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.

I disagree. The leg size seems alright to me as far as proportions go and its not necessarily that the neck is nonexistent. The Hipottu has its head turned in an angle so that if you were looking at it head on (no pun intended xD), the neck would be hidden behind its head. I also love the new ancient mystical look that its been given with its new markings. The name to, adds a dollop of cuteness to its new look. I like it a lot better than the old name which in my opinion was way to long, I couldn't even pronounce it! <3

I'm still going crazy because the legs are disproportionately long and the neck is nonexistent, but overall I would agree that it's at least an artistic improvement, over the originally polled revamp and the previous Hipposaru.

I love it (: As long as the hydrus one stays looking fierce, I may just have to get another hipottu ♥

I'm glad it turned out really well thanks to the player's comments ~
Great adjustment to the hind legs. It did look a little strange at first.
I'm looking forward to the other color revamps for this pet :3

I don't like the wings. At all. Do they have colored lineart inside?
Otherwise, it's fine! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

I liked the larger wings better, but this is definitely better than the old ones. They look like something I might actually consider getting at one point if I figured out a good character for it. x3

Thanks for clearing that up, AcaciaKumori. :3
I love the revamp, but I still prefer the old name. I don't see the problem with it being vaguely close to the word hippopotamus. Pokemon doesn't seem to have the same problem. x3

When I first saw these, I thought they had amazing potential to be adorable. And now they're just that! I actually want to own one now, and I can't wait to see what the artist does with all the other non-common poses. The markings are beautiful, and his sweet little face is just perfect! I think this has toe one of my favorite revamps.

I loved the old name..the new one is just...so unfitting it seems to me. The art and everything of the revamp is lovely of course but there's just something not right...I believe its the colors and markings..just seems so unappealing..I believe its the spots down the legs..don't know. Either way good revamp. Looks much better

aw, my first pet on subeta like 5 years ago was a hipposaru... and i think the old one was a lot cuter. this one looks a little awkward to be honest...
oh, well. i do like the markings, though.

Not as cute, although ive NEVER been a fan of them. This revamp is just another reason for them to be on the bottom of my list, looks terrible compared to the older one. Im not saying that the art is bad, LOVELY art, Just bad color/pose/detail choices for this pet =/ Just doesn't seem like a pet that would have very nice color revamps. But this is all just my opinion, dont flame me for saying it becuase I know that a majority of the people on subeta agree.

The revamp is great. ^^
But I really don't get the namechange. o_o (don't get me wrong, I'm not against name changes) It sounds like the old one and the double 't' look odd to me. There have been so many beautiful name suggestions so I'm kinda irritated why a name that's very close to the old name but doesn't sound much different to me was chosen. ._.

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.

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.

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 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

the new look is wonderful, and very appealing,
however, the name change is disappointing, hipottu just seems... similar to hipposaru. i understand that kiboko was not ideal, but i still think that by naming it hipottu, it is effectively making it still seem related to the hippo's of the real world.
it seems like a pointless change (e.g, the name ontra for otter, and chelon for turdle were effective name changes)
perhaps the name will grow on me. despite this, i still find them OMG PRETTY! great art <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

can someone explain to me the "foreign creatures from other planets" thing? I thought and thought, and cannot come up with a similar sounding name. (Maybe my mind's too distracted with being cold to think)
Also, I'm happy with the new version of the revamp. The old revamp had weird ears, too-small of wings and a really weird darker back..
The larger wings, thinner ears and a back that matches the rest of its body looks much nicer.

The art is beautiful, and this revamp is certainly a step up from the "test" revamp, but I'm just not a fan. It lacks the spirit of the older versions, and it looks more like a dinosaur than any sort of hippo.

I for one love the name change and think it fits better. I also really appreciate the artist for the lovely tail pose and bigger back wings! Thank you so much for listening to subeta, staff. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />

I sort of wish I hadn't changed my Hipposaru into a Kerubi now...Even if Kerubis are really cute...
Another pet to add to my list of do wants...

I love the updates, the wings really strike me now where as before they seemed a bit too small. I did like the old name (as did others), but that's just a personal opinion. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Hipposaru gets its name from Hippo and Dinosaur and Hipottu just gets it from just Hippo.
Also what was the point of the Hipposaru rename thread if you don't go with a name alot of people wanted for it? </blockquote>
Way to make assumptions! Actually, the name gets its inspiration from not only a hippopotamus but also from the word for "bindi" in two Indian language dialects. Being that the hipottu's markings seem to resemble bindis, we found this appropriate.
Also, do not mistake a thread asking for name suggestions for an official poll. We weren't polling people looking for the most popular name. We were looking for suggestions, which we got and considered. If you had been reading that whole thread, you would have seen that the suggested name "kiboko" although cute was merely another name for a hippopotamus and had too much similarity to "popoko" besides. It was rejected for these reasons.

The Antlephore has been revamped actually pretty recently.. and they just got some revamps on colors. I doubt they'll be changed anytime soon.
And to stay on topic, I quite like the markings. Makes me think of jewels on a prince or princess. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />

how is this creative? not sure if you're talking about the name or the pet itself, but i fail to see either.

I honestly don't like it too much : I liked the bigger wings that the Hipposaru had, and does this mean the Antlephore needs to be changed too? It looks like a deer to me.

Awesome revamp.
The name STINKS though, sorry. Kiboko was a much more imaginative name. Even so, I'll probably wind up getting one. AND IF YOU RUIN MY AKARIS, I'LL KILL YOU.
Just kidding, but I hope they don't change the Hydrus one too much when it's revamped. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

The new revamp is way better. The name doesn't sound quite as creative, but I guess it's the art that matters, hmm? xD
And stijn, if you really hate it that much, then don't create a single freaking one. Simple as that.

Gee and I kinda' figured that name change was so it wouldn't be so associated with a particular <strong>user</strong> since you can't have that now can you? <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />

stijn: The post explained why. Hipottu is far more creative than Hipposaru anyway. Now please quit with the rude comments.

Hmm I think the name "hipottu" sounds much more like hippopotamus than the other name does.

better than the old revamp? shit, like a few minor details and bigger wings matter so much.

aside from my hate i like the ears, wings and butt though.
im curious tho, why the namechange? i was told it was getting a namechange to get away from 'existing' animals. (kinda like we did with the dragon and otter), but its still saying hippo.

Definitely an improvement from the 'old' new :3 See, everyone, that wasn't so bad? XD
It's good to know we have such wonderful artists willing to make changes based on suggestions made from users. I can totally see some of them, and it does make the pet so much nicer <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
Not a pet for me, but it's always nice to see awesome art and pet revamps :3

Lovely job. Nice use of the feedback. It's so much better with the smaller teeth, bigger and more detailed wings and removal of the weird color patch on it's back. I'm also glad you kept the "jewelry" since it's both lovely and adds a lot of personality. I didn't think it was possible but I actually think I want one now.
