The image properties for the igloo indicate that it is for a Hopso. The properties for the bone, however, don't indicate a specific petpet. It is titled pps_fancy_pillow in the image properties.

The igloo is based on the Hopso.

The one below isn't based on any petpet...just a bone-shaped pillow.

Hopefully there will be plot prizes sometime this week.

They always do. XD; But at least they've been giving us 'progress' reports this time.

Yeah, the news's kind of lame, but at least there's a new Caption Contest.

Does anyone know the name of the weird-looking green-bearded pet/petpet thing in this week's caption contest? Thanks.

Thanks, Daze. It sort of reminds me of the Eewok-like thing in Spaceballs, and would certainly explain why they remained hooded!

Ooh cool! Two new items I'll need for my Zomutt's collection. (Yes I'm weird, my petpet has a collection >.>; )

ugh...no prizes yet...oh well. I agree, at least they're giving us progress reports. It also doesn't look like they're going to keep us waiting as long as they did for Altador.

Isn't the tell-all sign of impending prizes usually the release of the sidebar images?

I know that we probably won't get a sidebar since we already have a Halloween sidebar, but it's what I've secretly been waiting for this entire time.
