Who\'s That Subeta Pet?

May 24, 2016 7:30 pm

We love when our users are able to be involved in the lore-building of Subeta. To that end, we'd like you to help out with the naming of a new pet species! The big reveal will be coming soon, but for now we're giving you the silhouette and some color palettes that we're using, as well as the following short description:

This pet comes from Shengui Guo and is quite large. It is gentle and wise, and has a strong connection to dreams and tea leaves. It has a long nose, tusks, and a mane that flows like it's made of spirit energy.

So let's hear your name ideas! Visit THIS FORUM THREAD to give your suggestions. Staff will pick out our 10 favourites (sorry Phanty McPhantface) and will put them in a poll for users to vote on. The winning name will become the new pet species name!

We'll stop taking suggestions on the forum thread on May 31st at 11:59PM - and the poll will be up a few days later once we've had a chance to go through the names. Now get your naming caps on!

I love that shade of green!! I can't wait for this pet

May 24, 2016, 9:18 pm by

Ahh!! My first thought was that this would be some kind of foo-dog type thing, and then I re-read it and saw the long nose bit. But still :^) THE EXCITEMENT

Ganara- Ganesh and Narasimha mixed

May 24, 2016, 9:08 pm by

Oh this is so cool. Wish I could think of something.

May 24, 2016, 8:42 pm by

Zorai- part elephant part lion.

May 24, 2016, 8:34 pm by

Aaaaah a new species! I'm so stoked. I really hope it's a baku or something similar.

Either way, I'm feeling like I'll need one of these beasties in my pet family. <3

There are so many baku-inspired names on that thread, but we already have the bhakoru. Let's not do baku. :P

May 24, 2016, 8:28 pm by

IT'S A GIANT BAKU ISN'T IT?!! :D

May 24, 2016, 8:28 pm by

It's obviously either green or pink :D

May 24, 2016, 8:26 pm by

If it's a baku, I can die smiling! Finally...

May 24, 2016, 8:23 pm by

I'm not sure if I'll be able to come up with anything but oh my goodness this pet sounds absolutely and completely marvelous and I am SO EXCITED.

May 24, 2016, 8:18 pm by

that definitely makes me feel better lol

May 24, 2016, 8:18 pm by

I love the idea of more Shengui Guo, and another new pet is great! But I have to say, my favorite thing about this cutie-to-be is the color scheme. Man that is freaking gorgeous. I can't wait to see the final reveal just to see how those colors go together!

ELEPHANT ELEPHANT ELEPHANT

May 24, 2016, 8:17 pm by

I saw an elephant tiger hybrid if it makes you feel any better.

May 24, 2016, 8:17 pm by

I also thought it might be a lion before I realized it was probably an elephant.

I'd definitely have to see the full lineart to even try coming up with a species name though. ^.^

May 24, 2016, 8:16 pm by

IT'S AN ELEPHANT MEG. AN ELEPHANT. TOOT TOOT.

May 24, 2016, 8:13 pm by

And then I read the full description. Oops. I retract my last comment lol.

May 24, 2016, 8:13 pm by

May 24, 2016, 8:12 pm by

MY ELEPHANT IS HERE I HAVE WAITED LONG AND MADE MANY SUGGESTION I AM SO HAPPY FINALLY AHHHHHH

May 24, 2016, 8:12 pm by

Everyone sees an elephant... I see a lion... Does that mean that I fail the ink blot test?!

May 24, 2016, 8:11 pm by

If it's an elephant I must have it.

May 24, 2016, 8:11 pm by

I predict this is one of those fancy guardian lions from china o:

May 24, 2016, 8:05 pm by

Ohhh a Mammoth :D

May 24, 2016, 8:05 pm by

May 24, 2016, 7:51 pm by

- well, there will soon be some form of shelled greatness. Not a pet, but at least something to feast your eyes on ;)

May 24, 2016, 7:51 pm by

I love thos participation in the lore building. 😊

May 24, 2016, 7:50 pm by

PLEEEAAAASE I want a shelled pet ;3;

May 24, 2016, 7:49 pm by

- nice spot, we've been working on filling that alphabet with the last few pets!

May 24, 2016, 7:48 pm by

- WE'RE WORKING OUR WAY THROUGH THE PET SUGGESTIONS LISTS, IT TAKES A WHILE

May 24, 2016, 7:48 pm by

- we'd like to leave the full reveal something of a surprise :)

May 24, 2016, 7:46 pm by

2017: year of the snail (wouldn't that be fun)

May 24, 2016, 7:46 pm by

ohhh my gosh here's hoping it's as gorgeous as it sounds like it'll be

May 24, 2016, 7:46 pm by

So we get an elephant. HOW ABOUT A SNAIL, SUBETA? CAN WE GET A SNAIL YET?

May 24, 2016, 7:45 pm by

oh this is exciting

May 24, 2016, 7:45 pm by

Yay, a new pet! Very fun and exciting. :) Colour palette looks beautiful.

May 24, 2016, 7:42 pm by

I think it's an elephant =D

May 24, 2016, 7:40 pm by

Oh, that is most certainly a baku. I'll leave this to someone who is Japanese and can decide on what a good alternative name would be. Those colors are stunning.

May 24, 2016, 7:40 pm by

I guess they have heard about other polls where the boat was suppose to be named boaty mcboatface...and the horsey mchorse face. LOL

May 24, 2016, 7:40 pm by

Whooooosee that Pokemon?!

Do we not actually get to see it before we name it? Because the look of it would help influence names instead of just going off of a silhouette and a description.
