Note from the Transcriber:
Hey Neopians! Ever since Karu complained that it wasn’t really fair for
Neopians to never really read the books
available to them, seeing as they were all in pet script, I decided to
take on the near-impossible task of transcribing them. With Karu helping
me (she is, after all, a NeoPet and able to read pet script), I’m slowly
transcribing a book a week, every week. I hope to eventually transcribe
every book in Neopia, so owners can, for once, enjoy the book along with
their pet. If you would like to see the full library, just visit Karu's
page. Thanks!
A note from the writer:
Welcome to my next book in interesting NeoPet facts, Acara Facts.
Originally Tigren Facts, this book was updated in the month of Sleeping,
Year 2. When I first started writing, I had no idea that I was going to
end up doing a whole series, but Neolastic insisted, so here I am, writing
my newest book. Enjoy!
—Professor Chesterpot.
I. The History of the Acara
Now, the first thing you should know about an Acara is
that they were never originally Acaras. In the month of Eating, year 1,
the Tigren, the predecessor to the Acara, was announced. NeoPet owners
flocked to pick up the new pet, possibly one of the cutest ones of it’s
time. The Tigren was a must have for any water-type NeoPet owner, for
it’s ear fins could swim at an all time high 30 miles an hour! Then, disaster
struck.
All Adoption agencies were recalling all Tigrens created or adopted.
There had been a defect in them, and all of them had to be returned. However,
the agencies promised owners that they would get a new pet in replace
of their Tigren. Owners were outraged at the fact that they couldn’t keep
their beloved Tigrens, and a lot of them refused the replacements. Pretty
soon, there was a long list of names of Owners who did not want the replacement,
so all of their replacements would be going to the pound on arrival. Finally,
all Tigrens had been recalled, and the Adoption Agencies began delivering
the replacements to the owners who had wanted them. These replacements
were called Acaras.
The first version of the Acara came with mixed feelings.
The once 4 ft. tall Tigren had been reduced to a small 2 1/2 ft. Acara,
a small catlike creature with four short legs and long hanging ears. Many
owners who had agreed to accept the replacement shunned their new Acara,
claiming it was not as cute as the Tigren was, and how they had gotten
a rip off. For awhile most of the poor Acaras had no home but the pound.
Soon, though, people got to know and understand them,and the once-Tigrens
were finally settled into decent homes. Then the Acara’s were withdrawn
yet again, this time their replacement a Gorrila/old Acara look, still
with the name Acara. People disliked them, and suddenly all the Acaras
which once had good homes were dumped into the pound yet again. Poor Acaras!
They were only withdrawn and re-given out for a ‘boost’ in their popularity,
but unfortunately, it grew worse. Acara’s came to the point where they
were very close to the ‘Wooden
Spoon’ Award. Oh geez.
II. The Habits of the Acara
The Acara is not one for old and boring habits. This
creature has a very heavy Cheat addiction, taking after their princess,
Fernypoo. If you’re not careful, your Acara will bleed your bank dry with
its addiction to the tables. However, very rarely you will get an Acara
who is a great winner and will make you loads. Acaras are very hard workers,
and usually get the most intellectually stimulating jobs available. The
Acara who started this trend is a Ms. Betty Carin, Chief Supervisor of
NeoBuilding inc. This Acara led the way when no other Acara would sit
up and work, proving herself and her species. Now all Acaras dream of
being her, and work their hardest. Another interesting habit of theirs
is Swim Speed. Done off the coast of Roo
Island, Swim Speed is a contest of skill and wit where only the
best Acaras enter to compete. Competing in such events as the 10, 50,
and 100 meter swim, and the Waterflip, no Acara would be caught dead there
if they hadn’t worked out at Grundo’s Gym every day of their life. Happening
only once every four years, it is a great delay, so if your Acara is especially
impatient, I’d avoid not trying out.
III. 15 Strange Facts about Acaras
