Latest Updates from Our Project:

Last day to sign up for October's Patreon Rewards! 🐸🦇
8 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!
8 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!
8 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!

Project Status and New Stretch Goals
8 months ago – Wed, Oct 22, 2025 at 08:05:49 AM

Hi everyone! 

First off, THANK YOU for making this happen. We were confident that the project would be a success, but we had no idea how much you guys would like our Hidden Critters! These creatures are our passion project, and we're so happy that so many people find them fun and interesting. Thank you thank you thank you!

Now, to business:

New Stretch Goals

The Spore Spriteling and the Snowcapped Qilin are the next discovered Critters to join the parade! Actually, we went to sleep and woke up to find that the Spriteling was already unlocked 🔥 Here's a little bio of each Critter:

The previous poll was very unanimous: winning by a mile with around 50% of all votes, the next Critter will be the Cosmic Starkeeper! I'm currently lining and preparing the design for pin form, and I'll post the final design soon. This pin will be a big one, the biggest one we've ever done at 3 inches long! It will unlock at $7,500.


More add-ons are on the way, so stay tuned and keep sharing the project so we can discover more goodies!

New Add-Ons Available!

We added more add-ons, like the Cosmic Starkeeper plush and the Bitty Basilisk Plush, based on two of the most beloved Hidden Critters discovered!
We also added three previously discovered Hidden Critters as enamel pins! Meet the Plumed Skimmer, the Bitty Basilisk and the Mellow Moorlamb!


New Pledge Levels Available!

We also added new pledge levels! The new levels are the Five Pins, Eight Pins and Ten Pins, in case the previous levels didn't have enough pins in them! The more pins you add, the bigger the discount!

Community Leader Prizes!

We're giving away some nifty prizes to the 3 people that end up first, second and third place in the Community Leaderboard! 

First Place will get One Month Free access to the Critter Explorer tier of our Patreon, and Second and Third Places will get a 50% discount code for one month of the Critter Explorer tier! If you'd like to know more about the Hidden Critters, this is a great way of doing so by becoming a Bookwyrm Scout! 

We'll be adding more posts, updates and polls so you can interact with and climb through the ranks! 

Cross-Collab Rewards

Remember that if you pledge to the Spirit of Autumn Enamel Pin by Pinfeathers Pin Shoppe, you'll get two freebie keychains featuring their Autumn Dragon and our very own Gourd Goblin!

That's all for now. Once again, thanks so much for all the love and support you've given this project.
Talk soon!
