cam's neopet side

Like I'm not saying you're wrong for wanting stories where characters face consequences, but it's Neopets. It's lighthearted, kid-friendly fantasy-adventure, and as such we're on a simplified level of storytelling here. So you're going to see a lot of dashing thieves and characters being more sympathetic than they would be in real life and things being resolved with the power of love and understanding.

If you do up to 100,000 cumulative damage to Vocivus (the current plot boss) you get several very good awards

Vocivus started with 850 mil HP, but players almost killed it within 12 hours so TNT boosted it to 3 billion

For players with untrained pets, grinding up to 100K points can take hours, so it's best if it doesn't die too fast

Elite battlers really like Vocivus as it provides a genuine challenge on account of having randomized element immunity and healing from light attacks

Therefore, people on the Neoboards have been "feeding" it light attacks to make sure it doesn't die too fast and have been petitioning it to stay as the "pet" of the Battledome Chat

Some users have also started a psudo-cult worshiping it so now the boards look like this

Please welcome to the stage, LadyNaga!

I DON'T WANT TO BE THIS KIND OF NEOPET ANYMORE!
