^^^THIS. I forgot about the Escalade! It's always been one of those pets that I have no freakin idea what it's supposed to be. Other than being vaguely inspired by those legendary dog pokemon maybe. That helmet and the frog face just always threw me off. That's cool that the Qrykees up there, Subeta needs more cool reptile guys!
Faves:
Not my thing:
Blob and Hipottu.
These are some NOICE top favs! 👌😌
Top favourites - In no particular order.
Experiment

Noktoa


Illumis


Bottom favourites
Tutani


Antlephore


Telenine


Favorite
Ontra Demi Popoko
Worst
There isn't one, each pet has its own niche.
Best:


reasons
<3 red pandas
The details on the owl is great
I like how versatile the pet is with the different colors


reasons
Bees should be cute. This one is not.
Could've been a great rock/gem design, instead it's a nondescript... thing.
Hate the helmet/face. Fine otherwise.
Faves:
Endeavor - Love a lot of the colors for this species Tigrean - Love the expression in their faces Qrykee - Love this prehistoric gator in literally almost every color
Pets I find the most boring: Experiment - I just never liked this thing Hipottu Dragarth - there are so many other dragonesque pets (mahar, endeavor, magnus, rreign, Paralix) that this one is completely lackluster
Faves!
. Warador

. Neela
Cadogre

least favs (this was a hard list to make since i dont really hate any of the pets and do think they all have some individual quality)
dragarth


Torrent


Montre


I also picked what i thought was the best selection of colors for each pet : )
Wait this is such a fun idea, love seeing everyone's reasons for their faves and least faves. lol forever at "it's just a duck" cuz that's how I feel about a few pets as well (antlephore, chelon for example). I don't have favorite species in general but specific color/species combos.
nightmare and glacier harvester
They're just so gorgeously detailed, they look actually DEAD, and absolutely intimidating.
glacier qrykee
Such a gorgeous, icy beast. Frozen in time. I have one of these, she collects beautiful things.
mahars, gold, glacier and graveyard
experimentssss
Also I realized I love A L L of the wyllops, they're so C U T E. Wyllops here. Also all of the riftborn pets!! Best color evaaahhhh, rift pets here!
Favorites:
1 - hipottu
I adore the art quality and design so much! I'm not generally a huge fan of hippos IRL but for some reason the hipottu is just my very most favorite. I also feel like it works super well for orc characters too for some reason (maybe the visible teeth and hippos being bulky, I dunno), and I love making orcs and half-orcs. c':
2 - ontra
I love the design so much and the art quality is amazing. Seriously amazing pet, I love it so much.
3 - telenine
Sabertooth wolf with cool stego spines on its back!! I love this species, and it has some amazing art quality in the colors.
Not gonna do least favorites because I just wanna gush about my faves~

1 - Legeica


they look so mystical, gentle, and refined~ it was hard to pick only 3 colors for them since almost all of them are amazing! i had to have the lilac though, as a lilac legeica was my first and is my "main" pet.
2 - Noktoa


another magical looking pet! i don't think the noktoa even have a bad color. all their basic ones look amazing, even. i love the decision to give them the crescent moon symbol and the little antlers! they look like the perfect wise forest guardian.
3 - Chai


it wasn't until recently i was really drawn to the chai. but now i think they're the perfect cute pet! and they're another one whose basic colors are all wonderful! i don't think i'd mind having a little chai family~
and now, maybe not necessarily my least favorites, but my most disappointing? these are pets that i feel have a lot of... wasted? potential. i tried to pick my favorite 3 colors again.
1 - Swampie


so, the glade swampie is actually amazing! but... it's the only color for them that i don't dislike. i feel like the idea of a loch ness monster, aquatic dinosaur type creature should be so much more than what we have. the swampie is so boring, and i'm sad that it's not cooler, because i want to like it so bad!
2 - Antlephore


oh, antlephore... for so long i have wanted to like you. for so long i have awaited a revamp that bites the bullet and changes your stupid face. but alas, you are the same as ever. i agree with what said; we have outgrown its derpy look. let's have an actual deer pet instead! ...please?
3 - Ghostly


i don't really understand what exactly the ghostly is supposed to be... but i don't like it... for some reason the part that upsets me the most is their little neck ruffles. i feel like the design is all over the place but also far too simple. sadly, i don't have anything positive to say about them. and i feel bad about it. u_u
Really hard to only pick 3! But my favourites are probably:
Gosh it's hard to pick 3.
My top faves might be a little biased:
since I have them as pets cough cough :)
1. Montre
2. Jollin -- Foxes? Love!
3. Experiment (in Chibi form!)
Never been a fan of these:
1. Dillema
2. Warador
Just No.
3. Experiment // -- sorry, had to cheat here, but I hate spiders. Ick.

They all mostly fit the same vibe, but man I'm in love with that vibe. I should branch out a little more lol.
not that into

yes pls


this was so hard? I really love certain species/color combos but I've never really focussed on a specific species. for example, I love the Glade Clawsion but the other colors don't really do much for me. I have like 4 popokos because I love all things cute and the spectrum kerubi is the reason I joined subeta all those years ago!
special mention

shoutout to the and who deserve to be a whole species I s2g
no thank u


this was hard but it also reminded me that the really looks like that so
Celinox
I am a total cat person, and Feli is just too cutesy for me. Celinoxes are definitely my favorite!

Irion
Just an all-round beautiful pet.

Cadogre
This is actually a newer favorite for me. I love the robot-with-emotions concept in general, and I like most of the art.

Darkonite is an honorable mention. Love Serpenths too but dislike some of the updated art. LOVE some of the new experiments, too ( is one I actually want).
I actually don't care for...a LOT of pets, but I don't think they're bad, they're just not my thing. I'll just put a few I know I'll definitely never get.
Not really into these guys


Favs


I just really love the Telenine and the Montre, canine pets have just always been a favourite, the Ontra I just love the art for, I think it's adorable!
It's a no from me


I have colors and art that I like of all these pets, but I just don't see myself ever owning them
