Maraquan Koi

[Ian Wolf-Park]

Another user-inspired colour, again by Chanty

Rainbow Pool


Clothing is based off of King Kelpbeard, which was previously the basis for the Royalboy Koi


Hmm, Maraquan Koi looks familiar, but I can't quite place my finger on the species.

A lion fish is what first came to mind when I saw it, and people in the comments on Jellyneo's post are saying the same, so that's probably it.

Yeah, lionfish was my first guess as well! Beautiful design by the way, I like the deep reds and oranges they went with to make it all the more vibrant :3

I have noticed that on the neoboards, though, if you have a Maraquan Koi as your active, it's off center enough in the preview box that you can't actually see its face xD Hopefully something they'll be able to fix soon, but I thought that was a funny little thing in the meantime.

Great to see another of Chanty's Maraquan aquatic Neopets made official, this one being a favorite for a lot! Lionfish Koi, just makes sense if you want to make the fish Neopet a bit more extravagant. I like they kept the pose that Chanty suggested (even if its causing some issues with the preview box, lol), its a nice elegant pose that shows off the flowyness of the fin and tail.

Hard to do a proper King Kelpbeard but they did what they could which I appreciate, it's just one of those characters where you gotta release the clothes on-model just so you can write off you did it. Maybe pretend its a young Prince Kelpbeard? Customization options are limited otherwise.
