I'm sick rn so here's some fun facts about fauns and DerCo industries that I either forgot to add to a whole post or need to remember for a more detailed post (a sneak peek if you will):

DerCo industries (the parent company for DerCo and NuaLo) was founded in Ireland, they started selling livestock feeds then branched out to veterinary with NuaLo, then they got into human medicine

Bloodletters where the first type of faun to ever exist, and where never announced to the public. Everyone working with any fauns for the company had to sign a NDA up until the great lawsuit (more on this later)

It was suggested to them to use the fast regenerating properties of the bloodletter to create "the perfect livestock"

So yeah all fauns are part human, spooky

Once lab grown and artificial meat substitutes started taking off (but they were still very expensive at this time) DerCo released their own lab grown meat (*wink wink). They became the top of the market very quickly because they were the only ones to get the taste,smell, texture and different cuts of meat to be nearly identical to the real deal

Swinelike meat tastes like something between lamb,pork and turkey. Heatherhorn meat tastes like a mix of deer, horse and mutton with a slight burnt tire aftertaste. Heatherhorn meat is typically used in pet food and never fed to humans.

DerCo industries also had to genetically modify microbes to live in the fauns gut to digest what they eat

Feral fauns mutate and evolve much faster than other animals because all members of any licenced breed are genetically the same individual, turbo incest up to the nines

Diggerhorns have extra cartilage between their joints to absorb shock when they jump over tall things

Diggerhorns coats come in two colours, chocolate (which is a deep rich brown) and silver (a mousey greyish brown)

The most common colourd spots you see on a painted urban are yellow, white and red. This is so they blend in with road signs

Patchwork bantams come in three styles, classic(every body part is a different colour), clown(mostly sticking to colours like red,blue and yellow with face markings usually around the eyes, usually piebald) and scene(black markings that clash with very saturated coats, can have multicoloured hair and/or raccoon stripes in it, smokey eyes like other feral breeds, unlike the other two styles of PB's who have black eyeliner)

Patchwork bantams are usually called sirens, not only because they're pretty and can mimic human speech and words (not kidding about that last one, they will deadass come up to you and say "hello", not in the parrot way either they literally sound identical to humans. One reblog=one faun we will teach to say fuck), but also because they can mimic the noises of cars. Diggerhorns can also do this to communicate with other groups that are far away, but these fuckers will stand directly on people's windowsills on the 7th floor at five in the morning on a Saturday so of course they'd be know for that.

Diggerhorns like in groups of 20 at most

More about the great lawsuit! The great lawsuit happened when the EU sued DerCo industries due to the injuries and illnesses that fauns caused

DerCo industries won the case because they changed the legal classification of fauns from lab equipment to actual animals, making them loose the genetic patent in the process

Before they lost legal rights to fauns, DerCo industries would take down any post whatsoever showing or mentioning fauns. The streets would be absolutely infested with ferals to the point that people couldn't leave their homes without being attacked or worse! And they couldn't post about it!

The most information people got was a 30 second segment on RTE telling them to call a number about "strange occurrences" every day

Then people started noticing the DerCo branding on the vans and PPE of the people coming to round them up and take them away...then the videos that where getting copyright claimed by "DerCo industries and working partners" left and right...

People then started wrangling ferals to keep to make breeds of their own independent of DerCo (last post shows one of these off)

After the lawsuit DerCo made the "primary palette collection" for breeders. They add no genes but colour to the fauns bloodline. Have a doe what has the genes for a brindle coat but doesn't show up because the brindle colour is the same as the undercolor? This is where the primaries come in

Fauns are all hermaphrodites, but different traits can show if they get pregnant, or they get another faun pregnant. In breeding terms, a faun that usually is the one who gets pregnant is called a fíon(pronounced "feen"), and a faun that usually gets another faun pregnant is called a beoir(pronounced "bee-ore")

Ferals are very friendly with waste collectors, janitors and homeless people. This is because they're more likely to be fed by them

Feral fauns (especially painted urbans) are instinctually aggressive to neon reflective surfaces and people wearing PPE. Because these are colours often worn by people trying to harm them such as DerCo faun wranglers and the police

They're able to distinguish the make, model, paint job and sometimes licence plates of cars. If they see a police car they immediately tear it apart along with the people in it

Feral breeds are technically considered an intelligent species because they can start and use fire and use tools (like emotional manipulation in the case of sirens)

Many police forces started using robotics dogs to try to heard the thousands of ferals but you can guess how that turned out

When diggerhorns are threatened their growl sounds like the noise a lawn mower makes

Unlike other feral breeds of faun, feral crosses are very timid

Fauns carry an insane amount of internal and external parasites

Diggerhorns in the UK and Ireland have started taking the ecological neice of wolves by hunting deer, getting their numbers back to stable levels

Most ferals hate the texture of long grass (except diggerhorns) so lawn mowing has been banned in some places

Diggerhorns get most of their fibre intake by eating wooden structures like fences and picnic tables

Fauns will eat each others brush hair when it gets too long

There's a group of fauns that lives in the great Pacific garbage patch made up of millions of individuals. They're literally just all in the fucking ocean eating plastic and dead seagulls

I'll probably add more to this when I feel like it but yeah, there's a bunch of fun facts

I made this animation a year ago but I'm still very happy with it so I'm gonna give it some new life! I'd love to remake this sometime, but that's gonna be a far away future project I think.

DerCo advertisement from some type of agriculture conference

[image description: green banner at the top of the image reads in yellow letters: hybrid vigor, then in smaller letters underneath: curlcoat cross. to the right, a bulletin list in green font: calmer temperment, more independent, hardier and less susceptible to spillout, excellent grazers. to the left a picture of a single curlcoat faun wearing a halter and leash. in the bottom right the DerCo logo. end of description]

what about zim and dib listening to music together? (not requesting it in a shippy way 😭 zad/r is the bane of my existence)

Bro I cannot tell if this is funny or not but I tried !!!!!!
