* The 203rd edition of the Neopian Times is now live. Look out for great articles and stories such as Skies Over Meridell: the Complete Guide and Fuzzle--to Be Or Not to Be?.

Marshmallow Grundo!
That means there will be more marshmallow pets coming, and maybe even a marshmallow day!
My email has been read. 
(Too good to be true.)

Funny how they mention a [real life] Spotted Gelert plushie, but not the pink poogle which is shown there.
Marshmellow Grundo is pretty cool. I wonder if they are planning to release it in other species as well.

I really hope they leave Marshmalow a Grundo only colour - it is too 1337 for words

I wonder why they started making Marshmallow related things...?
Maybe they got the idea after the whole fake Marshmallow World thing. Maybe we'll actually get a marshmallow world.. xD

I doubt there will be any more marshmallow pets, it's great they developed the marshmallow grundo into a pet though And awesome to have another species specific lab only colour that isn't chia.

Am I the only one who thinks that the Grundo looks like it has water spots on it?

Wow a marshmallow grundo, what will TNT think of next. It's okay, I know someone in my guild who really wants one.

i think it would be extremely cool if we could feed marshmallow grundos and they would turn into it. That would be so cool...
