Same with merwolves.

So if you guys are fighting over who came up with what, none of you are right. All mer-creatures are gonna have fins and crap, so chances of the breeds looking the same are both likely and unlikely. So if this is going to tun into a finger-pointing game, it's going to stop now.

EDITED: Same with mercats as well:

Pretty much everything has been created an aquatic creature, it all depends on how you draw it that deciphers whether you copied an "idea" or not. Even tho it is weird that along with you and approximately three other people made "new breeds" at the same time as LLE, none of them are as original. Sorry. Ideas have been used many times already. Stop arguing over a lost cause.

awwww some of them mercats are so cute, anyways that just proves that it was not Tibbs creation and therefore she had no right not to let the breed be used because it was allready being used oh and by the way good find cat

An idea for a name... "Dara" means "Water," so you could use it like a scientific name, as something like:

Daracanis, or something... just my idea. Very original, I like these!!!

Hey. I just proved all of you wrong, so don't act like you were right. Nobody likes a kissass

I do not believe that that kind of language is allowed here... it was more of a flame.
Anyway... I don't think this was intentionall... she didn't know they existed, so she had her own... as long as they are not exactly the same. ANd you're right: Aquatics will have fins and such, but as long as the thought was original (What counts) I think it's fine. I think she should go ahead... mistakes happen.

I didn't say she should "stop making them." I was telling them that their "ideas" have been used before so there's no need to argue over something stupid.

Oh, OK... though I didn't see them arguing... it seemed more of a debate

For your imformation Cat you didn't prove me wrong because I also said that these had allready been made! So don't go calling me a kissass when I dont kiss anybodys ***!!! Especially not yours!!!!

There's no need for such anger.

wowowowow stop all the fighting if this topic made a mess of things then im afraid that ill have to ask black shimmer to lock it

Yes, there's no point in arguing about who was first to make the breed up I also don't see the point in saying that she or whoever who also creates "new" creatures is copying LLE because she also created a breed. That's childish, because I'm sure LLE wasn't first one in the world who created the breed XD Look at those different kinds of dogs XD
