I hate when people suggest that invisible pets should just be "faded"...the people who already own invisible wouldn't want that, and the people who don't own invisible wouldn't want it either, because it'd just be a partially "washed out" version of a normal neopet. Completely lame. Yes, worse than no pet at all.
Articles of clothing ought to be visible though, yes, or at LEAST have floating bandages in the beaten poses.

BAH! Insects are harmless, adorable and cool-looking,
esspecially cockroaches! I have a giant madagascar hissing cockroach I raised from a tiny baby...she likes eating marshmallow peeps! She hollows them out and sleeps in them. I wish I were small enough to do that.
Though I guess a smarter wish would be for a large enough peep.
....anyway, the mutant ruki is what I've always, ALWAYS wanted in a neopet! I was thrilled when the Ruki came out because the Buzz was never insect-like enough, but this one is even
more insectoid! I've GOT to get one even if it costs all my savings...
I must agree though that it could pass for tyrannian...it isn't very mutant-like, and neither are the new mutant petpets except for the Fir (which I LOVE!). When I think "Mutant", I expect something deformed and kinda "pitiful", like Gollum on LOTR...you know, something creepy and weird, not just something "evil" looking - we have other colors for that.
Course, it's kinda hard to make an insect look deformed. If a lenny mutates into a buzzard, I can see the ruki mutating into a cockroach - they are very close relatives to Mantids. It also looks a little like a hornet or longhorn beetle.
Or a giant vernax. It even has the same tail!
