Project End + Next Steps 🎉
6 months ago – Sun, Nov 02, 2025 at 06:47:14 AM

Good morning! 

The project is finished and wow, it went amazing! We started Dragon Coop in 2019 with mostly fanart, but with each passing year we kept focusing more and more on what we're truly passionate about: fantastical creatures and silly chickens! Seeing how well our Hidden Critters did in this pin project is truly validating, and it motivates us to keep pursuing and working on our biggest ongoing passion project, The Hidden Critter Club. 

Thank you, truly. We couldn't have done this without you!


Next Steps

BackerKit will start to process payments, so please verify your payment methods to avoid any delays. We'll be sending out surveys in around two weeks time to collect shipping information and rewards selection, so keep an eye on your inboxes.

If you forgot to add something from the project, we'll have add-ons available with the pledge manager!

We'll keep you up to speed with any changes that might happen and any samples the manufacturer sends, as well as where we are in the production and fulfillment process.


Our next project's teaser page is out

This time it will be a plush pendant collection and enamel pins, go and give it some love~
On that note, if you haven't yet, give us a follow here in BackerKit! That way you'll be the first to know whenever we launch a new project (of which there will be many 🔥).

If you want to see more Critters like the ones in this project, consider joining the Hidden Critter Club. Every month we discover new creatures and dive deep into the lore of what makes them magical. This month we'll be featuring a Lyndwurm that steals clothing to fluff up their lairs.
The Hidden Critter Club is the best way to directly support us, and your support helps us keep working on this full time. Tap here to join.

We can't say this enough, thank you for your support.

Hi everyone! There's less than 6 hours left on the project, so if you've been eyeing it, now's the time to pledge ✨

Thanks so much to all of you who made this project happen. We're very happy and excited to keep making more creatures for you to discover.

Now, on to some updates:

Starkeeper Pin Unlocked!

We managed to unlock the Starkeeper pin! It's available as a pledge option as well as an add-on. You'll be able to add it to your package with the pledge manager as well once the campaign ends.

New Poll!

With our new Pintopia Project coming up, we want to know your opinion on what kind of pins would you like to see from us in the future. Pintopia will feature the Bitty Basilisk as plush pendants (you can follow the project HERE), but we also want to make some enamel pins to go with the plushies. We're debating whether to make small and mini pins or larger jumbo pins. The poll is attached to this update, so please go and vote 🌟

Next Steps

The project will end very soon and BackerKit will start to process payments, so please verify your payment methods to avoid any delays. We'll be sending out surveys in around two weeks time to collect shipping information and rewards selection, so keep an eye on your inboxes.

We'll update you guys with any changes that might happen and any samples the manufacturer sends, as well as where we are in the production and fulfillment process.

Once again, thanks for making this project happen, we're super grateful ❤️

Last day to sign up for October's Patreon Rewards! 🐸🦇
6 months ago – Fri, Oct 31, 2025 at 05:36:21 PM

Hi everyone, Happy Halloween!

Just dropping in to let you all know that today is the last day to sign up for this month's Patreon Rewards! This Hidden Critter is called the Camuyan Pterotoad and it was incredibly hard to discover, as they live deep inside river caves. They are blind as a bat, and use bioluminescence to communicate and hunt.

The Camuyan Pterotoad is a bat-toad hybrid and was inspired by the Sapo Concho (Puerto Rican Crested Toad) and various species of Puerto Rican endemic bats. The name Camuyan comes from the Taíno word Camuy, which in some translations means sun (which is why it glows!) and it lives in river caves because of Las Cuevas de Camuy in Puerto Rico, one of the world's largest underground rivers!

This month, we're celebrating reaching 200 active patrons, so we're making one of the stickers glow-in-the-dark! Tap HERE if you'd like to join!

New Pintopia Project + Less than 48 Hours left!
6 months ago – Fri, Oct 31, 2025 at 11:36:56 AM

Hi everyone!

With less than 2 days left on the project, we're super close to unlocking the Starkeeper! I'm super confident that we'll reach the Starkeeper Pin Add-on goal, so I'm making it available as an add-on because the campaign is ending soon and I don't want anyone who wanted the pin to not be able to pledge for it!

We also added in the Starkeeper as a pledge option, as well as the Bookwyrm Encyclopedia Super Deluxe Pack pledge tier, which includes AAALL of the goodies available in this campaign (8 enamel pins and 1 Jumbo enamel pin, 3 glow-in-the-dark stickers, 3 sticker sheets, 1 coloring book, 1 sticker book, 1 Starkeeper Plush Toy and 1 Bitty Basilisk Plush Toy).



In other news, we're super happy to announce we have a new project set up for Pintopia 2026!

The Bitty Basilisk is coming back, but this time as Plush Pendants! These little guys are going to be 3 inches tall and made with mochi stuffing. They'll also have a strap so you can take them anywhere. There will be six colors available, each with their own personality! They'll be available for purchase in the campaign, but they'll be sold as blind boxes once the campaign ends.

Tap HERE to follow along!


Here are some of the sample pictures. We've been in this back and forth for the last three months and it's finally looking the way we want it. The beak is going to look like the pink Basilisk instead of the embroidered beak in the yellow colorway. Their wings will also have magnets so they can stick to each other!
We'll update you all on the sample status whenever we get new pictures!

New Stretch Goals Updated!
6 months ago – Wed, Oct 29, 2025 at 01:27:16 PM

Hello everyone!

We're back and more pumped than ever with new Stretch Goals:


As promised, The Cosmic Starkeeper 3 inch enamel pin will be available as an add-on once we reach $7500. This pin will be the biggest we've ever done, and we're super excited to bring it to life! Paula even added a really cool half-tone effect for the different screen prints.



New Colorways will unlock at $10k. We will be showing them soon, as they're not quite ready yet. 

Please share the project with anyone you think might be interested. Every little bit counts, and we would love to share the Hidden Critters with as many people as possible~

Once again, thank you all so much for supporting our passion project. We can't believe how far this project has gone, and I can't wait to see all the cool goodies we'll unlock together.

We'll update you soon with the different colorways. Hope you all have an excellent week!
