Not entirely sure. Could wind up being used on things that have some shark traits but don't look actually shark enough to be considered a hybrid. How do we plan to use the shark_puppy tag?

Considering that most fictional hybrids were aliased to hybrid a while back.. No, not self-explanatory at all.

What makes this one special enough to be kept?

shark puppy is not really a hybrid. its a four legged shark that just acts like a puppy.

There are no puppy traits about shark puppy except in his fourleggedness and some behavioral traits. Tagging him as hybrid would be really inappropriate.

I was going to make an arguement for it being a character tag instead... however, there is indication that there are multiple shark puppies, not a singular: post #1339340 post #1090311 and one sharkpuppy seems to be Vress_(character) by vress_(artist)... while the other is shark_puppy_(character) by stacey-lenaghan

That said, Vress's patreon page speciffically says that "we are the vress team" and says that "THIS is a vress" and points at a shark puppy thing, so I guess it's... correct. Vress seems to be both artist, character name and species name. Geeze.

*scratches chin*

I don't know.

I don't know that a implication should be done thought--I could see drawing sharkpuppy as a non-shark species.

... but then it should be a the vress character as a non-shark puppy species?? so.. naybe the implication is fine??

I don't know.

I think Shark puppy as a species is distinctive enough though, especially since we don't have a tag for things like quadropedal birds, or fish with legs. (besides quadroped, of course)

The wiki entry for shark_puppy is atrocious. It's there to describe/explain the tag, not be unnecessarily facetious.

Fixed it based on what SnowWolf said it's defined as.
