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.

Yes, much better without the dark spot on it's back and the chibi wings! These are fantastic! Nice job, artist!
I like the old name. However, it does look fancy. Doesn't really affect Enzu much though... xD
Awesome. Looks so much better. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
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.

These are so cuteeeee ;___; I'm diggin' the new markings.
glad the hippottu got a revamp, it definitely needed one.

Though this was never a pet I was interested in nor would have as a pet... I am wondering why after all the varying forms of input on how it could be better it was not put up for revote like many pets in the past?
Thank you SOOOOO MUCH subeta artists for listening to our suggestions! It makes this site an incredible place to be!

Love the changes made, thanks for listening you guys <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
I realize that all I did was reiterate what Luxe said, but for some reason no one seems to be listening to her.
This is a nice revamp! Um, nothing more to say. Carry on.
But yeah good job artist, pat yourself on the back C8

Okay. Making things clear.

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.

Awesome, I was hoping Hipottu would get picked. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" /> Lovely revamp too - I'm considering getting one now.
The new colors look really nice! I love the slightly green wings and tail.
And the new name is really cute!

Yep, the new revamp looks much better.
This one still caries a funny name <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

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.

Lovely- as always... GREAT job NK (no matter what others may say: you are a splendid, wonderful, marvelous, glorious, magnificent, superb, amazing, fantastic, brilliant and very inspiring and talented artist and I am very proud of you; lol)
Not much for the name, but I really like this revamp. The wings and face look so much better! ^-^
I think it's cute. The wings look a little bit of an afterthought, but overall I really like it. But I don't like the new name as much. Hipposauru was better imo. But lepersauru was the best lol

Looks very pretty now!
And, I have to say it...
Thank goodness the name was not changed to 'kiboko'! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />

The ars and wings look so much nicer! This is a lovely revamp.
Personally I like the name it's short and cute. c:

Thanks for taking our opinions into consideration! The little changes look great on the Hipottu <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Oh my god, I must have one! 8D
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

This must be one of the best pet revamps ever =) Although the name is rather odd. I read 'Hipottu' as 'Hi, potty!'
...
Er, maybe I just have difficulty reading things.

pff, i am disappointed. i liked the small wings better.... i hate it how some people can ruin a great revamp with lame suggestions. those small wings were adorable. oh well, whatever. i don't have a hipottu (at the moment), so it doesn't matter. and if i get one, i'll use the first revamp with the small wings as an overlay saves picture

Oh, yay! I'm set with pets, but I still am loving this revamp! The henna-like markings (actually, they remind me of a succession of bindis more than anything) are a really lovely touch.
Wonderful name and revamp! <3
"Foreign Creaturs from other planets", eh? Methinks thou art speaking of Neopia. :O The pets are prettier here, imo ;D

Much, much better looking I think! Way to go artists, I love the name too! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
As great as the art is, I think I will change my hipposaru into another species. This is the first revamp of any kind that I actually dislike.

These wings are definitely better. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
Great job! The tweaking really helped pull the look together.
However I can't say I'm a fan of the name. :/

I'm really not fond of the name change. Hippotu just doesn't sound as nice as Hipposaru. Doesn't flow as well. /: Ah well.
The art, however, is adorable, but I don't think I'd get one. The buck teeth throw it for me haha.

I can't stand the markings. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
I don't really know what to say on the name. Whatever, I'll get used to it.
It is nice to see it get a revamp, though. I do like those markings. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
Reminds me of Indian stuff.

Hmm. While I like the new revamp better than the old one, I still think I prefer "hipposaru" over the new name. I can see why they decided to change the name, and it's not bad; I just prefer the old one. :3 Overall, I do like it better, though. xD
Still not fond of those markings, but the minor changes sure made a big difference. It looks much, much better. The name change doesn't make much sense to me, because it still reminds me of 'hippo' but at least it's better than 'hipposaru.'
