Are the locks accessories?
No! The locks are part of a lockmates body, so they cannot be removed unless the lockmate is officially "unlocked". That being said, please do not draw your lockmate without its lock or with the lock as an accessory.
Does my lockmate have to follow the lore?
You're more than welcome to use your lockmate in your own personal world and stories outside of group lore. However, any art that is outside the group canon will not be valid to earn group credit and is not allowed in the group gallery (I.E your lockmate drawn without a lock)
CAN I MAKE MY OWN?
Unfortunately, lockmates are a CLOSED SPECIES, meaning you cannot make your own without explicit permission from a species mod or MYO slot.
HOW CAN I GET A Lockmate?
You can obtain a lockmate by purchasing a MYO slot when they become available, purchasing a custom from goatsins, purchasing an adoptable, or receiving one from another user on dA via gift, trade, swap, etc.
At some point in the future, we will have a group currency to allow users to purchase MYO slots.

CAN I BASE MY LOCKMATE ON ___?
We do not allow Lockmates based on fictional characters, unfortunately! This was allowed in the past, but it no longer acceptable for MYOs. While you can use accessories themed on copyright characters, we ask the overall design be your own creation.
got anymore questions?
Feel free to send a note to the official dA group and an admin will respond to you as soon as possible!
