# This week's Neoadventure Spotlight goes to firecomet14 for The NeoClones Break Loose.

Suddenly a maniacal voice comes over the room. Where is it coming from? Never mind. It says, "Fight all you want Kirona, your doom comes soon. (Small click) Ahh this whole evil business is getting fun. Especially after my evil plan to clone pets and do evil experiments on...... WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS STILL ON? YOU LITTLE.....(click). So that is why you are here. You are a clone of a real pet. Suddenly your life feels so meaningless. What now?

From the Editorial:

When you go to the page where you abandon Neopets to the pound a Lutari will have this message under its picture: "Caution! Lutaris are not fond of being abandoned! Don't count on them entering the pound!" I wondered what exactly this meant - is it impossible to abandon a Lutari (let's put aside the fact that few people would want to anyway) or do they kinda vanish when you pound them.? Please clear this up, thx! ^_^ ~jeazard
If you really want to abandon your poor Lutari, you can, but they will get extremely angry and run away rather than allowing themselves to be placed in the pound! Even if you assure them they are just going to your other account, they'll still run off. : ( We're not quite sure where they go, but it's definitely not the pound.

Guess that means those Lutari are staying where they are. Hope people created them on the accounts they wanted them in.

Think it'll just be until Lutari Island is released or a permanent thing?

Also:



That's adorable.

Perhaps it's a way to prevent Pound abuse? It's annoying when people hog new pets with a bunch of bad names (ie fjkd33333888389292) then pound them later.

Am I the only one whose mind was screaming "Lion King" when I saw that?

I noticed the Lutari thing too. Why would they do that?! It makes transfers impossible for the species, and it forces people to fight tooth and nail for the 100 (?) released daily, rather than picking up a pre-existing one from the pound.

I'm hoping its just until they release the island or else Lutari Morphing Potions are going to make Krawk and Draik potions look cheap in comparison.

Me too! I was counting on adopting a Lutari as my backup plan since I'm just not fast enough!

I wasn't before, but I am now! It's Simba!
