

Little lesser used term, but also split breeding related term. In this kind of pick system the decided person picks first, the other person second, the first person as third and second person as fourth (provided that the nest produced enough genos for this).

Lineage means the Kukuri's ancestors (A short family tree, if you may), and it's important when checking for inbreeding. Sire stands for the kukuri's father, and dam stands for the kukuri's mother. That means that Sire's Dam, for example, means the father's mother.

A lot of people ask activities as a payment, due to them giving them items that they might need for crafting. With activity roll they mean a kukuri that is rolled for items. Since you can draw up to 3 kukuris in one activity image, if you're asked 3 activity rolls you can do them all in one image, provided that the person owns all the 3 kukuris portrayed doing the activity in the picture.

These are terms that relate to Kukuri's gender. Dove stands for a female Kukuri, and Rook stands for a male Kukuri.

A nest of Kukuris (as in a result in breeding) is called a bun.

A group of Kukuris is referred as a loaf. Members often describe the "all the kukuris I own" as "my loaf".

The ingame money that can be acquired with doing activities and then selling them to the shop. You can check how many Crescents you have from your bank, which will be created for you when you acquire your first items/Crescents.

A picture that is required in every breeding, unless a starter is present.

Requirements for Enamored: Both Kukus must be at least 50% visible, colored, shaded and with minimal background surrounding at least 50% of both kukuris. For writing, 500 words. A same enamored picture/story can be used 2 times.

When you or someone else does art or write stories of your kukuri, it gains Fate Points. This is easiest explained as experience points, and when you acquire enough you gain new ranks that unlock new things for your Kukuri (often more breeding slots and skill points).

Skillpoints are divided in 3 different types: Attack (ATK), Defense (DEF) and Speed (SPD). Currently these skillpoints are used in special events, but will also affect quests and coliseum battles in the future.
