Ooooo rosse's replacement ❤️ Awesome artwork 😊

Not gonna lie I'm a bit disappointed it's not some special/celebration creature, like there is for EC's birthday. I was hoping the 1000th creature would be super special and elaborate! It is nice to have a new cave common to collect though, and I like the artwork.

snowywinter • 27 Dec 2022, 12:09 AM

Aww, it's so cute! / Though I too was expecting something major marking the milestone.

nut • 27 Dec 2022, 12:23 AM

omg I actually love it, so cute & cool colors

kleineprinz • 27 Dec 2022, 12:48 AM

Hi, Thank you. I will go get her

pet_cemetery • 27 Dec 2022, 12:53 AM

The archive for this creature doesn't seem to exist. The link just brings you to the archive main page

@pet_cemetery I don't think it's even in the cave yet. Shame I used my free attempts for the day already ;P

Another Axolotl-esque creature! Very excited to collect this one!

heatherm19 • 27 Dec 2022, 2:35 AM

@pet_cemetery It might be similar to the Items Database where it doesn't show until the first one is gotten by someone. Based on the 'no creature here' page, no one has one yet.

heatherm19 • 27 Dec 2022, 2:36 AM

@mightyeglantine Oohh I was thinking lizard, but yeah especially the 3rd-stage looks pretty 'Axolotl-esque'.

mightyeglantine • 27 Dec 2022, 2:42 AM

@heatherm19 The last stage definitely looks very lizard like, though it could still be Axolotl-esque because despite their neotenic features, Axolotls can be forced to metamorphize through hormonal changes or stress! They look like any other salamander when they fully morph too!

murfijs • 27 Dec 2022, 3:00 AM

woah! another axolotl, i love these little guys so much ❤️ colors kinda remind me of the rapu

pet_cemetery • 27 Dec 2022, 3:11 AM

@mightyeglantine Don't most salamanders have an axolotl-like infant stage where they can't leave water, similar to frog having a tadpole stage? If I remember right, axolotl are just weird because they never grow up and lead that stage.

pet_cemetery • 27 Dec 2022, 3:22 AM

It might be a spotted salamander, since they have dark colored body with bright yellow spots. From the pictures it looks like it's nymph stage starts out with no legs and gills. It grows legs and loses the gills

ida92 • 27 Dec 2022, 3:55 AM

@pet_cemetery @mightyeglantine @heatherm19 It actually reminds me of an alpine newt! Just mines the external gills on the last stage. Adult newts don't have external gills anymore.

mrsgiggles • 27 Dec 2022, 4:29 AM

Oooh this one is cute and it is appropriately enough a cave creature. Nice.

sparklefox • 27 Dec 2022, 5:59 AM

I expected some kind of celebratory creature, but this is nice too - a very nice Salaslyke replacement. Though I don't think it's actually been added to the cave or archives yet...

dragiigy • 27 Dec 2022, 6:57 AM

1000 !!! 125 to go 😃

twinkle • 27 Dec 2022, 7:10 AM

Has anyone got one yet? :’)

xxcouchxx • 27 Dec 2022, 8:09 AM

Hmm.. ok. It's cute at least

brookie • 27 Dec 2022, 8:14 AM

Artwork is so cute

shrimp • 27 Dec 2022, 8:15 AM

No luck yet snagging it! I love the colors for it though! ❤️

wonder404exe • 27 Dec 2022, 8:20 AM

Didnt get it ;_; wahhhh

wonder404exe • 27 Dec 2022, 8:21 AM

Wait have common… YUSSS ITS SO PRETTY IN REPLACEMENT OF ROSSE

asbe • 27 Dec 2022, 9:28 AM

Tadpole! I'm going to the Cave right now ^^

frankenstein • 27 Dec 2022, 9:48 AM

Nice! I was wondering when we'd hit 1k c:

prairie • 27 Dec 2022, 10:31 AM

@ian I don't think this creature is available just yet. It's not in the archives.

Ian • 27 Dec 2022, 11:41 AM

@pet_cemetery Archives entry now active!

Ian • 27 Dec 2022, 11:41 AM

@prairie it’s now available in the Cave! Sorry about that! 😸

Ian • 27 Dec 2022, 11:48 AM

@wonder404exe in replacement of the Salaslyke actually! The Rosse will have another replacement actually

daisycat • 27 Dec 2022, 11:55 AM

Whoa, 1 click, 2 clicks, 3 clicks for the evolution?! 😱

wonder404exe • 27 Dec 2022, 11:56 AM

@ian OHH YEAHH that lil guy dont have a replacement yet! Totally forgot it was in june when they went endangered

daisycat • 27 Dec 2022, 11:57 AM

The first Picerak has already fully evolved. XD Are those really how fast the evolution points are? o.o

wonder404exe • 27 Dec 2022, 12:08 PM

@ian i dont think the baby even have the chance to feel the sand before it evolves xD

jlya • 27 Dec 2022, 12:56 PM

Liking the axolotl art! And the 1-2-3 clicks evolution is interesting. I too am a little disappointed this isn't a huge celebration creature with "1000" written on its side or tail or something, but I like it.

okami • 27 Dec 2022, 1:07 PM

I'm a bit disappointed that cave attempts weren't reset after it was realized that the creature hadn't been released in the cave. I'm sure a lot of us rushed to the cave trying to get a release day one as soon as we saw the blog post, when it wasn't even possible to get it ☹️

daisycat • 27 Dec 2022, 1:09 PM

@bluewolf Agreed. I did the same exact thing.

pet_cemetery • 27 Dec 2022, 1:14 PM

@ian Was the 1-2-3 clicks evolution intentional? Besides the Jester, an April Fool's creature from years back, I don't think I've ever seen a creature evolve so fast.

idol • 27 Dec 2022, 2:38 PM

Oh cool. I kinda agree with others. For such a large milestone something a little more special.. or even done in a special way might have been nice. But this is cool I guess. Happy 1000.

dragrawr • 27 Dec 2022, 3:10 PM

I must admit I was expecting something more event-like but it’s cool

pegasasu • 27 Dec 2022, 3:12 PM

Aww also kind of sad there's no event but the creature's cute!

heatherm19 • 27 Dec 2022, 5:27 PM

@Ian That evolution is awfully fast, is 1-2-3 clicks intentional? Doesn't leave much time for freezing early stages!

snowywinter • 27 Dec 2022, 9:20 PM

Yikes, another Vampig situation

stefrawr • 27 Dec 2022, 9:28 PM

Cute ❤️

ida92 • 28 Dec 2022, 3:11 AM

The 1-2-3 evolution is a bit frustrating in my opininion. I love the creature's design, but I also don't like my creatures evolving too fast. And this seems like way too fast for me personally.

dragrawr • 28 Dec 2022, 5:08 PM

@twinkle I have a fully evolved one lol

daisycat • 28 Dec 2022, 5:34 PM

I feel like everyone has a fully evolved one now. I'm surprised no mods have addressed whether or not the evolution points are correct or incorrect, or commented any thoughts on it at all.

pet_cemetery • 28 Dec 2022, 6:12 PM

*grumbles* I can't seem to find a Picerak. Found monthlies but still can't find a single one of the new common. My luck is terrible.

daisycat • 28 Dec 2022, 6:19 PM

@pet_cemetery Awww same here. ;_; I'm using every cave attempt and still nothing lol, but thankfully they won't be unavailable anytime soon. 😊

wonder404exe • 28 Dec 2022, 6:48 PM

@pet_cemetery @daisycat the only few i got was from my friend who got three release days (THREE??!1/!?!) 80+ trys, nothing
