Sodalizards. Feel free to make one, made them on a lark some days ago. ;U!
----------------------
Q'nA!

Q: Are we allowed to make multiple sodalizards? Is there a limit?
A: Make as many as you want! c:

Q: Do we need to ask permission to make one?
A: Nope, but of course i'd love to see any sodalizards you make.

Q: Can we make sodalizards with rare traits?
A: Sure! The rarity is more a guide on how common something actually is. Sodalizards with magma/liquid hydrogen are probably not allowed into normal society (or even among other sodalizards) since their presence is an environmental hazard.

Q: (direct quote from comment) "Do they live in a specific world or universe? How intelligent are they? Can they communicate verbally, with words or sounds? Can they have jobs? Are they considered animals or beings by society? What is the smallest they can be (as small as a blade of grass, the size of an amoeba, etc.)?"
A: Hmm, I don't have a world planned out yet - it appears to be a vaguely 'normal' world.

- They are on par with humans. My friend has been planning on making one who works at an aquarium so they're likely able to communicate and have jobs in some fashion. (might need to be registered on what kind of liquid they produce so ones with dangerous liquids aren't working in just any odd job)
 - Their status in society... I haven't decided whether they're just normal creatures or maybe visitors from another world. In the first case they'd be considered broadly equal to humans in the rights department (allowing differences for speciesism etc, whatever is interesting) and in the second case they'd probably be considered members of a separate country -> kind of cautiously (can't have overt rudeness since might get into trouble)
- I think the smallest they can be is... about the size of a cat?

----------------------
NOTE:
I've forgotten to add the "extra fluff" type stuff on the ref.
Feel free to add something like antennas or extra flaps on the arms or nudibranch nubs or whatever if they fit a theme you're going for. Please consider these traits Rare. (-> use your own judgement on making the design reasonable.)

Absolutely forbidden-no-go-neverplx traits:
I'd like you to avoid adding genitalia of any kind.
Also straight-up wings are probably out. Arms can be modified to have slightly wing-like qualities (like having webbing between the fingers, elongated fingers, flaps that look like feathers...) but probably every arm will have the same kind of modifications.
Avoid legitimate feathers if you can.
