But this guy's ok, I think. I might make one eventually. The art style is different, but I like having different art styles. You can find petpets to match any art style you could imagine, why not for pets too? The color and shading is vibrant without being tacky, and I really like the fact that it is mostly brown- probably the reason people are equating it to Kyrii and Usuls. It looks more like a real animal with a fantasy twist, rather than something that could never ever exist. It has an actual body, legs and toes, natural colored mouth, nose and ears, and the eyes, though a little anime-ish, can pass for an actual animal's. Heck, anime eyes will probably gain more fans than it will lose for this critter. With pets out there like the Scorchio and Usul (that many people nonetheless love), I really can't find room to complain about the Xweetok.
I fully agree with you about this critter being more like an actual animal than most. And I don't see why people are saying the Xweetok is too cute, when usuls and bruces have both been deliberately cutified with bows. The variations in striping colour, as opposed to the main colour, was a nice touch, too.
That being said, this makes the sixth neopet with some variety of neck ruff! Somebody in TNT must really like it as a design feature. And I do think they could've come up with a better name, but until they release the Lutari, the Xweetok isn't a bad choice for the interim.
