Welcome the Zasaba!
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!

Yay mantis wasp bug. :D I like the weave pattern on its abdomen - I hope we get a colour where more of it is visible.
The funny part about this to me is that I just got a pet praying mantis about a month ago and it looks a lot like the marsh one! Go figure haha
Oh my goooooooood I love them ;w; Mantises are so cute..... I can definetly see myself getting one of these in the future, when there's new colors and I have space lol
I love the position these guys are in. It reminds me of the weird pose people stick girls in on comic book covers. http://41.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mefcdkgooN1riso5no1_1280.jpg
I thought I accidentally ended up on Neopets when I saw these haha.
Very similar to the Ruki.
I'm so excited to see another pet, they look awesome!

the more I look at these the more they tend to put me in mind of the Priest Kings from the Gor books or the Choja from the Riftwar Cycle books
omg, the Bloodred one is going to be vicious. i'm not even into that sort of thing and i can't wait to see it!
i love when a pet's Common color is actually really pretty. it makes Common seem special and not just "oh, i got a new pet and now i have to change it to a cool color ASAP" c':

(however i hope to see the day where a cartoon mantid doesn't have the end of its forelegs cut off)

As a person who detests bugs and insects and had bad memories with insects, my answer is just a simple word: Ewww.... This species is something I definitely won't adopt.
But the design, with the exception of the face are looks quite OK. Two details I like are: the shield-like pauldrons and the wings. So great job on the artist for that.

Awesome! I was wondering when we were going to have more bug pets added and I love mantids. <3
They're absolutely gorgeous! My favorite colors are Common and Aqua.
Also, I don't understand why people are saying they look too much like Rukis? They're look nothing alike asides from being based on the same creature...

Dont think it looks like the ruki from neopets. That thing looks like a cheesy human/bug hybrid of cringe. I think this looks like a bug. A cute, praying mantis bug. I personally like it. Reading some of the comments had me so "eh" like people are desperately searching to find something wrong with it (i mean you cant please everyone)... Sometimes you have to remember someone put time into drawing/making this and I think the artist did a great job! Bug lovers rejoice!
I'm really not into bugs (and I mean really) but I must comment on how beautifully done these are! Fantastic job to the artist!
I can just imagine someone getting a Field Zasaba and naming it Scyther. xD

Pretty sure my eyes just lit up.
These are so great! Common, Aqua, Cherry, Twilight, and Scribble especially. Can't wait for the elixirs!
Thank you Subeta & Artist!!

Awesome! I need to make Mr. Morden into one of these :D Though his multiple eyes right now are still Shadow-esque... Hmmn.
The Angel version had better be an orchid mantis with intricate wings or I will literally die. Look at what this artist did: http://orig00.deviantart.net/a72b/f/2015/127/d/2/d2dbc4c0bac150c0880cb6b4c798314c-d8sgsxh.jpg
It's heartwarming to see so many fawn over an insect pet that ACTUALLY FREAKING RESEMBLES AN INSECT. So many arthropods in other games, pet sites, cartoons and movies have those awful cartoon human faces on them, as if that's supposed to be cute, when it just looks uncanny and jarring.
Interestingly, the Zasaba's facial anatomy appears to be that of a hornet, rather than a mantis, making it a hybrid insect. The antennae are especially those of a Hymenopteran.

Yay!!! Must. Own. Dusk. Zasaba! I can't wait to see what a galactic, storm, or nightmare one looks like. ^_^
Ooh, I can't wait to see what the Graveyard and Nightmare versions will look like. New bug frend.
