The Zomutt's main claim to fame is unfortunately being really expensive, as it's available almost exclusively via Test Your Strength. I say "unfortunately" because I do think this is a great petpet; it manages to be a good blend of cute and slightly creepy, which is vital for a Spooky Petpet and gives it a lot of charm.

While the name suggests a zombie mutt (dog), the design feels a little more Frankenstein-ish to me, with a strong green and gray palette, sunken eyes, horns, and four ears. The ears in particular help this look like a unique creature and not just literally a dog that's also a zombie, and the eyes give it a spooky but adorable expression, especially because the sockets aren't the same size. If it were just more easily available, it'd be perfect.

Favorite Colours:

Faerie: The faerie Zomutt is cute but not really any less spooky, adding blue and swapping green for teal and gray for white. The most notable thing are the wings, which mimic the four ears as a nice touch. The unique pose is also super cute and is always nice to see with petpets.

Robot: Once again, the robot Zomutt is not any less creepy than the original; in fact, I'd argue the completely flat red terminator eyes actually make it more creepy. The robot detailing is also good, and reads surprisingly well at the small size without sacrificing intricacy.

Mutant: Admittedly this isn't the most creative mutant out there (it looks almost more Darigan-ish than mutant), but I do like the design. The extremely grumpy expression is very charming, and I like all the details, from the longer collar spikes and the addition of claws ot the longer head horns and bigger, more detailed skull collar. Could stand to be more mutant-y, but still enjoyable regardless.

Least Favorite Colour:

It’s easier if I explain how I do it? Otherwise it sounds kinda weird.

So lets say you wanted to build a team for Arena this seasons bonus units are

so I’d start by picking one of those, in my case I picked Halloween Henry as he’s my best unit out of the bonus.

I built him to counter Reinhardt and Brave Lyn two of the biggest threats in arena (and if your hero can’t counter them when you pick other team mates its a good idea to bring someone who can)

So with Henry as my leader I evaluate my options. I can either go Mixed Emblem, or armour emblem. Personally I’m not a fan of armour emblem so I decided to go mixed. But I feel if you use armours you ought to use armour march. And while Henry comes with it, I wanted attack ploy on him, so that lead me to pick...

Amelia! She pairs nicely with Henry as she’s far more offensive, I don’t have distant counter for her, so Fury was my best option and it goes well with renewal. I could’ve used Black knight here but I didn’t as I felt he’s defensive, but also I just don’t enjoy him as a character/unit, but he could be a better pick for colour synergy. But also I don’t have armour march on him and it means Henry couldn’t use attack ploy against the +10 Lyns in tier 20.

But anyway as you can tell I have a glaring Red weakness now, so it’s best to add a blue unit to the team. Since I decided to go mixed there was a obvious choice for this slot.

Tana’s guidance pairs incredibly well with armour march and lets her effectively destroy any threat if she flies right. Plus she can be defensive with Vidofnir so I can handle offensive reds. Plus Henry covers her archer weakness too, while Amelia can Handle other Lancers quite well.

Finally I needed a dancer and I had a few options but I went with...

dancer Olivia, mainly for arena score, but she can handle most mages like Nino very well if unboosted due to her amazing speed stat of 45. It also lets her help my armours if separated or catch up to the team with Tanas guidance/reposistion I could use normal Olivia as a red dancer but arena score is important.

and that’s how I build a team, I aim for a dancer + one bonus unit ideally and then look at what colours I’m weak too, if my team is slow or fast (this team is incredibly fast btw which is very good) try to cover your weakness so if you have a flying user, its normally good to have a raven tome on the team, or armours appreciate armour march or guidance support.

Some weapons require entire team building like owl tomes but remember skills support each other, so dancers with wings of mercy are good with units who like being low on hp, like a desperation user,or vantage, or tanks enjoys healer support be it a healer or falchion healer.

i decided to back Beruka and she's trailing Subaki by like ~4 million points rn and it's both baffling and distressing. :///

they might just be sparring!! watch their body language. Is one visibly distressed (ears back, growling/whining, puffed up tail)? that's a sign that they're fighting for real and not for fun. Otherwise they're probably just playing! I also freak out when my cats fight but 9/10 times they're just playing. :3c

This dog is testing you! My GOD. She opened the WINDOW???

YES!!! i have no fucking idea how???? she has ridden in the backseat with me like every other day since I got her and now she’s pulling out all this new shit???

somewhereflying replied to your post:SO. i went over to the parentals for the...

OH GOD BISCOTTI NOOOO holy crap that would give me a heart attack. sooo glad nothing bad happened!

Like, people are usually going 80 down that road, I didn’t even have time to consider anything other than ‘roll the window up, put the hazards on, get the dog back in the car’

a pupper on a brief but necessary walk perhaps?

i would like to meet the brave soul walking a dog at 11:00 at night in the pouring rain. like lightning flashes and everything.

??? so weird… you did the work, so they owe you the check. If there’s one thing that r/legaladvice has taught me, it’s that! keep bugging them, you are owed that check.

I think I got things sorted out - I should be meeting the HR lady today to get my check but seriously, what the fuck??

And the questions they had were like... basic shit. Stuff they could have emailed the other person and gotten clarification. and I didn’t finish a monumental task they gave me the last 3 day week I was working. Because I... don’t care? I don’t care.

if your boss can’t admit their failings in not having a training, then they suck and its very dishonest. also exact same situation happened to a former colleague except she was asked without training or briefing to take over a client presentation. she had a fairly mid-level researcher position, so she wasn’t starting at the beginning, but she felt very uncomfortable to thrown like that without any input whatsoever.

somewhereflying replied to your post:Me: /never receives training on task

Ah this happens to me, too. The difference is that my boss knows I never got training to do admin work and had me do admin anyway, so when I do something wrong her response is “it’s okay, you never learned, so let’s learn now”. From what I’ve gathered it’s because bosses have to put blame somewhere and don’t like admitting they messed up.

Basically. And I’m 100% not here for that. Like, it’s bad enough that I had to figure this out myself without people faking like they did this right the first time.
