I just realised I've been rather slack with the thank yous, so I thought it was time to say a big, sweeping
THANK YOU to everyone who has commented.
Anywho... how's this for dedication. 3 pets in one day.
Ladies and Jellyspoons, the
Furmani
On the northern most side of Tyrannia, just beyond the far edge of the plateau, a vast primordial swamp stretches as far as the eye can see. It is the home of a variety of bizarre creatures - krawks, searexes, blunas, scadoes and others.
Here, on clear nights and dim, misty mornings, strange lights can be seen playing across the marsh. Most believe that these lights are nothing more than pockets of swamp gas, but the creatures of the swamp know otherwise. They know that these lights are the Furmani.
Of all the creatures in Neopia, none are more shy and secretive than the Furmani. Generally fearful of outsiders, the Furmani keep to the swamp, dancing delicately across sodden patches of earth so as not to fall into the dark waters that would otherwise extinguish their flames. Unfortunately, though, these lights hold a strange fascination for others, and it is not uncommon for an unsuspecting outsider to get themselves into trouble trying to catch one of these elusive lights.
When this occurs, the Furmani forget their fear and come to the aid of the helpless creature, leading them to safety before disappearing back into their marshy home.
Colours:
Red, Yellow, Green, Blue
Brown, Fire, Orange, Pink
Purple, Shadow, White
I'm generally pleased with how this one came out. Not sure which is my favourite (but I'm leaning towards Blue). The Brown one sorta reminds me of those fudge-covered chocolate pets that TNT has as shopkeepers... all it needs are some sprinkles and a cherry. HeHe.
Right, now let's see where we are... 9 pets down, 40 to go (remembering that I'm not doing the Nikondrak).
Neopia Central: the Hughman
Haunted Woods: the Vermee
Mystery Island: the Wazziup
Terror Mountain: the Lamameeah
Faerieland: the Gwalla
Tyrannia: the Furmani
Lost Desert: the Smapaderk
Meridell: the Dimber
Maraqua: the Cinocopie
So, for the first round of worlds, that leaves:
Space Station/Kreludor: the Slymook
Krawk Island: the Swaq
After that... well, I'll decide when I get there.
