Previously released in languages other than English...but now updated.
* Everyone please welcome the Gnorbu to Neopia! These new Neopets are generally quite comedic and enjoy a good laugh. However, they're not too keen on folks who mispronounce their name. It's pronounced "NOR-boo." Got it, bub?!
* A new round of the Beauty Contest is about to begin. If you don't have an entry ready by now, you're just a big slacker, aren't you?
* Every Neopet deserves a nifty Background on its special day, and the Gnorbu is no exception.
* If you want to find out more about the Gnorbu, visit your local Neopian Library! Or just click here and here if you're lazy.
* Tasty Gnorbu cakes! No, that's not a band name... it's what's available now in the Food Shop, if you hurry.
* A new issue of the Neopian Times has been released. Keep your eyes open for great stories and adventures like Life at Yurble Manor and Lena: Cursed on Two Counts.
* Are you stressed? Do you need to get away for a while? Then come to Shining Stars Farm and Retreat run by cloveapple, where every day is a good day and no one offers an omelette for your Super Attack Pea. Rated the Neohome Spotlight by The Neopets Team! Visit today!
* If you head over to the Book Shop, you'll find they're celebrating the Gnorbu with a few new books. How else would you expect them to celebrate?
* More of these Fun Images are now available in Gnorbu form! Use them on your pet page, user lookup, guild, or wherever you like.
* And the Pet Spotlight goes to... Jerafiyell and tamia_silverwing! Please keep your speech confined to no more than 15 seconds.
* We can't have a new Neopet without giving it a proper avatar! There is a new Gnorbu avatar available for everyone to use.
* There is a new Mystery Pic competition. The answer to the last one was the Quinton the Quiggle Neopedia. 466 people guessed correctly, earning them 4,292 NP each!
* Those of you eager to get your new Gnorbu into the Battledome should pick up these new items. 100% approved by the Gnorbu Combat Committee.
* The Neopets in the newest Caption Contest are celebrating the arrival of the Gnorbu just like we are. What a coincidence.
* Right out of the gate, Gnorbu can be gussied up in beautiful White, Brown or Purple. We hear these colours are all the rage this season.
No winter sidebar included in the editorial

I hope the Neopian Times is going to be released. I didn't see any picture for it.

I like the fuzzy hammer. It makes me think 'I got a hammer. It is fuzzy. I'm not afraid of anything, and I don't care what people may think of me
'

Ahh.. they're all right..
I'd rather the news have been prizes for the plot.
Oh well, can't always get what you want eh?
They are kinda cute..

Some of the poses are passable. I'm still not impressed with the new pet. To me it makes me ponder if both this and the ogrin had stemed off of the same idea.
I guess they couldn't have gone with the original one because it didn't quite fit the style? Did it look too much like a real animal or a Disney style character?

From here:
...Right.
Gnorbus are fun-loving neopets who enjoy making others laugh. Despite its natural lack of agility, the Gnorbu's kind heart and good-natured outlook have succeeded in making it a very popular Neopet.
...Right.

Is it just me, or does the brown gnorbu look pretty decent. A good colour. But the pet is still a little happy go lucky. I think the whole neopet player is hoping for a "eviler" pet to be released next hopefully.

Well.. I like their stubby little legs.. lol.. makes me giggle whenever I look at im.
I don't really like the big big eyeball in their happy/circle pose though.. just looks kinda off.
They're alright... it's something different.

This is from the new NT editorial (it's close enough to news...):
Hmm...this is news to me. Anyone else too, or am I just behind the times?
Some people put notes on their lookup saying that more than one person uses the computer, so there may be more than one account gaining NP or items from the IP. Do you actually read these notes and take them into consideration when you are thinking about freezing/suspending someone for gaining NP/doing dailies on multiple accounts? ~ melodicdreams
Nope, they don't do any good. Anyone can say they have a sister/parent/friend who uses the same computer/IP address/email whether it's true or not and, unfortunately, people do lie about such things to try and get away with cheating. Because of this, the monitors have to go by the information we have on each account (which is quite extensive) rather than by the user's word.

I still hate it. The ruff, the ears, the tail, the big eys and muzzle, I hate EVERYTHING about it. There are no words to describe how much I was looking forward to this even though I voted for the spider. How on earth could they mess up something so simple? My fondness of the xweetok has lessened, but will most likely dwindle down to nothing from the hatred of this that has bleed over. This was the only new pet that I loved completely and they ruined it for no gorram reason. They even had the nerve to release yet another friggin diseased purple pet. Does their torment know no bounds?
Frelling filthy morons.
