Mutant Acara

[AngharadTy]

Wow. That is amazing. Mutants can be so great on Neo. This is a shining example of how good Neopets can still be.

[Darigan]

It took me some time to notice it was a new Mutant. The moment I saw it I thought it was a brand new colour and was very excited. It would have been great to have other pets in this style.

[Goldenchaos]

It would make an awesome stand-alone colour...like..a corrupted space faerie energy colour. :O

[TraditionsRule]

I thought Acara already had a Mutant color...it was like an octopus or something.

It's quite spectacular, really. Great design with life added to a previously lifless, repetitive pose. I like how the horns curve and the paws.

I don't really like it as a mutant. It doesn't fit what I consider a mutated version of an animal- animals don't start spouting dark, flamey matter out of their joints regardless of their exposure to chemicals/radiation. I'd love to see it as a standalone color, though. It would be amazing.

The octopus one would be the Maraquan Acara:



The new Mutant Acara doesn't look much like a mutant, but I don't care what they call it... I'm just glad it exists. What a neat-looking pet.

it looks like it just came out of SPAWN comics

[Scythemantis]

This should have been a totally new color, instead of spending another precious mutant slot on something that doesn't look very mutanty :[

If not the Maraquan, maybe you were thinking of this unofficial one?


I really really like this. I definitely scanned the news in hopes of it being a new color, because it doesn't look at all mutant. It does, however, look gorgeous. It may actually be the future color of a pet I haven't found a good match for since the UC Mara Krawk. But I feel like she'd be good as a bit feline, with scary auras and extremely stylized anatomy.

Somehow with the line about Xandra's missing glasses, I was hoping it'd be a plot related color, some Anti-Faerie Curse potion. Alas, but I think I'm still glad it exists. Lovely art, unique concept and design. I'd like to see more along those lines.

I love the glowing features surrounded by a wraith-like face, they're unlike anything we've seen before and would make an awesome new colour some day. It looks properly evil.

That said, the rest of the pet just doesn't seem to gel - the bone and horns look good in isolation but the rest of the Acara's body looks a bit like a plucked and roasted chicken. I realise that Mutant pets are not supposed to look pretty, as such, but I really don't know whether I like this one or not. A shame because the dark bits are awesome.

Oh woops, the old style's colour scheme always made me think maraquan was a mutant.

[Faun]

I really, really love this. I think I may have to go create a new pet so that I can get one of these.

[Plushie Lenny]

i don't know what to think of this

Its like a cross between a bolt of cyber space dust, the space faerie and a horned red grizzly bear!

i don't knowwwwwwwwwwww

[Huggles]

They've added another trio of horns going right down the middle of its head. I don't like them. They're way too crowded and completely unnecessary. They also make the reddish brown fur standout even more as an oddity against the dark blue.

[Cranberry]

Dammit, I don't like it now. The face is still awesome, but the three new horns ruined it.

Oh well, at least I don't need one now.

[Kamil]

Well fuck me. >.< Whoever had the bright idea of adding the horns on needs to be not in charge of making these decisions anymore.

Oh well, like Cranberry said, at least I don't need one anymore.
