When I was at work yesterday I heard scratching and managed to get a picture of this guy skittering away, it looks like a Horror bitty I think? Anybody know what to do if I see the little guy again?
*slides in* Hey guys. I’ve stopped being dead to bring you something no one wanted. Bitty Canine. But it’s the only project that I actually managed to finish instead of getting bored and dropping. You gotta bear with me for a bit. I haven’t been able to really draw anything I liked since I dropped off the face of the planet
Holy shit that got way longer than I meant it to. Whoops. Under a read more. Also as a general warning, this is as wall of texty as normal. Since I write with the grace of a child.
Alrighty. So this is the Canine bitty. He stands at 3 feet tall. He really doesn’t count as a bitty and a lot of places don’t sell him anymore. Thus Canine bitties are incredibly rare. There are two versions. Only way to tell the difference is if his cloak has green in it.
The one without green is an anxious mess that worries the second you leave his sight. He’s incredibly high maintenance. Picky about what he eats, and just what he does in general. He’s better suited for someone who has a lot of time and patience. He’s a good fit for couples, as he doesn’t get jealous. Plus the more people to love him, the better to him. High energy pets, children, and Bitties are definitely a no go. He needs a calm environment. You can still have all of the above, they just need to be calm around him. You really don’t want to startle or horribly upset a Canine bitty. More on that later. He can do everything he needs to himself. But will often go to you because he loves the attention. He’s a bit of a clean freak, so your house will be constantly cleaned. If you have pets, there’s a good chance you’re coming home to them shaved. Why wait for them to get everything dirty with their hair, when you can just be rid of the problem. He’s pretty skittish. Won’t stay out to greet guests, unless he’s meet them a few times. If you’re not home, he’ll stick to himself. Probably crying waiting for you to come home. Other times he’ll clean or if he’s really attached to you, he’ll show up where ever you are. If you want to ensure the latter not happening, you have to get a parental bitty. They’ll make sure he stays busy and doesn’t show up at your job. He won’t really take care of others, but he won’t hurt them either. He’ll make sure you’re okay, but won’t really go out of his way to ensure you’re doing everything you should be.
The one with green is a polar opposite to greenless. He is rather hostile. A lot closer to his normal self. This Canine is for someone who has a lot of patience and can withstand bites and cuts. He’s resistant to change and takes a while to warm up to his new owner. He will be all sorts of growly when first meeting them, trying to scare them off. He likes it at the shelter, it’s all he knows. He’s not going to want to leave it easily. He will not allow you to do anything for him when first meeting, it’ll take a good half year before he’ll allow you to do things for him. So food time is a mess. He won’t tell you what he wants, so he’ll raid your kitchen. If the kind of meat isn’t there that he wants, he’ll throw a fit and wreck your kitchen. Each Canine varies on what he’ll eat, so you can’t just look it up. Plus not a lot of people have owned Canines that actually cared for them, more on that later. Best to just get everything see what he’ll eat, what ever he doesn’t eat, I’m sure someone else will eat. It’s very easy to break his trust, so always do as you say you will when it comes to him. Unlike greenless, he’s incredibly jealous. Won’t stand for your attention being divided to another human or normal monster. He holds a lot of power, so do be careful and don’t push your luck. He can fuck you up if he’s mad enough. Can’t kill you, but can bust your nose and limbs. How lovely. He can stand other Bitties, if they’ll bow out of his way when he wants attention that is. Doesn’t play well with other aggressive Bitties. He will always win the fight. So just stick to nicer Bitties if you want to keep them alive. Do stay away from Bitties that are whiners or need a lot attention. Canine will annihilate them within seconds of meeting them. Children and pets are probably not a great idea. He won’t kill the kids, but he won’t hesitate to bite or scratch them. Pets he will hurt, or possibly kill. When he finally gets attached, he’ll be a little clingier. Wanting to be by you when you’re home, not afraid to shove anyone else out of his way. When you’re gone he’ll probably just go for walks and attack local animals. Getting a Cherryboy will be good to keep Canine from wondering. Will also help tame him when he gets too aggressive. A gentle rib cracking kick from Cherry will get Canine to back off. cherryboy is literally less than half canines height so this amuses me Unlike greenless, he’ll actually make sure you’re okay and doing what you need to. Even when first meeting him, he’ll watch what you do. So if one morning you don’t take your meds, he’ll gruffly remind you.
Canines heats aren’t that bad. He does get a little bigger, only standing at seven feet when in heat. Yeah, only a little bigger. Depending on type and attachment will change how his heat is. Greenless is a total sub and wants you to fuck him no matter on attachment level. Green not so much. He’s a full on dom. When he doesn’t trust you, he’ll probably hole up in your attach or shed. When he trusts you, he’ll hole up under your bed. If he loves you, then he’ll pin you and fuck you hard. Because he can do that now and he’s going to do it every chance he gets. Luckily they only last a few days, not a whole month. Also doesn’t really change his aggression level. He just wants to smash.
There’s a good reason a lot of places stopped creating (breeding? how the fuck does this work??) Canines. They’re heavily sought after for their willingness to do anything for their owner. Which includes winning in fighting rings. Canines when they set their minds to something, completely shut everything out. They hone their skills as a hunter and take out what or who ever was placed in front of them. Their size often gives them huge advantages. Other owners just piss their Canine off. Don’t feed him, throw him around. Really get the rage building then toss him in. Why get him to like him when getting him to hate you and still do what you want is so much easier. As long as he takes down what ever’s in front of him that’s all that matters. People often pit large animals, mostly large dogs, against their Canine just to rake in money. Knowing full well that the animal would not be the one walking away. The only one a Canine can’t take out is a Cherryboy, but no one can touch Cherryboy even in a regular universe. So it’s no different here. Even greenless Canines can win a fight, but it takes a bit of actual care from the owner for that. Which is fucked up. Bitty shop owners were horrified to learn where most Canines ended up. So they stopped selling them horrified of them being bought just to be shoved into squalor. So very few still sell them. A few have been rescued from fighting rings, but generally are pretty depressed or just straight hostile. They could warm to you, but that’d take years. When Canines form bonds, they’re deep strong and hard to forget. Even if they were disgusting and harmful to them.
Which reminds me. Do not get a Ripperboy bitty when housing any Canine bitty. Ripperboy is not kind to his brother in the normal universe, Bittyverse is less kind. Every Canine is created with the memories of how shitty Ripperboy is. He’ll push to get Canine to kill himself. Telling him how disgusting and problematic he is. Do everything to get rid of Canine. Depending on which it is, will change how they react. Greenless Canine will probably do it. His brothers words hurt. Green Canine is just going to rip Ripperboy apart. He’s had enough of the abuse. But killing him didn’t bring the satisfaction he thought it would. Leaving him kinda empty and a little colder towards you.
General notes
- The inside of his cloak looks like shitty nebula's. They shift and move, swirling and sparkling. Speaking of his cloak.
- For the love of the stars do not touch Canines cloak without asking. If you see it sitting out, leave it. He will know you touched it and will be royally pissed. Like bust your nose pissed. He will magically grab your hair and smash your face into the nearest surface. It’s going to hurt. This goes for both variations of Canine. Not even shop owners know why Canine is so protective of it. Some say touching the inside will bring you where it shows you, space. Others say it leads to the void they hear their Bitties talk about. Some say it’s where he stores the things he deeply cares for and doesn’t want anyone else to touch. A kind of sub space compartment if you will. No one really knows, and he’s not sharing his knowledge on it.
- Upsetting a Canine could result in you missing a limb. If he gets mad enough he will attack you if you get too close. He won’t hold back when furious. Not afraid to bite even if he’s not that mad. His temper tantrums could easily cost you a lot of money on new furniture and hospital bills. If you startle him, he might attempt to bite you. Just as a fear reflex.
- Canines left hand is robotic. It’s not known why, but the creation process messed up and left it missing. So the shop owners just created little robotic hands for them. Having an Beastswap Undyne Bitty is a good idea. She’ll be able to keep maintenance up on the hand. Plus Canine just likes having her around.
- Canines are just missing a spinal piece. Why? I don’t know. Because they can. its because thats just how i drew him at first and decided fuck it
Okay so good news and bad news about the bitty I keep seeing at work,
The good news is I saw the little guy again when I was putting food down and I got very close this time!
He still looked kinda wary but he didn't run or anything so I thought maybe he was coming around to me. I also was putting down the food anyway so I figured I'd offer him some directly.
The bad news is I guess that wasn't the right idea...
I don't know if this was because he's not friendly or maybe he just got scared or something, but he took the food and bolted after he bit me. I hope I didn't scare him off trying that, I'll let you guys know if I see him again (and if I turn into a were-bitty lol)
So it was pretty busy at work the last couple days with delivery and everything so I didn't expect to see the horror bitty anywhere, but when I went out back to get something I saw this
Which... is a different guy, right??
Anyway it seemed like this one was stuck in this plastic so I held the bag open so he could get out (even though he really didn't like me coming over) and he bolted off once he was out.
I assumed he was gone but when I looked back down the hallway he was just kinda watching me
(Zoomed in to make it a lil bit easier to see)
And the one I'm used to seeing was there too!! So... I guess there's two of them now? Or at least this is my first time seeing this little black and white guy, are there cross bitties? That's all I can think of that he looks like. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled and leave out twice as much food now.
Sorry it's been so long since I updated you guys, work has been really busy and I guess these two have gotten better about staying out of sight. Or out of my sight at least, maybe I should ask my coworkers if they've seen anything? Although, I dunno if they'd be happy with these little guys running loose around here so maybe it's best if I don't...
Anyway, the only one I've been seeing kind of reliably is the horror bitty, who comes and sits across from me when I have my lunch to eat the food I left out. I still try not to say anything cause I don't want to frighten him.
Usually he's the only one I see, but then one day I spotted the little cross bitty peeking around a corner at me! I felt bad cause I was almost finished my lunch so I didn't have much to offer him, but I held out some of my chocolate bar for him anyway in case he was hungry. Well!! Apparently he was!
He came right up to me this time! Granted, he took a bite of the end of it and immediately ran off again, but that's a start right? He's definitely a lot more skittish than the horror one, but I did manage to feed him a couple more times and he seems to stay a little longer before he runs off.
I don't know if he has a particular thing for chocolate or if he's just excited about food because the horror one doesn't share lol
Speaking of the horror one!!
It took me a while to notice but, I guess he's been getting closer to me when we eat? He used to sit across the hall but now he's pretty much right next to me!
Maybe that's why the cross one feels more comfortable? I still don't want to do anything to spook him but he seems pretty chill, maybe if I'm lucky I can have 2 lunch buddies lol
