A new discovery!

Hello Vesnali celebrators - are you having a nice time? I’ve had a lovely year. Well, a lovely few years actually! But today I wanted to talk to you about one of my recent expeditions. You know how I love to keep an eye on the local nature! I’ve been noticing the Nature Walk over in Riverside has been a little quiet for a while, probably because the novelty has worn off a bit. People make a visit or two and then find other ways to fill their time. Which is great for some of the creatures there! They don’t like it being too busy or full of people.

The thing is, I think something has moved in there. A new something. At first, I thought it was a minion, but after spending some time documenting it I started to believe it had more properties of a Subeta pet! It’s taken me a while, but one of the little creatures ended up bonding with me, and when I offered it a chance to come home with me it scooted right up my arm to nuzzle at my cheek! A very strange sensation, I’ll tell you that much, and it put my dear Esther right off snuggling that night (she’s not the hugest fan of the uh…’slippery slimy’ type things)!

Anyway, I now have this creature, which I’ve been referring to as the 'scootle' because of how fast it moves, and I’m not sure if I’m some kind of anomaly! I think the best thing to do is invite those of you who might be interested in adopting one of the things over to the Nature Walk - see if you can spot one for yourself! It might take a few days to bond with them, as it did with me, but if they do I think I may have discovered a brand new pet! In the meantime, I’m going to work to see how my scootle responds to potions…I’ll have my results on…Friday, I believe!

Also I vote for Steve.
Steve is a great name for a non-scary thing like a hedge or a team name or anything! Steve. *nods*

But Scootie is really really cute too almost like Scottie!

Tiobe 05/15/18 5:18 pm

so if we've already used all our pet slots, will the active pet turn into one? or will it stay minion-sized? or will it always just scoot away from us?
and czar and Amber, that should totally be the field version! gorgeous!!!

Ambition 05/15/18 5:18 pm

Outside of the bunny ears it is very cute -- almost like a pet zapper species.
Also the map version is adorable and tiny-cute!

Now if only we could get rift as a recognized official color and then a jellyfish pet...

Aludra 05/15/18 5:13 pm

A snail mixed with a sea bunny slug, honestly I love it oAo I don't have a use for it, but its pretty to look at.

feminist 05/15/18 5:11 pm

I hate snails irl but damn if that isn't adorable

Fyreheart 05/15/18 5:06 pm

"At first, I thought it was a minion, but after spending some time documenting it I started to believe it had more properties of a Subeta pet!"

So....how does Subetan classification work? Isn't a pet any tame animal a person domesticates and takes care of? They're saying it like "pet" is a specie.

That being said, YAAAY SNAAAIIILLL!!!

Tinkerbabe 05/15/18 5:05 pm

It is so very cute. I went through the nature walk and unlocked some “secret” battle characters but there was nothing that popped up that looked like that awesome pet snail to bond with. Is there supposed to be?

Tiobe 05/15/18 5:04 pm

- and here I told myself that having 20 pets was plenty, maybe over the top even. :P

DarkVixen28 05/15/18 5:03 pm

Gotta think of a naaaaaaaaaame cause Imma get one of these adorable lovebugs.

Saix 05/15/18 5:01 pm

I love it!! I love snails! I saw one but i scared it away. I've never been on the nature walk before. Maybe next time :3

Stiles 05/15/18 4:59 pm

Silverfish 05/15/18 4:58 pm

Oh, it's like a weird mix of a sea sug, land snail and a decorator crab.
Really cute though :D

Jazzyw5 05/15/18 4:57 pm

So what happens when it says you scared it away!

WinterMoon 05/15/18 4:56 pm

I know exactly how Esther feels, because I suffer from severe molluscophobia! But I have to admit the Scootle is awfully cute, just... not really for me.

petite 05/15/18 4:49 pm

That is the cutest snail I have ever seen! ♥️ ♥️

Duane 05/15/18 4:39 pm

Muerte 05/15/18 4:36 pm

I love this, but I also want to learn more about how pets vs. minions would be determined.
The tiny pet illumis with their minion, the massive dinosaur whose tooth is larger than it.

Elwyn 05/15/18 4:36 pm

Yes!! A snail is a pet I've wanted for a long time, must have one!

Quentin 05/15/18 4:21 pm

You say Esther didn't want to snuggle with you after your encounter with that creature? I would have been happy to fill in for you, Emma~ Ah, what I'd give to cuddle in between you lovely ladies~

That aside, this new lil guy is cute! I will be on the lookout for one!

crashingnightingales 05/15/18 4:20 pm

Alright, you’ve got me! Now how to befriend one of these little guys! Kinda reminds me of being a kind and finding snails to keep as pets (outside of course)! :snail:
