Welcome!
On this page you can find the link to the official Import Information Template and all needed informations to fill it out properly.
General rules
– Follow group rules for names and descriptions
– Do not add or remove a line unless you are specifically told to do so! (Example: even if your beast has no mutation, the Mutation line has to stay in the description)
– Remove all instructions in the () from the lines as you fill it out. Please be careful to only delete the () and the instructions within it and not the whole line!
– If your beast was born with a trait or if you want to apply items / traits / companions when submitting your design for approval, please add them in the correct lines
– Always double check the lineage
The template
As it is easier to copy and paste from a deviantArt sta.sh file and keep the formatting / images we left the template itself on the sta.sh while moving the explanations onto the website. Please read them carefully when filling out the template!
Disclaimer: It seems as if deviantArt currently removed the feature of adding descirptions on your sta.sh files, therefore the description has to be added differently. Click either on the big “Submit to deviantArt” button or the smaller, green “Submit” button in the upper right corner, it will send you to the official upload form in which you can add the description. Once done click on “Save & Exit” to save everything in your sta.sh, not “Submit Now”!
For an explanation including images to show the different buttons we described above, head over to our SOS Design Help Guide and check out the area “How to correctly upload your teast in deviantArt sta.sh”.
