Furcadia also offers Furlings (child furres), Nobles (regal male and female versions of the 'default' species) and Seasonal avatars (only available during certain times of year). Some of these avatars include abilities, such as flight and fire-breathing effects for example. These include Portrait spaces (for one port each), wings (Classic Wings, Tricolor Wings, Butterfly Wings, Bat Wings, and Prime Wings), mythicals, including the ( Dragon, Phoenix, Gryphon, Kitterwing, Unicorn, Kirin, and "ferian" (non-biped) species). In addition to the basic species, furres can purchase optional add-ons for their character using real-world money. It is also common to use one of these base species to create another for example, choosing the coloring on a squirrel to make it look like a skunk. The following species can be selected during the character creation process: Rodent, Equine, Feline, Canine, Musteline, Lapine, Squirrel, Bovine (also known as Minotaurs), Ursine, and Bugge.
Joining Furcadia involves creating a character by selecting a name, entering a contact e-mail address to activate an account, selecting a species, choosing colors, and writing a personal description that is visible to other furres. This client connects to the Furcadia server, allows for character creation, and provides a graphical environment where a furre (Furcadia character) can explore dreams (player-made areas) and interact with others. To join Furcadia, the Furcadia Client can be downloaded and installed.
