Ziratendus (in association with Enpiah Enterprises) presents: The Super-Duper Pets in... A Retrowave Space Age Oddity!
Previously on MaraPets, the Galaxy, Space, Neon, Starry, Enpiah, Space Fairy, Monster, Alien, Arcade, and Pixel Costumes respectively came from Ublish's Lair (after replacing the unloved Trailer Costume in November 2017 and switching places with the Dalmatian Costume in September 2019, also formerly the Furry Costume), the Costume Boutique (as a Premium Costume), the Games Shop as of 30th September 2013, October 2005/January 2017, March 2008/November 2019, January 2009/July 2015, March 2014, May 2014 (ever since the 2014 invasion of Marada, the original Aliens have retired to their home planets), April 2016, and September 2018 Account Upgrade Sets. Galaxian pets are dark purple with celestial patterns, including nebulas and stars. The Space Costume molds pets into astronauts; certain pets have unique space suits, like the Equilor, Hump, Kronk, and Ushunda. At the time that these next radical pets were first sighted, the Newths had not learned much beyond some word about some "corruptions" or "a new arcade", but at least these fluorescent pets are here to stay - and they're bringing their flashy glows with them! Neon pets are best suited for nostalgic Maradans and glam rock partygoers alike, with their various borg-like parts and light-up pelts! But for those that prefer the brightness turned up, don't fret; many of these new pets have been released in late 2022! Now, next up, Starry pets have pelts that mimic the night sky with big stars and gold accents. Enpiah pets have their eponymous planet's coloration of red with yellow eyes and tentacles. Tentacles everywhere. How did they get this way, you may ask? Well, because of the Maradan Heatwave, Enpiah citizens have mutated into the horrific pests we know and (possibly) love today. Space Fairy pets have galactic patterns similar to Galaxy or Moonlight pets, circuit wings, and yellow-orange pupils. Monster pets have have beady blue eyes with blue slime, a colour scheme that likely draws from the Monster energy drink, extra body parts, incisors, Lovecraftian tentacles, as well as yōkai-like features such as having mouths where they shouldn't, spiked-up hair, etc. Classic Alien pets have antennae, one or multiple eyes, reptilian or aquatic features, wacky patterns, space suits, and laser blasters. Putting the Arcade Costume on certain marapets will turn them into literal gamers, with them waving through more pixel blocks and wearing gaming accessories (headset, headphones, cords, etc). Speaking of games, Pixel pets are styled akin to NES, Game Boy and classic arcade characters. (There are also independent games such as those from Yacht Club Games (i.e., Shovel Knight and Mina the Hollower that recreate the pixelated aesthetic.)
I thought Arinya had boxing gloves, but when I looked closely, it was a gun.
Also, Tantua looks like Medusa.
So cool! I wish I could train my pet, but it's a Basil :3 Basils rarely get cossie love. *pets her rat*
Kaala is def sailor moon inspired, but the best of em is that lorius *Pleased*
I love the Enpiah pets. Their designs are fabulous, very creative and such fun. Keep 'em coming. I sure don't care if they are unrecognizable, they are too cute. I love our updates and the Post Message... adorable!!
The new enpiah pets look lovely; fingers crossed that more new ones are non-limited/restricted pets.
Those are freaky, scary pets... and I love them all.
A bunch of balloon animals *Adore*
I love the concept here, but ngl, I had to inspect the elements on the [News] page to find out what some of the revamped [Enpiah] species actually were XD no idea which was which
Love the Lovecraftian vibe in this one.
Nice to also see the return of Daisies.
And now, the intergalactic lightning round![]
The phanty is cute! It looks like his face is melting.
Lovin the new pet art. That Sindi is fab.
Dr. Zoidberg is that u!!!
Nitro Radicles' Premium Arcade![]
Woahhhhh incredible!!! We need mooooore pets in this costume! (Including lorius, astro and... all of them?)
I can't even tell what the poera is; it just looks like a bunch of pixels. Also, this could totally have been in Game Redemption... or you know, we could get more than five Neon coloured pets.
Wow, the artwork on the account upgrade is amazing. Reminds me of the classic 80s video games back in the day....good times. Definitely will be saving up for this one.
Candy Constellation[]
"It makes much more sense for the Galaxy Costume to be from Ublish's Lair!" LOL. Glad to see this has finally been done. Been saying it made no sense to have them that way since their release.
OMG!! So purple!! I love this!! I have a pet named Nebulas and was hoping a costume like this would be released.
This is beautiful, but I do kind of agree with Gossip! It would be nice to see a bit more colors in them, especially the few that are just purple without the blue swirls (still very pretty...just less so). Still, I love it and I am definitely going to have to get at least a couple though!
Missed my little beer belly boy
AHHH I need a Raulf ASAP, also love the drop shadow on all of them so nice!!
Cute! Love the monster Decadal and I'm obviously biased towards the chibi one *Adore*
Nice Monsters! Mara is being invaded!
Very nice *Smile*
Shame theres no Ercuws still
That Monster Mordo is awesome and the Sybri looks amazing.
Wow...Kronks finally look awesome!! Diggin the Zola too. Almost makes me wanna use my enchanted Zola plushie and slap on my monster costume
Love the feliz, and love the design on the zola, but the pose on it is so static. :/ The other two are good, just not something I'd get. *Smile*
And people like the ugly looking Chibi pets. Monster pets look sooooooo much better.
Good job all!!!
There are 2 Ikes that I like: the Party, and this one. He looks terrific. Actually all the monster ones are exceptional. But this artist adds lots of personality for the Monster pets.
And... everything comes to us who wait!!! *patiently waiting for all the fun* Thank you.
The Neon Lights[]
Awesome, I love this! Was just recently looking at the costume and thought "we need more of them". The Gizmo is pure joy.
Hurrah! I've been wanting to see new Neon pets for so long. So sad that only a handful of pets could wear them before. Now I'd love to see my dreams of a Neon Deca come true. So happy to see more non-AU costumes get some much-needed attention.
WOW!! That fasoro is gorgeous...they're all gorgeous but still *Wide Grin*
That Kujo is super adorable! It sure is nice having Ian back *Adore*Adore*
The Maradan Entertainment System[]
As far as the actual pixel art goes, these could've been a bit more refined. I do love the references and concept, but I just know that you can do more with pixels than this. Not complaining too much though, this is a good effort!
I’m confused by the dislikes since there’s like no real negative comments O.o I think they’re cute!
These pets are cute, though I feel like they should be about the size of minipets.
It's easy to imagine these animated. Like sprites from some 8-Bit video game. XD ~ Meggy
I like pixel art, but for a picture this big, the illustrations should be more detailed.
Agreed; it'd be nice to see them shrunk ~ Wednesday PS: The costume looks so much like Minecraft armour haha
The Pixel Huthiq amuses me
Omg omg omg omg!!! My Sindi Pixel will finally be complete! I love this so much! Adore *cries tears of joy* ~ Sindi
@Sindi - omg yes owo
And dunno why, but the Pixel pets remind me of Tamagotchi and Giga Pets o:
Club Penguin Newth?? *Shifty Eyes* *XD*
@HanSolo Club Penguin has closed and I am the saddest penguin. *Sad*
Love the new art!! The rofling looks miles better and the azul is just adorbs!! <3
I love the new space art! My Musistify is so handsome and loves this new outfit! *Pleased*
Moley is now wearing Space Costume! Cute!! Hit me up for Space Wallop photo swaps!
I love it! But I don't understand the green eye on the ushunda? Is there something I'm missing?
@Draco could be a visor, maybe?
It's nice to see so many new Space pets. I've always thought it was an underrated, well-done costume.
What a fun update! I especially like the non-standard poses; the pets really look like they're in zero gravity!
Marada: 5000[]
Nice. Lot less 'busy' than the old style was.
I don't mean to be rude - I do love this update (not so much the killer costume update) - but as it's the second of the old, retired costumes being briefly released and updated, can we expect many more? I like some of the older costume designs and I'm scared they're going to be updated (e.g. Earth Fairy) D:
Like I said with [the Killer Costume update], instead of coming out with new costumes all the time for the sake of it, we'll go back to old costumes that were never that great to start with and improve them. For instance, the Minipet AU was recent and was done properly; SPACE FAIRY WAS NEVER DONE WELL AND WAS HORRIBLE lol ~ Ian
Ah I just switched one of my Ercuws from Space Fairy to Dragon because I didn't like the old art, but I like the updated versions. Pish.
Aw, the poor Zoosh has to lose his arms to become wings. Everybody else keeps theirs and gains wings.
The colours are a lot easier on the eye. I really hope the Space Fairy Pets keep THAT EXACT color scheme because it's beautiful.
Space Fairy is neat but needs some more pets. I bet Straya would be epic, and as of course the JESSUP will always look good.
I know there are always people who complain, and I hate to be that person, really, but this costume is nothing special. The poses in this are all default, so what makes this different from the generic costume revamps we've been getting? It doesn't look worthy of an Account Upgrade. Compare this with the Fire Costume re-release and the Fire Snookle we got:
I just wish it was more constellation-ish, because I'm so obsessed with stars. It's so plain compared to moonlight (with so much potential to be as creative) and the palette is so grey with no shiny stars, nor any detail to the background or poses. I also really don't like the random use of gold. ~ Wednesday
Looks awesome, but having gold instead of silver highlights makes the Ideus look kind of strange... Other than that, awesome *Adore*
PS. And I know I've mentioned this a million times now, but what has happened to the snookle? It's so chunky *Crying*Crying* Compare it to the newer Pixie, School and Skater Snookles, or the older really cute Leprechaun, Party and Sad ones, and it looks like a different pet. ~ Wednesday
LOVING IT!! *Adore*Adore*Adore*
I wish there was an updated version of the Starry Rofling *Sad*
The Chibs, Grint, Justin, Mordo, Murfin, Rofling, Viotto, Vixen, and Willa stick out like sore thumbs now. Loving the deeper colours, though. Can't wait to see what the above look like once updated to the new style.
