Doodles

**Doodles** are pets for Toons, and can be used as companions for Toons in their Estate or in battle.

Doodles live in their owner's estate after adoption. When a Toon arrives at their estate, they will be able to see the doodle's tag on their screen if they own one already. Upon clicking the doodle's tag, you will see a small box show up, similar to when you click on another Toon's name, showing your doodle and allowing you to see your doodle's current status, such as its tricks tab, and the ability to call, feed, and pet your doodle. From here you can also see your doodle's current mood. Your doodle also appears on your friends list so you can check on your doodle from anywhere.

Each player can only own one Doodle, which leads to six Doodles in each Estate (one for each Toon in the same Account).

## Purchasing a Doodle

Doodles can be purchased from any Pet Shop.

Before any purchase, players will get to preview the Doodles available on sale that day. Doodles are randomised for each player, and players can choose from one of four Doodles available. Previewing the Doodles also show their traits and preferred Tricks.

Depending on which Pet Shop you buy your doodle from, you will get many randomized doodle variations from colors and spots to tails, ears, noses, and even hair - as well as a multitude of options for naming. Rarer doodles may have rarer customization options such as dragon scales or extra fur.

The options for each Pet Shop's doodles changes each day for each playground. If a Toon is not satisfied with the purchased doodle, they can talk to one of the Pet Shop clerks to return their current doodle, but will not get a refund.

### Names

*Main article: Doodle Names*
Doodles can have a wide variety of names, ranging from everyday objects, classical characters, or pop culture references.

### Statistics

When purchasing Doodles, they come with five main statistics, which affect a variety of behaviors such as how susceptible they are to training, and how easily they get exhausted. These five statistics are graded on a score of 1 - 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. Each statistic also has pros and cons for higher scores, which are explained below:

 **Energy** | Each point of Energy makes a Doodle more likely to be Playful, and more likely to perform multiple Tricks in succession.
 **Intelligence** | Each point of Intelligence increases the chance that a Doodle succeeds on a Trick, and the amount of Training EXP a Doodle gets when succeeding on a Trick.
 **Luck** | Each point of Luck increases the chance a Doodle finds an item or Gag with the Dig Trick, and the chance it does a Super Trick (i.e. critical).
 **Weight** | Each point of Weight increases the Doodle's health and damage when using the Barrel and Box Morph Tricks.

### Traits

Every Doodle has a specific set of traits affecting their behavior - Doodles can have up to 3 special traits. Doodles which cost more tend to have better traits, making them easier to train or use in battle.

The following are a list of Doodle traits, from Very Bad to Good.

### Unique Traits

Unique to Doodles that are purchased on Aloha Atoll and Velo City, some Doodles can have Unique Traits which make them especially easy to train, or give bonus effects to some of their movesets. However, this comes at a cost: they are very rarely seen in the Pet Shop (at most 1 every reset), they cost about 30-50% more than the average Doodle, and Doodles with Unique Traits will **always** have at least one Bad or Very Bad Trait.

* Adorable: If the Doodle is currently Affectionate, its Tricks are 50% more effective.
* Big-Boned: All Tricks deal 20% more damage, and have 20% increased stun chance, to Cogs.
* Entertaining: All Tricks recover 10% more Laff to all Toons.
* Hyperactive: The Doodle will never be Tired after a single trick, and has an increased chance of remaining Excited or Playful after 2 or more tricks.
* Jack-Of-All-Tricks: When the Doodle gains Trick experience for one Trick, it also gains 50% experience for all other Tricks it has currently learned.
* Loving: All Tricks recover 20% more Laff to its owner.
* Quick Learner: All Doodle Trick experience is increased by +50% regardless of mood.
* Silly: If the Doodle is Confused, it has a moderate-to-high chance to do another Trick instead.
* Sociable: If the Doodle is put together with another Doodle, it is twice as likely to be Excited.
* Well-Rested: All Trick cooldown times are reduced by 25%.

### Doodle Trainer

Preston LePaws, a Doodle Trainer in Velo City, is able to untrain a maximum of one Very Bad or Bad Trait from your Doodle if it has one. In order to do so, you will need to pay 5,000 Jellybeans to Preston, and your Doodle must have mastered at least three different Doodle Tricks.

Your Doodle will then be sent to a Doodle School for 1 week, during which time you are unable to interact with or play with your Doodle.

After 1 week has elapsed, you can return to Preston LePaws, who will return your Doodle to you. If your Doodle has a Very Bad Trait, it is downgraded into a random Bad Trait. Otherwise, if your Doodle has a Bad Trait, it turns into a random Good Trait.

Preston LePaws refuses to retrain a Doodle, however, and you can only do this once per Doodle. Preston LePaws will also refuse to train your Doodle if it has no Bad or Very Bad Traits, noting that "Your Doodle appears perfectly fine and dandy to me! Why, that's a prized Doodle if I have ever seen one!"

## Moods

Reading a Doodle's Mood is the easiest way to train a Doodle and have it be helpful to the player. While some moods are negative and impede the Doodle's performance in some way, they can be subsided by meeting the necessary conditions.

## Doodle Tricks

*Main article: Doodle Tricks*
Various tricks can be performed under battle after some training. By default, Toons have access to one trick: Jump. The remainder of the tricks can be purchased from Clarabelle's Cattlelog. Each purchase of the previous Trick unlocks the next.

## Doodle Contests

Occasionally, Doodle Contests will be held in the Toontown Central Playground, where Doodles are put through a medley of obstacles and special events. Contest winners may obtain accessories to decorate their Doodles.
