The Mutant Altachuck


by centotch

--------

Be quiet if you venture near this strange little Petpet
As it is startled by loud noises
I'm talking about an Altachuck
Though this one was changed by its owner's choices

It used to be white and grey like all the rest
But now it is blue and orange, still quite recognisable
Though since the change its teeth have grown a bit
If it eats your food the bites will be quite sizeable

Its past owner used to set things down loudly in the house
And this poor Altachuck would run for cover every time
The owner got fed up and turned it into a Mutant
Though I suppose most would not mind

For food this Altachuck prefers to eat nuts and berries
But ever since becoming Mutant it prefers the squishy kind
So don't be afraid to leave some out to rot
Yes, quite strange, it even prefers watermelon with the rind

Be sure to tell your Neopet to be still around it
As sudden movements are not its thing
Even becoming a Mutant did not help this
Move too quickly, and it will panic; you'll have a Petpet that is like a spring

I suppose it might not mind the change
As it has grown quite strong since becoming a Mutant
I heard the Turmaculus will not even take a bite
And he is not known for being prudent

Petpets I Would Feed to Florg the Mutant Chia
Let’s be for real, not all Petpets are created equal. Some Petpets are adorable little companions that deserve hugs, forehead kisses, and comfy beds for peaceful sleeps. Others look creepy, or weird, or like they’re staring directly into your soul. Collab with togepwi & qlobal
