Line #14 Headscratchers/Neopets


1	* What [[http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php/Edna happened]] to all the human pet 'owners' in Neopia once most Neopets in 'Plot events' gained an AnthropomorphicShift? Did they just disappear, because according to the [[WordOfGod TNT staff]] since 2003, ''There are no humans in Neopia''.
2	** So...the [[TheFaceless Tiki Tack Man]]'s not a human?
3	** Last I checked, weren't the human pet owners turned into Neopets and then the pets became petpets?
4	* When you first make an account, you're pretty much forced to create a pet. You're unable to access any other page on the site until you create a pet, even your ''account control panel''. My question is what's the point in this? It's nothing but aggravating and it's more likely to result in a neglected pet (which the staff have stated they're strongly against).
5	** It's required because users need a pet to access and play on many parts of the site in the first place. It is a site about virtual pets, after all. And you only really need one pet to enjoy the site.
6	** Although it is clearly pretty pointless to play a virtual pet site without pets, I do think users would be more likely to end up with a pet they're happy with if they can have a look around first. A lot of people might want to adopt from the pound rather than create their own pet, or pick a pet based on pets other people have or that they see around the site.
7	* Why do "pet" Aishas have hoof-like paws (no digits) while [[BeastMan "human"]] Aishas (Hoban, Lisha, etc.) have fully articulate fingers?
8	** Plot characters are always more "anthro" than the original pets they were based off of. Ixi pets have hoofs, yet plot Ixis like Nabile, Sophie, and Hanso have hands with digits.
9	* Not sure if this is canon or Fanon, but how come nearly every story I have read on that sight involving the one of faeries losing their wings and turning grey has Queen Fyora ''banish'' them from Faerieland?! No, most cases there was no crime, danger, or anything these ladies had done to deserve banishment, ''they're disabled and not that pretty anymore.'' Wow. [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Fyora]] [[KickTheDog punishes her people for having a handicap by throwing them out on the street to fend for themselves]]. Well, guess [[TheFairFolk faeries aren't as nice as they look, huh?]]
10	** As a devout Neopian, I can verify that this is indeed fanon.
11	*** And then the Grey Faeries have to wander alone through Neopia in their fallen state until they get a new name, like the story in the Neopedia about [[http://www.neopets.com/neopedia.phtml?neopedia_id=179 The Grey Faerie]] a Kyrii mountaineer who encountered an imprisoned Grey Faerie.
12	* How can Kanrik's simple "I'm sorry, Hannah" redeem him from leaving her for dead in the Lost Desert? It seems to be a really cheap way to get forgiven for such an act.
13	** Hannah at the time she was weakened by the curse of Ta-Kutep and couldn't fight back anymore, which gave Kanrik a bit of a chance to explain. It is odd that he didn't know about the curse, since he let Hannah go first so he wouldn't be in danger. I suppose he could possibly have just gone with it at the time, realizing he dodged getting cursed thanks to Hannah. It's possible Hannah and Armin wouldn't have stuck with Kanrik so long had he not known about the Bringer. Hannah and Armin probably would have made him leave if the Bringer hadn't been a threat. Thanks to that though Kanrik had a chance to show Hannah he wanted to change and that he had been wrong to trust Masila and Galem and wrong to almost get Hannah killed. Also, after the battle he helped get Hannah to Taelia so the curse could be lifted. Maybe Hannah let bygones be bygones after all they'd gone through. And then Hannah and Kanrik [[http://www.neopets.com/water/plot_com.phtml?chapter=2 got married]].
14	* What's a game about fighting sky pirates in biplanes doing in a medieval setting?
15	** RuleOfCool, that's what!
16	* How do Baby pets come to be, exactly? I mean, are they born? Do they stay babies forever for the sake of the color? Do Neopets of other colors start with that default look (ex: all Baby Lupes have pale blue fur) and grow into their adult colors, or are they born with those colors and keep them through life?
17	** Maybe it's a case of stagnated growth like is sometimes seen IRL? Like maybe all Neopets are born the same way, start out as the Baby form, and then some of them for whatever reason just never grow any bigger. As for their color, lots of real-life animal babies are born looking a certain way and then change as they grow older, so maybe it's the same as that? Like some fawns have spots but they lose them as they grow older, so maybe pets like the Lupe all start out the same color and then change fur color as they grow older.
18	* Checking [[https://www.neomerch.com/tcgitem/?type=1&id=21 Darigan's first card]] and [[https://www.neomerch.com/tcgitem/?type=1&id=48 Darigan's Blight]], it appears that he wasn't planned to be the good guy in the whole Meridell war because he's got the black border of a villain on his first card and it says "If there is a source of all evil in Neopia, it isn't far from Darigan's heart" and the Blight card is self-explanatory. There's also no mention of the orb that King Skarl stole despite the [[https://www.neomerch.com/tcgitem/?type=2&id=4 Darigan, Redeemed]] card. I think plans involving Darigan must have changed somewhere along the way.
19	* Why would you sell slushies and ice cream on Terror Mountain? Surely there wouldn't be much of a demand in such a freezing climate?
