The Acara was originally introduced as the Tigren on 28 April 2000. It was renamed to the Acara on 19 July, at the same time the Polypup became the [[Gelert]], and it was at this point that its design received the 'horns' brushed back over its head.

~~==Tigren==~~

~~[[Image:Tigren green baby.gif|right]]~~

The Acara was originally called the Tigren. The Tigren was designed by Perdiddle and chosen as the winner for the April Create-A-Pet Contest and was introduced on April 28, 2000. The name was changed on July 19 for reasons unknown, along with the '''Polypup''''s change to the [[Gelert]]. NeoNews of the time touted the change as "evolution", just like [[Wikipedia: Pokémon|Pokémon]] do.

The write up that came with the Tigren stated: Tigrens are excellent swimmers that are just as comfortable on land as at sea. An air of mystery surrounds where these creatures came from but it looks as if they are here to stay.
