Aw man. The Kora's pretty cool. I was hoping the Hydrus Kora would, in fact, have tentacle tails. Unforunately, the color of the tails is kind of flubbed...that dark brown makes it look like they were pasted on instead of an actual part of the creature. If it were done a little better, I'd probably aim to get it (you know, after getting mystical plushies and all).
And the Chai? Someone get me a vomit bag, please. Just... eeeeeewwwwww.

Hmm, I agree. It's the only part that catches my attention in a bad way. Maybe if they started out as the light brown of the body, but faded to the dark brown--I like that they have the same dark brown that's on the Kora's head, but the demarcation does seem a bit sharp.Xulael wrote:Aw man.

The Chai is utterly horrid - and irredeemably bad. *shoves it behind large object*
The Kora . . . I want to like it, and I do like parts of it, very much. The eyes are lovely, and I like the concept behind the ears - I only wish the area between the spines was semi-transparent. And I dearly wish that there was much more of the blue tracery on the body. It's one of my favorite parts of hydrus pets, and I think it would go very well on a softer pet like the Kora, but instead she went that route with the butch-acting Chai.
I'm not that fond of the Kora's stance either; the poor ickle thing is about to fall over. *catches it*
And as everyone has said, the tails seem far too dark and don't really work with the rest of the pet.
But for all I've criticized it, I do like it more than not, and won't mind seeing it about the site. The Chai, on the other hand, like Twofold said, the best thing that can be said for it is that I know I won't be zapping one.
Which actually means something to me, as I've just started zapping Orotha again - for more treasure, and just to see what he turns into. Much as I <3 chibi Sheetas, there are lots of other pets I heart as well, and I might as well give him a chance to change into one of those next. ^^

Well.. I was looking at the other Koras and realized that they all have that dark tails + helmet thing, but I think the problem with the Hydrus is probably that white tipping on the tails. The "helmet" frills have tan and cream, so it doesn't match the tails. It's weird. I think if they swapped that tan or white for one or the other, it would work better.AngharadTy wrote: Hmm, I agree.
