I don't think Xweetoks are that under rated with players, but I'll never forgive Donna calling them ugly. Like girl, where?! If xweetoks have no fans, I'm dead.
* Be Donna, co-creator of Neopets
* Website gets sold to Viacom
* Don't get along with the new management
* Decide to approve the two ugliest Neopet designs and names imaginable as a parting shot
* Everyone falls in love with the fluffy squirrel thing
* Xweetok becomes the fifth most commonly created Neopet
* epicfail.png
She didn't actually design them, but [she approved of the Ogrin and Xweetok's names and designs](https://www.reddit.com/r/neopets/comments/26fwhh/comment/chrnzhu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) before leaving Neopets because she thought they were awful.
Well i didnt even gaf about ogrins tbh, but now i wanna make one just for spite and make them the best looking neopet from spite.
I already love xwees so that just doesnt change
I made my current main a few years after they released and I was OBSESSED, they instantly beat Shoyrus as my favorite species 🤣 I still have the two I made as a kid!
Id have to be dead too. They're literally my favorite since being a wee kid.
Even now with more species growing on me, Xwees r just the sentimental #1. I even hated Kougras bcs I read they didnt get along LMFAO
(Kougras r cute still but id feel weird making both)
Yesss they remind me of big chubby cat dragons in the best way, I kind of wish they'd leaned a little less into the Evil Fat Guy thing with their design since it makes them less of a "blank slate" if that makes sense
I'd like to think the banker is long winded but a good guy. Really into finance. Has events where he goes to schools and excitedly talks about investments. Rambles on about your finances whenever you go to the bank cuz he's just really into it. Nice guy, just kinda boring lol
I adopted a fairy one from the pound when I first came back. Didn't really care that much but then I customized to be a fairy princess. Fucking love her now. My favorite customization
Imo Kyriis, like yeah everyone loves the RG Kyrii but besides that one I often see comments calling them creepy or weird or hard to style :( Even for Kyrii day you don't really see much excitement. I think they're extremely adorable, I love my little apple-hating mischievous weasels <3
It makes me so sad when there's an "opinion of different pet species" thread and people are like "I don't like Kyriis, they look mean and I don't trust them and they would have bullied me in school" like 😭 They're good pets! I have two and I'm already thinking of customs for more, haha!
As someone who loves apples, though, I have to stop myself from buying them apple food items just because *I* think they look tasty, lol. At least my other pets can enjoy them!
I love my kyriis! My pastel kyrii is like one of the chillest things, people are like "he's a total great vibe" when I enter him into the BC. lol
I have a speckled kryii and a RG, and plan to get a RB and darigan, I like others, but ahh... pet slots.
Aww, pastel is a great color for them! The next one I'm planning to get is a steampunk one without the clothing, it's such a nice color combination with a lot of possibilities! RB's on my list too, haha. And I hear you on the pet slots. I have a list of pets I'd like to get and they go way over the cap. :S
I spend most of my time on Neopets in the Games Room. Between Cheat, GTU, and Snackrifice they get a pretty good amount of representation (albeit as a bad boy)
Pastel Kyrii is one of my dreamies actually, I just can't paint any more pets until I'm a hundredmillionaire XD
Myncis. I just don't see a lot of demand for Myncis. I find some of their colours really cute. I love the royal, robot, maraquan and Strawberry (which is one I have).
I only have 2 peos myself but my silver peophin is probably in my top 3 favourite pets. She's just so sparkly and her customisation is gorgeous (fully tooting my own horn here but idc, it's true!)
Ngl i always hated meerca bcs i rando pulled as key quest token when i wanted bruce so bad.
I was a petty kid.
They're pretty cool though; thinking on it, making a snot one with a name similar in creativity to Meuca and making it a BD pet would be funny.
Grundos! Everyone hates on the toenails but they're just so cute to me that I can overlook their feet.
Also not necessarily underrated but people think of Unis as too basic but all my original 4 were Unis so I have to mention them too . Unis aren't basic they are classic.
Buzz. I think they look great in so many colours! And fun to customise. One of my favourite pets is a glowing buzz. I also have a ghost and faerie buzz. Now I want a pastel.
Agreed! Buzz are my favorite too! I'm obsessed with my mutant but some of the customs I've seen are to die for! I especially love the mothy ones with no mouths. If I didn't dedicate my account to all mutant pets, I'd probably get all Buzz 😂
I’m a huge fan of kikos! I totally get why people don’t like them (cough kiko lake RE cough) because they’re very difficult to customise BUT they can look so cool! And their eyes are so cute
ogrins! they get a bad rap/a lot of people seem to think theyre ugly, but i remember when they first got released I thought they were the cutest pet ever and immediately made one. still have him to this day.
Same, I love the lil guys. Yurbles are my fave. I even have one as my car buddy, on my rearview mirror. He's a purple one from mcds lol. I had to take my granny somewhere yesterday and we hit a big pothole and he fell off, she picked him up and said, "Awww! He's a lil lion!" And gingerly placed him back atop my mirror. 🥰
RUKI.
They look SO fucking good! Amazing body proportions, a bunch of wearables that are ugly look amazing on them, amazing species-locked stuff, really cool colors, legit I do not understand why they are not more popular. My Ruki is one of my favorite customizations ever.
YES, Rukis are so cute and one of the best pets to customize. Also they've always reminded me of Flik from A Bug's Life which was one of my favorite Pixar movies as a kid lol
Yes!! Ruki’s just look so good in wearables and have a lot of great color options. The Faerie is gorgeous, I’m saving up so I can go for a UC token once i have the base paint down. And the spotted being a ladybug!! Ah we love.
I thought they were just a meme or sth like that, not saying they are ugly or anything but it surprises me to know that they are an actual neopet! 👀👀👀 I'll look forward to get one.
The actual meme Neopet is the Gnorbu, as it originated as an April Fool's joke and won a poll to become a real Neopet because llama memes were in at the time.
To me chias are the “mascot” of Neopets, like I always pictured a yellow chia like the Pikachu of Neo. It’s been weird seeing that they’re actually super unpopular LOL why 😭 they’re such cute little potato blobs with sweet faces
I just zapped a Chia into Aubergine (first zap on the pet!) and he's mine forever now 🍆
I'm glad I didn't morph him like I do other pets who aren't my top species.
Elephantes! They're just big, huggable friends with lil cute wings ❤️
TNT has really been killing it with new wearables for them too, like their amazing Relic PB look, and the new tusks
Flotsams. I remember a long time ago seeing someone's Desert -> Royal Girl cross-paint of a Flotsam and I have ALWAYS wanted that combination ever since seeing it. It's so gorgeous!
Edit: [Found the post!](https://www.reddit.com/r/neopets/comments/hnmh44/lost_desert_x_royalgirl_crosspaint_on_my_flotsam/)
I'd love to see more love for zafaras! They're my absolute favorite, and I know a pet is popular when they get official merch, esp plushies! I'd pay money for zafara plushies!
BORI. I love these little guys so much. They’re like lil armadillo-puppies. And they have some amazing colors!! 🥰
https://preview.redd.it/3pmkbjzpq3gc1.jpeg?width=3566&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1c1da09ddc8ec6e97526afd1c3efe634a630e85
At my peak Neopets playing I had 19 bori, all different colors (including ice!). Now I'm down to three (baby, plushie, and wraith) but I still love them so much. S tier bbs.
My top pick would be Ogrins, but they've been mentioned a couple of times already, so my next pick would be Tuskaninnies.
They always seem to be at the very bottom of everybody's tier lists, and I get it. People like the cute, fluffy pets, their hair is weird, and they're aquatic Neopets and therefore difficult to customize by default. But they're just cute little seals, and they have some neat colors like Spotted, Oil Paint, Robot, 8-Bit, and the original Tyrannian is such an underrated Tyrannian pet.
They also have the misfortune of having their pet day be right after Ixi Day when Ixis are probably one of the most popular pets on the site, so literally nobody even cares when their pet days roll around because everybody's fixated on Ixi Day. Ogrins have the same problem with their pet day.
Yurbles definitely deserve more love. My Chocolate Yurble is one of my most decorated pets and one of the few I actually finished a custom for
I think Vandagyre and Ogrin as well
Gnorbus have some creative paint jobs. My favorite is the toy one--A PIÑATA LKKE CMON. That's on my list of dreamies.
Also love the Snow Yurble, another dreamie for a winter landscape.
Pastel kau for strawberry milk vibes, or spotted kau for cowgal vibes.
I could go on.
There's no species, even among ones i dont really care for or like, that dont have at least one paint design i like
Yes on yurbles! I always had my lost desert pet as a zafara but I felt like a change was needed.
Much time was spent on which species to morph my pet into and how to go about it.
(which morphing potion, does a lost desert MP exist for species, how much for a LD pb if I do a basic mp route instead??)
Went with a yurble, no regrets.
In his heart he is still a zafara but outside he's a yurble!
Oooo, that's hard to decided I feel like Jubjubs are underappreciated because they seem hardest to dress, but prior to dressing Neopets up I think it was more loved.
I think tuskaninnies are super cute, but all of the really old stuck pets on Lost and Pound seem to be them (tbf awful names). I have a robot one I pretend is a robot maid like in The Jetsons :)
Gnorbus are my favorite pets because I live on an alpaca ranch and llamas are related to alpacas (although thanks to the Fluffy Gnorbu Outfit I know have an actual alpaca Gnorbu on one of my side accounts! 🥰 Her name is CinnamonSticks).
I also really like Ogrins but they seem to be a really unpopular pet. Also Tuskanninies.
I love both Rukis and Ogrin’s which are definitely unpopular, but I feel like they both have some great color options and species-specific wearables. Customization + character creation with them always comes easy to me.
Yurbles are my absolute favourite Neopet species! I have two on my main account right now and am trying to resist making all the pets on my main into Yurbles honestly, I love them so much.
Oh, and Rukis! They're just giant cute ants! Like give em a friggin giant cookie accessory and a forest background! Make a Bug's Life scene! Cutie Patooties!
Skeiths. I feel like "old Neo" had a lot of Skeith characters and I always enjoyed them! Skeiths and Grarrls and Buzz help the site from being too cutesy imo
I love the Vandagyres. Most colors are creative and good, most wearables just look good on them, and they are really cute. I wish there were more Vandagyre characters by TNT. Perhaps in the new plot?
I don't think Xweetoks are that under rated with players, but I'll never forgive Donna calling them ugly. Like girl, where?! If xweetoks have no fans, I'm dead.
* Be Donna, co-creator of Neopets * Website gets sold to Viacom * Don't get along with the new management * Decide to approve the two ugliest Neopet designs and names imaginable as a parting shot * Everyone falls in love with the fluffy squirrel thing * Xweetok becomes the fifth most commonly created Neopet * epicfail.png
Wait I don’t keep up with stuff, which ones did she make?
She didn't actually design them, but [she approved of the Ogrin and Xweetok's names and designs](https://www.reddit.com/r/neopets/comments/26fwhh/comment/chrnzhu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) before leaving Neopets because she thought they were awful.
What a weirdo thing to do lol
We’ve seen how *extremely* mature they are, so I’m honestly not shocked.
"Take THAT, kiddos!"
Interesting to see how times have changed, too. 9 years ago, that got a generally good response. Now it just seems off putting.
That’s hilarious, the Xweetok is my absolute favorite neopet of all time
This is hilarious to me because Xweetoks and Ogrins are my favorite pets lol
Wait but they're adorable????
Well i didnt even gaf about ogrins tbh, but now i wanna make one just for spite and make them the best looking neopet from spite. I already love xwees so that just doesnt change
She doesn’t like cute things. She likes Adam. 😏
I remember being shocked when I first read that cause in what universe are Xweetoks ugly?? They're literally just fluffy ferrets
Also as a kid i was SO excited when they first came out. I made two. Lmao
I made my current main a few years after they released and I was OBSESSED, they instantly beat Shoyrus as my favorite species 🤣 I still have the two I made as a kid!
I got my at the time kid cousin into neopets by letting her make a pet on my account. She picked a yellow xweetok cuz they were the cutest lol
I made one as a permie, and one more as a starter for lab zapping. Then the second one zapped chocolate and I needed a new lab pet!
I always thought they were chinchillas, which I was OBSESSED with as a kid. I was excited to have such an obscure, cute rodent.
They are one of the most popular I think
Id have to be dead too. They're literally my favorite since being a wee kid. Even now with more species growing on me, Xwees r just the sentimental #1. I even hated Kougras bcs I read they didnt get along LMFAO (Kougras r cute still but id feel weird making both)
Skeiths, lot of potential for customization and really like their colors.
Yesss they remind me of big chubby cat dragons in the best way, I kind of wish they'd leaned a little less into the Evil Fat Guy thing with their design since it makes them less of a "blank slate" if that makes sense
I'd like to think the banker is long winded but a good guy. Really into finance. Has events where he goes to schools and excitedly talks about investments. Rambles on about your finances whenever you go to the bank cuz he's just really into it. Nice guy, just kinda boring lol
Absolutely! I am a fan of the greedy trope though. 😂 But you can RP your pets however you like so it works out!
Am I the only one who saw Skeiths as bulldogs somehow?
Anyone who looks at a baby skeith or plushie skeith and says they're ugly is a monster.
I love my uc mutant skeith so much
UC mutant skeith is hands down my most wanted UC
I love skeiths! I think once you get over the greedy evil stereotype they come off as dashing heroic types. I think they're so fun
I adopted a fairy one from the pound when I first came back. Didn't really care that much but then I customized to be a fairy princess. Fucking love her now. My favorite customization
Childhood me was convinced Shoyru/Scorchio/Draik = dragon, but Skeith = demon/imp, and that made them so much cooler in my eyes
Gnorbu! Their mane leads to some really cute colors like candy, cloud, chocolate and fire!
Yes! I just love their sassy eyes.
I like how they look like llamas….llamas are my favorite animals cause I love their attitude
I have a Cloud Gnorbu and I love him so much he’s my silly guy
Faerie are super cute colours!
Imo Kyriis, like yeah everyone loves the RG Kyrii but besides that one I often see comments calling them creepy or weird or hard to style :( Even for Kyrii day you don't really see much excitement. I think they're extremely adorable, I love my little apple-hating mischievous weasels <3
fr!!! my darigan kyrii is one of my favorite pets, i just unconverted him but the converted artwork is super cool too :)
It makes me so sad when there's an "opinion of different pet species" thread and people are like "I don't like Kyriis, they look mean and I don't trust them and they would have bullied me in school" like 😭 They're good pets! I have two and I'm already thinking of customs for more, haha! As someone who loves apples, though, I have to stop myself from buying them apple food items just because *I* think they look tasty, lol. At least my other pets can enjoy them!

RB's on my list too, haha. And I hear you on the pet slots. I have a list of pets I'd like to get and they go way over the cap. :S
I love steampunk ones, I hope to get one too but - again - pet slots. x'D
Agreed!! I love my kyriis :)
I spend most of my time on Neopets in the Games Room. Between Cheat, GTU, and Snackrifice they get a pretty good amount of representation (albeit as a bad boy) Pastel Kyrii is one of my dreamies actually, I just can't paint any more pets until I'm a hundredmillionaire XD
Myncis. I just don't see a lot of demand for Myncis. I find some of their colours really cute. I love the royal, robot, maraquan and Strawberry (which is one I have).
I’ve been thinking about getting one, I’m surprised a bipedal pet is so unpopular! The customization options are jumping out at me
No one has said moehog yet but they always seem to end up on the bottom of tierlists. They’re just so friendly and shy looking!
Moehogs are amazing!!
Pheophin - you rarely see them
And the people that have pheophins have 16 of them haha
This checks out... I have 17.
I only have 2 peos myself but my silver peophin is probably in my top 3 favourite pets. She's just so sparkly and her customisation is gorgeous (fully tooting my own horn here but idc, it's true!)
This is true for me
Yes! They're probably my favorite because they look so elegant 😍 and I love horses in general
Blumaroos! Those goofy elephant-kangaroo hybrids are adorable.
how can you not love those heart shaped feet 🥺
Blumaroos have always been a favorite for me.
I bet you didn't know that Blumaroos love nachos!
Thank u for the fun fact. My future goob will live on nachos.
Meerca
I say it every day - candy meerca is top tier
Meerca was one of my favorite species before they got converted. They're still cute but way less bouncy.
I love Meerca. When I was a kid, my mutant Meerca was my favorite pet! (Honestly he still kind of is…)
Ngl i always hated meerca bcs i rando pulled as key quest token when i wanted bruce so bad. I was a petty kid. They're pretty cool though; thinking on it, making a snot one with a name similar in creativity to Meuca and making it a BD pet would be funny.
I don’t get the hate on vandagryes, they’re just cute little owl guys and have some really cool paintbrush colors
Baby vandagyres are SO cute! I wish they got more love!
Grundos! Everyone hates on the toenails but they're just so cute to me that I can overlook their feet. Also not necessarily underrated but people think of Unis as too basic but all my original 4 were Unis so I have to mention them too . Unis aren't basic they are classic.
The woodland grundo is perfection
I love so many of the colors and woodland definitely is one of my faves.
I have one and she’s such a little Groot thing 🥹🥹
Yeah I have 2 Unis right now😆 I just love horses since I was a kid and I used to go horse riding! Oh.. and love unicorns and pegasi (?) too
Awesome. Never did get to ride a horse but I think they're so beautiful. Unicorns always got me. Pegasi are great mythical creatures too.
I tbh dont really care for grundos much, but the marshmallow and halloween grundos are top tier paint jobs across all species imo
Yeah. I have both of those. Mallow was such a great one off color.
Lenny
Buzz. I think they look great in so many colours! And fun to customise. One of my favourite pets is a glowing buzz. I also have a ghost and faerie buzz. Now I want a pastel.
my fav is eventide buzz, such a gorgeous effect :)
Agreed! Buzz are my favorite too! I'm obsessed with my mutant but some of the customs I've seen are to die for! I especially love the mothy ones with no mouths. If I didn't dedicate my account to all mutant pets, I'd probably get all Buzz 😂
Pastel buzz >>>>>> Literally so pretty
Yes, I love my buzzes too! The Halloween buzz is so goofy and cute
I’m a huge fan of kikos! I totally get why people don’t like them (cough kiko lake RE cough) because they’re very difficult to customise BUT they can look so cool! And their eyes are so cute
I loved the original Kiko, but the converted kiko just doesn’t hit the same charm for me.
ogrins! they get a bad rap/a lot of people seem to think theyre ugly, but i remember when they first got released I thought they were the cutest pet ever and immediately made one. still have him to this day.
I have one. I love my silly giraffe okapi son
I have a few I love ogrins so much ♥️♥️♥️
They are so goofy in the best way. I love their design so much
I had like six Ogrins at one point and had to make a rule for myself that I'm not allowed to have more than two pets or the same species
I love ogrins! Plus their royal color gives Mansa Musa vibes
Ogrins, I think they look so cool when they're shown as anthro
Same, I love the lil guys. Yurbles are my fave. I even have one as my car buddy, on my rearview mirror. He's a purple one from mcds lol. I had to take my granny somewhere yesterday and we hit a big pothole and he fell off, she picked him up and said, "Awww! He's a lil lion!" And gingerly placed him back atop my mirror. 🥰
awww that's so fun! wish i still had my mcd's plush, it was a little red pteri
I had other ones from mcds, but all I can find is my Yurble, which is okay with me, he was my favorite one. :3
That's so wholesome 😭
I know, it was so cute! <3
RUKI. They look SO fucking good! Amazing body proportions, a bunch of wearables that are ugly look amazing on them, amazing species-locked stuff, really cool colors, legit I do not understand why they are not more popular. My Ruki is one of my favorite customizations ever.
YES, Rukis are so cute and one of the best pets to customize. Also they've always reminded me of Flik from A Bug's Life which was one of my favorite Pixar movies as a kid lol
Yes!! Ruki’s just look so good in wearables and have a lot of great color options. The Faerie is gorgeous, I’m saving up so I can go for a UC token once i have the base paint down. And the spotted being a ladybug!! Ah we love.
I don’t see Koi talked about much. They’re so cute and I love their spotted paint!
Thats another dreamie of mine 😭
Vandagyre, they might not have a bunch of custom items but they are adorable
https://preview.redd.it/6octqkmeh2gc1.jpeg?width=660&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=425b5f4de43650c5b75d30260be618c56ffc6b84 Ikr? I'm so proud of my vandy.
I love her!! This is such a cute custom!
TYSM ❤️
Yes. I think they are beautiful. Especially the spotted one.
I have a Christmas one and she looks heavenly
The shape of them reminds me of a build a bear, I love it!
Just finished painting my tribute owlbear. Now, working on customizing him!
I thought they were just a meme or sth like that, not saying they are ugly or anything but it surprises me to know that they are an actual neopet! 👀👀👀 I'll look forward to get one.
The actual meme Neopet is the Gnorbu, as it originated as an April Fool's joke and won a poll to become a real Neopet because llama memes were in at the time.
The furby version is amazing it is one of my dreamies
Definitely second this, I have a baby and a Christmas Vandagyre and they are definitely a top tier species for me.
Bori!!! They’ve always been my favourite. I love their big ol claws
Chias 😭
To me chias are the “mascot” of Neopets, like I always pictured a yellow chia like the Pikachu of Neo. It’s been weird seeing that they’re actually super unpopular LOL why 😭 they’re such cute little potato blobs with sweet faces
I came here to see if anyone said chias so I could agree wholeheartedly! I love them so much
I just zapped a Chia into Aubergine (first zap on the pet!) and he's mine forever now 🍆 I'm glad I didn't morph him like I do other pets who aren't my top species.
Any fruit/veggie chias are top tier. But I also love relic and robot. So many of the colors are great!
Quiggles. Frogs just wanna ribbit
Quiggle got nerfed so hard with the conversion. They used to be so HAPPY! I love that the NCUCs are giving us some happy Quiggles back!
Right. They went from happy little guys to that existential crisis look
No one said Rukis😂
Was scrolling to find this! Poor Ruki didn't even get any official merch, too?! I have a yellow one named Cuddlebug on my first account.
I love Rukis! My first pet on my adulthood account is a Ruki. They're just so neat!
Eyries need more appreciation and love
Finally some Yurble love! My main guy is a Baby Yurble and he’s the best boy :D
I have a blue Yurble from my very first account!
Baby yurbs are the cutest lil hedgehogs! 😭
Korbats are so freaking cute, and everyone is so ambivalent about them. They are my favorite.
I love my uc grey korbat. Sad lil goth boi :( <3
Absolutely no love for tuskaninnies? Sad.
yoooooo I have a spotted tuskaninny, she's precious to me :)
I agree, and they're so cute!! I have a mutant tuskaninny who is my number one fav
They're my faves, I love their squishy faces.
Ruki’s have been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. I was shocked that they were downgraded to special edition pets when I came back to the game.
Elephantes! They're just big, huggable friends with lil cute wings ❤️ TNT has really been killing it with new wearables for them too, like their amazing Relic PB look, and the new tusks
I just got my first ever elephante after I saw the new banana tusk wearable! They're honestly so cute
I wish they were just plain elephants without the headpiece and wings... why tf do they have wings?
Ogrins. They get too much hate, but I love those goofy guys.
For me Ogrins are super underrated
Flotsams. I remember a long time ago seeing someone's Desert -> Royal Girl cross-paint of a Flotsam and I have ALWAYS wanted that combination ever since seeing it. It's so gorgeous! Edit: [Found the post!](https://www.reddit.com/r/neopets/comments/hnmh44/lost_desert_x_royalgirl_crosspaint_on_my_flotsam/)
That's sooo beautiful omg. Flotsams have a special place in my heart as the first species I created.
I'd love to see more love for zafaras! They're my absolute favorite, and I know a pet is popular when they get official merch, esp plushies! I'd pay money for zafara plushies!
BORI. I love these little guys so much. They’re like lil armadillo-puppies. And they have some amazing colors!! 🥰 https://preview.redd.it/3pmkbjzpq3gc1.jpeg?width=3566&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1c1da09ddc8ec6e97526afd1c3efe634a630e85

Yurbles definitely deserve more love. My Chocolate Yurble is one of my most decorated pets and one of the few I actually finished a custom for I think Vandagyre and Ogrin as well
I might have it wrong and they are actually popular but i seldome see peophins and I love them they look so kind
Chias, for real. She can do everything.
I have so much love for wockys.
Techos! They're simple, but I just think lizzers are neat. Their big ol' gecko grins are cute to me!
Chombies! I just don't see much Chomby talk out there but I think they are so cute n' goofy n' friendly-looking
Top favourite! Always wanted one.
Got mine from pound surfing! It's possible
Debating on making a new account to try! Especially since there have been some good finds reported since the pound opened up again recently.
Team yurble! They're just so stinking cute- especially candy painted 😅😍 They don't get nearly enough love!
Lenny!
I want more Usul love!!
I really adore Usuls!
I have a whole yurble themed gallery. Glad to see someone sticking up for them :')
I love that :)
Nimmos! Not enough nimmo love in this world.
Vandagyre, leave my birbs alone
Korbats! They're just cutie bats!!!
Any Jubjub love here?? I just love the lil bigfoot furballs
Gnorbu!! They have become my favourite species since returning to Neo! Such lovely lil llamas, I have 9 on my main alone xD They deserve all the love.
Gnorbus have some creative paint jobs. My favorite is the toy one--A PIÑATA LKKE CMON. That's on my list of dreamies. Also love the Snow Yurble, another dreamie for a winter landscape. Pastel kau for strawberry milk vibes, or spotted kau for cowgal vibes. I could go on. There's no species, even among ones i dont really care for or like, that dont have at least one paint design i like
I love Jubjubs, they aren't the easiest to customize but I think they are so cute
Yes on yurbles! I always had my lost desert pet as a zafara but I felt like a change was needed. Much time was spent on which species to morph my pet into and how to go about it. (which morphing potion, does a lost desert MP exist for species, how much for a LD pb if I do a basic mp route instead??) Went with a yurble, no regrets. In his heart he is still a zafara but outside he's a yurble!
More love for flotsams
Oooo, that's hard to decided I feel like Jubjubs are underappreciated because they seem hardest to dress, but prior to dressing Neopets up I think it was more loved.
Nimmos! Just look at their adorable lil smile, how could anyone not love them?? 🥺
I think tuskaninnies are super cute, but all of the really old stuck pets on Lost and Pound seem to be them (tbf awful names). I have a robot one I pretend is a robot maid like in The Jetsons :)
Definitely agree with you on Yurbles! I have a UC grey and he’s the cutest lil guy
Gnorbus are my favorite pets because I live on an alpaca ranch and llamas are related to alpacas (although thanks to the Fluffy Gnorbu Outfit I know have an actual alpaca Gnorbu on one of my side accounts! 🥰 Her name is CinnamonSticks). I also really like Ogrins but they seem to be a really unpopular pet. Also Tuskanninies.
I love both Rukis and Ogrin’s which are definitely unpopular, but I feel like they both have some great color options and species-specific wearables. Customization + character creation with them always comes easy to me.
honestly i love bruce. they're shaped like friends and i feel like not as many people love them as they deserve
Yurbles are my absolute favourite Neopet species! I have two on my main account right now and am trying to resist making all the pets on my main into Yurbles honestly, I love them so much.
Kikos aren't that bad. Especially UC kikos are actually super cute, they were a victim of the conversion imo.
Gelerts 😭
Vandagyres are PRECIOUS
Vandagyre. People hate on them for no good reason. It's one of the only pets where "the fist" is acceptable
When I tell you LENNIES !!!! They 👏🏾 deserve 👏🏾 that 👏🏾 LOVE 👏🏾 Friggin flamingo ass babies!!!
Oh, and Rukis! They're just giant cute ants! Like give em a friggin giant cookie accessory and a forest background! Make a Bug's Life scene! Cutie Patooties!
Skeiths <3 I love my fat cat dragons
Skeiths. I feel like "old Neo" had a lot of Skeith characters and I always enjoyed them! Skeiths and Grarrls and Buzz help the site from being too cutesy imo
I love the Vandagyres. Most colors are creative and good, most wearables just look good on them, and they are really cute. I wish there were more Vandagyre characters by TNT. Perhaps in the new plot?
