Minor Sipperworld Species (Companions)
Etherheim is brimming with all sorts of unique creatures, many of which can be created for free under certain conditions (as a semi-open species). These minor sipperworld species (or MSS for short) play a supportive role for the playable races, in a way that is comparative to pets or companions.
Rules and Guidelines
As long as you are in ownership of one or more official Etherheim player race designs, such as a potion sipper (obtained via official adopt, custom, MYO slot, etc), then you are free to create any of the MSS listed further below, for free! However, there are certain rules/guidelines that should be followed:
- Please run your MSS designs by me (Fumi-LEX) for approval, when you get the chance to (this needs to be done before the design is transferred out of your ownership in any form). The best place to contact me about this is DeviantART (note me directly, or through the potion-sipper group), or on discord via DM if you're a member of the potion sipper discord server (invite link).
- These designs may only be traded, sold, or gifted to another person who own's an official Etherheim player race design (potion sipper, etc). You are technically allowed to create adopts from these (all profits earned this way go to you by default, just to clarify), so long as you follow the aforementioned rule by not selling/trading them to someone who doesn't currently own a sipper/playable race design AND you have the design approved by me beforehand.
- MYO minor species designs currently won't be added to the masterlist, so you'll need to be careful about seeking proof of ownership on your own if someone offers to trade/sell/gift one to you. The best examples of this are a screenshot of me approving the design or, if they got the design from someone else, a screenshot of the sale/trade/etc conversation they had with the previous owner. Although I won't be able to compensate any loss from scams involving minor species, please do still report it to me so I can ban/blacklist the scammer and prevent others from being scammed by them in the future.
- Be mindful that if a Etherheim game were to be released, you might need to still earn these creatures in order to use them in-game (even though you already own their design) Please understand that this is to keep the story and game progression intact.
- In the event that you no longer have a potion sipper or other playable race design (aka you traded/gifted/sold all potion sipper(s) you had), you are allowed to keep/use any minor species designs that you had during the duration of owning that playable race design (in other words, they won't be revoked/scrapped/anything like that) However, you won't be able to make/obtain any further minor species designs until you become a potion sipper owner again.
- You may create minor species designs based on other characters that you own, but please do keep in mind that if you trade/sell/etc the design in the future to someone who doesn't own a sipper/playable race design, that new owner won't be able to use the minor species form of the design anymore (it technically isn't supposed to exist at that point, it might be best to scrap the minor species form before transferring design ownership to avoid confusion)
- If you want to change the species of a MYO MSS design (permanently) you are allowed to, and doing so lifts any rules and restrictions mentioned here. If you didn't create the design yourself, please ask me about it first.
MSS Companion Species List
With the guidelines out of the way, here's a comprehensive list of all currently existing MSS companions.
The first version is ordered by size, which is relevant information for custom extras. It has been compressed since it's an optional version of the list, clicking on the section below will expand it if you wish to see.

Elementals
General information about elementals will found here in the future! In the meantime, check out the ones revealed so far:
Luxies
Physical manifestations of light magic, with a clione-like appearance. Different types have different functions, but are most commonly used as light sources for the inhabitants of Etherheim. |
Mystkats
Feline-like wind elementals with bodies made entirely of mist. The more magical items one consumes, the larger and more fearsome it becomes. Once it has a taste of power, it craves more, and will stop at nothing to get it. They have a bad reputation as thieves and bullies, as a result. |

Avians
General information about avians will be found here in the future! In the meantime, check out the ones revealed so far:
Hammerbeaks
Large, flightless birds with huge beaks, which they use to hammer crystals, breaking them into digestible shards. They are commonly kept as mounts, beasts of burden, and travel companions by the inhabitants of Etherheim. |
Idyllwings

Pegakyrns and Cozikyrns
Elegant creatures resembling equines (horses, unicorns, pegasi etc). Pegakyrns have two huge sets of wings in place of legs, capable of transforming into regular equine legs for movement on land. They're sometimes used as mounts, though the process can be difficult due to their high standards. They leave their babies to live in herds of their smaller relatives, cozikyrns. |

Bugs
General information about bugs will be found here in the future! In the meantime, check out the ones revealed so far:
Notebugs (and Bookflowers!)
Little creatures that resemble moths or butterflies, who can absorb words right off a page to display on their wings. They plague bookflowers, enchanted plants that the inhabitants of Etherheim use in place of paper and books. |
Dusterpuffs and Striped Pipers
Dusterpuffs are tiny, fluffy creatures who feed on the magic dust left behind by other creatures, such as potion sippers. Striped pipers are similarly small and fuzzy, though their bodies are long and limbless. They have stingers for noses and a bad attitude to match! |

Slimes
General information about slimes will be found here in the future! In the meantime, check out the ones revealed so far:
Shellphones
A type of shelled slime capable of both telepathically contacting others of their kind, and perfectly mimicking the sounds of other creatures. Inhabitants of Etherheim use them to contact each other over great distances! They come in many different shapes and sizes. |
Moozies and Sneeps
Strange mollusks that vaguely resemble cows and sheep respectively. Moozies are gentle giants that create a milk-like substance within their shells. Sneeps on the other hand produce caustic slime that melts through nearly any material, which inhabitants take advantage of as a method of waste disposal. |
