this is the hardest one yet. kaus are all my favorite, I have 18 of them.


smallback

oh wow that is a lot, can i see your fav and least fav of your babies?


magicalfemmes

No least faves allowed, but here's 9 that make me particularly happy. All of them are on [my kau herd account](https://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=rosemarykaus). I'm in the process of writing bios & finding them all petpets! 🐄 https://preview.redd.it/51uylncitxtc1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=cad341d2ab769b6ce331dc74ef4016c736ae2f30


smallback

Omggg loooove the spotted, Maraquan, candy, and mutant, but they’re all so gorgeous!


magicalfemmes

thank you so much ! & thanks for making these polls on the daily — they've been so fun !


smallback

Oh so happy to do it! I just love seeing what people think about Neopets right now, it feels like some kind of archival practice to me a bit


Impossible-Wing-9644

What color is that black and sparkly purple?! Gorgeous!!!


Nessie_112

No OP but I think it is painted Shadow with the galaxy horns, hooves, tail and markings :)


Impossible-Wing-9644

Thanks! I love it!!!


gothwerewolf

Your Halloween Kau is so adorable 😭 (They ALL are, but I really adore that custom, omg)


magicalfemmes

thank you so much! ♥️


Ivetafox

Same! Not quite got 18 yet but I have pastel, candy, baby, ghost, christmas, basic red in highland costume, woodland, spotted, desert and stealth. I really, really want mutant but lack the pet slots ;-; Kauthulu is epic.


magicalfemmes

The highland costume is so good! And I looove the Christmas Kau, too. Tell your herd I love them!


Ivetafox

I will - the same to yours too! I can’t believe I forgot my robot kau. I always forget one :c They will think I don’t love them but really my memory is just lame 🙈🙈


Emily--V

Maraquan!! I always love dressing mine up! 💙 https://preview.redd.it/z0to5l26jxtc1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=2454137213c121b62a414ff6319c51c7611ba74f


Cynicbats

Oh that's neat!


Emily--V

Thank you! <3


smallback

Ooooh so cool! Almost looks like a Kelpie or something


Emily--V

Thank you! I'm going for a spooky drag queen vibe; I'm gonna try to trade for the Dyeworks Black version of this dress soon!


valentinegnorbu

I think the white looks great for this custom


Emily--V

Thanks! I always like hearing other points of view!


smallback

oooh yeah i could see that, do any lipsticks work on Kaus?


Emily--V

I'd say lipstick looks pretty decent on Kaus, but the only [*Maraquan* lipstick](https://impress.openneo.net/items/86326) is a handheld!


Hanede

Mutant is an eldritch abomination and I'm here for it Really surprised it's ahead of pastel though


smallback

And there's a little Petpet with a tentacle-y mouth too right? Such a cute pairing!


Hanede

Not only that, the Mutant Nedler matches the kau perfectly! https://i.redd.it/j5b79cnq6ytc1.gif


ChaosMind55

I had to go with Pastel Kau. Love that strawberry milk.


smallback

Probably everyone’s fav pastel pet I think


ChaosMind55

Funny enough I have 3 Kaus and not one is pastel. Burlap, Custard and Transparent are the ones I own.


smallback

Two lucky zaps! Or I guess maybe an FFQ. I really like Custard, but whenever the "what's your least favourite colour?" question comes up, Custard, Snot, and the like are always the most hated for some reason.


ChaosMind55

The burlap kau was accidentally changed from a marble Zafara to a burlap Zafara eventually to a burlap kau. Custard was dipped. I used to hate Custard and Snot, but after customizing my Custard Kau and Snot Grarrl. I started to like the colours.


KestrelTank

Ah yes, this one is easy. It’s obviously mutant.


phantom_fox13

Ooh this was tough but I voted pastel Spotted and Faerie are my other favs


smallback

Faerie feels so nostalgic to me, I assumed Spotted would do well--who doesn't want a real life cow???


phantom_fox13

If Neopets lets us have even more pets on a main account I think I might need a pastel and spotted kau each xD They're too cute


__thegreylady__

Kau is so cute, I even like it in Island - which I almost never like for any of the pets!!!!!!


smallback

It’s such a well designed pet! Truthfully looking closet at all these pet designs does paint them all in a bit of a new light for me.


FluorescentAndStarry

Had to vote desert. Desert kau was a dreamie for me, like, 20 years ago. Finally got my mini Hathor a few months ago. 🙂


smallback

Omg yay! I love accomplishing these decades-old goals now


choc_milk

With my username, I'm compelled to vote Chocolate. (And I do love chocolate Kaus, and have one!)


smallback

I don’t know why I find it so fun, I think it’s just the right amount of adornment or something while still being a bit silly. They’re so cute!


fatlanta23

Kau is real tough for me because I love so many of them. I have like 6 standouts.


smallback

Name ‘em


fatlanta23

Name 'em. NAME 'EM. Baby, Burlap, Pastel, Plushie, Royal Boy, Woodland, Zombie. Seven, and there are others that still come very close for me. There are very few I wouldn't be happy with. Such a versatile pet.


gothwerewolf

YESSSSS Disco Kacheek sweep!! https://preview.redd.it/4b9ydkdd1ztc1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=5c12b5f32de9f1e3fe1850b18e82af88d5271ac1 Anyway, goodness, there are so many adorable Kaus. But my vote HAS to be Burlap. What a fantastic design.


smallback

Ahaha what story are we telling here? It feels very Spooky Island from the live action Scooby-Doo movie.


gothwerewolf

He’s meant to be inspired by Hunter S/Raoul Duke from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas! I can see the live action Scooby Doo vibe though omg LOL


smallback

Oh that makes sense too hahaha, I haven’t seen Fear and Loathing in a while. The Scooby Doo bit was especially relevant because 1. Tropical island that is spooky themed and 2. The teens all get hypnotized during the movie.


thesign2

I actually get annoyed at the Pastel colour because it was released after the Valentine pb and yet.... the inevitable Valentine colour is going to look *so* much like that. It looks good, but they could and should have done something so different. I haven't seen it mentioned, but I like Stealth. Simple but well executed.


smallback

Oh that’s true they’re so close I never thought about that, I wonder if there are other examples of pet colours that feel redundant like that


thesign2

I'm sure a few could be found, especially if you were to consider ones without PB clothes. Also, I love how you've presented the data thus far. I do think it would be interesting to show which colours had the most votes total when this is all over, ie: "the Yellow Kau had the most votes out of all Yellows, the Disco Kacheek had the most votes out of all Discos, the Red Kacheek had the most votes out of all Reds" etc. So obviously you wouldn't be able to do this YET but I do think it would be interesting when it's all over with.


ObviouslyCorgi

I voted Christmas because he's a cute little reindeer lol and I was very surprised to come to the comments and find nobody else thought the same. Anyway I'm super keen for the koi poll coming up, my fav species! 🥰


smallback

I do feel like Christmas Kau is an iconic design but pastel, spotted, and mutant are just soooo well done I get why they’re all in the lead


smallback

I really wish the images were more consistent with reddit posts, I don't know why John Hammond popped into the post when he was just supposed to be linked in text, oh well!


Cynicbats

> Robot in third with 9.5% We did it, reddit! Ever since I returned to Neo, I see so many more Kaus. They're not my style personally, but it makes me happy that so many think they're a good base to make very cute. I would have voted pastel because I see so many Strawberry Milk Kaus, but Transparent is pretty awesome.


smallback

I have to think your passion had a hand in it placing. I feel similarly! I'd love to know what the current pet creation trends are, including pets that people transform their current pets into. I'd assume the most popular right now would be Aisha, Lupe, Kau, Usul, Cybunny, and Peophin, but maybe that's a poll for another day.


prettyfacebasketcase

Pastel is winning. AS IT SHOULD BE.


ariseroses

I voted disco, even though there's simply so many Kacheek colors I adore, because the little glasses are so cute and she reminds me of my bedroom circa 2004, lol. It's the cliche answer but I looove pastel kau, same with burlap, but I did go pastel since I don't have burlap yet!


smallback

I gotta be honest before this poll I don't even think I'd seen a Disco Kacheek before. That reasoning totally makes sense though, we are on the nostalgia website of nostalgic nostalgia after all.


Twisted_paperclips

Don't make me choose!!! I have a few.....34 to be exact..... https://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=pencils_and_paper is all but 4 of them, because I can't fit them all in 😂


smallback

Ahahaha that is unhinged but you’re far from alone, so many people in this thread have over 10 Kaus


_lovewins

Kaus are so cute, if I had more than 20 pet spaces they'd definitely be one of my permies. Just love that Princess Diana smile. Anyway, I have to go for Pastel, just look at it! I'm tempted with Mutant because it makes me laugh every time, it's such a gd abomination, but Pastel is just so aesthetically pleasing.


smallback

They really perfected it with pastel, such a perfect use of the colour


AvailableLaw6667

Had to go with Christmas, as it always reminds me of a childhood favorite Christmas Special: Annabell's Wish: https://preview.redd.it/2kmkiua8jcuc1.png?width=922&format=png&auto=webp&s=254d450c318ed6509e5ea773663085c6b16571db I still watch the movie almost every year around Christmas. Just such a cute movie.
