downrightdude are you the tax master creator omg

Duke Pikachu thank you so much for doing these posts and sharing your favorites, it is extremely helpful and convenient source for everything that's going on!

I WAS considering making a lawyer villain but now I thought, what if I made a jaded paralegal villain instead who got so tired of not passing the bar exam

Updated my first post so that it has a more proper introduction plus links to all current & past NeoCreation Week themes.

[Duke Pikachu]

Ooh boy, now this is one I've been waiting for as soon as I saw it (which was a day ago, but I always did think this topic would result in a lot of fun ideas)! It's time for Twitter players to create their own Battledome Item! #MyNeoBattle

• Rainbow Glitter Slime (Correct me if I'm wrong, but Agility is kind of useless outside of certain weapons (notably Heavy Robes of Thievery... if they ever fix Stealing...), right? They really should think about doing something more with it, as well as maybe revamp how training works, but that's beyond the point. I can imagine this having a pretty image but can't imagine it being anything more than a Freezer. Since it's "rainbow" and to try and play with the idea it slowed down the opponent, maybe have it block all of the most prominent elemental icon (sort of making it a counterpart to Glittery Faerie Dust))
• Hubrid's Blade of Ethereal Vengeance (A Hubrid Nox weapon, let me take a guess who it is... yeah it's Herdy. The effect reminds me the early days where we had weapons that did more damage against certain Neopet species like a few Chia weapons against Lupes. Since Hubrid Nox Memorial Shield blocks Earth, Air, Water, and Light, I think it would only be appropriate if his sword used the remaining two icons. I'm thinking normally does 7 Fire, 7 Dark, & 3-10 Physical, and if up against an Xweetok does an additional 3 Fire, 3 Dark, & 1-4 Physical. On par with an Anagram Sword normally, but against a Xweetok as painful as a Ghostkerbomb)
• Magic Barbwire Ball (Sounds like mid-tier dual-duty. Thinking something along the lines of the Water Powered Pistol or Cobrall Utility Blade. Going by the image showing 3 of them, I would say the Defense would be 3-9 Physical and the Attack would be 3 Fire, 3 Earth, 3 Light, and 3-6 Physical)
• Bag o' Lag (Love the art! The same issue I mentioned with Rainbow Glitter Slime also applies here. But to make the two different, I say it is also a Freezer but also prevents one of the opponent's two selected BD item from being used that (and if they only used one BD item they do nothing). I think this is a significant difference would make someone question if they want Rainbow Glitter Slime for a solid defense or gambling with Bag o' Lag to stop/delay the opponent using a game-changing BD item)
  
• Chocolate Bomb (The idea of making a Neopet hungry is a cute idea (I don't think there's another weapon that does that but wouldn't be surprised if there was), though I'm not sure about the healing effect. This isn't Pokemon where you can target an ally. Infact the Battledome hasn't introduced a tag team mechanic, and even if they had that's a pretty specific requirement. How about instead of healing a Chocolate Coloured target, it heals half the damage done if the Neopet using the bomb is colored Biscuit, Chocolate, or Custard. I think that gets the same idea across while working within the BD mechanics. As for icons done, hmm, maybe 6 Earth, 6 Water, 6 Dark, & 2-12 Physical)
• Tiny Plastic Sandwich Sword (Huh, interesting idea, I like it (and the art)! If I were to suggest something, maybe also provide 50% defense against the Faerie element it does (or against its opposite element: Fire/Water, Earth/Air, Light/Dark). That way you can also make two more to have a full set (purple for Dark and light blue for Air))
  
• Spinal Dagger (Poster didn't come up with a name though I think this one fits. Actually, we already have the Bone Sword so I guess this idea is kind of done, though it isn't as good as this one sounds. 20 icons sounds a bit too strong, how about Attack is 4 Dark, 4 Earth, 2-7 Physical and heals 10-15 HP (OR maybe Drain). Not high tier material but for Neopets with low HP this would be a very nice to use until their HP gets high enough the healing isn't as useful)
• Summon Dragon (Poster didn't name it, though sounds like a similar idea to the Faerie Ability "Summon Monoceraptor". Well, if they want it to be a weapon might as well go all-in. 25 Fire, but if combined with the "Summon Monoceraptor" Faerie Ability both it the Ability double so Summon Dragon does 50 Fire and Summon Monoceraptor does 20 Fire. Extra crispy)
• Soul Tear (Once again, not sure if the intended effect works as they think it does with Battledome mechanics. Trying to make it work with Battledome mechanics, how about for Neopets colored Ghost, Halloween, Wraith, and Zombie it makes the other weapon used does double the amount of icons and heals the user by half the damage done. If used by a Neopet of any other Colour it still heals for half damage done but the other weapon's power isn't doubled and decreases their Happiness. Would obviously be a once par battle equipment)
• Frozen Pudding (So sounds like another where they want a Faerie Ability effect, I can dig it. Making it a Water version of the Faerie Ability Rally Cry probably would be the best route to go)
• Spaghetti and Meatballs Bola (So would you get this by mixing two Attack Meatball together at the Cooking Pot *sees effect* On second thought probably not. A Freezer that does 10 icons is a CONSIDERABLE upgrade and maybe a bit too OP unless you want this to be as hard to get as the Moehog Skull. 1-3 Fire I think would be fine and inline with the other massively available Freezers)
  
• Omelette Mote (HEY, WAIT A SECOND! Yup, this same poster used this for the Create Your Own Omelette! Well, I guess it works both ways. Sadly Motes have never been the strongest BD equipment even though they are an interesting concept (maybe they should revamp them). I can't imagine the Omelette Mote being any more powerful... but let's change that! Going with the description said, would likely be a one-use full blocker like the Thick Smoke Bomb. The only difference is that you can get the Omelette Mote for free from the Giant Omelette if you're lucky! Yeah, that's really all I can think of without making it overshadow other full blockers. Hmm, maybe if they made some Mote empowering BD item(s) more can be done with it, but that's another idea for another time)
• Vacation Armor (Was waiting for someone to make a 100% Fire shield. Don't understand the 10 Physical attack, this feels like it would be an expy to the Faerie Tabard: Defends 100% Fire, 5 Water, 3 Air, 3 Light, & 5 Physical. Heck, as long as it has the 100% Fire block it could be an expy to the Parasol of Unfortunate Demise (100% Fire, 3 Light, 2-5 Water) and BDer would be happy. We've been waiting for a 100% Fire blocker for a long time)
• Hypnotic Cake (Originally I suggested slightly different Rainbow Glitter Slime and Bag o' Lag, however this poster than suggested Hypnotic Cake having the effect I suggested for Rainbow Glitter Slime so had to change a few things around. Anyway, I think 10% is a bit low, I would at least do 25% if not 50%. Also like the art!)
• United Paw Potion (So Pokemon's Beat Up in BD item for... not sure if that works. Nice idea, but they either forgot about the Strength cap or were thinking this is a way to circumvent it. I think maybe a better idea is if the Neopet you're using becomes just as strong as the highest Level Neopet on your account (copying their Strength, Defense, Speed, & Faerie Abilities) for the rest of the battle. That way you can train a specific battling Neopet, but if you want to use your other Neopet to battle you can use this potion on the first turn. This also rewards those who still train their other Neopets because, well, they won't have to waste a turn using the potion (and would likely have higher HP which is a stat not copied))
• Juppie Extract (Ah, a sickness causer, because those are always fun. 20 icons for a bomb is pretty weak all things considered, especially if they're all Physical. At least bump it up to 30 Physical)
• Coin of Change (So guessing you use this against Punchbag Bob and if it lands on "Sid" changes him to Punchbag Sid. Interesting idea but that may make it too simple to get the Avatar so they're going to have to make it more... "devious". How about once you flip it, it flips at the end of every turn constantly changing between Bob and Sid. And in order to defeat Sid you have to be facing Sid that turn and the coin has to land on Sid at the end of the turn. Defeated Bob, well no need to flip the coin. Think you scored the final hit against Sid, uh oh the coin changed him to Bob last turn! Guess you better try again, you want that Avatar right? Of course it would be pretty limited to have it be its only use, so maybe give it a second use against everyone else like if the coin lands on Bob it reduces opponent's damage by 10% and if it lands on Sid increases your Neopet's attack by 10%)
• Deadly Scythe (Like the art and concept (though would spread it to the other Colours I mentioned for Soul Tear). Maybe also make it so it does less damage when wielded by Halloween/Ghost/Wraith/Zombie but has the heal effect while other Neopets it does lots of damage with that recoil effect, that way it's not completely useless for other Neopets. Probably 15 icons when used by a "spooky" Neopet and 25 icons when used by a "normie" Neopet)
• Crushing Weight of Hopelessness ( )
• Garlic Potion (Another one wanting to do damage over time though also heals. Sounds like it'll copy the effects of Halitosis so the healing will probably be the major draw, maybe 25% of max HP or a direct 55 HP?)
• Sticky Potion (A TWO turn Freezer?! I'm not sure about that. We've already got plenty of Freezers so maybe a different idea: Instead of freezing for two turns the two BD items the opponent used that turn they're forced to use again for the next two turns (if one or both of them was a one-use they can select another BD item but will be stuck using that until the effect of the Sticky Potion wears off))
• Blue Ixi Bow (How long ago had we have a Neopet specific weapon? Looks nice, though these weapons usually fall short, even the ones which used to be good have fallen out of favor *has fond memories of using dual Iron Lupe Swords*. But hey, if you're an Ixi and want to kick someone that's far away, this is your weapon!)
• Usuki Doll Arms (It sounds like an interesting idea but not quite sure how the mechanics will work (or at least in a way that wouldn't be too broken). Maybe as a compromise to using 3 BD item slots you can't use a Faerie Ability, the Faerie Ability being used to place the third BD item)
• Mynci's Paw (Interesting idea, both you and your opponent heal but you heal just a bit more, so it comes down to a game of you trying to outdamage the healing that's done to your opponent. Not to mention also depends on much HP both you and your opponent has, like this would probably be a bad idea to use against a strong 1 Player Challenger. Though could be fun chaos in 2-player)
• Meepit Jelly Muffin & Ghost Meepit Jelly Muffin (More Freezers, though sounds like the poster would like them to do something additional. MJM summons a Meepit to watch the opponent, so maybe give it the affect where all the opponent's BD items are revealed. GMJM summons angry Ghost Meepits around the opponent, so maybe prevents them from also using a healing item or Faerie Ability on the turn used?)
• Folding Chair (This is either a Persona reference, a general wrestling reference, or FF6 Remake reference. And I'm sure whatever a reference it is to probably would affect what it does in battle)
• Book Hammer (This definitely looks like a weapon which would do more damage the higher your Neopet's intelligence is, which I think is another batch of BD items we need in addition to ones that uses Agility)
• Ire of Plumpy (Like the art, it's another item that wants to be a weapon version of Rally Cry though maybe a bit stronger since its one use. I'll say 3 Light, 3 Air, and 3 Physical for each turn it lasts)
• Gift of the Happiness Faerie (Like the art. I guess we kind of do need a middle between the 50% and full healers and it being from a Random Event would make it rare enough. Just, considering who its from, there should be a catch of something...)
• Blopple Shield (I like the idea of this weapon, shielding you more the less HP you have. Think this is alright, not entirely sure how it would do in battle compared with more straightforward shields)
• Sword of Frozen Nightmare (Looks neat. Says its pretty much an Anagram Sword but using Water & Dark icons. Alright, though personally I think with that preference making it a copy of Skarls Hasty Mace might have a more promising result: 8-18 Water & 5-11 Dark)
• Magical Scissor Blade (A half HP cutter?! Er, no, maybe up till a certain amount of HP or has a Level requirement. Yeah, maybe if your Neopet is the same or above the Level of your opponent than it cuts their HP in half, otherwise cuts maybe 10%)
• Ugga Ugga OUCH (I like how it looks, this definitely looks like it would be a stealing item if stealing worked)
• Wings of Reflection (Ooh, very pretty. Though looks more like a fancy wearable than a BD item. Not sure why make it only two use, as long as the two icons chosen to reflect are completely random I say make it multi-use)
• Thornberry Chia Flail (Art is nice but just 9 icons? At least have it do Attack Pea/Grapes of Wrath damage)
• Darkest Faerie Necklace (You know I'm surprised how little BD items based on things site characters have there are. Instead of making your Neopet sick I'd say have it be a Freezer that Attacks with 1 Dark and Defends 12 Light)
• Unstable Potion (So pretty much a more extreme expy of Sword of Lameness, alright. I like the art as well, nice details on the liquid (and what's in it))

Well, I think that's all for now from me with the weapons. But turns out this isn't the last theme this week as there's a fifth! So tomorrow we keep on playing...

I'm confused, yet pleased I'm being recognized for overtaxing the pathetic civilians.

And the final theme for this year, Create Your Own Toy! #MyNeoToy


Going to split this list into two: one for general toys and one for Plushies. First for general toys:

• Build-a-Faerie (Despite the name being based on Build-a-Bear, poster suggests it being the jointed wooden dolls than a plush. Could have sworn they did make a jointed wooden doll and had it as an AC Staff Tourney prize but couldn't find it, so yeah that would be a neat toy idea)
• Noxious Nesting Dolls (I always like nesting dolls which has a "progression/tier" theme, and this one is rather darkly comedic with it ending in a tombstone, like are we sure this wasn't made to insult Nox? Lol)
• Wocky Talkies (Points for the pun. I'd imagine if made into an actual item they'd base them on the Robot Wocky... or at least they should)
• Growing Baby Nimmo (Cute idea, a semi-Mr. Potato Head where you add appendages to the Baby Nimmo figure to make it into an adult Nimmo)
• Mix-And-Match Neopets (I like the idea but I wonder how it'll works. Like is it one toy but each time you play with it the image changes to show a mixed up/"matching" versions. Or are they different toys and, if you have multiple in your Inventory, you can combine them together/take them apart to form combination toys (if if that's too complicated take them to the Cooking Pot and when you play with it they "fall apart" back into the normal toy))
• Spaghetti Maker (Pretty much an Easy Bake Oven and I always thought that a neat item idea would be having several kinds of Easy Bake Oven-like toys and when you play with them they give you several food goodies as if your Neopet used it to make them. Of course the problem with this idea is then what happens to the toy. Does it vanish like other item giving items? Does it become a broken version? If so could you take it to Donny to fix it and use it again? Could you require having it use "ingredients" you pick from you Inventory?)
• Meuka Slime
• DIY Bathbomb Kit
  
• Neopian Land Snowglobes (Not a bad idea for a series of snow globes, that or notable landmarks)
• Wocky Water Wobble (Another series of toys idea we need more of, games interrupted how they would be like if a physical toy)
• Humagatchi (There's another Petpet idea for tamagotchi but I like this one the best, lol)
  
• Recycled Marble Run
  
• Neopoly (Fun idea though some of the choices for the properties I feel odd. I like the Wheels being the Railroads, Pound being Jail, and Money Tree being Free Parking. I'd make the Purple into Kiko Lake/Roo Island; Cyan is Krawk Island/Mystery Island/Maraqua; Magenta is Neopia Central
  /Neopian Bazaar
  /Neopian Plaza; Orange is Faerieland/Haunted Woods/Lost Desert; Red is Terror Mountain/Tyrannia/Shenkuu; Yellow is Meridell/Darigan Citadel/Brightvale; Green is Altador/Moltara/Lutari Island; and Blue is Kreludor/Virtupets Space Station. Also Chance would be "Random Event" and Community Chest would be "Something Is Happening")
• Mad Scientist Usuki
• Lenny-farthing Bicycle
• Robotic Vandagye Doll (Thinking about it I think the Fuzzle were meant to be Neopets parody of a Furby)
• Hatchapet (Oh wow, now that brings up memories! I remember those grow-in-water toys, I remember getting one which were these dinosaurs made out of this squishy "plastic" and another one which were dinosaur sponges squished into water dissolving capsules.)
  
• More Usuki Rejects
• Neoviewer (Would rather a way to maybe replay the old plot puzzles but seeing the old images that aren't readily available again would certainly be nice. Maybe even make ones for like Neodeck and TCG images, artwork from the early years, etc.)
• Chadley Usuki Doll
• Mix-And-Match Hissi (Another mix-and-match though this one is just a Hissi and I like the idea behind it. Once again each time you play with it the image changes to show another combination of parts would be a fun way to do this)
• Judge Hog Limited Edition PVC Figure, Con Exclusives
  

And now for the Plushie-Palooza!

• Mutant Tonu
• Carrot Chia & Peach Chia
• Dar-BLAT Darblat
• Carmariller
• Pirate Techo
• Plushie Copycat (A cute idea though what happens if a Neopet without a Plushie plays with it? I think a more fun idea would it just taking an appearance of a random Plushie. That way they could also make like a Usuki version, Faerie Doll version, and maybe a few others)
  
• Candy Zafara
• Water Zafara

Hm, not as many as previous ones. A shame, Toys is a pretty wide category and even if someone can't think of an original Toy idea there's series of Toys that could be added upon to (like I'm surprised there was no Faerie Dolls, also I always liked the E-Z brands that TNT had going on as Plot Prizes).

And that's it for this year's... sorta. This NeoCreation Week is actually going on for an additional week so maybe at the end I'll take another swing back to these categories and see what was added. Meanwhile, maybe next few days I'll look back at the older NeoCreation themes, especially the one for 2018!

[Duke Pikachu]

So for the look backs I'm not going to post as many of the posters as I usual do since they're not the active prompts. I'm also likely going to edit this post with all the 2018 prompts as not to fill this thread with posts for past themes. Just doing this to see the fun art (or suggestions) I missed.

Create Your Own Trophy: (https://twitter.com/hashtag/MyNeoTrophy)

SPOILER: Click to show

• 274 Tchea Fruit in SDB (Let me see my SDB... 343 Pile of Dung, 722 Half-eaten Berry, 401 Shiny Obsidian...)
• Alien Aisha Gross Food (Also a trophy for Neopets who hate their owners the most)
• Frost Arena (The BD should have trophies for defeating all opponents for each arena/dome)
• Neopian Curmudgeon (Next year I would be 2x champion!)
  
• Stock Wait (Pfft, you don't even need to be greedy, I have a pretty low sell price and my stocks still crash before reaching it)
• Extended Vacation (I mean, I guess this is one way to attract players back...)
• Neoboard Posting (Either this will encourage for my activity on the site and promote interaction between players... or spam, lots and lots of spam. No inbetween)
• Morphing Lover (I would have gone with "Identity Crisis" personally)
• Auction Wins (Assuming it excludes "NFs Only", I can only imagine all the ways players would try to work around getting this Trophy...)
• Merry-Go-Round (The alternate design was toys and plushies in a trash can)
• Training School & Secret Ninja Training School (OMG WANT! Maybe also make a Dubloon version for Swashbuckling Academy)
• Tin Foil Hat (I don't feel this one is fair, I mean how is anyone going to out conspiracy me unless I just don't participate?)
• NeoCreation (Also known as the "HINT HINT HINT" Trophy)
• Gifting (And you get a Pile of Dung, and YOU get a Pile of Dung, oh you get TWO Pile of Dung)
• Lever of DOOM (I feel like the Trophy should be the Lever of DOOM hand pointing at the screen with "HA HA HA" written above it. You know people would still try getting it)
• Consecutive Zombie (Well, yeah, I got to do my Dailies!)
• 5X Beauty Champ (Surprise TNT didn't think of doing this before (and also making a 10x and maybe some higher ones), seems pretty obvious and awards those who can win so many Beauty Contests)
• NeoCash (OH the backlash if they ever did make an NC trophy...)

Create Your Own Land: (twitter.com/hashtag/MyNeoLand)

SPOILER: Click to show

• Mushroom Land (Sort of sounds like someplace that would exist between Faerieland and Haunted Woods, both lands magic causing the sudden growth of magical mushrooms. I like the Mushroom version of "Pick Your Own", and they could bring back the Apothecary)
• Korbat Cave (More "Neopet original land" is never a bad idea. This one doesn't really have anything which catches me but I think the cave setting would be at least interesting)
• Borovan Land (Surprised this wasn't a thing when Adam was still in charge)
• Bharville (Lands based on other real world places is also always welcome. I don't know much about India so wouldn't mind seeing a land based on it to learn more, though at the same time doesn't Sakhmet also have India inspirations?)
• Grey Town, Grey City, & Grey Land (... I did not know a Land essentially painted "Grey" was such a highly requested land. There was also an Invisible Town that I felt was a transparent joke *rim shot*. Just like lands based on Neopet Species, I suppose lands based on a Colour (or some Colours grouped together) could be interesting, but Grey and Invisible, at least how presented here, I don't think hooks the idea)
• Folderton (Eh, it's only a model)
• Cactus Canyon (Ah, this is what I was waiting to see and a land we're very much missing in Neopets, a wild west land!)
• Drenched Island (Okay, so I think this might be a better concept for a "Grey world", it has the theme of a "Grey world" but it's not directly said to be a "Grey world", if you get what I mean. It's a lone island where it's always raining, which could make the locals feel glum. Nice world building and justification for the sad atmosphere besides "we're painted Grey")
• Blisstonia (More of an addition to an existing world, but still acceptable if the idea is good. And I like the idea of one side of Terror Mountain being a skiing and spa resort)
• Hidden Garden (Reminds me of Altador Cup 9's NC Accompaniment, Hidden Altador, and how they thought of these cool locations in Altador... we can't visit )
• The Relic Cliff (Neat looking location, though limited in theme the Sculpture Workshop and Relic Sword sound intriguing)
• Nordsudrheim (Now I know lore says it's uninhabited, but that doesn't mean a new settlement can't be made in Neopia's South Pole focusing on another cold weathered culture)
  
• Sweet Dreamland (Imagine this place probably isn't too far from Jelly World, though unlike that place this would exist! Though with Relic Cliffs giving you a chance to be painted Relic and this world giving you a chance to be painted Chocolate (), I'm getting a feeling some of these lands are being made with players wanting someplace they can easily paint their Neopets a Colour they want, lol)
• Isles of Magic (Another idea I can get behind, locations mentioned in other places around the site made into actual locations! And this certainly does sound one of the more interesting locations which could be it's own world/mini-world)
• Tribal Plains (I was silently hoping someone would make a Wild Lupe Plains, though this is a nice alternative. Instead of being based on one Neopet it's a land where multiple species share an origin from. And with a "Native American" theme could be connected to a Wild West land)
• Sweet Dreams Cottage (It's Magicant! Joking aside, this is pretty much a more creative take of a "Plushie land" and I like the idea its an entire world inside a small location meaning they could technically place the cottage anywhere instead of trying to fit an entire world onto the map)
• Music Mountain (This sounds more like an annual event than a permanent land. While I like the Winter Starlight Celebration wouldn't mind if maybe it was a once every two year event, with every other year being a wintery music festival)
• Lunar World (... wait what? Does this person play Neopets? Now I'm not saying non-Neopet players can't participate, the point of hosting this on Twitter is to attract more attention... but if they played Neopets they would know the moon is already a land)
• Deep Tunnels (Actually they're catacombs )
• Goldy Islands (Like wow, highlighting this one just for all the effort they put in!)
• Vandagyre Land (This is like the third entry for a Vandagyre Land! I'm picking it over the others I saw cause it has the prettier image)
• Backside of Kreludor (Anyone remember Neopets Hive? This reminds me of their idea how they thought, for the Return of Sloth plot that was being teased via the TCG set (which then didn't happen until several years later), that Virtupets Space Station was actually going to crash into Kreludor and all the stuff that was on the station would then be relocated to the "Darkside of Kreludor". Of course this wasn't what happened (and unlikely was the case, likely the heroes would stop the space station and rescue everyone) and instead we learned the Purple Grundo inhabit the darkside of Kreludor. Would still like to see it, Kreludor is pretty bare so could use someplace to have more shops and site activities)
• Neo Xeo City (We have a steampunk world, why not a cyberpunk? I guess the difficult thing would be finding a place to put it according to Neopets lore... maybe on the darkside of Kreludor?)
• Arborea (Cities/Towns made within a giant tree is a fun idea. While they mention it being placed between Shenkuu and Altador, if you name is something close to Yggdrasil maybe it could be placed in the Nordic word)
• Dog Park (Okay, I gotta include this here just for the giant Lupe-shaped mountain, lol!)
• Ibria (There have been several Petpet worlds though I skipped them over as they just felt like another version of Petpet Park. Now this technically isn't a Petpet but I like the concept of a city on the back of a giant Petpet. "Isn't that what the Lost Isle is"? Yes, though it's an aquatic Petpet with a jungle on its back while this is a land Petpet so they could build a civilization on top of it. Now it the city does feel like a sort of copy of Altador, though the major idea I feel carries it (get it? Cause the major idea is the Kiiyak which is carrying the city))
• Kingdom of Crystarium (I like the aesthetic this world shows with all the crystal buildings and structures)

Create Your Own Neopet Species: (twitter.com/hashtag/MyNeopet)

SPOILER: Click to show

So finally got through the list! There's a lot of Neopet ideas and instead of commenting on all of them I'm going to separate them by lists which overall explain why I like them (and maybe I'll add an additional comment where I feel needed).

First list are Neopets based on an animal or mythical creature:

• Sweechilla - Chinchilla
• Ursiburr - (Polar) Bear (There was a few bear-based Neopets but I felt this was probably the best. Simple but having that Neopet-style)
  
• Cathinx - Sphinx Cat
  
• Svana - Swan
  
• Rinco - Platypus
  
• Jarboba - Jerboa
  
• Centibyte - Centipede (Now I'm not 100% with it as I would prefer it to be a bit more bug-like)
  
• Tardao - Koala
  
• Moomole - Mole
  
• Elassi - Plesiosaur (Not sure about the "U" tattoo on its back, but I like the idea of the scarf wrapped around a long neck animal)
  
• Gediraja - South American Coati(?)
  
• Valpeet - Slug
  
• Famberre - Sheep (There was other sheep but they either felt like a Petpet or didn't fit the typical Neopet-style)
  
• Trinosaur - Triceratops
  
• Vadril - Tapir(?)
  
• Karjemal - Camel (& Poodle & Deer)
  
• Vulpkit - Kitsune
  
• Raptsee - Raptor (As in the dinosaurs, dromaeosauridae)
  
• Lumot - Moth
  
• Mantico - Manticore
  
• Parrit - Parrot (& Rabbit)
  
• Dormintail - Mouse
  
• Winjago - Wendigo
  
• Axosoza - Jellyfish
  
• Clovera - Jersey Devil (loosely)
  
• Fallie - Deer & Dog
  

As expected, there are some animals/mythical creatures which has multiple submissions which I like:

• Turtle: (I like the idea of it being a quadruped like Torti, though also like the two ideas for a bipedal. I like parts of both: Tortugo's head, belly shell, and arms; Turga's tail, shell knee pads, and stripe on the front shell)
  Tortugo
  Torti
  Turga
• Spider: (I like Spiddle's overall look, really cute, though I like the creepiness of Erachnid. I'd say take Spiddle and give it Erachnid's legs & arms)
  Erachnid
  Spiddle
  
• Axolotl: (Now Zalott isn't technically an axolotl, it's more of a dragon-looking brine shrimp, but I feel would fill a similar role of the other axolotl I put it with. Axelittl looks mostly like a modern-day Neopet. The other two also are nicely drawn, if I were to take bits from each I'd take eyes from Elim and the head gills of Axol)
  Elim
  Axol
  Axelittl
  Zalott
  
• Chinese Dragon (I like Yulroh's quadruped body, I'd probably split it off and add Ryutatsu's upper half onto it (though maybe use Yulroh's head for the Elderly colour))
  Yulroh
  Ryutatsu
  
• Fox: (I would like a fox-based Neopet but the two here, thought nicely drawn, just don't do it for me. Vulperanian is cute, maybe a bit too cute and almost Petpet-like. Kudateko the top half looks like an alright bipedal fox, and while I like they tried doing something unique with the lower half, would have liked a normal body. I'd say use Vulperanian's pose, but the more "sly fox" aesthetic of Kudateko)
  Vulperanian
  Kudateko - & Nguruvilu
  
• Qilin/Kirin: (Huh, didn't expect two of these! I like the head (horn & mane) and hind legs of Kyren but the wings of Xirin)
  Xirin
  Kyren
  

Next up are the more unique designs which I mostly like for how they were drawn, which for some species if all they need to become popular.

• Monsu
• Feend
  
• Necolini
  
• Lychats
  
• Cleptes
  
• Kinuk
  
• Nytlyts
  
• Limono
  
• Gorkema
  
• Bugaboos
  
• Tajni
  
• Semou (another version)
  
• Banda
  
• Peacock-Deer
  
• Khoro
  
• Tixara
  

Now we come to the species I don't feel quite make it as a Neopet (or niche is already filled by another Neopet) but could make for a Petpet:

• Scrunt 3
• Frenchkin
  
• Mandeft
  
• Armarillo
  
• Lunkie
  
• Flydra
  
• Gronapy
• Ordrac
  
• Grubble
  
• Eldent
  
• Kitsuera
  
• Krelumit
  
• Mothing
  
• Wriggler
  
• Nobble
  
• Cowasky
  
• Caviecy
  
• Gallagot
  
• Poinky
  
• Leorin
  

Finally, while not exactly what this theme was about, here are just some neat ideas for Maraquan version of aquatic Neopets showing, even though they're already aquatic based, doesn't mean you can't make them more water-y:

• Clam & Pearl Kiko (I think it would still have arms, though the seastar "bandage" is a nice touch)
• Anglerfish Jetsam
• Lionfish Koi
• Narwhal Tuskaninny

Now this one was taken two ways. One was just creating a food item, and the other was creating a real life Neopet-based dish. While the real life dishes all look tasty and many well made, unless there's something really notable about it I'll mostly be skipping them over and instead more focusing on the Food items.

• Avocado (As the post says, even though we have plenty of avocado-based items, we don't have just an avocado)
• Haunted Fettuccine/Spookhetti (I especially like the little faces on each string)
  
• Kikowi Slices (Creative and bonus points for the pun)
  
• Grackle Stuffed Bomberry (I like the description)
  
• Kadoatie Tuna Can
• Bite-Back Burrito (Prime Spooky Food right here!)
• MeriDelight (With all the times Kadoaties asked for Draik Eggs, I'm surprised TNT never made a food item based on Draik Eggs)
• Lenny Sugar Skull (A nice addition to the collection)
• Yarn Soup (Okay, maybe not all the real life dishes are "edible"...)
• Grarrl Nuggets with Chomby Smiles
  
• Lunar Food (Cute idea, a selection of cheesy foods with orbit rings around them. Maybe not for its own world but something that Kreludor Cafe could sell)
• Neopian Times Roll Cake
• Roseatte Foods
• Cotton Candy Ice Cream Burrito
• Lava Rice Bowl
• Jellomellete (It was only a matter of time)
• Computer Chips (Surprised this idea hasn't already been done for Space Foods)
• Aishalatte
• Haunted Cookies, Haunted Doughnut, & Apple in Distress
• Obsidian And Lava Tart
• Wraith Food

HAHAHAHA I would love an Extended Vacation trophy considering my very long hiatus

I DID IT, I submitted about Reuben. I KNOW, I KNOW, THE BLATANT OBVIOUSNESS OF IT ALL.

Got an idea for a BD weapon - THE FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT. Multiple use as most frivolous lawsuits are multipurpose and multiuse.

NeoCreation Week isn't the only chance to show your artistic skills on Neopet's Facebook! TNT just posted their Drawtober prompts which they're calling "Neotober"!

[Kat]

I'd rather write-tober but then again I'm kinda doing it already on the forum...and with my long NT to-do list.
