Filling and Stuffing

blurb.

pretty much anything again. makes sure it doesn't rot or spoil. list below suggestions only.

When a pillowing is injured or coughs up, they don't bleed. They instead lose bits of their stuffing. Pillowing can also have potpourri or scent packs inside of them to help aid their owner for sleep or anxiety. Great help for those who are home sick. This is not to be confused with the scented magical feature which allows the pillowing to produce the scent all on it's own.

Pillowing Body Fillers

Image	Filler Type	Description
Commonly Suggested Fillers; you are not required to use these. They are just here to help.
	Straw	Hay, Straw, Grass, these are all different types of filler used. Especially in the country side. They usually are a bit stiffer and a lot more prickly. Not exactly the most comfy of pillowing.
	Feathers	For those people who need something so soft it's lighter than air. These pillowing walk nearly in silence as they move around the house. These make for some of the best sleeping companions.
	Cotton	The most common filling of all pillowing. It's the cheapest and easiest to get. It also lasts longer than most and goes longer without needing to be cleaned. Most standard pillowing come with cotton or wool filling.
	Beads	Some people enjoy that beanie baby feel under their finger tips. Pillowing with this kind of filling have more noise than other pillowings, you can hear them shuffling around the house especially if you have tile or hard wood floors. Beads are usually plastic or styrofoam.
	Leftover Fabric	People who make cheaper pillowings tend to use whatever they can get for filling. A lot of the time it means cloth, rags, shreds of random fabric. These pillowing a little heavier than feathers or cotton. They are usually pretty lumpy.
	Sand	Sometimes people prefer to have something very firm. To use for cuddling or petting, these are some of the heaviest pillowing out there. Their heavy foot falls give them away when they're walking around the house. These also can me more dangerous because when they play and swat their pillows there is a lot more pressure to it thanks to the condensed sand filling.
	Rice	This is normally a special side filling. Generally for people with pain problems or older folks, pillowing with this filling will heat themselves by heaters, fire places, any heat source then go and sit on their owners who are hurting. This is a means of comfort. These pillowing are regularly found in clinics and old folks homes.
	Saw Dust	Like the fabric filling this is a cheaper option a lot of people dumb down for if they don't have access to feathers or cotton. It generally works pretty well but once in a while you'll get a prick from the wood shards inside that weren't ground up.
Special; restricted fillers for pillowings.
	Soil	Extremely difficult to maintain.
	Water	Extremely heavy and difficult to maintain.
	Air	Inflatable pillowings are typically only ever seen in the event Jumbo Pillowings.

Ears

Because of the way the Pillowing is crafted they have large sock like ears. Round and lumpy usually. There is no need for an opening in the ear for them to hear, it's not very clear how they do hear but then again a lot of their body is unclear on how it runs. The trouble with magic, it's hard to explain. Ears on Pillowing are normally purely for aesthetics.

Pillowing Ears

Image	Ear Type	Description
Common Ears
	Droop	Some pillowing's ears are heavier than others. While they still can move them pretty freely, sometimes due to their filling their ears might droop down naturally instead of perking upright.
	Standard	Normal upright ears, these are most likely what you'll see on you every day pillowing.
Uncommon Ears
	Bob	Short round upright ears. Because of how short they are they can't really droop. Very perky.
	Drops	For pillowing owners who are looking for a more puppy style pillowing. Like the Droop they still have motion of their ears but normally let them sag down.
Rare Ears
	Droop Long	Some people prefer the drooping bunny look for their pillowings. They even over stuff their ears so they can't hold them upright at all. They still have some limited motion in their ears. But too heavy to lift completely upright.
	Perky Long	Rather silly looking ears, but some people like to have more to decorate. Pillowings have full motion of their ears, even the tall upright ones like bunnies.
Very Rare Ears
	Earless	As we mentioned before, ears are just for aesthetics so really there is no need for them on a pillowing. Most people do prefer theirs with ears, you very rarely would see one without.
Special Ears
	Shaped Ears	Because ears are mostly for decorational purposes, lots of owners will go out of their ways to find talented designs to design shaped ears to make their pillowings more unique from the crowd. Pillowings themselves don't seem to mind at all. Shapes can be pretty unique pillowing to pillowing. The only factor that stays true to the pillowings body is that the ears are always full and plush like. You likely will almost never see a thinned pair of ears on pillowings that look similar to living cats and dogs.

Eyes

Pillowing eyes blurb

Pillowing Eyes

Image	Eye Type	Description
Common Eyes
	Common/Eyeless	Pillowing do not need eyes to see where they are going. They normally just have sensory in their body to direct them around objects and towards people. Like being attracted to people's auras. This is the cheapest way to get a pillowing.
Uncommon Eyes
	Beads	Not seen as often as buttons or closed, when people are looking for more "eye like" facial features but don't want to pay the extra cash for Open/Dark Eyes they usually pick the simplified bead eyes.
	Buttons	A lot of people like to decorate their pillowing and will custom theirs with Button eyes to accessorize and match a theme. This is pretty normal to see around.
Rare Eyes
	Googly Eyes	Some owners prefer their pillowing to be a bit on the goofy side, googly eyes can still emote and frown, but retain their hilarious bobble-headed pupils that dance around at their own will as the pillowing moves.
	Open Eyes	When being crafted the pillowing's eyes are embroidered onto the head to create a case for pupil marbles. It just looks like craft work until they come to life and become full animated - they then look like normal living eyes.
	Dark Eyes	Like the Open eyes, it's all just embroidery work but instead of a white eye background they use black.
	Pupils for Open Eyes	Pillowings with open eyes typically only have a round pupil with a round iris, or just a plain round iris. Sometimes the whole eye is a single color. This is commonly seen with most open eyed pillowings.
Very Rare Eyes
	Shapes for Open Eyes	Some owners like to make the extra purchase of buying special customized shapes or themes for their pillowings open eyes. The pupils can have their own distinctive shape and so can the irises if the owner chooses. All of this is purely cosmetic and has no extra functions.
	Insect Eyes	A purely cosmetic choice for owners who are looking for a pillowing with a specific theme.
Special Eyes
	Bejeweled Eyes	A purely cosmetic choice for owners who are looking for a pillowing with a specific theme. Gemstones or reflective stones replacing the pupils or irises, sometimes the entire eye itself looking more like buttons or beads instead of open eyes.
	Glowing Eyes	This is a very rare feature that can not be crafted alone. Instead magic is used to help light the pillowing up from the inside out. This rare feature is almost never seen, but when it is it's normally features in the Eyes or markings on the pillowing.
	Multiple Eyes	Often never seen, this is where a pillowing has more than 2 functional eyes on it's head or body. There is no specific function other than cosmetic appeal for certain owners.

Mouths

The pillowing is supposed to be a source of comfort. Originally they were crafted purely without teeth for softest mouths. However in later designs, pillowings showing teeth had become quite popular for both aesthetic and utility. The fear your pillowing would bite you would never be present so most owners don't think twice about getting stylish smiles for their pillowings.

Pillowing Mouth

Image	Mouth Type	Description
Common Mouths
	Common Mouth	The average pillowing does not have teeth or a tongue. Pillowing are usually comfort animals, live strictly indoors, animated stuffed animals. They do not eat and have no need to chew. They were first designed with puppet like mouths and some owners prefer this style.
	Standard Tongue	Pillowing have no need for tongues other than to act more animal like by licking their owners or themselves. There is no saliva produced in their mouths so it's just like having a soft piece of fabric lapping at you.
Uncommon Mouths
	Slim Tongue	Thinner tongues aren't as common as the round standard but there for cosmetic purposes.
Rare Mouths
	Teeth	Some people like to get teeth customs with their pillowing. Teeth can be a danger to the pillowing and to other pillowing in the house. They have a chance at tearing their own fabric bodies if they're not careful which is why most people opt out of teeth. Because teeth are custom added, they can be any color.
Very Rare Mouths
	Forked Tongue	Purely cosmetic for stylized pillowing. Has no specific useful function.
	Fangs	This is very rare, but some people will actually keep a territorial pillowing in their home or office armed with claws and teeth like a security dog. If trained right, pillowing make very excellent guard companions of you and your home. They still pose a big threat to themselves and especially other pillowings.
Special Mouths
	Metal Mouth	This is an extremely unusual and dangerous trait for pillowings to have. You normally never would see a pillowing outfitted with these chompers except for gladiators or pit foxes.
	Saberteeth	Another very dangerous trait, these teeth are extremely unpractical for pillowings to use and play in. But still owners like the looks this feature gives their pillowing. Tusks are another feature under the Saber Teeth that are odd and usually dangerous for pillowing to have.
	Shark Teeth	These extremely dangerous teeth were made strictly for pillowings to harm others. To harm people or other pillowing. There are dangerous kinds of people who will craft pillowings strictly for fighting purposes and this is a favorite trait among them. Shark teeth usually displayed in a single row, but owners have been known to go above and beyond and give their pillowings the full shark aesthetic of few rows of sharp edged teeth.

Paws

Pillowings are ultimately and usually soft and light. You can normally hear them shuffling when they are making their way to you but some pillowings are just exceptionally skilled at being quiet for their masters sake. While most seek out the comfort those soft paws can bring, others like to take the time to customize them and outfit them with the latest and brightest claws available for either aesthetic purposes to useful ones...

Pillowing Eyes

Image	Eye Type	Description
Common Paws
	Standard Paw	When being sewn together the paws are normally just flat standard fabric used. This is the cheapest option for most people. Much like teeth, pillowing normally do not have any claws as it can be a danger to themselves and other pillowings. Because they have no need to claw or climb, there really isn't a reason they need them.
	Mitten Paw	Same basic functions as standard paws, they are just missing the individual toes to give the pillowing's feet a mitten like appearance.
	Dew Toe	It's a personal material choice if you would like your pillowing outfitted with dew toes or thumbs as most owners refer to them as. Some pillowings can adapt extremely well and almost have as much range as human hands when handling objects for their owners. This makes them a great choice for therapy and special aid pillowings.
	Padding Paw	Some people like to get a little extra protect for their pillowing's feet and have extra fabric or padding sewn onto their paws so they don't wear out as fast.
Uncommon Paws
	Paw Pads	A lot of people really like to keep them closer to actual animals and will order them with animal like paw pads.
	Shaped Paw Pads	Along with the animal paw fad, more cutesy and shaped patterns like hearts, stars, or whatever shapes you can think of. This holds the same rarity and upkeep as the regular animal paw pads.
Rare Paws
	Nails	Some people still like to get pillowings with claws, mostly so they can accessorize them and paint them different colors. They have to be careful to keep them filed and dull so their pillowing will not accidentally scratch itself and tear the fabric or hurt other pillowings when they play.
Very Rare Paws
	Claws	Like the fangs, claws on pillowing are extremely rare and really only ever used on guard pillowings. A means to protect their territory from other pillowing, animals, or even people. When trained right, these pillowings can viciously guard anything.
	Retractable Claws	This is extremely rare but a great feature for those who have the extra spending money. For people who want claws but not all the time can safely have their pillowing tuck them away into their paws until it's time to paint them or leave them to guard the house.
Special Paws
	Raptor Dew Claws	Highly inconvenient and actually rather dangerous to have on your regular house hold pillowing. Raptor dew claws are usually outfitted on gladiator and pit fox pillowings only. Though you might find the odd pillowing here and there with purely cosmetic claws.
	Multiple Limbs	This is highly unusual for pillowing to have more than the standard 4 limbs. It's even common to see pillowings with less than 4 limbs after patch jobs. There would be no purpose beyond aesthetic appeals for more than 4 limbs.

Tails

With or Without a tail, a "knot" must always be present on the rear end of a Pillowing. This is very important and what holds them together. Pillowing have full range of motions with their tails. They normally use them for play and self defense even if they have teeth or claws. They just prefer to use their tails if they have them. Pillow cases on the tail can be open for the pillow to peek out or completely sealed. This is an option for all pillowing owners.

Pillowing Eyes

Image	Eye Type	Description
Common Tails
	Standard Open Case Tail	The generic pillowing tail, think your average bed pillow as a tail for a size comparison. They can be enclosed in a case or left open to see the pillow peeking out.
	Standard Closed Case Tail	The generic pillowing tail, think your average bed pillow as a tail for a size comparison. They can be enclosed in a case or left open to see the pillow peeking out.
	Layered Pillow Case Tail	A small decorative twist lots of owners like to do to customize their pillowings. Recently it has been quite the popular fad since it takes very little effort to install.
Uncommon Tails
	Short Length	Not everyone likes their pillowing's tail dragging along the ground. Especially if they travel or go outdoors. This perky tail is the perfect way to help keep them cleaner a little longer.
	Slim Weight	Pillowing with thinner tails have an easier time getting around the house quietly. They can sneak, almost slither, through the rooms without being noticed. They seem to have a lot more control over their tails than the others.
Rare Tails
	Long Length	Some people like to have those longer body like pillows, even pillowing do too! These make for excellent sleep aids for people and pillowing alike.
	Wide Weight	Pillowings can come with an over stuffed tail that is very large compared to their size. Sometimes it can even be the same size or bigger than the pillowing itself! This makes it harder for the pillowing to get around though having to drag around their tails. They still have motion control over their tail but are slow and clumsy with them. They do however love to sleep on top of their own tails though! Other pillowing even seem to flock towards them into a pillowing pile for nap time.
Very Rare Tails
	Bob Tail	Like the short ears, a lot of people like to match the tails. They can some in shapes like squares, circles, or just a twisted knot of a pillow that stands upright from the base knot. This is very rare since pillowing like to have access to their tails for sleeping, comfort, and defence. Because they are so short they don't get that.
	Empty Pillow Case Tail	Sometimes a pillowing's tail becomes damaged and needs to be replaced. However once removed some owners seem to actually like the appearance of the empty case pillowing tail. Some even order their pillowings without the pillow tail now to get the drapery and flowing look.
	Knot Bow and Ribbons	Owners love to give their pillowings a cute flare here and there. One of the popular ones is to stylize the knot of the tail in the fashion of a bow. Some owners like to add just a bit more for the full bow-like effect and have draping ribbons down from the knot. However some owners just opt out of the ribbons so they have less maintenance.
	Knot Only	Very very rare, most people never have a pillowless tailed pillowing. For most people it really defeats the purpose. Sometimes accidents happen and a pillow loses it's tail. If the ownes can't afford to get it fixed or simply choose not too, that pillowing has to work harder to make adjustments.
	Shaped Tail	Once in a rare while some owners will get their own custom made pillowing where it's tail will be a sewn plush of a specific object. It could be a heart, the moon, or even a dolphins tail! These are all classified as very rare since they are all custom made by artisans. Pillowings have less motion control over their shape tails dew to the in place stitching that holds their shapes. But still they can look mighty pleased wagging them!
Special Tails
	Multiple Knotted Tails	This is rarely done, normally the pillows are too stuffed or too short for it. But those with looser and longer casing can manage it. It is not recommended to add extra knots to your pillowing's tail as it creates harder surfaces when they playfully hit you or other pillowings. It can leave a bit of a bruise.
	Multiple Tails	Occasionally pillowings will be made with more than one tail. This does not change the function of the tails, pillowings will still have complete mobility over all of their tails. They are still used in play, defense, and comfort.

Body Sizes

There will be different art bases for each "size" of pillowing. So when you adopt a pillowing depending on it's base art you can tell if it's a Kit, Standard, or Large.

Pillowing Eyes

Image	Eye Type	Description
Common Sizes
	Standard	Most common of all pillowing, the rough size of a small-medium dog, even an actual fox! These are the perfect at home companions and are often used for sleep aids.
Uncommon Sizes
Rare Sizes
	Kit Size	This is considered the toy version of the pillowing species. They are great for on-the-go owners who need some comfort as they travel. They make great starter pets for children too. It's about the same size as a small cat though it varies per design.
Very Rare Sizes
	Large Size	The most expensive of pillowing seeing how they take a lot of material to make. These pillowing can get as big as wolves. An adult human could even ride one for a short period if they wanted too. These pillowing are recommended for large open homes only because they tend to bump into things and knock a lot of stuff over. Generally pillowings under 6th at ear height are considered large sizes.
Special Sizes
	Jumbo Size	Once a pillowing exceeds 6ft at the ear height it is considered jumbo sized. Not recommended for long term ownership as they tend to be very hard to keep in the home or shop with their clumsy nature.

Size Comparisons

Pillowings can really come in all shapes and sizes. There is no specific reasoning for the fox like face or anatomy when the enchantments used on these toys really could be used on nearly any other object as well. Pillowings just have grown and adopted to this sleek look that does appeal to most people. However you will still find some extremely stylized pillowings that do exist. Please feel free to have fun exploring different weights and body types so long as you write clearly what size your pillowing is. There is a lot to explore and we implore you to indulge!

Body Modifications

Pillowing Body Mods

Image	Mod Type	Description
Common Body Mods
	Missing Limbs	This is a very common occurrence with those rascally pillowings. They easily damage their soft fabric bodies and owners will often have repair sewing kits at home for quick patch jobs until they can get their pillowing tailored again. Pillowings missing entire limbs causes them no pain and doesn't really seem to hinder them from getting around. They are very quick to adapt.
	Pockets and Pouches	???
Uncommon Body Mods
	Whiskers	Some owners just love the animal likeness of their pillowings having whiskers. They don't necessarily aid the pillowings in any way, however they do not seem to like it if you pull on them.
	Extra Fabric Flaps	A lot of beginner artisans will try the more simple customization routes to specialize a pillowing. A more common theme they seem to us is flaps or pieces of fabric to give the pillowing some more texture to it's body. You often will see it with bird-like themes.
Rare Body Mods
	Wheels	???
Very Rare Body Mods
	Hair	???
	Shaped Limbs	Some owners want to go the whole way when it comes to their aesthetics and design dreams. You will have to find a talented artisan who can plan ahead for the pillowing's movement once it's brought to life, but owners who have custom dreams tend to be relentless! Shapes come in all sorts of themes, hooves, flippers, even faux-plush bones!
Special Body Mods
	Empty Bag Body	Extremely rare to see owners make their pillowings in actual functional accessories. But some pillowings have been outfitted to be literally walking keepsake bags or even have connectable straps that hoist them over their owner's shoulder much like a messenger bag or purse.
	Extra Limbs	This is highly unusual for pillowing to have more than the standard 4 limbs. It's even common to see pillowings with less than 4 limbs after patch jobs. There would be no purpose beyond aesthetic appeals for more than 4 limbs.
