Starting a little early this year! And 10% off bead sale to start the festivities, only until July 1!

Time to get Retro!
You can now find Retro Packs in the cash shop.



For those who may have never participated in our special summer events before, the purpose of retro month is to allow users to "catch up" on items from retired treasure packs. This usually results in a vast increase in all monthly treasure items, so we have a follow-up event in August where users can "turn in" unwanted/excess treasures to get points that they can use to buy special items only available during turn-in month. There will be another news post explaining all about turn-in month!

When you open a retro pack you will randomly receive one monthly treasure pack from any previous month, from June 2009 to March 2015, OR a special event item (see below for a list)! Older treasures are a bit rarer to get than more recent ones, and Arabi, Haiti, Japan Relief, and Dragon packs are excluded, which preserves their value.


Special Event Items

In addition to monthly treasure packs, 2015 retro packs contain the following items. Please note these are not bonus items, they are regular items you can get when opening a retro pack:

Variation Addition, Variation Subtraction, Variation Color Change Potions



Pattern Addition, Pattern Subtraction, Pattern Color Change Potions, Base Color Change Potions



The pattern, variation and base color changers can be used to freshen up the look of any existing khimera (with the EXCEPTION of special and random Gryph Khimeras).


This year there are FIVE special limited edition items, platinum tokens and chrysalids, you can get when opening retro packs!!!! All platinum tokens/chrysalids are items within the retro pack "pool" and not bonus items.



In tune with our upcoming retro festival theme this year, "Alice in Wonderland", we have the Kalalily Kalan and Cheshire Asadia chrysalids for the custom demo,



and the Asadindelion and Vioyalan you can colour yourself as platinum tokens!



To kick off our new feature of anthro bases, we also have the Vulpes Platinum Token!



Also carrying over from last year are guaranteed bonus items! This year, whenever you open 25 Retro 2015 packs you are guaranteed to receive a Retro Random Coin 2015:



When used, this item will randomly open into one of the 5 available LE chrysalids/platinum tokens. There is no limit on the number of Retro Random Coins you may receive; you will get one each time you open 25 retro packs.


Retro packs cost $5 for singles and $7 for a double pack. They are available in the cash shop now, only until the end of July!


Note: you may open up to 6 single retro packs at a time using the multi-pack opener, to reduce duplicates (due to the way the pool is set up this will REDUCE the chance for duplicates but not eliminate it). This will not reduce your chances at platinum tokens/chrysalids/change potions etc.

Fellow citizens of khimeros, we are entering an exciting new era of relationship between khimeras and humans.

It has been almost six years now since humans rediscovered the world of khimeros. In that time they have found relics of ancient civilizations, hinting that humans existed in this world in times past, but some cataclysm occurred that resulted in the disappearance of all human life.

Since this second coming of humankind, khimeras have been friendly but wary where humans are concerned, keeping hidden certain aspects of their life cycles. Fearing rejection and lack of understanding, khimeras allowed humans to maintain familiar but inaccurate ideas regarding gender and reproduction. Until now, no humans have been allowed to witness or understand the true nature of the khimera life cycle.

The khimeras have now decided that it is time to make their true natures known.




Two khimeras creating a new life


Khimeras do not have "genders" or reproduce biologically in the way that humans do. Instead, every khimera possesses one of two forms of energy, Eion (what humans have thus far called "male") and Aion (what humans refer to as female).

Except in a few rare cases, Eion and Aion khimeras do not have any physical differences; the difference is simply in the form of reproductive energy they possess. Khimeras do not have any reproductive organs and do not reproduce sexually as humans do. In fact, they do not have a sexual dimension of any kind.

When a new khimera is created, an Eion khimera creates the chrysalis from the natural world around him, using earth, minerals, plants or any other natural substance to form the body of the chrysalis. During this process he imbues the chrysalis with his Eion essence and also shapes part of the unborn khima's physical appearance. He then passes the chrysalis on to an Aion khimera, who over the next two days, infuses the chrysalis with her Aion energy, and completes the shaping of the new khima, as she guards it from all harm. The two "parent" khimeras will generally use their own physical characteristics to shape the appearance of the offspring, but with some extra effort they may also use physical aspects of things in the natural world around them, like minerals, plants, and even other kinds of living creatures - including humans. The hybridization of life forms is part of the natural reproductive ethos of khimeras.

Until now, khimeras have refrained from using humans as templates for the new life forms they create, fearing misunderstanding and revulsion on the part of humans, who until now did not understand their reproductive system. However, they wish very much to further extend their friendship with humankind and to show their acceptance of humans as part of the natural world of Khimeros. They hope that their human friends will not be alarmed to see khimeras appear in the near future who have some physical traits of humans. These new khimeras also seem to enjoy dressing up in human clothing, so we hope that humans will be kind and not laugh at them ;)
