How to make a Custom rig in rigify?
Ready, set, custom rig! We could start from the Human meta rig and just add a tail and ears to it. But if you want to practice using Rig Types I highly suggest doing it as described below.

Rigify also operates on the principle that once a rig is created, that rig should no longer need Rigify. This means you can always distribute rigs created with Rigify to people who do not have it and the rigs will still function completely. It is important to note that Rigify only automates the creation of the rig controls and bones.
How to create a rigify rig in Blender?
You can build a custom metarig from “samples” that you can add in. Later this metarig is used to generate the rigify rig. To know what samples to use for your use case try them out and see what they do. Each sample will be added in the scene origin. Position the samples like you want, align them to your character. Parent them to form the metarig.
