Chelon, nice but never thought of using turtles for anything. But turns out a galactic one makes a great spaceship stand-in (steamwork too, though I like the stars too much to go steamwork).
Also Noktoa, they came out around the Neela I think? And I was like, look at these effin hipster pets, just look at those, I'll never need those. But now I have a perfect beautiful handsome glade noktoa and he's gorgeous and beautiful and I love him, precious thing.
I never thought I'd own an ontra, but after that revamp I want literally all of the common colors.
DESPERATELY LOOKING TO BUY:
Kanis and Archan. The Kanis design has always left a lot to be desired so I've never been a huge fan of them. But the Glade one is nice and suits my WSD fan oc. I'm not fond of the Archan design either except for the Hydrus one. But I am hoping for a Hydrus Tigrean revamp so that might change.
Before I decided to bring my love of snails to Subeta pets, I didn't ever think I would have experiment , but they're the only "snail" species option to go with. I'm not overly fond of the species because its so masculine and somewhat ebil looking but its all I have!
A Kumos. I wasn't into Kumos when I first joined and I told myself I would never get one...then the Sweetheart Kumos came out XD and well...cuddles Roselle. Couldn't help myself, it was too much of a beauty not to get :)!
"A beautiful woman uses her lips for truth, her voice for kindness, her ears for compassion, her hands for charity and her heart love. For those who do not like her, she uses prayer."
Never thought I'd have a Chelon or Wyllop, (I was never too fond of either, sort of a "they're cute and ok but I don't want any" thing), but here I am with one of each...
Neeeever thought I'd own a Torrey, honestly! I really don't care for them as a species, but the Reborn Torrey suited my pet Junielle so much that I just had to potion her into one. I'm really glad I did!

I honestly never thought I'd own any festers because I really did not like the old art. But since the design update/change I currently have 2 haha. I have grown to really like them.
Anything that isn't a Telenine, really.
(specifically never thought I'd have a Dillema, Harvester, or Bumbus)
Never in a million years thought I'd own an ontra-- and yet. Talk about a cute af redesign.
A telenine. I'm not a huge fan of them buuut the bloodred went so perfectly for my pet Fangs. So I have one. But that's probably going to be the only one lol.
A common posed Ontra. And now here I am owning a Dusk Ontra and I never want him to be a special color. The blue is just too perfect for him and his character.
never thought I'd wind up with a neela and 3 chibi pets (and on top of that, my 3 favorite chibis). also it took me wayyyy too long to track down an experiment but I finally did it. hooray:)
Never thought I'd ever have the amount of Angelic pets I have today. I'm still in awe that I have four currently, and am working towards a fifth. I seem to have very expensive tastes, yo XD
I never ever thought that the Chelon, Noktoa or the Velosotor would grow on me in the way they have done, but now I want one of each. Especially that Nostalgic Chelon...would go great with my Nostalgic Endeavor, haha.
And the Ontra is a new love too, no idea about the colouration yet though :)
Find me on Bluesky: <3
I never thought I'd have as many Endeavors as I do. I "only" have three, though I've accumulated them randomly from adoptions and zapping. I used to have this idea that no matter how many pets I had, each one would be a different species. Now I have multiple Jollins and Endeavors haha.
My scribble Manchu. I don't like that species in general (nothing personal, just not my cuppa) but this was the most fitting species for that character-- and I gotta admit, having one has made the species grow on me.
A Darkonite. I used to get annoyed back in the day with the V1 zapper because it would always give me Darkos (even more than Swampies). But it has really been growing on me, particularly the glade one, which I made my pet Land. I think it might be my favorite glade pet--next to the Cybill of course.
oh oh oh, and I also never thought I'd own a pet with a space in its name, but then I realized that I needed a pet to memorialize my beloved bird Fable, who is sadly no longer with me. Fable was taken, and I really don't like underscores or numbers, so I tried to get creative. Then I remember my sister kidding around and giving all our pets middle names. She gave Fable "Jerome," and it kind of stuck. Now I could never part with him. Heck, I don't think I'd even accept the name Fable if it were offered to me. Fable Jerome just works now. I'm not sure the Chibi Irion still fits him since it's been revamped, but for now I'm going to keep him as is.
...
Never thought I'd have a common pet that I'd keep that way but... Artie just fits SO WELL with the design, I barely had to do anything for his overlay... Never though I'd have a nostalgic pet, ever, but here we are with Van. (need to actually get around to MAKING her one, but you know.)

I never imagined owning a Serpenth. Once they started to be revamped, I did enjoy them a lot more but still never thought of getting one myself. While looking through pets, the Nightmare Serpenth kind of stuck out to me. It was out of the blue since I've seen it before and thought nothing of it. And then I came up with a story idea for one recently and now I have one myself!
A second pet would be the Nightmare Charlie. Granted, he's been one for a while now, but at the time I would've never owned a Charlie. However, the pose and expression on his face seemed very fitting for Autocorrect and I couldn't pass it up xD
