I think the Hissi looks kind of like Lord Kass' appendix... you know, if he had it removed...

I literally almost ran over a snake once. I was out running one morning with my Discman on. I noticed some thing moving slightly and looked at it. Three feet in front of me was a rattler, blending into the dirt road and brush. I almost had a heart attack. Never ran on that route again. I really hate snakes! Needless to say, I don't think I'm getting that pet any time soon.

The Hissi is love

I actually really like the hissi, though I'm not fond of the name. I certainly wouldn't mind having one.

Think neo stole the idea from subeta?

[Moogum]

I don't like it... I just don't think it looks up to par with the rest of the Neopets (the newer/revamped ones, not the old ones).

The Background and Front Page image made it look really cool, but the actual pet itself just isn't that great art-wise. Could have potential to be good, but I just don't feel the actual pet is the best they could have done.

Nah. I don't even think Neo & Subeta both stole it from Konrad Athalwolf.



Fact is that winged snakes date way back.

Personally, I love the Hissi. Not the name though. The name sounds too much like a tantrum. I hated it at first when I saw the shopkeeper, but after it was released and I saw the actual pet design, it just grew on me. Besides, I like these poses

Honestly, I thought of Malcho from the Aladdin TV series when I saw it. But I thought of Quetzacoatl when I first saw Malcho so I guess it works out in the end

I don't really like the Hissi but I think it would look fab in darigan. Wonder what the faerie would be like...

I wish there were cars in Neopets...
so then there could be road kill.

Inrun, the cars would not hit the snakes. They would get the cute little cybunnies, the usuls scampering about and an occasional aisha. In all of my time driving around forests, I have not once seen a dead snake on the road. But lots of raccoons, squirrels, possums, and other critters. The snakes are too darned smart.

Plus they dectect predators from the vibrations in the ground, and a car makes a whole lot of vibrations.
But that's beside the point.

The Hissi is cool man. I wanna see some new colors popping up quickly.


edit:
mystery solved apparently.

I actually really like the hissi - I didn't expect to but I love it's other poses =) I even quite like the name as it reminds me of Sir Hiss from Robin Hood x) But I can see why others wouldn't like the name!

I can't wait to see some of it's redraws - darigan, maraquan, faerie and tyrannian all have awesome potential.

I hate it. It looks so stupid. I mean wow a snake with wings, how original

[Butterflyhornet]

Hissi- pet is ok, name, no,

I have one named Serepity. I created it right after I saw the news updated. which was 10:11 nct.

[Blue Wolf]

I like it. I'm slighty tired of the cute and original pets neo has released lately. This a fine normal-ish pet to have. I would even like it better if it didn't have any wings, like a normal snake.
