Top 10 Mutant Neopet Colours



If there's one thing we all love, it's new colours. But one colour a lot of Neopians never think about is Mutant. It's not hard to see why; Mutants were created by Dr. Sloth, and no one wants to be associated with him. That, and almost nobody makes clothes for Mutants! But somehow, transmogrification potions are still a hot commodity, costing upwards of 900,000 NP! So if you plan on buying one, you'd better make sure you're getting the species potion that's right for you. And that's where I come in! See, Mutant is a colour I find incredibly interesting, so I figured, "why not rank what species look best mutated?" So here you go, my list of the Top 10 Mutant Neopian Species! 10. Flotsam The Mutant Flotsam is not a complicated beast, just two extra pairs of eyes and some extra dorsal fins, but that's where the beauty of it is. Some might be put off by their strangely-shaped mouths or green drool, but come on, these are Mutants! If there's nothing particularly off-putting about them, they might as well just be painted. Besides, those extra dorsal fins add a certain coolness to the typically-cute species...and speaking of cute, don't you dare try to tell me those six eyes aren't the most adorable things you've ever seen! 9. Vandagyre Halving the number of eyes, we have the Mutant Vandagyre! The most appealing features of the Vandagyre -- their big eyes, small beak, philanges, and tail feathers -- have been distorted in the best ways possible.
