Feralheart Sizes - In your opinions

[Sandfury]

So I have been looking at my characters, and I noticed my Rabbit OC is the same size of my wolf pup. Wolf pups are obviously taller than a rabbit. So now, I am making a chipmunk. Of course, I make it the smallest size possible, which was the same as my wolf pup and rabbit. No logic. xD Now I have to find this out..

What would be the heights of a wolf pup, rabbit, etc. in Feralheart? Or how tall would the smallest size be in real life? The largest size?
I have made a scale that fits my opinion.

I know for the pups, they are always the smallest size, or else you wouldn't be considered a pup. Rabbits usually range from smallest size to a little larger size. Chipmunks are really small, and I haven't seen one on FH before, so it would be right to make it the smallest size.. Since they're small.. Y'know.. xD

So. go ahead and fill me with your opinions on the right Feralheart sizes for species.

(Pictures of my characters, currently working on chipmunk ^_^)

I agree with the first chart.

It really depends on the age of your pup. If he/she is a newborn, then chances are that they are going to be smaller. However, if the are older, they will be larger than the smallest size.

Sizes bother me in FH. Like really. A song bird is going to be wayy smaller than a cat. Yes, I really saw this in Bonfire...

My best advice is to compare your animal to other animals. A cat is larger than a bunny, so don't make it the smallest size. A lion is larger than a wolf, so don't make your wolf giant.

That being said, other people will think differently. So do what you think is best, because, after all, it is YOUR character.

I have seen a really large Warrior Cat before.

You are right when you say it is my character, but this just bothers me a bit. A pup the same size as one of my mouse characters killed me. o_o That is why the scaling on the characters should make sense..

[liontamer1]

Right, so if I were you I would make the pup the size you would make a house cat, and keep your mouse's size.

I do agree that the overall sizes on Feralheart can be a bit bizarre. However, like Raid has stated before me, said characters are a particular member's own creation thus they can do whatever they'd like with em'.
Gettin' back to the topic at paw, the first chart is accurate for the most part. Though, one subtle flaw I hope I am permitted to point out is, if I remember correctly, humans are actually taller than big cats. Also, some mythical creatures such a faeries, unicorns, mermaids, etc. vary more so in height comparison rather than said creatures belonging in the tallest category. It all depends on what particular type of creature a member is to saunter around on.
All in all, the chart is indeed pretty useful and I agree with it's coordinates for the most part. Certainly a good thread ye've created here.

Thank you, Vespian. I do agree it does depend on what type of creature it is. I should've put "Results May Vary" in the chart. I also agree with the sizes of peoples characters being a bit crazy.

Thanks to you too, XxRaidWolfxX. I will put my pup the size of around a house cat, and if they say differently, then oh well. x3

My pleasure.

Pfft. Vespian...

Personally I believe the majority of the players do not have correct sizes for their characters they make since the game worlds and their objects aren't really fitting or giving a proper feel of there being a "right" size. Just look at things like trees, paths and walkways, plants even.

In some maps they're huge, and in others they do not even exists, the run animation and speeds also favour the biggest characters, because if you make anything smaller they appear to be sliding quickly over the ground. There's many different factors why over all users have a various different idea of what a proper size for their character is but also why they'd end up using a bigger character. With this said, I cannot blame anyone for having big characters.

Over all the chart provided makes sense, and I believe most people that would just plain out see this chart would also agree with it, but how their characters would look in the game probably wouldn't. If the things mentioned above would change for the differ I think we'd see a more reasonable general size for most characters. I think the majority of the "adult" characters no matter what type of feral they are, end up on the right side of the chart, while cubs or pups end up on the far left side.

I do believe things has gotten slightly better in the game over time, but it's still very common to see wolves, warriorcats, lions, dragons, all sharing the same size in the character creator. Which is a bit amusing if they'd all be in the same area at some point.

I'm a little confused as to where this discussion is going but in my opinion, the wolf pup sizes are 'correct' to me and the adult wolf is of course once again 'correct' in my point of view. However sometimes there is no easy way to see if the size you picked is right.

Sometimes you might find huge trees where an adult wolf character seems like a pup or even twisting it around to make the pup look like a giant eating up vegetation for fun xD

I might have to dig up that picture of my mouse character standing beside my tiny resized tree. The mouse's name is Mousezilla, and he only lives in a world I made for him out of tiny shrunken objects. I didn't know how much this has to do with your size chart (That's about how I think it should be.) I just find it hilarious.
