This page has the basic rules and pricing for importing a boucle unicorn from Unicornia. To order an import, please contact our importers!

Available Importers

These are the designers that currently have permission to import Boucle Unicorns. Keep in mind that they might not have their services open at the moment, so make sure to check their journals. If you cannot find an import journal, they’re probably closed!:

Other mods may have seasonal permission to import designs, usually around their birthdays!

Rules

  • All payments should be made up front!
  • It is okay to look up the status of your import, but please keep in mind that importers have lives outside of dA too! Give them a reasonable amount of time before noting them.
  • Any deals made with an importer is their responsibility, and problems should be attempted to be solved with them first. However, if you cannot solve the problem with the importer, feel free to note luminasha or SilveringOak. They might be able to help!

Rarity

Rarities range from Rarity 0 up to Rarity 4.

The rarity is decided by what mutations, unnatural modifiers and unnatural dilutions your import has. If your boucle only has natural genes, it will be a rarity 0. Each unnatural gene will add towards your boucles rarity, so a boucle with one heterozygous unnatural gene will be a rarity 1; if they have one homozygous unnatural gene or two heterozygous ones they will be a rarity 2 and so on.

Rarity 0

A rarity 0 boucle only has natural genes. This means they are one of the following colours:

The import can optionally have any number of natural modifiers:

Rarity 1, 2, 3 & 4

If your boucle has a higher rarity than 0, it means it has at least one unnatural gene. That can mean an unnatural dilution, an unnatural modifier or a mutation. The rarity of said boucle is determined by the number of these genes they have. The following counts as unnatural genes:
