MUTANT DAY SPECIAL

Joys of Being Mutant
by Dr_tomoe

They say being a mutant is terrible.
I have to disagree.
There are many joys of being a mutant
that I hope I can make you see.

Just look at the mutant Bori
which is a lovely shade of green.
Or the mutant Blumaroo
with a friendly smile, never mean.

Then there's the mutant Grarrl
given spikes and brand new wings.
As a mutant it can take to the skies
and enjoy those newfound things.

A mutant Gelert is a lovely Neopet
that shows loyalty with its howls.
A mutant Lupe can also help
when herding mutant Kaus.

A mutant Aisha, with all its mouths
will always finish a meal.
And of course everyone knows
mutant Draiks and Krawks have appeal.

A mutant Kacheek is well known
thanks to its very large brain.
If you let it play some games
it'll put AAA to shame.

A mutant Hissi will never be lonely
thanks to having an extra head.
And a mutant Korbat with its ears
can hear everything that is said.

And so many mutants have extra eyes
giving them so much to see.
Too many to name them all here
but imagine how useful that could be.

By now I hope to have convinced you
how great being a mutant can be.
And now you know why mutant
is the best color for me.

If you want your Neopet to be mutant
then go and take heart.
You just have to find Dr. Sloth
and then the fun can start.

Monstrous Mutants
by Moulinrouge21

Gruesome and ugly with too many eyes,
A strong putrid smell attracting the flies.
Broken old teeth and black matted fur,
Evil they dwell in with the truth that they stir.

Extra limbs and mouldy skin,
Manipulative mind with a malicious grin.
Claws for hands with rotting nails,
Long slimy tentacles for a wriggly tail.

Ruby red eyes, the colour of blood,
Big scaly feet encrusted in mud.
Horns growing out, head and back,
Body like rock, ready to attack.

Green gooey slime dripping down,
Bushy big brows creating a frown
Large pulsating brain, bursting out,
Along with a hairy, dirty snout.

Veins popping, with an old beating heart,
Creeping behind you, making you start.
Stinking breath, saliva everywhere,
Secretly watching with intense mutant stare.

The Mutant Kiko Plushie
by Sordid

When restock leads to frenzied rush,
So fast clears each toy shelf.
Alas, one plushie left behind,
He sits there by himself.
Now and then some Neopet will pause,
Point high and pull a face.
“What IS that ugly, horrid thing?”
Then off again, they’ll race.

Mutant Kiko, plushie toy,
Strange colour, putrid blue.
Two eyes, so big, a vibrant red,
That seem to stare through you!
Stumpy fins from body sprout,
He sports a single tooth.
He’s ugly, bumpy, rather odd,
With gaze that’s so uncouth!

His plushie form seems oddly stuffed,
So bumps and lumps do show.
Some claim he’s been there for some time,
Yet none do care, or know.
So day by day the plushie dwells,
On hope he does survive.
Waiting to be bought and held,
But no Neopet doth arrive.

Another restock comes and goes,
The Kiko watches, still.
If he could, from crimson gaze,
Some mutant tears would spill!
He may be there to this own day,
Forever, without end.
Take pity on this Kiko pal,
And buy a plushie friend!

A Praise for Mutant Grundos
by Jokerless

Mean as they are green
Their tale is one so sad
Created by Dr. Sloth himself
In his mysterious secret lab

Six feet tall and bulky
With slit eyes as red as roses
It makes me wonder just as much,
If you can tell me where their nose is? 

But a heart they have
I'm certain of that
So I tip my hat
To those who really know this

To judge by looks 
Just isn't fair! 
It's actions not words,
That prove worth of compare

If I ever come across one
I'll be sure to let him know
That I wish him a happy Mutant Day! 
It might set his heart aglow!

My favorite mutant Grundos: 
Gargarox, Beepet, and Nelunda
This hymn is dedicated to you! 
You beasts are just what other 
Neopets will have to outdo

My Dear Dr. Sloth
by Acamas

Roasted and toasted, to all that you've boasted,
For Neopets domination, fliers you've posted.
My dolls and Usukis 
With your zapping and trapping
Left with just dust 
As you smile while you're clapping.

Why Doctor Sloth? I was saving for Draiks,
If you wanted a mutant, please give me a break.
The potion you gave me smells of zombie Ixis,
Though magic's so strong 
I could swear it were Mipsy's.

Next time you visit please adhere to my plea,
A Draik Transmogrification, is all that I need.

Oh Dr. Sloth, you almighty villain
If you could just for a minute stop chillin'

And listen to my humble opinion,
Then I will be yours, one happy minion.

Mutant Bruce
by Tic2tac

Bumps and lumpy boils
Cascade down the silky green fur
Whose color slowly fades
As though time itself
Is pressing against it

In clumps it falls,
The luscious tones are on the ground
Beneath it the boils harden
Solidifying in hideous
Asymmetry 

The eyes bubble as well
Inflating like soggy balloons
Their color becomes saturated
And the sickly yellow tones
Lap up the blue irises 

Scales ascend up the 
Ruined flesh of his back
Encasing it in the rough spikes
A blue ribbon creaks and breaks
Tears and holes in the satin folds

The large, lumbering creature
Mutated and morphed
Stands surrounded by shards of glass
The remains of the cursed potion

Days for Mutants
by Laurapet131

He lifts
his foot 
from the ground
with a grunt,
inspects the slime
stuck underneath.

His shape is not
so streamlined,
giving him a hard time
walking.

He lumbers
from side to side,
lurching
like he can't
keep his balance.
Which he can't.

Two eyes blink
above a mouth
with just one tooth.
A third eye
adds a touch of unreality
to his appearance.

He can't help it.
No mutant
ever can.
But somehow he feels
worse than the rest,
somehow more
monstrous.

Just two days a year
he can feel
normal
or at least as normal
as a mutant Usul can be.

One: the 31st of the 
month of Collecting.
He can pretend
to be a costume,
even though he knows
he isn't.

Two: the 25th of the
month of Hiding.
Mutant Day.
When he is praised for
his looks, instead of
ostracized.

But two days a year
are not nearly
enough.

A Mutant Party
by Opentaniec

Welcome, stranger! Meet the menagerie.
They might be mutated, but not so eerie.
How can you pass by the pond, so uncaring,
When there are three eyes curiously staring?
Our overgrown Koi just begs for a cookie.
Watch for your hand... you were lucky!

Moving along, time to meet other guests.
Get to know them good before you assess:
The two-headed Hissi is the party’s soul.
When one head rests – he still can go on.
Watch your mouth: that Korbat’s ears
Due to mutation can hear a Mootix sneeze.

Big Kyrii’s fiery eyes evoke your fear?
But he is quite cuddly, like a teddy bear.
The athletic Grundo girl always complains,
She can’t find a cute dress fitting her size.
This mutant Blumaroo seems ill and old,
But has young spirit and a heart of gold.

The Aisha here makes candies disappear.
When his mouth is full he stuffs his ears.
Do not mind the Kau, her tentacles busy
Typing on keyboard – you will get dizzy!
Dear guest, I see a change in the attitude.
Now you know not all mutants are brute.

Thus, join the twisted evolution and be happy,
Because today "normal" means wacky!

Mutant Day Festivities
by Dragonstorm_75

Tentacles writhe, bright eyes leer,
A hundred misfits stamp and cheer!
Join the masses, join the fray!
Come and celebrate Mutant Day!

Tattered tapers hang askew,
Confetti’s stuck to blobs of glue.
Claws do not make it easy so,
Just sit back tight, enjoy the show.

Perhaps you’d like a little cake,
Pastries that our mutants make.
Is that an eyeball that you spot?
Just be glad there’s not a lot!

Maybe punch would do you good?
It ought to lighten any mood.
What do you say? Tastes like slime?
Well, we think it is sublime!

You seem tired, have a rest.
With all that fun, it’s for the best.
Don’t sit down there, that’s not a chair!
That’s a mutant Meerca’s hair!

Oh, you’re leaving? That’s a shame.
We never even got your name.
That’s fine, you say? Then adieu, goodbye!
Don’t be a stranger, don’t be shy!
We hope to see you here again,
For next year’s Mutant Day!

Mutants Love the Best
by Saqo

Long, twisty arms topped with claws. 
A hunched back and overly-large paws.
Scaly skin, mouth lined with long teeth
an attitude that often isn't calm or meek.

Mutant Neopets, it's true they abound
new species keep coming, we have found.
Some may find them frightening or gross,
this certain viewpoint is held by most.

But for those who own a mutant Neopet
there's nothing quite like it I bet,
an interesting experience every day,
as they are the best to love and play.

It is because most Neopians are afraid
to approach these 'pets and so, they
value their owners above all other species.
If you want a loving Neopet, adopt one of these.

Large eyes and ears, bodies bigger than most.
Strange colored fur, a tongue that flops out.
It's true they aren't the prettiest Neopets,
but whose to say they can't love us best?

I must admit they are a little scary
to the untrained eye, scaly and hairy.
But indiscriminate love is the lesson of Neopets
and this includes our "unique" mutant 'pets!

Happy Mutant Day!

Mutant Kiko Plushie
by Fleur_411

Up upon the shelf
Sits my little buddy
It’s true he isn’t very cuddly
He’s my Mutant Kiko Plushie!

He’s rather grey and lumpy
And maybe not so cute
He can be funny sometimes, though,
And rather astute.

We like each other’s company
And we have fun together
We love to run and play outside
In all kinds of weather.

Sometimes he is grumpy 
But today he shouts “Hooray!”
Of course he is a happy plushie
Because today is Mutant Day!

The Mutant Triffin
by Chavo_guerrero

Did you ever see a creature,
With quite so many eyes,
As the happy hairy Triffin,
In it scary mutant guise?

Eighteen orbs upon its head,
Which look both to and fro,
Some on front and some on stalks,
It looks both high and low.

A smile upon its toothy face,
It seems neither cruel nor mean,
But rather focused on one place,
I wonder what it’s seen?

Could it be it’s hungry,
And has something tasty spied?
Or could it be it’s smirking,
At some Master it’s defied?

Perhaps it’s standing waiting,
To follow someone like you,
And when you least expect it,
It could scare you with a BOO!

But I doubt that’s what it’s waiting for,
I’m pretty sure I know,
What it’s smiling and looking for,
And why it won’t just go.

It’s wanting something special,
There’s something we should say,
Let’s say it loud and shout it clear,
HAPPY MUTANT DAY!

Mutation Is A Gift
by Agedbeauty

Are mutants loveable
Or are mutants scary?
Are mutants neat
Or are they just too hairy?

Perhaps mutants are
A little bit of both!
Frightening to strangers but
Not those who know them most.

They’re oft misunderstood,
If you get my drift.
Mutation isn’t punishment – 
No, it is Sloth’s gift!

Yes, the gift of intimidation,
The gift of solitude.
For no one imagines
A lone mutant rude.

Mutants might be wicked,
But they’re also wicked-cool.
Often fierce but lovely,
An honest face that looks cruel.

The Mutant Hissi: Truth or Lie?
by Kuroge

On an eerie path down the woods,
one can see the outline of a creature
that seems to have two heads,
a very interesting and distinct feature.

Behind him -- or them -- exists many paths,
and all but one of the many roads
will lead you on an endless route
as the wise gypsy forebodes.

Perhaps you might get lucky,
or you will meet your doom;
oh, in your gloomy future
what dark and somber fates loom.

Unless, of course,
you can outwit the two-headed beast,
then perhaps from your abyss
you may be released.

Transmogrification
by Jjquil

There once was a Neopet, a shiny pink Jelly
Who felt dissatisfied with his squishy pink belly.
He was tired of being called "jiggly" and "cute"
He no longer wished to be flavored like fruit. 

His claws were too soft, his tail was congealed
His ears were too sticky, or so he appealed. 
This Jelly dreamed of someday growing tough 
To roar or to fly, to not be all fluff. 

Transmogrification, that was the key
A potion to change who he wants to be! 
A foul-smelling beverage, laced with dark power
For those brave enough 
To drink something so sour.

He saved up his Neopoints and bought the elixir 
The eery black bottle was to be his fixer. 
He uncorked the top, and with nary a pause,
Poured the bubbling goop down his jaws! 

Immediately, the tonic took effect – 
His body twisted and writhed unchecked!
Mutations were morphing his legs and arms
Bulging and spiking, to his great alarm! 

In just one moment, the ordeal was complete
He had become a mutant, 
From his ears to his feet.
Red eyes and long tail, dark wings and green fur 
Since his transformation, he's never been happier!
