Shades of Spooky: 9 Costume Ideas for Grey Pets

HAUNTED WOODS – It’s that spooky time of year again, when Pets of all shapes and stripes set out in their best costumes looking for adventures and sweets. But as the Grey Curse marks its second Halloween in Neopia, many Pets have been left feeling a lot more ‘sullen’ than they are ‘scary’. With many of our dearest Pets turned grey by the curse, and with no cure for their affliction in sight, some might find choosing a costume to get their newly greyed Pets into the Halloween spirit an impossible task. Luckily, this is far from the case. There are many spooky characters and figures from across Neopia who have been grey all along, at least on the inside! Their dampened mood and weary outlook make them the perfect subjects for a grey pet’s Halloween costume. This article features the top ten spookiest costumes for your Grey Pets, from easiest to toughest to pull off. We’ll even throw in some choice items to make your costume complete, and a simple catchphrase to help your pet embody that character! 1. Sleepy Zombie Catchphrase: Ughhh... Naaaapsss... Possible Wearables: Singed Trousers, Not Enough Sleep Wig, Bloodshot Eye Contacts First on our list, and our easiest for a grey pet to pull off, is a simple Zombie costume. No one likes being woken up, especially if they were promised eternal slumber, and Grey Pets can use that grumpiness to their advantage! Plus, that grey skin is a perfect match for undead flesh, no cosmetics required. A switch from "boohooo…." to "braiiiins….." might be easier than you might expect!
