Welcome the Zasaba!

April 11, 2016 2:12 pm

Spring flowers have appeared all over Shengui Guo and with them, something quite special - the Zasaba! Zasaba eggs hatch around the time of "flower-viewing", and it's said that the one that spots the first hatchling in an area is considered to have great luck for the rest of the year.

Inhabitants of Shengui Guo have raised these insect pets for many years now, and as they were aware of their imminent arrival, were able to work with the Create-A-Pet Center to bring them to you!

Keep a look out for more Zasaba related things this week!

Note: Please keep all comments on the topic of the Zasaba!

Okay, so I am not a big bug person, but the colors on the common are totally gorgeous!!! And I love the aqua. ;A; Tempting. TEMPTING.

April 11, 2016, 5:14 pm by

I love the Aqua and Twilight versions!!! Finally a solution to my pet species problems

April 11, 2016, 5:11 pm by

Oh my god, one of my favorite critters from the insect world. It makes me absolutely giddy to finally see one of my favorite species as a Subeta pet! Not sure if I have any room for him, but I might dabble and find a pet of mine that I want to change into a Zasaba.

Darn it, now I want one... Curse you and the fact that I have a weakness for mantids!

April 11, 2016, 5:07 pm by

Yaaaay, another insect pet!

April 11, 2016, 4:58 pm by

Love my new pet for its uniqueness and the common colour is very striking. My newest pet Insecta wants to be a musician.

April 11, 2016, 4:55 pm by

Wow, they sure are pretty! Though, I'm not so sure I want to own one - at least not yet.

April 11, 2016, 4:54 pm by

Love the common coloring for it!

April 11, 2016, 4:54 pm by

Also, the Scribble Zasaba's face looks like this thing.

April 11, 2016, 4:53 pm by

BAH!

*Here's hoping that you can post links in the news, or else this post will be PAINFUL to look at...

Fantastic!! :D I was worried after the silhouette in the news that it would look too much like the ruki, but this is very much it's own creature and I love it! <3 Cute name too ^_^ Nostalgic of course would be cool as origami, maybe out of coconut or bamboo leaves instead of paper! But it could also be one of those plastic pretend bugs we've all seen/had or some other creative art. This isn't quite origami but still amazing work! I was exploring images and saw versions of praying mantis crafts that were beaded, felted, crocheted, carved, welded, made of legos, even something like this guy. lol Is there a forum somewhere for ideas because I've got some images to post!!!

Really excited to have a bug pet :3

April 11, 2016, 4:45 pm by

ooooo I need one 0 but I don't have any free slots and it doesn't really fit any of my existing pets ;A; whyy

April 11, 2016, 4:42 pm by

The colors and little details are so well done. I love it! :D

April 11, 2016, 4:41 pm by

OH WOW THE COLORS. THEY LOOK AMAZING (Didn't notice before because my Laptop suuuuucks at color display)

April 11, 2016, 4:40 pm by

Oooh, I wanna see how you're gonna pull off a graveyard one <3

April 11, 2016, 4:40 pm by

These are cute! Something about the face seems a little off to me, not sure whether it's the eyes or the mouth area but thats just a personal tick. Really nice color scheme for common!

April 11, 2016, 4:39 pm by

I like the common color palette.

April 11, 2016, 4:37 pm by

I like how well incorporated the colors are in all the markings! Really shows off the accents of all the basic color schemes

April 11, 2016, 4:27 pm by

Also I disagree with all the Ruki comparisons: they're similar only in that they're both mantis-based. The Zasaba is more elegant and also retains more of the features that make mantises beautiful and visually interesting, instead of being... some kind of weird alienbugtaur? (The ruki was hideous, tbh.)

April 11, 2016, 4:26 pm by

come back when you have the glade available

MORFRAN NEEDS TO BE GLADE HURRY UP HURRY UP I LOVE U HURRY UP FEEL BETTER BUT HURRY UP ALSO

April 11, 2016, 4:25 pm by

This is really cool! Thanks for releasing a new pet species!

April 11, 2016, 4:23 pm by

ohhh man I want one. im gonna wait until it gets some of the other special colours bc special colours are life. but that dawn is tempting aaa

April 11, 2016, 4:20 pm by

what a frickin' cutie!! i gotta have one immediately. thanks for the new bug friend.

April 11, 2016, 4:15 pm by

I can't wait to see the special pose colors for these.

April 11, 2016, 4:14 pm by

applause That common color scheme is lovely ^~^

April 11, 2016, 4:12 pm by

I love them! I love mantises and these are such a beautiful take on them!

April 11, 2016, 4:12 pm by

Yup, it does remind me way too much of a certain other pet, but, like everything else, Subeta's version is better. I'm not gonna jump out and get one right away, but I am excited to see new poses for other colors! Maybe I'll start seeing a Zasaba (super fun name!) when I see a bit of personality shine through. The common color is quite beautiful ❤️

April 11, 2016, 4:10 pm by

I lov u subeta rukis

April 11, 2016, 4:10 pm by

Aww, I've definitely gotta have one of these cuties! Really love the Sun color, and the lil green-tinted wings on Nuclear are a great touch <3 Can't wait to see what this species will look like in some of the other colors!

April 11, 2016, 4:09 pm by

I hate bugs, but boy do I need one of those! ;3;

April 11, 2016, 4:09 pm by

I WANT IT SO BADLY. SOVERYBADLY.

April 11, 2016, 4:01 pm by

We asked for insecty-ness and it is provided! :)

wishing Wings as a HA wearable, wings as a HA wearable...

April 11, 2016, 4:00 pm by

My first thought was Ruki, too. I prob won't ever own one but many seem happy about this so that's always a good thing :)

April 11, 2016, 3:58 pm by

NICE

Twilight and Lilac are probably my favorite out of the default pose colors, but I actually really like the basic color too! Might wait for the glade version to come out before adopting one of these babies, but it'll definitely happen. ❤️

April 11, 2016, 3:56 pm by

finally a use for at least ONE of my potions :|

April 11, 2016, 3:46 pm by

Omg I love it ;-; It is not /that/ much like a Ruki, besides both being matids

April 11, 2016, 3:45 pm by

waits for the elixir / whatever way we'll be able to change a pet into that species Sod's law that it's released after I fill my final pet slot :P

April 11, 2016, 3:45 pm by

MORE INVERTEBRATE PETS! when nobody else delivers Subeta does. god bless you guys

April 11, 2016, 3:44 pm by

OH HELL YES

April 11, 2016, 3:43 pm by

It figures...I use up the pet slot I saved up for forever and the next day...mantises. headdesk It will only be the next Ice Age before I can afford the next one. But, anyway, these look great. I love mantises and and it's nice to see more bugs :)

April 11, 2016, 3:41 pm by

Always cool to have a new pet, hope it gets more love than the poor Noktoa colours.

April 11, 2016, 3:41 pm by

Yesss, I'm so glad we have another buggy pet. Now I just need an elixir. -crosses fingers-

That Common palette though ❤️

April 11, 2016, 3:39 pm by

I want 20 of them! :D

April 11, 2016, 3:35 pm by

When I first saw the new pet. I instantly thought of a Ruki. I just saw someone post the same thing. I like both though. Can't wait to see Nightmare, Bloodred, and Spectrum versions.
