I actually really do like the Origami Color! It's not too overly detailed, but the scale design on its head looks really nice! The colors look just like an alligator or a crocodile's, which is a nice touch!
The clothes on the other hand... They're just alright. I feel like this is another case where each individual piece looks like it'd fit really well with certain colors and other clothing, but all together it's a tad much. The nails and teeth and even the head spikes together on one would be a good idea, but the ones on the body may be a bit too much clutter- For me at least! I'd like to see someone prove that wrong and use this in a different way, it has potential.
Despite a few odd things, it's a great Krawk Day!

I sure hope it does, it's one of the few corners of the internet that still functions as a comfort site for me

Here are mine:
80sfilms: Named after a song by one of my favorite artists, Jon Bellion.
JohnBookerRoutledge: Named after the character John B from Outer Banks.
MatchaDonut: My gallery is café-themed, and I wanted at least one of my pets to have a name that somewhat matches the theme.
RollerRabbit: Named after a clothing brand.
toastmalone: A play on words of the rapper Post Malone's name. In keeping with the musicians-with-bread-related-pun names, her petpet is called Bread Sheeran.
WalkingMeme: Found him at the pound a few years ago and his name was wayyyyyy too good to pass up.

Excuse the messy table lol 

None of my pet's names have any special meaning. I just thought they would fit with them. It started with my original four (who I didn't paint for several years): klawai (eventide Shoyru) kolepia (camouflage Scorchio) Klamania (Spotted Tuskaninny) and Kramak (Tyrannian Grarrl) who I have painted several 'colors' before settling with these ones. Now I knew from the start that I didn't want names with numbers or underscores (that's what these _ are called, right?) and as you could get more and more pets I found out after the 5th or 6th one that I liked the letter k (which is now my favorite letter as you might expect). And I stuck with that ever since. So now along with those previous 4 odd names I got (some of which I transferred from my side to my main after it was possible): Kapilor (starry Ogrin), Kuporion (faerie Techo), Kramarto (dimensional Eyrie), Koricko (desert Korbat), Kleplo (fire Lutari), Kwammar (mutant Bori), Klarton (pink Lenny), Kiyachar (stealthy Gelert), Kirsauk (toy Blumaroo), Kiparak (wraith Chomby), Kaskafil (ice Hissi (the story behind him I told in another forum post)), Kapordo (royalboy Zafara), Karchef (halloween Lupe), Karumpa (electric Draik), Koishar (water Jetsam) and Klopari (rainbow Krawk). And on my side I have an adopted pet (Rin_go_Rawr, a red Xweetok) and one of my own (my most recent) to keep it company: Kupakwa (blue Kyrii who I'm hoping gets to be candy one day). So yeah. There you have my wierd naming choices. XD

I know exactly what you're talking about lol   my original pets were lazy names and had lots of numbers.  i really like the thought you put into your current pet names. 

All of my original pets (from 2001 or so) have TERRIBLE names because I had no idea what I was doing and took whatever abominable string of numbers and underscores Neopets unhelpfully suggested I append to my original (taken) choice. These include Angel_Rules_2001, Ally_Anna33, Sigma123_2001, and Zena1305. Yikes, but... y'know. It is what it is. I'm too attached to them to ever do anything about it.
All of the names of pets that I created post-2001 (which really just means 2020ish to present, lol) are very carefully chosen and have special meanings. I like to either find a unique but related word for their eventual appearance (color/species), or combine a few until I get something that sounds like what I want.

Rivulett, my Maraquan Lutari, is just an alternative spelling of Rivulet (which was already taken), meaning "a very small stream"

Samsanthea, my Island/Christmas crosspainted sunflower Kau, got her mashup name from the Hebrew "Samson", meaning "like the sun", and the Greek "Thea", or "goddess". This one is also extra fun because I have synesthesia and the colors of all of the letters in her name - it’s a very autumnal palette - are present in her customization! 

Amplexicaul, my Woodland Techo, is a term that describes a specific type of leaf; fitting, then, for a leaf-footed gecko!

HedleyKow, my lab rat (currently a Pastel Bruce, which is actually super cute), is named after a mischievous faerie tale elf whose most notable quality is shapeshifting to play harmless tricks on unsuspecting passersby; again, perfect for a pet whose entire purpose is to let me play around with the lab ray.
 
ETA Primordhia, my new Chomby as of Chomby Day, whose name comes from "primordial" for obvious reasons; I think I'll eventually paint her Relic!
 

I get annoyed easily and here's one of many things that annoys me on the neopets guild board.   There are a lot of good guilds advertising their lovely guilds and taking the time to bump their threads to the top of the page.  There's quite a few of them,  but still people keep posting threads "are there any active guilds out there?" or "looking for a guild' or 'guildless!!!!!1', or my favorite "recruit me!!".
Is this laziness? Narcissism? Idiocy in general?   I should probably just relax but my guild has put me in charge of recruitment and i'm just tired and annoyed with trying to convince ppl to join my guild.  don't make me chase you,  i just got my cast off and my leg hurts.  
ok,  done being annoyed for at least 5 minutes.  

Dang, yeah cats can be funny like that. It took our two cats like a month to get used to each other, before then they'd basically divided up the house and wouldn't go near each other. I'm glad to hear that he's doing alright, though!
A very french look, indeed! It is a lovely name, I originally offered on him (I think he was a lupe at the time?) because Giovanni's Room was one of those ~formative books~ for me growing up. Oddly though, it still took me a while to really get attached to him? Has that ever happened to anyone else? I went back and forth over whether or not to retrade him for like a good five or six months. But I'm thoroughly attached now, I've been trying to get him a gold petpet because I think it would be fun if his backstory was that he stole it and went on the run, and that's why he's skulking around Meridell instead of out on the open seas.

the fat, orange jerk ran away last august after my other cat had a litter of kittens.  his nose was out of joint and he took off.  there has been sightings of him around town and i've been told he's still fat so somebody must be feeding him.  
 
i had a RL cat named Giovanni and i love that name.  what comes to mind for me is a blumaroo dressed in a striped shirt and a beret, holding a ciggy.  an italian name but a french look lol  i really like the names you came up with.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo i'm SO (not) shocked! 😆

Update: I did not win. I'm sure you are all shocked by this revelation.

I'm curious about other ppl's choices for pet names.  Do you name your pets after RL pets? People?  Relatives?
here's mine so far
Tibotheus (main) - magma gnorbu named after my beloved cat Tibbotheus who one day said 'EFF YOU' and ran away.
Furbreezio - baby bruce - i just liked the sound of it.
Mootious - baby kau - he's a cow and cows go moo
Tidal_Waverson - water lutari - his tail looks like a wave 
Lady_Earl - christmas vandagyre - named after a baby cat i had named lady earl grey
Gaevriel - striped jetsam - well....how could i not? lol  i'm gonna make him a mutant some day
last but not least...
Carrol_Baskin - yellow kacheek - no explanation should be needed for this one. not sure what i'll paint or morph her into.

clearly you're a champion of the underdog 😆    here's hoping the stars align, harry potter says the magic words, the faeries bless you ALL AT ONCE and you win.
 
it could happen.  

So I was on a call with my friend while I was playing my food club bets, and incredibly distracted by the game she was streaming... anyway, long story short, I was NOT paying attention to whether the bets from the FCNC string actually matched up, and...
Well, I think something went just a bit wonky...

Look at those odds. Incredible.
Today's bets are obviously a wash, but at least I got a good laugh out of it! Anyone want to start a book on whether or not one of these will miraculously win?

yeah  i agree.  i've put a pair of pants on my gnorbu and instantly regretted it lol -
and wings definitely look better on the upright pets 

Banned for referencing a movie that won 7 oscars this year.

i like lutaris and rukis and grarrls.  not a huge fan of the buzz or chia or poogle pets.  also, i think i prefer pets that are upright more than the ones on all fours.  i might be weird.

Some of the fishing loot got added to the coincidence pool, so it is worth selling now! Waterfish are around 500np, and Landfish ar at 1k :0

Indeed! At 25 constant icons, "Varia is the Bomb" is nice! I'd love one for my gallery, but I'm not sure yet. The G-bomb has variable offense, up to 32 icons max if I recall correctly. So the Varia bomb would INDEED be a good in-betweener for you, especially for the time-being! But it's really up to you. The Shield of Faerieland was exciting to see, but again, due to the maximum number of points for collecting fragments, I don't know if I'd get it, even though it would save a fair bit of NP. I don't have any of the HT shields.
I plan on getting the Fyora TCG card, but I'm not sure how I'd break down the rest of the points yet.

This is something that I actually think is really important! I remember being frustrated as a kid that I wasn't very good at some parts of the site, like certain games, because inexperienced kid (lol). Now I'm a bona fide adult, and I have manual dexterity issues due to a medical condition. I think it's great that they're rewarding player commitment (logging in every day, doing a few clicks) over brute skill for this one. It's so much more accessible and it's fairly attainable for all Neopians. Amen to that!

i'm glad they made it easy.  i'm tired when i log into neopets so i'd rather not be scratching my head trying to figure something out.  and i suppose all ages and skill levels can do it.   the 'plot' is probably just an advert for the neopets game/app for mobile phones.  
i haven't given much thought about which prizes i want.  probably the bomb and shield.  the PB would be nice but the market will probably flood and they'll be affordable to buy with NPs for a while.
