Wingbeans

The funny little griffin-y things colloquially known as wingbeans are flightless, roughly cat-sized, seemingly mammalian creatures with curious nature.

They resemble bipedal cats with chicken feet, but not quite. They are usually covered in soft, floofy fur, except for their hind legs and pawpads. They have soft snoot covering their mouths, which they will boop into things and people they like. Snoot bumps are their way of saying hello.

They have big, bright eyes with vertical slit pupils, and their nostrils are hidden beneath the floof of the snoot. They trust their sight and hearing more than their sense of smell.

They have short arms with three fingers, that are usually held tucked against their chest. The fingers usually have hidden cat claws.

Their wings are small and covered in soft, fluffy feathers, that are used mostly as display and as an additional pair of arms when climbing. The wings have five fingers in a fluff mitten, each having a paw pad, which is where the name wingbean comes from. In a wild type 'bean only the thumb of the wing has a retractable claw, like a cat, to use as climbing grip and for defence.

Their legs are usually hairless from ankle down, and have four toes, three pointing forwards and a small dewclaw pointing backwards. The foot claws are dull, and non-retractable.

They usually have long floofy tails, though there are short tailed and even bobtailed variations. It is also possible to have a tuft tipped tail.

Wingbeans are omnivorous, and as a species aren't picky about what they eat, though personal preferences vary wildly.

Wingbeans can have anywhere between 1 and 4 kittens (also called beanies or beanlings) at a time, most often 2. The kittens are born within a soft leathery egg shell, and they hatch usually within few hours after birth. They nurse their young like mammals.

Mom takes care of the kittens untill they're big enough to fend for themselves, though the offspring often stays nearby even as adults. The 'beans are social creatures who enjoy hanging out with friends, so big family groups (be they actually related or adopted) aren't unusual.

Wingbeans are considered fully grown at one year old, and in the wild their life span tends to be around 20 years, though domesticated 'beans can get a lot older.

Wild wingbeans come in a wide variety of markings and their colors cover all shades of browns and grays, but some have been bred to display brighter colors and strange markings, including unnatural ones. All coat types and lengths are possible; short haired, long haired, curly coated, maned, etc.

They have no apparent sexual dimorphism, and gender appears to be an optional feature to them.

Wingbeans are meant to be fun creatures, and to bring joy and fun.

Wingbeans are not meant for making money. They can be created freely, and they may be gifted, but they shall not be sold.

If you want to get rich by making weird little griffin-y things, make your own species.

Can I make my own wingbean?

Yes you can!

Can I make wingbean adoptables?

As long as you don't sell the designs for real life money. Giving them away for free, or trading them for virtual stuff such as virtual petsites' in-game currency, or things like art or poetry is fine.

Can I make wingbean NFTs/sell them for crypto stuff?

No.

Can I commission people to draw my wingbean?

Yes! Also, while wingbeans themselves aren't meant to be bought with money, do pay artists for the work they do. Artists need to eat too.

Can I commission an artist to design me a wingbean?

I'd say that still counts under the commission clause, so yes.

Can I use them in my D&D/TTRPG campaign?

Sounds fun, sure!

What if I want my wingbean to have rainbow colors?

Sure. Maybe your 'bean was bred by a wizard or something. Have fun!

Can my wingbean have raptor claws?

Sounds awesome. Go for it!

Can my wingbean have horns or other fancy details?

Did your 'bean wander in the way just as you were about to cast polymorph, didn't it?

You said they are flightless, but what if I want my wingbean to be able to fly?

Sounds like it was either born with bigger wings, or it can levitate. Either way sounds cool.

Can I make a wingbean of a big cat species?

That might stretch the definition of a wingbean, but if you feel like it's still wingbeany enough, then sure, go for it!

Do they have whiskers?

They can, if you want.

Are wingbean legs scaly like bird feet, or leathery?

Whichever you want. Both are good.

Are there any rare or limited features or markings?

The rarity of those depend entirely on what kinds of 'beans people create. If half the people making wingbeans decide to make theirs blue, then I guess blue isn't a rare color at that point, now is it?

But how will I know if my wingbean is special?

It's special because it's yours. No wingbean belongs behind paywalls.

What would a hairless wingbean look like?

Considerably less fluffy.

I really like these funky lil' wingbeans critters that it's a shame they do not exist in real life. Anyways here's my oc Vespera interacting with them a fellow "cat" with wings. 

The Wingbeans belong to @papermonkeyism

[im-flashtoo]

so i sketched one of @papermonkeyism's wingbeans

I like to think of their snoots (used in social behaviors, so probably very touch-sensitive) as being flexible like a horse's upper lip and used in much the same way as a quasi-manipulator, which would reveal the liddle teefs

deceptively long neck like a bird? yes

feet scales based on an armadillo because mammal.

I also drew it with a chicken butt to go with the chicken legs. this animal is shaped like a butternut squash and I love it.

they probably use their primaries to baffle prey after pouncing, like a hawk? gotta use those feathers for something

anyway paper I hope you like it :> thanks for the art inspiration

This one’s for @papermonkeyism !!

Reva the griffin gives Pulla the wingbean a biiiig hug!​

[loihtuja]

Here comes my AF revenge for Papermonkeyism. I had so much fun drawing their adorable Wingbean character, Pulla! I love this species and it's so unfair I can't adopt one in real life >U<✨

[wolvesandcomputers]

@papermonkeyism's wingbean creature - sparkle edition.

I drew it because I can, and I have exactly zero regrets.

[papermonkeyism]

I don't know why this one was so much extra hard to take good pictures of, but anyway!

Third wingbean enters the adoption table! This time a flame point with extra fire.

Same deal as before, just a different time of the day. Adoption fee is 30€ (~33usd) via Paypal invoice (bank transfer also okay for Finnish people). You can volunteer to adopt this 'bean by leaving a comment in this post with the word "Fiery" in it, and if by the end of tomorrow there are more than one candidate, I will use an RNG to randomly pick the lucky owner. The volunteering will be open untill 23:00/11pm Helsinki time (GMT +2) on 29th April 2023, after which I'll do the choosing, and the lucky owner will get the original watercolor card with the art.

Thank you!

[kogosama]

When all is not right in the world, it’s nice to see there are things that don’t rely on your money, clothes, disabilities, your politics, religion, your biology, and your social status… . There are a few meaningful things that still require hard work, patience, an individual or a team effort, and genuine attention. . Such things care nothing of who you know, who lies about you, number of likes, dislikes, or the size of your titties. I mean, I kinda do, but it’s definitely NOT a deal breaker. Lemme just say, the women I’ve seen working at some of these farmers markets… . …gotta be something in those veggies. 😳😳😳 . I had a lot more, but my camera caught “someone” having a great time with my tomatoes. 😵‍💫 . #gardening #imafarmer #homegrown #homegrownfood #zucchini #peppers #tomato #eggplant #okra #beans #cantaloupe #watermelon #wingbeans #strawberries #bewbs #herbs #islandboy #cleavageforsomepeppers #willtradeveggiesforbewbs #chicksdigveggies #wantsomeveggies #italktoplants #soon #ihaveastory #iggardenclub #gardeningissexy #gardeningmakespantiesdrop (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRAPMlKrRoYSidgDOMOu-JP7GL7lRuBBAqlh2Q0/?utm_medium=tumblr
