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 really can't wait to see how this pet looks! The suspense is killing me! xD

May 26, 2016, 4:01 am by

there are some pretty cool names being suggested so far but i really hope the final one doesn't include "baku" at all. we already have bhakoru; they sound so similar and that would kill the hype for me tbh. but i still can't wait to see what it looks like! the pallets are gorgeous!

May 26, 2016, 2:28 am by

Just a suggestion, but since a lot of subeta pets have mini-versions of themselves as minions, can some of the finalist names be recycled to name the minion-spinoffs of it?

May 25, 2016, 10:48 am by

Yus! Just when I was planning a Baku inspired pet we might get a whole breed onsite <3

May 25, 2016, 10:27 am by

I would hate to be the staff who has to read through thousands of posts and write all the name suggestions down. Good luck with that. Anxious to see the poll. :)

May 25, 2016, 10:14 am by

This is so exciting, oh. My heart. ;__;

May 25, 2016, 10:08 am by

Xiàng is Chinese for Elephant Z? is Japanese for Elephant (I used a translator so it probably is not 100% accurate)

Since it's from Shengui Guo and that place is based off of Asian cultures, maybe take some of the words from some of the languages!

So excited for this new pet... !!!

May 25, 2016, 9:38 am by

Keshavan or Kandula --can't wait to see it!

May 25, 2016, 8:44 am by

There's already really good name suggestions, so I'm just going to wait until the poll happens. ^^

May 25, 2016, 7:37 am by

Such a pretty palette ^_^

May 25, 2016, 5:27 am by

Yes!!!! As on facebook, woooo finally! Now reminder will have a subeta pet equivalent before I get an overlay. I hope the board of pictures gives a cool idea for the special pose ones.

May 25, 2016, 4:56 am by

IT'S PIKACHU!!

May 25, 2016, 4:05 am by

Benephant is my choice (at the moment)

May 25, 2016, 3:51 am by

Oooh, I can't wait to see it!

May 25, 2016, 1:19 am by

I actually really like this idea for a casual prizeless naming competition. :)

May 25, 2016, 12:58 am by

im looking forward to seeing people's PHANtastic ideas........................................

May 25, 2016, 12:31 am by

omg is this a new pet seriously? Omg this is incredibly exciting! I can't wait to see what it is. Really hoping it's not an elephant like some are guessing. But now looking at its shadow more, it probably is and my excitement is now dwindling to absolutely nothing. x.x

May 25, 2016, 12:10 am by

Can I call it a heffalump?

May 24, 2016, 11:40 pm by

"(sorry Phanty McPhantface)" Awwww..... :(

May 24, 2016, 11:20 pm by

Gajasimha after a mythological creature from southern Asia that has the head of an elephant an the body of a lion.

May 24, 2016, 11:08 pm by

Pretty color palattes!

May 24, 2016, 11:06 pm by

So many elephant-themed suggestions (understandable what with the nose and the tusks) but if it's a baku-inspired critter then wouldn't tapir-names be more appropriate? I'll have to ponder it...

May 24, 2016, 10:09 pm by

Hey..y..if subetateam chooses a name inspired by an actual language, please, please run it by a native speaker first, rather than just picking words out of a dictionary, because, some of the stuff suggested..........

May 24, 2016, 10:06 pm by

OMG! It's a Baku!! Ar...em... Psy..phan...Psyku... I dont't know, but i want it! <3

I shall call him Bob, but then I name everything Bob, lol.

May 24, 2016, 9:54 pm by

Everyone definitely has their work cut out for them!

May 24, 2016, 9:50 pm by

O M G

It's totally inspired from baku of some sort isn't it, haha (Yeah I know y'all can't answer). I mean just look at the recent cool dream-themed items that were released!

Oh, man... The possibility that Remnants is gonna FINALLY have a more appropriate species choice has me so excited holy hell. Like, the hippotu are nice but it was always just a "I'm settling" sort of choice for me because there wasn't anything remotely close to baku on this site.

May 24, 2016, 9:50 pm by

Leophant xD haha I'm not the only one who thought lion before reading the description! But omg I need this pet! I can't think of names right now, but can't wait to see what people come up with.
