While everyone's distracted by Neo going down, JN posted this:
I am very excited to announce that we are finally able to share some of what we discussed at jnCon with TNT last summer!
TNT is very much considering creating an entirely new species of Neopet. However, there's a big issue: there are over 12,000 wearables, and only a fraction are backgrounds and trinkets. With this in mind, TNT has been wrestling on how to best proceed with the customisability of a new Neopet. Does it come with absolutely no existing wearables? Do they retroactively draw older items? What about with Neocash items, since having those wearable would help bolster the NC Mall?
A Solution?
After discussing this with TNT, we came up with an interesting solution. Right now, all wearables are drawn to fit the mold of existing Neopet bodies. What if a new Neopet was created using already existing Neopet bodies, therefore allowing existing wearables to fit snugly into place?
That's where you guys come in! We've been asked by TNT to make use of our vast Wardrobe data to assemble a new Neopet species out of existing artwork. So, we're excited to announce the latest addition to our Wardrobe: Build a Species!
How It Works
Visit the Build a Species tool and start building your new species from scratch. Be sure to click the "Random Creations" button for a little inspiration!
We will be putting up a vote of your creations over the next few days, Costume Contest style. The top voted species will be submitted to TNT as official contenders for a new species of Neopet! To enter your creation, save it, and share the URL in the comments of this news post. You'll need to register a jnAccount to participate.

April 14th: Last day to vote!
April 15th: Results revealed and sent to TNT!

That sounds really exciting but also kind of strange. Like how to make a body of something like a bori look like its not wearing a big chunky back, or like krawk bodies having preggo bellies. I'm not sure how well it will translate across..
Think how happy we can be when we just try..

I'm having a lot of fun with this.
This is the funniest thing ever xD
Im playing around with it, it reminds me of that pokemon merger thing but like... more hands on xD
um
all the example pets they put up are really, really ugly LOL
i don't want a new species if it's going to be just as ugly as some of the pets already out, ngl
whether or not this is a joke, LOL

I thought about that too, but does JN usually take part in TNT's antics? Also, it's only the 31st.Originally Posted by catalyst
To me, it seemed like something just ridiculous enough for TNT to actually implement.

I clicked random and this terror was born.
Dying.
Clicking random is producing the greatest results.
