Re: Mutant Lutari

Oddly enough there's no known case of a multi-tailed mutation in a vertebrate, just multi-headed. You would think multi-headed is more difficult, but it has to do with the direction in which an embryo grows and splits! I could be wrong, but I've never found an example of a truly two-tailed chordate ...

Re: Mutant Lutari

BUT I AM HERE And it is nicely filthy and decrepit looking, also really sloth-like. It still could have used one overly large eyeball, or something, but all I actually dislike is that so many mutants are this same blue color scheme. What's with that? It's like the very least mutanty-color, and I don...

Re: Stealthy and Invisible Blumaroo

Dark blue actually is the stealthiest color in the dark; solid black is in fact easier to see than natural darkness.

Re: Transparent and Checkered Tuskaninnies

But pinnipeds such as seals, walruses and sea lions DO have bones in their "tails," which are literally their back feet :/ http://www.solarnavigator.net/animal_kingdom/animal_images/walrus_skeleton_pinniped.jpg And yeah, no reason for ribs to continue all the way to the tail, and the cheek...

Re: Transparent and Camouflage JubJub

I wouldn't have even given the jubjubs bones, just a big old brain and eyeballs.

Or just thousands of spiders.

Not like we've actually seen under their fur before.

Re: New color! Nostalgic

Oh my god The Aenoid I can't believe it took me almost a full second to recognize something I probably owned 500 times in my first ten years of living. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3644/5765216074_5d0c7dc9bf.jpg It's too bad I haven't seen the same kind ever since, just these simpler, cheaper model...

Re: Elderly Ogrin

I think it's cool, and applicable to tons of character archetypes; wizards, professors, sagely kung fu masters, even scary old hobos.

Re: Transparent & Electric Hissi

Transparent pets are just stylized, that's all. I'm pretty grateful we have neopets with visible intestines at all.

Re: Transparent and Eventide Chomby

I love transparent, but sometimes it shows how the pets were designed with no thought for anatomy at all...even a stylized cartoon character should have some sort of skeleton in mind, it's where an artist is supposed to start from. Why would the vertebrae fill up the entire neck anyway? Where would ...

Re: Halloween Grundo

Really cool, though the antennas should have been bones! Maybe not anatomically sound for a Grundo but it'd fit the theme.

Re: Mutant Chomby

When Tyrannia was FIRST introduced there were "Tyrannian" grarrls as characters and BD opponents...they were scalier, meaner looking grarrls and pretty awesome. Why would their native environments NOT feature unique subspecies of them and such? Not that a Tyrannian grarrl would look any go...

Re: Mutant Chomby

I like very much this style of Mutant, along with the Bruce and Tuskaninny. The Tuskaninny is one of my all-time favorites, but I find it totally different from this one. Tuskaninny is like the Blumaroo, moehog, koi and Gnorbu; it looks grimy and unhealthy, my favorite style for the mutants. I'd po...

Re: Mutant Chomby

Yeah, the fact that mutant and maraquan are the only surviving redraws with ANY creative leeway kinda hurts both colors. Things that might have been Darigan or Tyrannian in the past have nowhere else to go :( They really should add some new redraw colors, but I think some editorial somewhere gave so...

Re: Mutant Chomby

As usual, it's drawn nice but doesn't take any real advantage of being a mutant. Where's the artist who drew the Kau? :( I'd have made a mutant chomby's whole head into a giant eyestalk, or its tail as an extra identical head. With so few pets left to become mutants I want to see something new and c...

Re: Mutant Day Predictions

Mutants that really impress me have been few and far between since the old days...I'm hoping the artist this year will go for gruesome instead of an overly colorful and "cool" mutant. I came to love the Ogrin but it's still not a mutant I'd get myself... Both the poogle and wocky would hav...
