So he runs mindlessly, blindly, on all fours with legs better suited for swimming. He runs with nothing but the pang of betrayal choking his little throat and the utter, vast loneliness of being utterly unloved. He runs until his heart gives out, and with the pain of his last breath wheezing itself out of his lungs, he curls up in on himself and dies, the memory of his creation and your facade of affection fresh in his dimming eyes. He will never be found in all of Neopia again.
...Yeah, their rarity comes in the fact that TNT chose them as the lucky species that can't be pounded/transferred. When they're pounded, the pet lookup says smth like "This Lutari ran away" and the Lutari's name is taken forever
