How to Choose a Petpet for Your Mutant Pet



Mutant Pets have some of the coolest designs out there, but their customization options are a lot more limited than other Pets. If you want to give your Mutant some extra pizzazz on their lookup, giving them a Petpet is the way to go. But how can you possibly decide what to choose with so many Petpets out there? Well, you’re in luck, because I’m going to demonstrate some of my favourite strategies to find that perfect fit! Option 1: Spooky Petpets They’re a classic for a reason, right? Mutant Pets and cute-but-creepy Petpets go together like peanut butter and Jellied Eyeballs. For this category, I’ve chosen the Mutant Cybunny as a model. For this Pet, which has a lovely grey-coloured coat and charming red eyes, the Droolik would be my spooky Petpet of choice. This adorable little creature has a grey colour, soulful orange eyes, and long floppy ears just like the Cybunny. Drooliks aren’t the most active Petpets, making them the perfect companion for the Mutant Cybunny who likes to spend their days scheming. But if you can’t stomach that price tag, the Gnar would be my next recommendation. This is more of a personality match- just look at that keen expression! I also find the blue of the Cybunny’s nose is nicely evoked by the fur on the Gnar’s head. If you have the budget for it, I think the Gnar looks especially striking when painted Black. Pros: match a spooky theme well, often cheaper Cons: may be too popular for those who want to stand out Option 2: Land of Origin For those who want to think a little more creatively, choosing a Petpet that comes from the same land as your Pet’s species might be the way to go.
