 The Latest in Mutant Fashion: 13 Lurid Looks
by paulinale
--------
Mutant fashion is seldom talked about in Neopia. Their clothes and accessories do not receive as much attention as other painted neopets. In fact, it can be quite difficult to find any wearables that fit your mutant pet. More emphasis for fashion is placed on the “cuter” neopets and mutants have felt neglected. As mutant day approaches, we want to celebrate our less conventionally attractive pets and allow them to flaunt their stuff on the runway. We gathered 13 mutant models to show off various looks and outfits that hopefully awes the Neopian public and inspires mutant owners when dressing their pet.
Mutant Jetsam 
First up, we have Jack, a Mutant Jetsam, who is wearing one of the more recent outfits off the new mutant line – the mutant containment suit. Jack is modelling a stereotypical mutant look, the “laboratory experiment gone wrong.” But we all know Jack is not a result of an experiment and resides in the depths of Maraqua. He picked up a modelling gig in order to support the rest of his tentacled family.

Next up, Ken, the Mutant Kacheek, sports an elegant getup with his mutant tuxedo. He carries a beautiful white mutant tulip bouquet to show his respect for the game graveyard. Ken wishes to show Neopia that mutants can clean up nicely.

While his wings are totally nonfunctional, the gangrene colour blends well with the rest of his fur tones. His mutant spiked collar looks particularly great on neopets who walk on all fours. Er, no those chains actually were not part of his modelling outfit… he has just never been able to get them off from an unknown event a few years ago. Background: Deck the Sewers – A Mutant Christmas Decor: Caged Skeleton, Lava Puddle, Rock Gate Foreground Accessories: Chains are a Mutants BFF, Mutant Spiked Collar, Gangrene Mutant Wings Mutant Chomby  Up next, Carl, the Mutant Chomby, displays a very convincing lumberjack look perfect for the fall weather. Mutant Fall Flannel comes in a variety of colours so choose your mutant’s favourite! Carl appreciates how his shirt comes with four sleeves to fit his extra arms since his trousers only came with the standard two-pantlegs. His mutant winter boots are useful on long hikes and keep his giant feet warm. Carl highly recommends this outfit for any outdoorsy mutant. Background: Paranormal Forest Background Decor: Blinking Forest Eyes, Cannibal Bonfire Clothes: Dyeworks Red: Mutant Fall Flannel, Casual Mutant Trousers, Mutant Winter Boots Mutant Grundo  We are really trying not to perpetuate the “lab experiment” stereotype here, but George, the Mutant Grundo, insisted on modelling this look to show off his muscles and how “tough” he is. He dons a warrior’s outfit complete with a deadly weapon. He wanted action shots of him breaking the glassware in the lab, but we had no medics involved in our photoshoot so we had to settle for pre-broken glass props to ensure everyone’s safety. Background: Escaped From the Lab Background Clothes: Mutant Warrior Armour Accessories: Mutant Staff of Darkness, Dyeworks Red: Mutant Blue Glowing Contacts, Pulsing Mutant Vein Markings Mutant Hissi  Switching gears to a more fun outfit, Harry, the Mutant Hissi, flaunts off a well-thought-out carnie costume. He wanted to demonstrate a warm, inviting look for mutants by holding cute prizes like the mutant faellie plushie and giving out tons of candy. Harry’s mutant top hat, cape, and staff really sell the carnie look, as you really get the feeling he knows how to guide you through the haunted theme park behind him. Background: Haunted Theme Park Background Décor: Carnival Treats Foreground, Halloween Candy Shower Clothes: Elegant Mutant Cape, Mutant Top Hat Accessories: Mutant Faellie Handheld Plushie, Mutant Staff of Foulness, Spooky Spiderweb Mutant Markings, Lifeless Mutant Contacts Mutant Lupe  Well, here we have another mutant who wants to show off with some action shots. Larry, the Mutant Lupe, models a “hero who saves the day” look. His stylish wig gives him more a “good boy next door” vibe that allows him to sell the hero look than the usual villainous mutant look. Larry wants Neopia to know that mutants can be good guys too.

She specifically chose the mutant picnic backdrop to show her mutant pride, but also show that mutant things can be beautiful too – it isn’t always slime and drool. Annie’s pink ruffle dress would make any neopet in the ballroom jealous. Her talisman necklace and headband complete this gorgeous look.

She is absolutely breathtaking in this outfit and scenery. Her colourful apparel is enhanced by radioactive mutant markings and the glowing waterfall and crystals around her. Who said mutants can’t be glamorous? Background: Cave and Waterfall Background Décor: Shiny Crystal Stand Foreground, Winter Lights Effect Clothes: Mutant Carnivorous Plant Dress Accessories: Mutant Tentacle Wig, Radioactive Mutant Markings Mutant Wocky  Well here is a sight that may make your eyes sore. Wendy, the Mutant Wocky, begged (and bribed) the producers of this photoshoot to let her in. There is a reason the mutants keep her in their designated hideout. Even our best stylist and makeup artists could not bring her up to par with the rest of these models. Thank goodness for those lifeless mutant contacts… because otherwise her hollow red eyes would have just ruined the photo completely. Background: Mutants Hideout Background Décor: Dark Eyes Garland, Zombie Gnome Foreground Accessories: Monstrous Mutant Wings, Lifeless Mutant Contacts, Unruly Mutant Wig Mutant Blumaroo  Betty, the Mutant Blumaroo, wanted the photographers to capture her in her everyday job and attire. She is the head chef at one of Haunted Wood’s popular diners. Her apron is perfect for any mutants wanting to get their hands dirty in the kitchen. Betty uses fortified mutant weaponry as a butcher knife because she works with the toughest and weirdest meats in Neopia. Those Haunted Woods denizens request some very odd dishes. Betty wants to show the world that mutants can cook without getting drool or slime onto the plate (unless it is intentional). Background: Haunted Kitchen Background Décor: Island Chef Academy Counter, Geraptiku Cooking Pot, Food Fight Shower Clothes: Mutant Apron Accessories: Mutant Negg Flower Wig, Fortified Mutant Weaponry Mutant Techo  If you hear some tires screeching around the corner, chances are you’ll find Tommy, the Mutant Techo, who sports a hardcore biker look. Even though he really just rides an office scooter around, he will tell you he has made some major modifications to it so it operates like a roaring motorcycle. Tommy will have you eating his dust, but will do so safely as he can always be seen wearing his mutant containment helmet. Ride on, Tommy! Background: A Haunting Path Background Décor: Office Scooter, Dark and Eerie Smoke Clothes: Mutant Carnival-Goer Jacket and Top Accessories: Mutant Containment Helmet Mutant Skeith  Finally, the photographers wanted to get some candid shots of a local mutant neighbourhood. Sharon, the Mutant Skeith, can be seen here not really appreciating getting her photo taken. She is a middle-aged woman who always screams at everyone to “get off her property.” Best to leave her alone. Background: Mutant Wasteland Background Décor: Mutant Wind-up Petpets Clothes: Mutant Tattered Dress Accessories: Mutant Stylish Jet Black Wig, Dark Mutant Lantern, Dyeworks Red: Mutant Blue Glowing Contacts Well, there you have it, folks – 13 mutant looks that will be sure to inspire Neopian mutant owners. We shattered some rumours about the mutant population and showed the mutants can look beautiful too (mostly). If you have a mutant pet, why not stop by and grab some of these clothes and accessories for your neopet today? (Special thanks to donations from the Mutant Kadoaties.)
