To Morph Or Not To Morph....
Thu Jul 13, 2006 5:23 am
I'm stuck in this dilema, and I'd appreciate some outside opinions:
Last Christmas Eve, I created my first LE pet: my Tonu, Tunny. A few months later, I painted him baby and won a BC with him.
I love Tunny, but in comparison to the other pets on that account (Brown Xweetok, Island Cybunny, and a Yellow Ogrin), he looks really... flat. There's just something wrong with the baby Tonu image in general, IMHO, and the only reason I painted him that in the first place was because it was one of the few Tonu colors I liked.
In the meantime, one of my ultimate goals is to get a Draik and paint it Tyrannian. I was originally going to morph my current lab pet, but then the Grey Acara came out, and I thought it suited her better, so I moved that morphing goal onto Tunny. At the time, I thought it would be a nice transition: he'd still be a Tyrannian LE pet, after all.
I'm not sure the Tyrannian Draik really suits Tunny, though. He's supposed to be a good-hearted, immature, bumbling neopet (as most baby pets are, I think), and to apply that personality to a Draik is... it kind of makes me wonder if I should reconsider and keep Tunny a Tonu. Sure, it might be different and amusing, but I'm not sure it really fits the species. And then I feel bad about wasting 580k on a color I only kept for a few months (then again, it's only a game).
On the other hand, I really don't want to adopt a new pet to morph into a Draik (I only meant to have 10 total, and I have 11 as things currently stand), and Tunny's the only pet, aside from the lab rat (and an unpainted Kau who I was thinking of painting Darigan), whose species I'd be willing to change for this purpose. Plus, if I turn him into the Draik, I'll actually have an account where the color scheme of the pets semi-matches.
All thoughts on the subject are greatly appreciated. It'll be some time before I save up the NP to morph anyone, as I'm still working on a Faerie PB for a completely different pet, so I have a few months to decide.

"a good-hearted, immature, bumbling neopet"..
How about Plushie? I'm not so fond of Tonus myself, but a few Plushie pets look like they'd fit with Tunny's personality. Cybunny, Draik, Gelert, Ixi, Kacheek, Kau, Koi, Moehog, Scorchio, Wocky, Zafara.

I like faerie tonus... I don't exactly like the species itself, that's why I don't have a tonu lol... me personally I wouldn't go for the draik because... er... I don't like draiks. Heehee
Yeah, the grey acara IS pretty cute isn't it?

I personally adore the mutant tonu 
I don't know if the image really fits your pet's personality though. I think that you could make it work though.

I'd paint him into a Plushie Tonu. The colour would match his overall personality
and you'd already have a petpet that would work great. I mean, would you
want your petpet to be taken away after being together such a long time?.
Plus plushie pets are really detailed usually, and rarely flat. I only wish I would've
kept the Plushie PB I swindled yesterday afternoon to get some plushie pet of my own.

I agree...Plushie would be a great color for Tunny!

Thank you for your input so far, everyone.
Normally, I'd think plushie would suit his character, too, but I'm not very fond of the plushie Tonu.
I really did like faerie, though (a bit girlish, but somehow I don't think that really matters in this case :p ). As for mutant... I was considering it, but for the money I'd have to spend (last I checked, it was close to 500k, wasn't it? Please correct me if I'm wrong), I think I'd be better off getting a "flashier" color.
I'm trying to avoid that, yes. If push comes to shove, though, I'll remove the airax I have attached to him, give him a new species, and say, "Look everyone! Albus took some sort of mystical journey and magically morphed into ___!"

I think plushie would match it with the petpet very well.. the mutant one is cool
