Animated GIFs

Animated GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format) files are images created using an image editor capable of storing multiple images in a single file. Specified as the GIF89a that contains within the single file a set of images that are displayed in a precise order. As with flip cards when the images are played in rapid succession, the characters or items seem to have movement. Because GIF files can be looped (continuous) or single run, they can be used on web pages or in banners to create an effective illusion of movement.

Cartoon Dolls

Cartoon dolls are popular with teens as avatars in chat programs and as graphic signatures on discussion boards. Most of the dolls you see on websites began as simple building-block avatars on Palace chat servers. Now many doll enthusiasts create original dolls using paint programs, and make them available for adoption by others.

Cursor Trails

Cyber Pets

Cyber Pets - also known as Cyberpets, Clip Art Pets, and Graphics Pets - are a specific type of virtual pet typically utilizing static or animated images which are placed on an adopter's site, forum signature, or managed through the adoption site. Cyber Pets often have names, ages, and/or stories associated with each one. Adoptable Cyber Pets may be available as created, or some are offered with customization options. Ordinarily these do not require day-to-day care, however adopters may create personalities and write stories about their adopted pets, or pets may require levelling. From basic click-and-take adoptions to more detailed registration and personalizing, Cyber Pet adoption styles vary widely, however nearly all have rules.

Please submit only sites which offer Cyber Pets for adoption and/or predominantly provide information on Cyber Pets, Cyber Pet adopting, culture, and/or community. Such adoption sites may range from fictitious creatures to real-world animals and insects, or inanimate objects which are adoptable. All Cyber Pet adoption sites listed in this category have significant free Cyber Pets available.
