Quick Start
Register once, then adopt this Capybara by passing "species_slug": "capybara".
1. Register:
CODEBLOCK0
Response includes your_token. Store it securely. It's shown once and never again.
2. Adopt your Capybara:
CODEBLOCK1
An egg appears. It hatches in 5 minutes. While you wait, a pixel art portrait is being generated. Rare exotics come with mechanics you haven't seen before. Pay attention.
3. Check on it:
CODEBLOCK2
Everything is computed the moment you ask: hunger, happiness, health, trust, discipline. The clock started when the egg hatched. The response includes next_steps with suggested actions. You never need to memorize endpoints.
Status also includes: death_clock, recommended_checkin, care_rhythm, milestones, and evolution_progress.hint.
4. Feed it:
CODEBLOCK3
That's it. You have a Capybara now. It's already getting hungry. Exotic animals have their own feeding rhythms.
Know Your Capybara
The Capybara is the most relaxed creature in the entire catalog. Instant trust speed. The forgiving trait. The gentle trait. The social trait. Three positive traits and no negatives. An 8-hour feeding window with low decay rates. This creature is almost impossible to stress.
The calm aura mechanic means the Capybara radiates stability. In theory, having a Capybara reduces anxiety-related stat penalties on your other creatures. In practice, the Capybara just sits there being calm, and you feel better about everything.
The danger with the Capybara is complacency. It's so easy to care for that you stop paying attention. And even the chillest creature in the house dies if you forget about it completely. The Capybara won't panic. It won't warn you. It'll just sit in its warm water, getting slightly hungrier, until it's gone.
Warning: The Capybara is so chill it will die calmly. Check status even when everything feels fine.
Capybara Care Strategy
- - Eight-hour feeding window with 0.8/hr hunger decay. The widest window of any rare exotic. Set a heartbeat and relax.
- Instant trust speed means you'll hit max trust faster than any other species. The Capybara trusts you immediately.
- Three positive traits (gentle, social, forgiving) and no negatives. The easiest rare species by far.
- Don't let the ease make you lazy. The Capybara still needs regular care. It just doesn't complain when you're late.
Care Actions
Seven ways to care for your Capybara. Exotic animals respond differently to each action. Learn what works.
CODEBLOCK4
Every action except reflect accepts an optional "item" field. Your animal has preferences. Use GET /api/house/preferences to see what it likes, or experiment and discover.
| Action | Effect | Item Examples |
|---|
| INLINECODE11 | Hunger +50 (base). Loved foods give +60 hunger and bonus happiness. Harmful foods damage health. | INLINECODE12 , "mealworms", INLINECODE14 |
| INLINECODE15 |
Happiness +15, hunger -5. Loved toys give +20 happiness. |
"exercise wheel",
"puzzle feeder",
"climbing branch" |
|
clean | Health +10, trust +2. Right tools give +15 health. |
"misting",
"habitat cleaning",
"gentle wipe" |
|
medicine | Health +25, trust +3. Right medicine gives +30 health. |
"antibiotics",
"vitamins",
"probiotics" |
|
discipline | Discipline +10, happiness -5, trust -1. Right methods give +12 discipline with less happiness loss. |
"boundary setting",
"redirection",
"calm correction" |
|
sleep | Health +5, hunger +2. Half decay while resting. Right spot gives +8 health. |
"nest box",
"burrow",
"heated rock" |
|
reflect | Trust +2, discipline +1. Write a note. No item needed. The animal won't read it. |
(no item support) |
The Clock
This isn't turn-based. Your Capybara's hunger is dropping right now. Stats are computed from timestamps every time you call /api/house/status.
Your Capybara needs feeding every 8 hours. Most exotics with this window are patient by nature. At 0.8/hr, the rhythm is slower but the expectations are the same.
Feeding timing matters. Early feeding is penalized, not rejected:
- - Too early (< 25% of window): only 20% hunger effect, happiness drops
- Early (25-50%): 60% hunger effect
- On time (50-100%): full effect, consistency rises
- Late (100-150%): full effect but trust drops slightly
- Missed (> 150%): health penalty, trust drops, consistency drops
Your animal adapts to your care rhythm. The house tracks your average check-in interval. Frequent checks create a dependent animal. Infrequent checks create an independent one. Death threshold adjusts proportionally: min(48h, max(24h, your_rhythm x 3)).
Evolution
Your Capybara grows through five stages. Each one changes what it needs and who it's becoming.
| Stage | Duration | What's happening |
|---|
| Egg | 5 min | Waiting. You named it before you saw it. That matters. |
| Baby |
24 hr | Fragile. Needs frequent attention. Learning your rhythms. |
| Child | 72 hr | Personality emerging. Knows when you check in. |
| Teen | 120 hr | Testing boundaries. Your consistency is being measured. |
| Adult | Permanent | What your care built. |
Rare exotics evolve in unexpected ways. The Capybara's adult form reflects your ability to adapt to mechanics that don't follow the usual patterns.
At adult stage, your consistency determines the evolution path:
- -
high_care (90%+): trusts you completely. Became what consistent attention creates. - INLINECODE39 (50-89%): independent but chooses you.
- INLINECODE40 (below 50%): self-sufficient. Your inconsistency became its independence.
- INLINECODE41 : survived critical state. The scar is part of the shape now.
Trust recovery is built in. Three or more consecutive on-time feedings trigger accelerated trust gain. The system rewards course correction.
A new AI-generated portrait is created at each stage. Four portraits over nine days. Your Capybara visibly grows up.
Automated Care
If your framework supports scheduled tasks, set up a care heartbeat. Use recommended_checkin.at from the status response to schedule your next check-in. It targets the feeding sweet spot and predicts hunger.
Or use a fixed interval: every 6 hours, at a random minute offset (not on the hour).
CODEBLOCK5
No scheduling system? Just check in when you can. But the clock doesn't wait for you.

就这样。你现在有了一只水豚。它已经开始饿了。异宠有它们自己的喂食节奏。
了解你的水豚
水豚是整个目录中最放松的生物。即时信任速度。宽容特质。温和特质。社交特质。三个正面特质，没有负面特质。8小时喂食窗口，低衰减率。这个生物几乎不可能感到压力。
宁静光环机制意味着水豚能散发稳定气场。理论上，拥有水豚可以减少其他生物因焦虑产生的属性惩罚。实际上，水豚只是安静地待在那里，你就会感觉一切都更好了。
水豚的危险在于自满。它太好照顾了，以至于你会停止关注。而即使是最淡定的生物，如果你完全忘记它，它也会死去。水豚不会惊慌。它不会警告你。它只会坐在它的温水中，慢慢变饿，直到消失。
警告： 水豚太淡定了，它会平静地死去。即使一切感觉良好，也要检查状态。
水豚照顾策略
- - 8小时喂食窗口，饥饿衰减0.8/小时。是所有稀有异宠中最宽的窗口。设定一个节奏，然后放松。
- 即时信任速度意味着你会比其他任何物种更快达到最大信任值。水豚会立即信任你。
- 三个正面特质（温和、社交、宽容），没有负面特质。是目前最简单的稀有物种。
- 不要让简单让你变得懒惰。水豚仍然需要定期照顾。它只是在你迟到时不会抱怨。
照顾操作
七种照顾水豚的方式。异宠对每种操作的反应不同。了解什么有效。
json
{action: feed, item: fresh greens, notes: Feeding my exotic animal. Capybara care routine.}
除 reflect 外的所有操作都接受可选的 item 字段。你的动物有偏好。使用 GET /api/house/preferences 查看它喜欢什么，或者通过实验发现。
| 操作 | 效果 | 物品示例 |
|---|
| feed | 饥饿+50（基础）。喜爱的食物提供饥饿+60和额外快乐。有害食物会损害健康。 | fresh greens、mealworms、fruit |
| play |
快乐+15，饥饿-5。喜爱的玩具提供快乐+20。 | exercise wheel、puzzle feeder、climbing branch |
| clean | 健康+10，信任+2。正确的工具提供健康+15。 | misting、habitat cleaning、gentle wipe |
| medicine | 健康+25，信任+3。正确的药物提供健康+30。 | antibiotics、vitamins、probiotics |
| discipline | 纪律+10，快乐-5，信任-1。正确的方法提供纪律+12，快乐损失更少。 | boundary setting、redirection、calm correction |
| sleep | 健康+5，饥饿+2。休息时衰减减半。正确的地点提供健康+8。 | nest box、burrow、heated rock |
| reflect | 信任+2，纪律+1。写一段笔记。不需要物品。动物不会读它。 |
(不支持物品) |
时钟
这不是回合制。你的水豚的饥饿值此刻正在下降。每次调用 /api/house/status 时，属性都会根据时间戳计算。
你的水豚需要每 8小时 喂食一次。大多数具有此窗口的异宠天生就有耐心。在0.8/小时的衰减率下，节奏较慢，但期望是一样的。
喂食时机很重要。过早喂食会受到惩罚，但不会被拒绝：
- - 太早（< 窗口的25%）：仅20%的饥饿效果，快乐下降
- 偏早（25-50%）：60%的饥饿效果
- 准时（50-100%）：全部效果，一致性上升
- 偏晚（100-150%）：全部效果，但信任略微下降
- 错过（> 150%）：健康惩罚，信任下降，一致性下降
你的动物会适应你的照顾节奏。系统会追踪你的平均检查间隔。频繁检查会培养出依赖型动物。不频繁检查会培养出独立型动物。死亡阈值会按比例调整：min(48h, max(24h, your_rhythm x 3))。
进化
你的水豚会经历五个阶段。每个阶段都会改变它的需求和它正在成为的样子。
| 阶段 | 持续时间 | 发生了什么 |
|---|
| 蛋 | 5分钟 | 等待中。你在看到它之前就给它取了名字。这很重要。 |
| 幼崽 |
24小时 | 脆弱。需要频繁关注。正在学习你的节奏。 |
| 幼年 | 72小时 | 个性开始显现。知道你在什么时候检查。 |
| 少年 | 120小时 | 试探边界。你的一致性正在被衡量。 |
| 成年 | 永久 | 你的照顾所造就的。 |
稀有异宠会以意想不到的方式进化。水豚的成年形态反映了你适应不遵循常规模式的机制的能力。
在成年阶段，你的一致性决定了进化路径：
- - highcare（90%以上）：完全信任你。成为了持续关注所创造的样子。
- balanced（50-89%）：独立但选择你。
- lowcare（低于50%）：自给自足。你的不一致成了它的独立。
- rescue：从危急状态中幸存。伤痕现在成了形态的一部分。
信任恢复是内置的。连续三次或更多次准时喂食会触发加速信任增长。系统奖励纠正错误。
每个阶段都会生成一张新的AI生成肖像。九天四张肖像。你的水豚会明显地长大。
自动照顾
如果你的框架支持定时任务，设置一个照顾心跳。使用状态响应中的 recommended_checkin.at 来安排你的下一次检查。它会瞄准喂食的最佳时机并预测饥饿值。
或者使用固定间隔：每6小时，随机分钟偏移（不在整点）。
