Welcome to the Kyume Grotto!
Kyumes are a closed species that were created by Crimson_Nixeon on IG, but are now owned by HannahRose. This species is a closed RPG meaning you cannot make your own without a myo. Adopts are usually available as well. If you don't have a kyume or a myo, don't worry! We have a beginner myo prompt to start you off!The premise for this species is that they were created to help their companions though difficult times to provide emotional support and understanding.
Everything you need in one spot!
From lore to MYO prices and our RPG prompts, everything you need right here!

The map down below is a rough idea of the grotto's areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a kyume?
A kyume is a magical creature that was created by a dragon-like entity called The Mother. These creatures were created for her comfort and companionship, but she’s since created enough that they can go out and be companions to other species outside the grotto. Passenger is her personal kyume companion. This species was created by Crimson_Nixeon and owned by Liminal-Alienzz.How do you use MYOs?
Myos or Make-Your-Owns are tickets that allow you to make your own kyume! Each ticket has a different tier ranging from common-legendary. Common myos only allow for common traits whereas legendary myos allow any trait from common to legendary. The same concept goes for uncommon myos and rare ones. These kyumes will need to be approved by an admin before they are considered legitimate.How is "kyume" pronounced?
Kyoom, Kyoo-may, or kyoo-meWhat is a mutation potion and how many mutations can you use on one kyume?
Mutation potions are an item that would give a kyume a trait they wouldn’t otherwise have! They work in tandem with a myo and are NOT a myo ticket. For lore reasons you can have up to 6 mutations per kyume, any more and there’s an increased chance of chronic illness.What are seasonal traits/tickets?
A seasonal ticket is a special item that can be used in tandem with a regular myo ticket, or as a myo ticket in and of itself. It gives your kyume special traits depending on the season, such as water parts for the summer or snowy wings for the winter. These traits are locked to the season you’re in unless you’re buying a custom or adopt from an admin/guest artist.What are chronic illnesses?
Chronic illnesses are what they sound like, continual incurable illnesses for kyumes. They range from sun allergy to being totally deaf to having permanent amnesia. There are guides for what we have available as chronic illnesses.Do you need an item to give your kyume a chronic illness?
You do not, these are not considered traits.Where do I submit my kyume to the masterlist and where can I view it?
Please refer to the welcome tab for the link to the ML and world.How tall are kyumes?
Between 6 inches to 1 foot tall normally, but with a mutation potion can be up to 3 feet tall. Gen 1 kyumes are always 3 feet tall.What kinds of companions can kyumes have?
Any kind from humans to MLP characters, only requirements are human-like sentience so no feral animals! While kyumes do have their own world they are not limited to it unless you’re specifically setting your kyume into the grotto.What do I do if the kyume I bought is voided?
Kyumes can be voided for any reason, due to the owner requesting it or the owner being banned. You will know if a kyume is voided due to it not being on the ML, to unvoid a kyume you will need to DM the owner (Either LiminalWave or HannahRose) with proof of purchase and a request to have it added back to the world.How does the frozen sapphire work?
This item gives your kyume an alt form, if you have a normal kyume it'll allow them to have a naga body, centaur body, or a mermaid body, and vice versa for all the other forms..How does the Golden Opal work?
If your kyume has this it will allow them to shapeshift into kyumes they know extremely well. This item has to have the consent of the other kyume otherwise it will not work.How do Holiday seasonal traits work?
Any of the holiday based seasonal traits can be use during the whole month they appear in.
This isn't effected by you hemisphere.
For example
Christmas traits can be used during all of DecemberWhat do I do if I wanna despecies my kyume?
If you want to do any despeciesing a kyume for any reason all you need to do is to remove them from the world and if they have any kyume related tags to remove those

Lore info
History
Kyumes were created by a dragon-like entity called "The Mother" back before the 1600 witch trials. They were created to be companions to magicians as well as just the general public and are meant to help with negative emotions via absorbing them when their companion is in distress. Otherwise they are just like lifelong companions. Kyumes are almost completely immortal though they can be killed, but if left to exist on their own they live for centuries!During the Witch Trials, Mother went into hiding with her kyumes due to persecution and a manhunt on kyumes being deemed evil and satanic for their magical properties. The kyumes that followed created a society in the cave systems known as The Grotto, which is where they live in between companions or if they're retired.There are three separate generations of kyumes, gen 1, 2, and 3. Gens 2 and 3 are available through normal myos, Gen 1 are only available through gen 1 myos, which are obtained through monthly giveaways and events.Gen 1: These are the first kyumes made by Mother. The first not completely scraped kyume was Passenger. They are characterized as tall and mischievous, but over all friendly. Their max height being 3 feet. There aren't many of these kyumes but they are strong buggers. They typical have a disliking of the more restrictive rules that where not introduce by Passenger themselves...
These kyumes live in a separate grotto, with the remaining Gen 1 kyumes from before the witch trials hiding and thriving. Recently they have been reunited with the Gen 2 and 3 kyumes, as well as mother, which has been cause for much more celebration. They still live in this separate grotto but now travel between both grottos has been established for all kyumes!Gen 2: These kyumes where made after morher went and found to find a safer home for kyumes. These kyumes are much smaller and what are what most people know of as kyumes. They have a max height of 1 foot. They are know to be supper friendly. This Gen is know for be companions. This is due to the fact kyumes where not aloud to leave the Grotto without having a companion for safety. They kinda just go with the flow. They where devastated though when the first Gen 2 kyume was killed.Gen 3: No one really knows what's going on with them. There are a few things though. Most kyumes agree this Gen begins at the 100 year decent of the old leader. The biggest difference as of now with these kyumes is the fact they like staying in the Grotto,and have made the place a lot more comfortable. It is also now a lot more explored.
Fresh Kyumes
Kyumes don't have an inftant stage, they're all created fully grown. Kyumes that are new from the Mother's cave are called "Fresh" and have no knowledge of the world they are created into! The library is where they learn how to do their companion job as well as getting and customizing their own masks.Masks are very personal to kyumes, and they don't actually choose their own mask type, they get the one they are most drawn to. Due to masks being extremely personal to kyumes, it's highly discouraged to do anything that would destroy it unless absolutely needed. Kyumes wear masks to make their companions comfortable with their eye-less appearances. Kyumes with object heads typically don't get masks.
Familial bonds
Since kyumes are created by Mother, they don't have the ability to reproduce themselves asexually or sexually. In the case of kyumes who want families they take on fresh kyumes under their care until they're completely ready to be on their own. Even afterward they still consider each other families and will often live together in between companions.Kyumes can have 1 or multiple kyume partners, and even have little marriage services where they swap masks as a sign of lifelong partnerships, normally these are the kyumes who adopt fresh ones, but single parent kyumes also exist.
Food
Kyumes don't have a digestive tract but they still need to eat! Kyumes can eat most any food and all of it is used to replenish their magic stores in their body. In special cases, kyumes with chronic illnesses need to eat sugar in order to keep their illness managable.Kyumes in the grotto have their own cafe, saloon, and other smaller stand up shops to buy their favorite foods and drinks!
Sleep Habits and Power
Sleep is another way to rejuvenate a kyume's magic but it's not as effective as food. Kyumes still need it though and depending on a variety of factors they can either be night owls or early birds and everything in between!All kyumes have at least one magical power, it can be elemental or something silly, so long as it's appropriate the possibilities are endless. While it is rare, some kyumes are created without any magical capabilities at all but they hide that fact due to an NPC that will actively go out of their way to hurt them.
Extra information
Kyumes can be assigned companions by visiting the saloon and filling out an application. Most kyumes have to wait awhile for a good match, but some get their companion match right away! It all depends on the kyume and what they're looking for. If kyumes are companions to creatures outside of their main world (spirotest) they will be sent to speak with someone in regards to opening a portal to where they need to go.Kyumes who decide to be life partners (or polycules) will have a mask switching ceremony that's similar to a wedding.Unfortunately there are such things as kyumes who are not allowed to have companions for how they look, generally the rule is nothing that would scare the general public. Thankfully this is a rare occurance as the kyume has to be a total abomination in terms of looks to be banned.The Mother has provided a companion stone that will tell kyumes what their perfect companions would be, it's speculated to be a swirl stone but no one is sure.Traits used to be distributed with differing chances that you'll be able to get something considered "rare" or "legendary" by Mother since she was very concerned about the safety of her kyumes. Now that Gen 1 has been found and brought home she has been celebrating by giving all new kyumes an equal chance to have different features that they would have otherwise needed to eat trait treats for!
(Traits that would have been anything other than common are now allowed to be used using a base myo ticket rather than having to get different tickets to unlock more traits!)
Kyumes traits!
All the traits kyumes can have, including seasonal and mutations!
Kyumes creation guide
Base traits
Base traits are exactly what they sound like, typical kyume traits that most if not all kyumes have.
Base traits vary in looks, and used to have rarity tiers. As of December 2023 we no longer have rarities for the base traits.
Mutations
Mutations are either given by the mother herself or are added on by mutation potions.
Kyumes cannot have more than 6 mutations at a time due to fear of causing chronic illness.Seasonal traits
Seasonal traits are also given to a kyume by the mother or they can be added on via Seasonal ticket.
Seasonal traits depend on the season the kyume is in, so if it's summer they will have a pick of summer traits, if it's winter then it'll be the winter ones. This will vary depending on the hemisphere you are in
Kyume anatomy
Differences between the generations
Gen 1
Gen 1 kyumes come from the Gen 1 sanctuary, they are 3 ft tall and are generally more lanky looking. Instead of the tall mutation they have a short mutation so they can be the size of a gen 2 or 3 kyume. They are all ancient. Unless they have been reunited with Mother or traded with a gen 2/3 kyume they will not have more modern looking traits generally.Gen 2
Gen 2 is the second generation that came after Mother hid them from Witch Hunters during the witch trials. They are between 6in-1ft tall and can have the tall mutation that will give them the ability to be up to 2 ft tall. They are thicker and more bottom heavy than gens 1 and 3.Gen 3
Gen 3 is a happy medium of both gens 1 and 2, they stand between 1.5ft and 2ft tall. They are lankier than gen 2 but thicker than gen 1. They have access to both the tall and short mutations and can be made as tall as a gen 1 or as short as a gen 2.
How to use false eyes
False eyes
No doubt you have seen the "false eyes" on a kyume art piece and wondered what the heck they were since kyumes do not have eyes. They are used as an optional visual indicator for kyume expressions and to see where a kyume is looking in an art piece.That being said they are very common for people to draw so here is a guide on how they work!Please note that when you are submitting a kyume for approval they are NOT allowed to have false eyes on the ref since they could be confused for eyes and may not be approved!

Grotto creatures!
Halo Tumblers!
Halo Tumblers are new to the grotto, they originated in the First Gen Sanctuary and once contact was made with the First Gen kyumes, they were eventually brought over when Cera the rancher came to see flatwaves!They are used primarily for construction, and stand at 4 ft tall. Characterized by their bony neck frill, digging claws, and club tails, they can also roll up into balls to sleep or smash into walls!This species is also used as a rideable species outside of construction, especially during the summer months when flatwaves go into the deep caves to breed.
Magic info!
Here is the information for kyume magic and magical items!
Chronic Illnesses
Here is the information for kyume chronic illnesses. These are open-traited and do not require items to add to your kyumes!When adding a chronic illness to your kyume please note you can only add ONE illness per kyume.
Flatwaves!
This is a species used primarily for getting around, they come in two variants which are terrestrial and Aquatic. They came about due to the inherent magical nature of the grotto, but were not created by Mother. Instead, these already existed in the grotto streams and rivers, and only recently has a subspecies become terrestrial! Aquatic ones are smaller at 3 ft tall, where as the newly evolved terrestrial ones stand at 4 ft tall. Kyumes who go to get a flatwave do not get to choose their own, rather, the flatwave chooses them instead! To do this, kyumes will go to the ranch and wait to see who comes up and accepts them as their rider.During the summer months, flatwaves are a closed species due to them going into the deep caves of the grotto to breed, so from June 1st -September 1st they are considered closed.Terrestrial flatwaves are the newer of the two species, learning how to breathe air and fly, they grew extra bones in their wings to allow them to stand on the ground, as well as a specialized hump on their back that kyumes can stick a saddle on to ride.Aquatic flatwaves are the older variant, and much more squishy. Kyumes who own aquatic flatwaves don't ride them like the terrestrial ones are ridden. Instead, there are two antenna-like growths on their head that kyumes will hold onto while getting pulled around! These growths are specialized for this purpose and holding/pulling on them does not hurt the flatwave.All flatwaves are lighter on their bellies and darker on their backs! They can have any colors/patterns so long as that is followed.
Claebies!
Claebies are pottery / stone based service aids to help your kyume in every day life.
Either it be emotional assistance or a seeing-eye helper, you’re able to get your kyume a companion.
