As a lifelong monster fan and studier of parasitic organisms, no creature can actually weird me out (except perhaps those
Ju-on ghosts), but I'm very interested to get an idea of what other players consider the most monstrous pets.
PLEASE no pointless, unoriginal "joke" answers ("The babyca! It gives me nightmares!") or soapboxes ("Post-customization grey pets!") this is not about ugly art, poor designs or tacky cuteness. Think of pets and petpets that are
meant to be ghastly and weird. Which do the best job?
I've always liked the partially open eyes of ghost chias (a trait thankfully preserved through customization), which somehow make them look "deader" than most other ghost pets.
As far as actual creepiness goes, the mutant Gnorbu has a lot going for it too. It looks like a farm animal from a fallout zone...the drooping eyeballs are especially unsettling and cool!
As far as petpets go, the design of the Goulblee is SO inventively bizarre and eerie. A body like a melting candle, a head like a monkey with no apparent mouth and
Hedorah-like eyes. I'd love see a neopedia on them, some artist has a lot of explaining to do.
The intesteen is my single favorite thing on the site (I love body-organ creatures) and cute as a button, but hugging either end of it would probably be a terrible, TERRIBLE idea, and I'm inclined to wonder where it even comes from. Is it a natural, organ-like animal of the Haunted Woods or an actual intestine re-animated into a small monster?
And for petpet
grossness, what could be worse than a couple undead spooks made from used personal hygiene products?
