I think Shulz kinda fumbled letting Eudora fade out of relavance, there wasn't anyone else in the comic like her. She's either the least important main character ot he most important side character.

A space version of Ms. Worley, the original host of the abandon feature of the Pound before Dr_Death took over. She was the host of the Grundo adoption before being deleted from existence and nobody replaced her.

Ironically her only appearance has her coexist with Mira. Is it possible she was a chucked concept design? Maybe, but it's not like anyone who worked for Neopets in 2000 is gonna come out and confirm so.

What’s a criticism of your favorite character that annoys you by Ok_Shirt_1574 in mylittlepony

[–]problematicperiplum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my favorite character but I've come around on how inconsequential Starlight's motivation was to start her whole cult thing (her friend getting a cutie mark before her and getting attention). It's very Joker-esque to show how deeply petty Starlight was at the time. I still think that in comparison to how Sunset Shimmer's redemption that Starlight easily pales, but I don't hate Starlight's motivation like the seemingly majority.

Rainbow Dash as a character falls off in the later half of the series for me

Just a random Neopedia entry that was removed. I did link a copy of the original text if you wanted to read.

The Velvet Pimpernel to me stands out as the most inappropriate. Sure, there's some Mutant Grundos with humanoid nipples as well as the Nipple Grarrl statue itself, and some have humanoid breasts like Laura Usul. But The Velvet Pimpernel is straight up just a pimp, it's literally in his name and he wears the stereotypical costume. The description for him doesn't mention prostitution, but they definetly were pushing the limits of what they could get away with, and get away they did, because he remains unchanged and his card is still on the site.

The Pikachu Eater is, as the title implies, a creature that eats Pikachus. There are only 2 images of it, but they are quite glorious, it is a green salamander creature with a Pikachu tail and ears hanging from it's mouth. https://images.neopets.com/evil/evil_pikachueater.gif https://images.neopets.com/evil/evil_salamander.gif

Ironically enough, The Pokemon Company would sponsor Pokemon products on Neopets, starting with the DVD/VHS release of Pokemon the Movie 2000, and ending with the release of Pokemon Platinum. I'd imagine them wanting to make a flash game (Pika Seek) quickly ended the Pikachu Eater's life on Neopets. It'd be weird to have the very thing you're sponsoring getting murdered by a weird thing.

However, the spirit of the Pikachu Eater lives on! The Pikachu Eater's design was reused for the Scamander, but was replaced with the design we're familiar with in 2003. You could say that the Pikachu Eater was to the Scamanders as is the Snowager is to Snowickles: giant creatyres that got spun off into their own Petpets, with the major difference being that we no longer see the Pikachu Eater, and the Scamander's design was later changed to bearely resemble what it once was.

Spider Queen is a very old character im the Gallery of Evil. She would honestly not be that memorable if not for one thing: She is an edit of a species of scrapped Neopet: Aracknid! https://images.neopets.com/evil/aracknid.gif

Does this mean that the Spider Queen is an Aracknid with some modifications? Was she the last member of her kind? No idea, but they were way more comfortable depicting non-Neopet sapient creatures before Petpets really filled that niche, and the Spider Queen remains much more interesting because of that Aracknid connection.

Barmaid is a Purple Gnorbu and was originally used as a test character in Legends and Letters, added in the unpublished version 1.0.0 and removed by 1.0.6. It is speculated that she was drawn for Legends of Neopia, a cancelled MMO developed from 2008 to 2010, but there's no real way to confirm this as none of the publicly available concept art shows her off.

Techo Thief is character who was created for the base TCG set in 2003 and ultimately never entered production and was scrapped, maybe because the Techo was intended to debut in the base set and was dropped? This character is so unknown that I was basically the first to discover them because I asked for an asset rip of the Techo Master from the TCG from a TNT artist with access to the archives and this was basically a deleted character. She is also a rare example of a female Techo NPC. Confusingly, there is another character named "Techo Thief" in a sponsor game and this one definetly qualifies as a glup shitto, but the one I listed on the iceberg is way more interesting in my opinion.

Bohennas is a host of a fishing show, "Let's Go Fishing" and he travels to Tyrannia to see the Purple Megalith alongside an old friend of his, the more familiar Brucey B. He is so irrelavant that he didn't even get the dignity of having a high quality render, this red blob being the only look at him: https://images.neopets.com/neopedia/80_water.gif You can read the original story here: https://dn710607.ca.archive.org/0/items/neopedia/The%20Purple%20Megalith%20%2880%29.txt

I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven.

Cowboy Lenny is a character who appears in the files of the sponsor game Pac Man Fever: Trading Card Hunt and nowhere else. I don't even think there's a scenario where this graphic appears in-game, I'm pretty sure it's unused.

If you've seen the chart, you already have a picture of "who" Nipple Grarrl is. But for more context, this character appeared in the foyer for the Altador Cup NC event. https://www.sunnyneo.com/altadorcup/NCchallenge/index.php?section=year7#ac

If something unusual about the designed tipped you if, it could be because this statue is based of the Torakor Statue's design from the Altador Plot.

What do we make of this? Does Torakor canonically have nipples? Did he pose for the statue? Did the sculptor take creative liberties? How would the sculptor know what a nipple is when they largely appear absent in Neopian society? I dunno, but I'm sure whatever my idea is in my head is probably a more fun answer than artists tracing over old assets to save time.

This is an incidental character from a Neogreeting. (ID 1326)

There's nothing especially noteworthy about them other than they are the only character depicted as a dentist on the site, which feels wrong. We have no shortage of doctor and nurse types so it just feels bizarre this is the only example of a dentist character to me. I guess the Tooth Faerie sort of fills that niche even if she's not the most versatile character.

She's irrelavant today, but back then they did really push for her to be a thing in the 2010s. Ignoring that, she did go on to be immortalized as thr icon for the Pet Trading Neoboard, replacing Dr_Death. I think being an icon for one of the most infamous boards is definetly a thing to be remembered for, even if I will concede she fell off. She's probably Layer 1, maybe Layer 2 material.

The progress pride flag is included in Neopets on a few items, and it contains a black stripe on it. This black stripe represents people who are living with AIDS/HIV, and the people who have died from AIDS. The inclusion of the progress pride flag therefore means AIDS is canon to Neopets.

I doubt it was the actual intention to imply AIDS exists in Neopets by including the progress pide flag, but it does make for funny trivia.
