wow i'm learning!  never heard of the marble polecat, so neat!  I love them all!  I would totally get myself in the back of the head all of the time (if I survived after the first time) if I had that scorpion tail.  they're going to have to give us more pet spots!!!!!  more more more more more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  i have the full 16 but whatever.  i feed them.  Happy April 20th!

i agree, these are boring and colourless compared to the others.  I guess the designers were cat people?!

I agree with grannie, I wait for the items worth 400000np and up, I've had a 2 million np paint brush!

omg they're all so cute!  I've missed this!  thank you to all!

I knew they'd go NC too for the UC pets, but at least we have the art back! So I for one am very happy to have been able to achieve my dream. The trading for UC pets was crazy too, and to be fair, the NC can be free. Most of my NC that I've gotten has been free, through events or winning the Scarab expellibox. It is kinda expensive sure, but I'm sure if they made it really cheap a lot of people would have complained too as it would "lose value" because it's not "special" anymore.

Does the scarab expellibox work for anyone?  It hasn't worked for me since we lost flash.  

oh i'm glad you got some np, they'll be worth 1000 np next week, and you'll get more free ones.

so did you end up selling it or keeping it?  I saw some for less than 200000np last night but now there are none available!

you got it on the release date, i'd sell it for as much np asap as they won't be worth much soon!  good luck!

if it's worth that much and you don't want it I would sell it.  Sometimes something goes down in price quickly and you might regret not selling it.  It's just my opinion, if you're going to use it then enjoy it (I would love to have that pet), otherwise enjoy the np on your dream pet.  thanks!  let us know what you decide!

I hope you're enjoying your new Koi!

Oh I'm so glad we've found a home!  Let me send him along!

Hello everyone, this morning I was lucky enough to zap my return-it-to-the-pound-an-awesome-colour-pet and I was just wondering if anyone here would like to have it before I do so, I will leave this post here until tomorrow evening if anyone would like it!  Thank you!

they should give you a prize for being the biggest neopet fan in the world!!!!!!!!!!!

i've noticed the prices on paint brushes has gone way way way up, neggs too, pretty quickly

Hello, I have  a 

A Mysterious Valentines Card

yes, mine has not been working for a few days and Grave Danger has been only letting me take 1 item.  both of these has happened to me before and it usually takes weeks or months to clear up.  so annoying.

wow those are amazing!  you have so much talent.

omg my pets chose the grossest food lol

So it might be a bit early for this thread, but I'm pretty much done with pet stuff for the year, so I may as well start off our end-of-the-year showcase thread:

Behold, all my newly-created, newly-adopted, and newly-painted pets this year! The top row is pets that I already had, but have been painted or zapped this year. Second row is all my traded and adopted pets, two of which (cocoapuff99 and stickypicky) aren't yet painted because I want chocolate and custard for them, respectively.

On the third row are the pets that I've created and painted this year, and finally on the last row are the pets that I've created, but not yet painted, either because I want lab-only colours (ice for Hyrngnar and robot for A70M), or because I haven't yet decided which of several choices I'm going with.

I'll waffle on a whole lot more under a spoiler...

  Reveal hidden contents

So, this is the year that I finally sat down and hammered out an actual theme for my last two accounts. One of them has been filling out pretty nicely, and the other… the other is very slow going. My accounts are kind of in shambles at the moment, because I am still a cheapskate— I mean, responsible adult, who won’t shell out for more pet slots. But I’ll list out my new and newly-painted pets by the account they’re supposed to be on.

And as much as I love the new pet slots we got this year, it did mean that my two completed accounts are now uncompleted! So doing that will be my priority for the next year!

Main account: D&D&Darigans! (And my OSRS RNs)
- Movario… Oh, Movario. He never did end up zapping halloween, even after like 2? 3??? years of zapping! I managed to snag a PB this past Halloween.
- Melspeth, was originally supposed to be a steampunk kyrii… then the Katya outfit came out. I painted her orange as the base cause I like orange!
- Lowerniel is my second OSRS permie, named after Lowerniel Drakan, the fearsome vampyre lord of Morytania! I was originally going to have him made as a custom for trade, but that… uh, didn’t work out.
- Glouphrie is my *third* OSRS permie, named after a gnomish mage of… shall we say, ambiguous morality. He’s going to be woodland, for sure, although painting him is super low priority right now because I am still keen on seeing if we’ll ever get a woodland buzz or vandagyre. If not, then he will end up as a Woodland Yurble!
- Kabethari was created last august. He was my first Dragon Age inspired pet! Kabethari is a Qunlat word meaning ‘simple person,’ used to describe those that haven’t (yet) joined the Qun. While I don’t love the Qunari quite as much as I love the Avvar, I do still love them alot. I am considering painting/zapping him for island, as while I don’t really like island pets, I will always make an exception for kyriis.

In terms of future plans… I would love to get a mutant hissi! And find better names for another Darigan Ixi and Buzz. And this account would probably be the most fitting place for a steampunk kyrii, as an artificer.

side #1: the troublesome one
This account has vexed me since my return in 2019. I simply could not settle on a theme for it! I’ve tried a couple different things, but I think I’ve found the winner: an account full of super old chocolate/candy/etc pets with horrible names! There’s just… something so nostalgic about them. It’s going to be a slow account to build, though.  I’ve snagged three fitting pets so far, and otherwise the account is just storing trading fodder, and pets I know I want to keep but I’m not sure what to do with:

- cocoapuff99 is going to be my chocolate vandagyre. I was offered him twice, actually. The first time I passed him over, because while the name is ‘bad’ it’s also not particularly fun? I guess the first offerer traded him, and then the second person reoffered him, and at that point I accepted, because I did kind of regret passing (I wish I’d taken that first offer, though, it was a nameswap for a pet I didn’t care as much for).
- coooooooooooooookie is… that NAME. I couldn’t pass him up. I found him on the L&P.
- stickypicky was another pet that I was offered twice. I’m going to zap him for custard, although if he zaps candy, I wouldn’t mind that either! That being said, I do think his name is still a little too nice. But it’s cute!
- Giovannai was traded for, and promptly morphed and painted into a pirate buzz. No idea what to do with him otherwise, but… I’m attached! I might shift him over to my main, and just call him the party monk. Way of the drunken master is a monk archetype, and pirates drink a lot… it could work!

Anyway, I am considering quite a few species/colour combos for this account, although I’m trying not to lock it down 100% because I will still have to account for the names I will end up having to work with. But rest assured, there will be plenty of kyriis and buzzes!

side #2: celtic/viking/etc pets
So, this is the other account that I’ve been floudering with a theme for. Til a few months ago, all the ideas I’ve come up with were just stupidly complicated. But settled on a mishmash of nordic/scottish/pagan-themed pets. Mostly vandagyres, lol, because I’ve really grown to like them, recently! I think I have more vandagyres than buzzes, now. A horrifying thought.

- Svonclaw and Byorwing: my two newest vandagyres. If I’m going for a viking theme, a royal pair are a no-brainer! Their names are based on some homebrew Avvar gods from my Dragon Age epic.
- Brodgar is my Spotted Vandagyre, because the spotted vanda is just gorgeous! He’s named after a ring of standing stones in Scotland, buuut it is also a name with ties to an indie game I play, which is set in the Iron Age with heavy nordic themes.
- Wassailer was created not long after. I’ve always been kind of meh on the Christmas colour. But vandas are the one exception. I was originally going to wait and create her in December, but… I get real paranoid about untaken names, and I knew that no other name would ever compare if someone took it before me.
- Hryngnar is… a Dragon Age RN, the name of an ice troll from Avvar legends, and… look, I SWEAR, I thought I had searched up every single name that was even remotely related to the Avvar a few years back! But in November, I decided to just double check one more time, and… this was untaken?? I was gobsmacked. I’m zapping him for an ice vandagyre, for sure!
- Movran is another Dragon Age RN. This one I was actually aware of, I just held off on making it because I already have Movario with a very similar name, and I wasn’t sure what to do with him. But I caved, eventually. I still wasn’t sure what to do with him… but then someone on the pound chat suggested the tuskaninny outfit! It fits so well!

Ice kyrii and buzz are the next obvious choices, as well as some snow pets. The bruce also has a nice barbarian outfit.

side #3: SPACE GANG SPACE GANG
Was 100% completed… until the steampunk grundo came out. I scuttled off to get one, and recompleted it… and then the pet slots came out. Unfortunately, I actually had *two* ideas for new pets, and only one slot! But I created them both anyway, one’s on my main being zapped to robot which will probably take ages.

- Jepire was the first painted pet for this account this year! I think I posted about it on last year’s thread, but it was technically in this calendar year! She finally zapped robot, after like three years of zapping!
- Poxic the Chocolate Kacheek was traded for a royalgirl draik custom on one of my 5Ls, and promptly FFQ’d into a steampunk grundo. I was initially going for a name starting with X so he’d sit beside my other grundo, Xeneona… but the Pox+Toxic portmanteau called to me!
- A70M was one of the two pets I created in November. He’s going to be a robot zafara!
- Staardust was the second pet I created. Glam rock was my special interest all through high school, I couldn’t not have a Bowie-inspired pet, right? I'm admittedly still a bit iffy on this colour, and whether or not I want the Blumaroo Galactic outfit or not.

That’s all for now, but the next pet I will go for on this account is definitely going to be a robot grundo. Other than that, I could also see myself going for an 8-Bit Grundo, or a Robot Grarrl or Gnorbu?

side #4: my kyrii noble family and mutants
Was 100% completed until November! I did move my grey kyrii over here, but she was already painted and had her petpet.

- Glaom is my newest, created in November… I’m not quite sure what to do with. I snagged the name cause it’s a mispell of my current D&D character (or rather, his old name), originally intending to make him into a Darigan Ixi. But I also wanted another kyrii because I don’t have enoguh kyriis? So he’s a kyrii for now, the ghost PB is cheap so if I change my mind it's whatever.

I’ve also decided that I definitely want a Halloween Lupe, but I have yet to find a good name. Ideally I’m looking for a nice mispell of the name Tommy (shoutout to those who get the reference!) I’ve seen one around the PC, but I lost the thread before I’d made up my mind that I wanted to offer on it, and I haven’t seen it UFT since! Otherwise, I’ve been looking for a nice wolfish pun. A mutant lenny would also be nice… Mutant or Elderlygirl/boy Kyriis are also strong contenders!

But otherwise, what new pets do you have this year? Any other accomplishments you're particularly proud of?

Your pets look amazing, but your brain is even better, I don't even remember yesterday lol.

these are very good ideas and I hope they get attention from the appropriate people!

yes, we've all done that, count your blessings if that's something that even pops up on radar.

thank you so very much, super appreciated!!!!

is the question incorrect, or is the answer wrong?  that is the question lol
