I think unlike most people I never really like the Nixi until this revamp. To me they always looked- too thin and slightly uncomfortable. I love this revamp, and it makes me want to start collecting them. I love the fluffiness, and the overall design in general- I assume almost all the pets are going to get revamps, and if they ever get to Lupora, I'm sure they will make the Lupora and Zolnixi not look alike. The fluffiness makes it look a little like Lupora, but if you look at foxes and wolves, they definitely look similar as well. They are both from the canine family. Plus, as Faiona said, they aren't the actual animals. They are Sylesties; maybe the site creators want them to look more alike so they can add a new type of pet, or add lore that they were once related.

I understand people feeling very passionate about designs and minor changes but I hope they continue with the revamp and do what they decide is best. I have yet to see Fai and Krin make decisions that make thousands of players horribly unhappy. I'm confident that they will do whatever needs to be done and that will be that. From me, again, I love the design. I'm excited to see the Morkko redone after this if it will be. The poor bears(especially the male) need something to make them more lovable in my opinion.

While I 100% understand that Sylesties are not exactly the same as the creatures they are based on, I still appreciate nods to the muses of the creatures here. What really sets them apart from real animals is all of their genes and mutations anyways. That's where a Fox and a Zolnixi are no longer the same thing, so I personally don't see any harm in trying to incorporate a bit more of a foxes features into the art style.

As in Cloud's post, I personally find the adjustments to the head (ears, face, muzzle, blahblah) the most successful at changing what currently bugs me about the Zolnixi.

And that is perfectly fine and we don't disagree with you with altering them some. Like I said earlier, we will be adjusting some stuff. Their new fluffy lines though won't be going away. But we will do some minor edits from the feedback that we have received so far. :)

These are so cute! Nixis are my fav just below Lups :D I think you guys have done amazing jobs on all your redraws and I can't wait to see more :3 If I am allowed to say one thing, I am personally hoping for a fuller coated Lupora X) But aside that, The sylvorpas and nixis look amazing and I love the game! Thanks you guys :3
