Thanks to your feedback, the hipposaru has been revamped and will be known as the hipottu from now on. Although subtle, this change was made to avoid associating it so closely with foreign creatures from other planets. ;)

We'll be updating items around the site today to reflect this change.

Yes, much better without the dark spot on it's back and the chibi wings! These are fantastic! Nice job, artist!

Love the name choice. Revamp's cute, but I actually miss the armor plating on the back.

I like the old name. However, it does look fancy. Doesn't really affect Enzu much though... xD

Not to be rude, but the revamp made it not look like a hippo anymore... It looks closer to a dinosaur or some strange alien creature.

Don't get me wrong, it is a great revamp. The colors are brilliant and it was drawn beautifully. It just doesn't look like a hippo.

Though this was never a pet I was interested in nor would have as a pet... I am wondering why after all the varying forms of input on how it could be better it was not put up for revote like many pets in the past?

Okay. Making things clear.

Quote:

; border: 1px solid ; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;">foreign creatures from other planets
This statement refers to HIPPOS. On EARTH. Not Neopets, not some random thing, EARTH. The name Hipposaru represented hippos. They asked for name suggestions in a separate thread and someone suggested Hipottu after seeing the green and gold markings and thinking that they resembled Bindi marks. Hipottu is another word for bindi in an Indian dialect(or two)

I hope this made things clearer. Staff: If I'm incorrect, please correct me. But I think I have the right idea.

I like the art better than before, but the name change is just like....Wow. Hipottu sounds closer to Hippopotamus than Hipposaru ever did, and your explanation makes me lawl. "Kiboko is just another name for Hippo."..."Let's name it Hippo." I really couldn't care less about what you call it, but that was just funny.

I think it's cute. The wings look a little bit of an afterthought, but overall I really like it. But I don't like the new name as much. Hipposauru was better imo. But lepersauru was the best lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

Looks very pretty now! And, I have to say it... Thank goodness the name was not changed to 'kiboko'!

Oh my god, I must have one! 8D I was just for a minute a little disappointed that Kiboko wasn't chosen as the name, but I can understand it sounding like 'Popoko'. I adore the artwork, and am right now looking into basic colours of the Hipottu to turn one of my pets. At least until the other colours get revamped. ;D

This must be one of the best pet revamps ever =) Although the name is rather odd. I read 'Hipottu' as 'Hi, potty!' ... Er, maybe I just have difficulty reading things.

pff, i am disappointed. i liked the small wings better.... i hate it how some people can ruin a great revamp with lame suggestions. those small wings were adorable. oh well, whatever. i don't have a hipottu (at the moment), so it doesn't matter. and if i get one, i'll use the first revamp with the small wings as an overlay saves picture

Oh, yay! I'm set with pets, but I still am loving this revamp! The henna-like markings (actually, they remind me of a succession of bindis more than anything) are a really lovely touch.

As great as the art is, I think I will change my hipposaru into another species. This is the first revamp of any kind that I actually dislike.

Great job! The tweaking really helped pull the look together. However I can't say I'm a fan of the name. :/

I'm really not fond of the name change. Hippotu just doesn't sound as nice as Hipposaru. Doesn't flow as well. /: Ah well.

The art, however, is adorable, but I don't think I'd get one. The buck teeth throw it for me haha.

I don't really know what to say on the name. Whatever, I'll get used to it. It is nice to see it get a revamp, though. I do like those markings. Reminds me of Indian stuff.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

Hmm. While I like the new revamp better than the old one, I still think I prefer "hipposaru" over the new name. I can see why they decided to change the name, and it's not bad; I just prefer the old one. :3 Overall, I do like it better, though. xD
