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.

gay name great look. that's all you have to say people
I love it (: As long as the hydrus one stays looking fierce, I may just have to get another hipottu &#9829;
&#9829;Very nice job.
Awww they're so cute 83
Now here's a change for the better if I've ever seen one. ^^x
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

they are quite cute i definetely prefered them to the old ones
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
Love it~
Revamp the cybill next!
Waaay better than the first ones! Fabulous job!
That is an incredible revamp <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
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.
hmmm.....they do look a lot diffrent from the old ones

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
love the markings
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.
Yaay thanks for changing the wings! <3
<img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> cool ♥
So cute o3o Love the big ears <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" /> tug
Totally not my bag, but it is rather cute. I could see a younger kid liking this alot more than I.
Wow, way to be a dick as usual, stijn <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
I love the fact that you guys revamped the revamp. Looks cute now ^^
Very creative and fitting name, too!
I love it! Way to compromise with the suggestions <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> Really digging the hippo ears!

Love the wings, much better!
amazing, : D
Ooh, it's perfect now! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
I love it! ^^ the markings look cool, but the wings could be a bit bigger.
This pet should just be redone completely. :/

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.
This version is absolutely adorable and a vast improvement on the last one revamp!

I love this. Thanks, Subeta artist, for using all the suggestions people made to the original revamp. This is why I love this site.

you guys did a wonderful job revamping the hippo!
the posture's really great too, it looks pretty streamlined for a creature like that! & lovely markings <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Looks awesome! I must say though, I prefer the old name.
Love this! Compared to the "old" revamp, this one is better due to the fact that THE WINGS ARE BIGGER!!! ^^
these are cute. does that mean that the chibi ones are going to get updated? they need new art pretty badly.
D= Ew, I don't actually like them.
The old ones were cuter. =/

Please revamp the pose changed Hipottus, please. ):
Oh my gosh this is so so so much better than the first suggestion! The only thing I don't like now is the green dots on the common, they don't look good at all with that orange, but I don't have to own a common do I? :3

Kudos artists, this one is so much better!
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. ._.
Love em <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
REMINDS ME OFF DOODOO.

8D

I lurve it.
How adorable! I love the markings. =D
I don't really care for the name, but the art is MUCH MUCH better. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Yay, the big wings make me happy :3
Wonderful job artists! The Hipottu is very cool looking <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

wants one now
Oooooh, I love their new look <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

I'll probably end up getting one when some new colors come out for it.
