Mutant Day (Friday) Thanks to Jellyneo

There were things I liked about the old Mutant Gelert - the hunched back, the bloodshot eyes, the fangs. Then there are things I like about this Mutant Gelert - the colors used, the ears and tail, and the paws that make it look like it's been sloshing through mud (toxic mud? ) (btw, what's up with the shoulder closest to us on the beaten pose? It just looks unintentionally out of place and it's bugging me.)

There were also things I don't like about both, but the main thing I have against both is that they're just not mutated enough. There's so much to play with - they could give it fangs that are crooked and visible even when the mouth is closed, like on a croccodile. It could have a snake-like mouth on the end of its tail or ears, or both. It could have two or three heads, like a Cerebus. It could be all shaggy and drooling, with a tongue slightly too large for the mouth and eyes that seem to function independently of each other.

But instead? Just gets the old bulk-it-up some, throw some spikes on it, pick an odd color, call it a day treatment. On its own, it's all right, just kind of disappointing that there's so much potential that's not being used.

Humm is it me or does that mutant look like it could be related to the hyennas (sp?) from the lion king?

I rather like the new version, but I was quite fond of the old version too. And frankly, if I had to choose between the two I would pick the old one - but that's because I prefer frightening to...sort of goofy-oddball-cute, which is how I think the new mutant gelert looks.

*crosses fingers for new versions/release of faerie eyrie and grey draik soon, as well*

I wonder why they changed it? I mean why bother? it's not like the old one was terrible or something. They could've spent their time drawing a new grey draik.

Many people, myself included, complained that while it was a cool-looking pet, it wasn't freaky or strange enough to be a mutant. It just looked like a Darigan pet or something.

Every time they make a mutant pet that's just "big and mean" (like the mutant Skeith or Grarrl) it's a complete waste of the color.

This version could stand to be a lot stranger or grosser, but at least it definately looks like a mutation

can someone tell me what the old one looked like?
thanks

I had a hard time finding one (that's why it's so blurry) but this should give you an idea.

Edit: For some reason, I couldn't get the image to work, so to see it, you'll have to go to this link..

Sorry.

That has the old Mutant Gelert.

I just completed the entire plot today after seeing that sidebar.

Chocolate Scorchio

Neocolors

BTW: I just noticed that this looks different than regular Scorchios. If this is a redraw, I like it!

I like it for the most part.

The Scorchio does need a bit of a touch up. They're so flat looking. There are a lot of pets that need to be revamped or redrawn first though (Meerca, Blumaroo, Chia!!!!!).

wow he's cool looking I love the candy corn for his spikes

Also yes if this is a redraw this is how I wanted it updated. Just a little nothing over the top just smoothed out a bit..... (I really hope they get around to the Zafara tho)

I look forward to mutant day every year and this was absolutely the worst ever. One neopet, no petpets, not even any mutant items (space items? Puh)

Man, I hope this is a sign of a scorchio touch-up. That chocolate scorchio is super-awesome-spiffy.
