Hello everyone, Happy New Year! 

We hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season. Here are a few updates on the project as well as a really cool upcoming project!

Updates have already been sent out. If you haven't already, please check your inboxes and fill out the surveys.

We haven't sent anything out for production yet. During December, our cat Banjo passed away, and we haven't gotten around to getting the work done. We will be sending out the designs this week in order to get a quote ASAP and get the ball rolling again. We'll send you pictures once we have something new to show you.

Here are the 5 alternate colorways of the Night Parade enamel pins! They're available as stretch goal add-ons in the add-ons section of the survey. There are two options for purchase: you can add each one individually or you can purchase the whole set at a discount. We need at least 10 pins of each design purchased in order to produce them, and we'll do an extremely limited run of these, so if that's something you're interested in, please back it!

We've currently unlocked all of them except for the Gourd Goblin. We only need 5 more to reach the goal!

Here are the finalized designs for the sticker sheets! We completely forgot to update it during the campaign, sorry about that 😅 We also ordered the sticker sheets and ended up making them 5x7 instead of 4x6, so you'll have slightly bigger stickers of the Hidden Critters in your package!

We got a new project launching for Pintopia 2026! These lil' rascals will be 3 inches tall with an embroidered strap and magnetic wings, so they can hold on to each other! We'll be designing some acrylic, magnetic accessories for each lil' guy, but you'll have to check out the project on launch to see all of them 👀

Each Bitty Basilisk has their own personalities and traits! Here's a rundown of each:

We'll have a Patreon exclusive pledge level, so if you want to adopt a Crispy Bitty, 

We have a TON of incentives for this project! We're sending out exclusive stickers for Early Birds and Returning Backers. We're also giving away a free phone wallpaper for Pre-Launch followers (so go give it a follow right now!) and a mystery Big Bad Basilisk Enamel Pin for Pre-Launch Reservations: if you reserve your pledge for $2, you get a free mystery pin!

We've also teamed up for a second time with Pin & Tonic! If you pledge for both the Bitty Basilisk Plush Pendants and the Anodised Skies project, you'll get a brand-new FREE PIN from EACH creator!

Go check both projects out!

Last but not least, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of you. Your support this past year has meant the world to us, and we feel so lucky that we get to do what we love thanks to all the love you've given us and our silly chickens and dragons. This year is going to be a big one, full of lots of new and exciting projects! This one's just the tip of the iceberg, and we can't wait to keep sharing our passion with you guys!

Here's to an amazing 2026! Cheers!

Hello everyone!

BackerKit will soon send us the project funds, so we'll be able to send out surveys and start the production process. However, there are currently over $900 of failed payments from different backers. 

Please verify your emails to check if there has been an issue with your payment method for your pledge. The payment collection period for BackerKit will soon end, and I don't want any of you to miss out on the BackerKit exclusives. 

Also, quick reminder about our next two BackerKit projects! Please go and give them a follow so we can have a strong start once they launch ✨

Once again, thanks for being a part of our Hidden Critter world!

Hello everyone!

I'm currently working on the Pledge Manager and there's an option for Stretch Goals! We didn't reach the different colorways for the original 5 pins BUT we can fund them through this feature.

Speaking of which, here are the new colorways for the pins. They'll be made in rainbow plating and will be limited to this project, so they'll be super exclusive!

We have TWO new projects coming up in BackerKit! We got accepted to BackerKit's new Holiday Market, where we'll be offering ready to ship bundles of chicken and dragon goodies at a discount for the Holidays. Go and check it out by tapping on the image below!

We also have our Pintopia project coming up in January: the Bitty Basilisk Plush Pendants! We have new manu pics that we will be sharing soon, so please give the project a follow by tapping the image below.

Some people have let us know that they would rather have the cross-collab designs as stickers instead of keychains. Would you rather have the two designs as 2 inch keychains or 3 inch stickers? There's a poll attached so you can let us know.

That's all for now! Hope you have a great rest of your week!

Good morning! 

The project is finished and wow, it went amazing! We started Dragon Coop in 2019 with mostly fanart, but with each passing year we kept focusing more and more on what we're truly passionate about: fantastical creatures and silly chickens! Seeing how well our Hidden Critters did in this pin project is truly validating, and it motivates us to keep pursuing and working on our biggest ongoing passion project, The Hidden Critter Club. 

BackerKit will start to process payments, so please verify your payment methods to avoid any delays. We'll be sending out surveys in around two weeks time to collect shipping information and rewards selection, so keep an eye on your inboxes.

If you forgot to add something from the project, we'll have add-ons available with the pledge manager!

We'll keep you up to speed with any changes that might happen and any samples the manufacturer sends, as well as where we are in the production and fulfillment process.

This time it will be a plush pendant collection and enamel pins, go and give it some love~
On that note, if you haven't yet, give us a follow here in BackerKit! That way you'll be the first to know whenever we launch a new project (of which there will be many 🔥).

If you want to see more Critters like the ones in this project, consider joining the Hidden Critter Club. Every month we discover new creatures and dive deep into the lore of what makes them magical. This month we'll be featuring a Lyndwurm that steals clothing to fluff up their lairs.
The Hidden Critter Club is the best way to directly support us, and your support helps us keep working on this full time. Tap here to join.

We can't say this enough, thank you for your support.

Hi everyone! There's less than 6 hours left on the project, so if you've been eyeing it, now's the time to pledge ✨

Thanks so much to all of you who made this project happen. We're very happy and excited to keep making more creatures for you to discover.

Now, on to some updates:

We managed to unlock the Starkeeper pin! It's available as a pledge option as well as an add-on. You'll be able to add it to your package with the pledge manager as well once the campaign ends.

With our new Pintopia Project coming up, we want to know your opinion on what kind of pins would you like to see from us in the future. Pintopia will feature the Bitty Basilisk as plush pendants (you can follow the project HERE), but we also want to make some enamel pins to go with the plushies. We're debating whether to make small and mini pins or larger jumbo pins. The poll is attached to this update, so please go and vote 🌟

The project will end very soon and BackerKit will start to process payments, so please verify your payment methods to avoid any delays. We'll be sending out surveys in around two weeks time to collect shipping information and rewards selection, so keep an eye on your inboxes.

We'll update you guys with any changes that might happen and any samples the manufacturer sends, as well as where we are in the production and fulfillment process.

Once again, thanks for making this project happen, we're super grateful ❤️
