    • Rexouium**, meaning king care taker, is an open species created by Rezillo Ryker.

Traits

The species' defining traits are:

  • their height (up to 7 feet, or just over 213 centimeters tall)
  • strong legs
  • long, pointed ears
  • mane-like feathers along the top of the head and the back of the neck
  • tufts of feathers on the limb joints (elbows, wrists, knees)

Avatar Bases

Being an open species, multiple creators have released avatar bases featuring their signature look.

These bases include full facial visemes, have full support for full-body tracking and VRChat's native eye tracking out-of-the-box, while some also have support for face-tracking and MMD visemes (either built-in or as community add-ons). The bases also typically come with both Desktop and Android platform support, with different versions optimized to meet each platforms mandatory limits.

Rexouium Avatar by Rezillo Ryker

The original base made by the species' creator is commonly considered to be the "default avatar" of furries on VRChat. Due to its generally canine (dog-like) facial structure and customizability the avatar can be made to fit many of the most common animal species used by furries and their characters.

As a result, it is among the most widely-used models with a large number of compatible accessories made by the rest of the community. The model also contains a lot of customization blendshapes, and includes the ability to switch between digitigrade and plantigrade leg styles in-game in its newer versions. Due to its versatility, public avatar creators often use this base to create avatars with a lot of customization options and clothing, which lead to avatars based on this model becoming a regular sight in public lobbies, especially those frequented by furries.

This base is primarily distributed via Gumroad. The model also comes with a separate, albeit more pricy, license option for commercial use.

Rexouium Evolved by Tosca

This base was created by Tosca, who is among the earliest furry avatar creators to include both digitigrade and plantigrade leg styles in their avatars, including this one. Due to VRChat's lack of support for Unity bone constrains on the Android (formerly referred to as Quest) platform, the digitigrade rig version of the avatar is only usable on the desktop (PC) platform.

This base is also primarily distributed via Gumroad.


The base saw a later re-release titled EvoRex HD with the main new feature being split UVs that allow for the use of larger resolution textures on certain parts of the avatar. This is also being sold on Gumroad, and was provided to the owners of the previous model version for free.

There are no specific restrictions on this base for commercial use, beyond the requirement that model files must not be redistributed by buyers.

Rezuium by Hirozu

This base, created by Hirozu provides an alternative to the previous ones with a different style and built-in face tracking. This one is also available on Gumroad, where, in additional to the base itself, a separate clothing accessory package is also available.

Commercial use (specifically re-sale of the model itself) is prohibited by the base's terms of service (ToS), but it can be used as part of other content as long as the fact that the model is not included with the purchase is clearly indicated, and that credit must be given to the model author.

Notably, the avatar was featured in HTC's U24 Pro commercial. The company initially failed to give credit to the base creator, breaching the base's ToS, and only including it after it has been publicly called out.
