Wishfuls and Wishes
Wishfuls are fluffy canines that grow magical items, known as "Wishes", in their fur. Wishes are most commonly harvested by the Wishful's owner, and these items can be useful, edible, or even magical!
Wishes do not change throughout a Wishful's life (without a Trait Treat, that is), so those with extra Wishes of them tend to be more precious and sought-after, as Wishes are often sold or bartered after harvesting. Similarly, the fluffier Wish locations provide more room for growth, and the greater the number of Wish locations, the more profitable a Wishful can be.
Regardless how fabulous and fancy a Wishful may be, they will never have Wishes grow on their paw pads.

Illness and Diet
Wishes are, in many senses, like fresh fruit, and must be harvested regularly before they rot. Rotted Wishes dissolve into black sludge, oozing into the Wishful's skin and making them very sick. The only way to remove the sludge is with a medicated bubble bath - but it will take several weeks for their Wishes to begin to regrow.
To prevent Illness, it is recommended that you harvest your Wishful monthly. (Keeping your Wishful happy will come into play in a future ARPG update!)

Due to their magical nature, Wishfuls can eat just about anything - whether they should or not. They will eat standard dog food if you insist (unless you own a particularly fussy pup), but they prefer to eat what you eat, when you eat it. Occasionally, a Wishful will develop a taste for items related to their Wishes - so if yours grows precious gems, you might want to keep a lock on your jewelry box!
Temperament

While there are exceptions to every rule, Wishfuls are generally happy, loyal, and very social creatures. Their favourite thing in the world is to make people happy; they will often follow their owner around and attempt to assist in their job and hobbies (while oftentimes just getting in the way). They are fairly easy to train, but you should never be too harsh with them or you will break their spirits.
Wishfuls require plenty of attention and maintenance, and it is ideal to have more than one Wishful in the home. They LOVE the company of other Wishfuls!

Aside from their Wishes, Wishfuls have the distinguishing feature of Wish Bows. These bows have an irremovable Wish in the center and are physically attached to the Wishful. The first Wish Bow is attached to the chest; any additional Wish types attach to additional Wish Bows at specific locations (to a maximum of 3).
Wishfuls come in any colours (save white sclera), with any markings, and can wear clothing and accessories. However, try to refrain from covering their Wish location while dressing them; it creates an itchy and stifled sensation.
Additional features fall into two categories: Fantastic Features and Mutations. Fantastic Features include things like wings and hair - traits often seen in fantasy creatures. Individual Mutations, on the other hand - bizarre anomalies like extra eyes - are almost never seen anymore and are an admin-only trait. Full-Body Mutations, which contain a spectrum of traits, are obtainable by feeding your Wishful an item from the Sketchy Shop .

Wishpups


Wishpups are the young, "puppy" version of Wishfuls; breeding two Wishfuls creates a Wishpup, and raising a Wishpup produces a Wishful. They are similar in appearance in that they are canines with chest bows; however, Wishpups are too young to have started growing their Wishes yet. Being puppies, Wishpups are chubby bean-like cuties, with small ears and tail, and closed eyes. The Wish Bow stays the same size for the entire Wishpup's life, so they are quite oversized on Wishpups. Because it is not known how many Wishes a Wishpup will have when they mature, each Wishpup has only one Wish Bow, at their chest, where their strongest wish lays.
Additionally, each Wishpup is born with a star marking somewhere on its body. It is said that this is in the image of Mother Miuna. Once a Wishpup is fed a Star Sundae, containing Miuna's Wish, their star marking will slowly fade as their Wishes grow in.
Although born blind like any pup, Wishpups are not entirely defenseless; they have a magical 'bark' that throws glittering sparkles, almost like faerie dust, into the air. Any living entity who comes into contact with these sparkles will feel uplifted and happy for roughly an hour after exposure - longer if the entity is very young or elderly. Much like their star marking, this ability fades as they mature and is completely gone by the time they are full-fledged Wishfuls.
Life Cycle




Wishfuls and Wishpups are all technically born from Wish Eggs, which are 'created' when the owner-to-be has a very strong wish for a companion. Canonically, every Wishful's life cycle goes: Wish Egg; Wishpup; Wishful; stardust. For ease of understanding, however, our MYO Center provides a variety of Wish Eggs which can hatch both Wishpups and nearly any rarity of Wishful.
It is possible to create a Wishpup from two Wishfuls by Breeding. This process does not require two sexes, and in fact, Wishfuls do not possess any sexual organs. Rather, a bond between two Wishfuls - whether romantic attraction or strong friendship - and a plea to Miuna is all that is needed. The Wishpup is not 'born' per se, as there is no pregnancy, gestation, or labour - but rather delivered within their Wish Egg by Miuna herself.
A visual guide to breeding with examples can be viewed here:

Though not mandatory, a Wishpup can be Matured into a Wishful as well - a process which includes their eyes opening, Wishes growing, and star birthmark fading. Using this process, you can create generations of families.
Breeding and Maturing can both be accessed at The Nursery.
A Wishful's expected lifespan is 15-20 human years. When their time is up, Mother Miuna will come to gently escort the pup to the heavens, where it will become a star for humans to wish upon forevermore.
Mother Miuna

The "Mother" of all Wishfuls is a female named Miuna ("Me-ooh-nuh"). It is said that she was born from the stars near the beginning of civilization, when humans first began to be lonely and seek animals as pets instead of hunting game. Her Wishes are stars, which glow when they are ripe. These stars are very special, and they will grant any wish! When Miuna feeds one of her stars to a Wishpup, it triggers the Wishpup's greatest desire and develops in the form of its Wish - so each mature Wishful's Wish is exactly what they wanted it to be!
Miuna's Wishes are also capable of granting wishes to humans. This, however, is an incredibly rare occurrence, and the human must be very deserving. The only known human wishes granted by Miuna have been to become magical girls - giving the humans the power to grant the wishes and protect the safety of others.
