New pet: Xotl
New pet: Xotl
Common Xotl
The Other Colors
Dusk ~ Field ~ Arid ~ Cream ~ Dawn
Gold ~ Lilac ~ Marsh ~ Twilight ~ Sun
Nuclear ~ Scribble
My Opinion
It looks to me like they're a cross between a tadpole and a full-grown frog. I like the idea, and I love the art, but for some reason the hind legs look strange to me and make me think part of the back is missing. I'm sure I'll get used to that though. I love their faces, and I can't way to see the redraw colors.

Re: Xotl Colors
Ahh, I've wanted another reptile pet for so long and this one is very promising! I'd get one in a heartbeat if it had the body of a lizard rather than a frog, but perhaps future redraws will change my mind. I love how some color schemes look like real frogs--Field is modeled after one, right? Don't know much about froggies. I just love this guy's snakeish face.

Re: Xotl Colors
The only thing I don't like about these are the weird horn-ear things. I feel like they don't suit the pet at all.
Other than that, good stuff! Cute face, like the little toes, and I like the colors and the spots. In fact, my favorite color so far for this pet is Common, because it just looks so nice! I do like how all of the colors for this pet have nice variations on the feet and basically aren't two-to-three shades of the same color like other pets.
Also, props to making a pet that isn't furry, mammalian, or is an Illumis on crack.
(and Cyro, frogs are amphibians. xD *shot*)

Re: Xotl Colors
I know, but since it's a mix of things I just called it a reptile.
Oh yeah, the Field is a Red Eyed Tree Frog. It's nice that the artist was given some leeway and allowed to use some blue instead of sticking to the (usually bland) field palette.

Re: Xotl Colors
As always cream is pretty and I like Nuclear too.
But I agree that a lizard, or even better chameleon like tail would have been even greater. It would have nicely balanced out the rather large head.
Still, I love the expression on this new pets face.

Re: New pet: Xotl
I'm not sure if I like it lol. I don't dislike it, but I think it may be one of those pets I'm just indifferent too. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before and it's driving me crazy since I can't remember what it reminds me of!
Of these, I think Scribble is freaking adorable. I also really like the Common and Twilight colors. Some of the redraws should be interesting for these guys,

Re: New pet: Xotl
I'd consider this a reptile over an amphibian, haha. The nose reminds me of a python nose more than any frog or such that I've seen, and I love how it's a bunch of different reptiles put together.
I also love how it has BRIGHT poison dart frog and tree frog colors - they really, really pop!

Re: New pet: Xotl
o.o .... I'm in love! I love frogs so this is an instant win for me. It's just so damn cute. And I like how it's a mixture of reptile/amphibians. I love all the colours it comes in, even the colours I never like. They are just so bright and well colour coded. Oh yes, so getting one in the future. I can't wait to see redraws for these cute little guys. XD

Re: New pet: Xotl
Scribble made me giggle, but otherwise I'm not impressed with this pet. The back legs are... strange. It's almost borderline experiment, imo.
Re: New pet: Xotl
...This pet is obviously based on an axolotl.

...but Axolotls don't leave their tadpole form. Which is why I didn't think about it before.
You wanna see something OBVIOUSLY based on an axolotl?

Re: New pet: Xotl
This is a Rah pet, and she had this to say over on Subeta:
So it's not "obviously" any one thing.And just so you guys know, this pet is a total mix up of frog/tree frog/axolotl/gecko/snake/chameleon. Tried to do something completely original with it, the special recolours should be fun!

Re: New pet: Xotl
Mod hat on - Even if it did look exactly like an axolotl (and as Cranberry pointed out, the artist herself isn't categorizing it as solely that), the rudeness there was unnecessary, Bonkers.
Mod hat off - I think the scribble is hilarious and adorable, and field and twilight are particularly nice. I'm looking forward to the recolors!

Re: New pet: Xotl
Froggie!!!! Yes! I love frogs so much, I am not sure how Ali and I started collecting frog stuff...but it ended up with two of our main characters adopting a frog named Steve, now all frogs are called Steves to me ^_^
Must force Ali to make a Steve pet!

Re: New pet: Xotl
I'm guessing you were going to finish that statement with "am I?" and I'm sorry to say that yes, yes you are. It's okay though. We don't discriminate against those less fortunate in that regard....This pet is obviously based on an axolotl.

As for the pet, I agree that it would look more balanced with a tail. The large snake-lipped head doesn't fit with the tiny nub bottom. I do like the colors and I'm glad it's not your typically cute catdogbunny creature. And I think the things on its head are either gills or frills, so it doesn't have wings either.
