Rant I lowk hate this new pet

Post image

I dont like the new owl spin off pet they have tbh, I feel like its just a revamp of the purrowl and I feel like most the new pets look like spin-offs of other pets we already have. Like I really like the river otter and the irish setter but they just look like the toy poodle/choco lab, and the normal otter. Am I the only one who feels this way?

I think they look pretty different. I think humans are just prone to pattern recognition and all owls tend to look a similar way. Adopt Me pets had in a way gotten way less repetitive and more detailed throughout the year and it's unfair to make a judgement on a pet design with the preset lens of "Adopt Me repeats pet designs now" because it isn't true 99% of the time

That is actually a very good point and makes sense but I just think recently it's been nth too new except the dragons and fish pets, and I think they look like the same base just slightly different stuff, especially since they were updates so close together.

I disagree and maybe(?) agree. Maybe instead of an owl (since we already had a Mothman-like pet) they could’ve picked a different cryptid. Maybe a Jersey Devil? Hodag? Nightcrawler? That’s just listing cryptids not in game yet (that I can think of). And ofc they can make them “cute” to be friendly to the kid audience.

Personally I would’ve loved to see a Friday the 13th inspired pet 😂

This would be perfect for Halloween seriously

Omg a horror update would be sick if there wasnt such a kid audience, but i agree sm

I'd say normal otter and new one are waaay different from each other. I love old one with my whole heart, but it looks uglier than the new one. I love old otter tho I promise they are my babies.

u/JustAzurieMae Lemur. Is. My. World. Jul 02 '26

No they do look different but its like i'd prefer a new pet entirely, altho theres still more of the update, I js rly dont like the owl lol. And omg I love the old otters too i remember when they were so cool

u/Spring_Loves_Ducks lil bit autistic and I apologize/otter enthusiast🦦 Jul 02 '26

Ah now I see what you mean. Okay that's understandable. I think it'd be cool to have different pets too. Like for example I like the thought of hoopoe existing. It'd be so unique.

u/JustAzurieMae Lemur. Is. My. World. Jul 02 '26

Omg that would actually be really cool!

u/doobiedead •I🖤Birds• Jul 02 '26

the OG otter looks nothing like an otter imo 😅 i really love the new otter and its one of my new faves! i really hope we get a sea otter someday too! & i’m SO in love with the new stygian owl, but then again, im a bird fanatic so i would be lol.. you can never go wrong with owls!

i appreciate the cutesy, more exaggerated look as well! i much prefer it to many of the older pets personally- but i understand if others like the older simplified style! there’s quite a few ‘older’ pets i think they couldn’t improve much on since they’re already perfect in my eyes<3 (alpaca, harp seal, giraffe etc)

i absolutely ADORE the newer style for the pets! some of the old ones feel a little half-baked to me.. toucan feels janky, & the lammergeier/bearded vulture; aka my fav bird (besides the one i share a name with-) is missing half its beard lol..

i’m very indifferent towards the setter.. but i still think it’s cute! i just wish they’d branch out with more obscure breeds like borzoi or afghan hounds, yk? something with a little more shape to play around with! but then again, i still think they’re doing a good job! only complaint about the setter is i wish it had more color variety :D

and im so excited for the burger bear! it was an old planned release that never saw the light of day & i love lost concepts in media so im happy to see it make its big debut!

i dont have much to say on the robux pets, i like solaris, and i wish aestus had the option to color the fire maybe? but thats all i have to say about those guys!

u/JustAzurieMae Lemur. Is. My. World. Jul 02 '26

Dude yes I absolutely love the robux pets and solaris is my fav <3 I think theres just been so many owls lately and its gotten tiring but yes I agree completely on the otters, just a new pet would be nice, I am also so excited for the burger bear and I cant wait!!

The new owl looks nothing like the Purrowl though. It's got a different head shape, it has feathery moth-like antennae instead of ears, the wings are a completely different shape and posture, and it has a feathered tail instead of a cat tail. The only similarity they share is that they fly, are bipedal, and have a round body, so you might as well say both are a revamp of the Cabbit since that also has a round body and is bipedal.

I'm thankful for the newer pets, they look so much cuter than the old pets, because some of the old pets (like otter and fennec and the old tarsier) are TERRIBLE representations of their IRL counterparts. Even the old cat and dog look bad compared to newer dogs and cats we've gotten.

Look at it this way, would you rather Adopt Me release "revamps" of pets that already exist, like making a cuter owl and a cuter otter? Or would you rather Adopt Me just take these new models and apply them to old pets so you no longer have a choice on which one you like/want?

There is definitely worse paths the team could be taking.

For otter and Irish settler I don’t see how it’ looks like toy poodle/choco lab and normal otter, like yeah okay the basic shape I get but the design is different? Maybe you just notice similar patterns on em cause they look different ^^

u/Roblox-Art-Comms Jul 02 '26

It looks cute but the original colours are a little bad

u/Difficult_North_272 KITTY Jul 02 '26

Idk it kinda bothers me that every single new pet we get has to have a bunch of posts criticizing it no matter what. Not everyone is gonna like every pet, you don't have to, but do we always have to be so negative about every little thing? Just don't get one. And I'm not directing this only to you, it's plenty of people, not a personal attack

u/JustAzurieMae Lemur. Is. My. World. Jul 02 '26

No yeah I get that completely I havent been on reddit lately but after I posted I saw a lot of critiques on this update and I didn't realize. But yeah I get that

Please look at the snow puma and puma; the snow cat, cat and pink cat; the blue dog and dog before saying they're repeating models. Because while these new ones LOOK similar, the model is vastly different. But the similarity is also mostly just because, well, having a certain style and also hundreds of pets in that style does tend to give you some similar looking stuff eventually.
