A Mutated Friend for Your Beastly Neopet

---Starring Chessangie the Royalgirl Draik, Chessella the Pastel Draik, Maldice the Stealthy Draik, and Christine, their owner!--- Christine: Welcome! Does your creepy Neopet need a friend? Well, there are plenty of creepy Petpets in Neopia to keep your pet company! Angie: Do they bite? I would think so! ---frowns--- Maldice: Relax. We will be observing these wild specimens at a safe distance. Angie: Good... Ella: I hear that Mutant Petpets can do lots of crazy things, such as vicious biting or even casting certain spells! Look from afar. Christine: That’s why they would be perfect for creepy Neopets in search of a friend. In honour of the Mutant edition of the Neopian Times, we will be observing several Mutant Petpets today. Without further ado, here are the Petpets: ---Mutant Bearog--- Angie: Well, this one isn’t so bad. Very cute! I suppose it’s a “Mutant” because it is a cross between a bear and a dog? Maldice: That’s where you’re wrong. Bearogs are supposed to have three heads. The Mutant Bearog only has one. An unpainted Bearog looks like this: Angie: Oh, dear... ---The Mutant Bearog bares its teeth and barks at Angie.--- Angie: Oh, no! Don’t tell me he’s mean! Ella: Hey, wild creatures from the Haunted Woods aren’t exactly known for being cuddly bundles of love... Maldice: If you love puppies, Warfs are friendly! Angie: True... But I already have a Petpet. Christine: Anyway, it’s a shame that this Mutant Bearog is mean and wants to bite Angie’s head off, or else I’d gladly keep him as a pet, since I love dogs. Onto the next scary Petpet...
