Zafara Day Roundup

It's time to celebrate Zafaras! Let's see what's new for this species:


Snot

If you plan on creating an Snot Zafara, check out our Modeling page, as we'll need your help!

New fabled outfit is stocking over at Cog's Togs:




Plushie Palace is begun stocking a new plushie:


TNT has also completed the HTML5 conversion on some previous pet day wearables as well, so they should now appear on your customisations again!


A Pet Day mystery capsule is available at the NC Mall:

Snot Zafara is ew but Snot is such a bad color with little room for individuality in design so it's not really a fault of the specific art of Snot Zafar, just Snot sucking in general.

Can't help but notice they just excluded the hyper realistic Jebora from the capsule preview. Lol. I don't hate it, in fact I kind of like it for the sheer audacity of it existing and not fitting in, but if I were a Zafara superfan I could also see an argument why one would think it's a bad addition.

these outfits are just getting ridiculous...

is neopets partnering with natgeo?
that jerboa is so weird and uncanny to look at on neopets.com...
like they could have just given us a simple LD outfit for the cap... or some intricate jewelry... but instead we have an in-universe psimouse fanning a giant out-of-universe jerboa... just because..?

what in the world is the fabled outfit
also never a fan of the hyper realistic pet outfits but it doesnt affect me, this one is cute at least instead of kinda scary

snot is Snot but they did it well i think, looks fittingly yucky
nice to have another more generic desert-y bg!

oof that copy-pasted NC bush foreground doesn't even look good on the background it's designed for.......... yeesh. these pet day caps really are all over the place huh!! aestheticwise i'm intrigued that the petpets are lost desert themed but the bg looks like the american desert to me! or in neopia it looks a big more tyrannian. orangey and rocky, yknow.
i wonder if the lack of spines on the cacti is intentional, like it's a funny species of smooth neopian cactus, or just an accident. (probably the latter, but you never know)

i like snot pets sometimes, but it's a VERY inconsistent color haha so i'm not surprised i don't like this one.

i wish the fabled outfit was broken up into more pieces! the antlers on the headpiece would look nice on my candy zaf, and the little hair swoop is really cute, and the foot claws are cute too... ah well

The fabled outfit is hideous. Really wish TNT would stop making all these fur suits. Still hate the prospect of Nc capsules but slapping a real animal in one and calling it an 'outfit' is tiresome. Please, let our neopets be neopets.
I understand wanting to use rl animal traits- that's cool! But it should still resemble the neopet in question and shouldn't be a fursuit. Lots of those 'outfits' had the potential to be nice if TNT would instead implement them alt colours instead of oversized clothing pieces.
by regretts on February 3, 2026 4:50 PM NST
Another Snot colour off the list, another design closer to the colour being completed, and that makes me happy! 😊

Snot has 34 out of 56 pets. 22 left to go!

(If anyone doesn't want Snot pets for pet days, I would recommend voting for them in the Pet Day Tally boards to be released on Slorg Day. That way, there's a day where the colour would aid the holiday AND it would bring it closer to completion!)

At first, the capsule made me think of that Pixar Short about the sheep in the desert, but idk if that big creature was one of those. It may had been a jackalope.


I also wish the Fabled outfit had a few other pieces. I like the tail as its own piece and may get it sometime, but I'm sad that (like a few other outfits) the claw parts are not their own thing...I really want more claw items, and there are a lot of great ones - let's keep that going!

To this day I wish I could've had that dark Lenny hand as its own piece instead of being attached to the cloak. The crystal was the only seperate piece!

like the other person said the NC capsule makes no sense. Jerboa's are from Africa but the desert theme is more american south west feeling....It kinda reminds me of the map Scorched Earth from the game Ark Survival Ascended (Evolved). It is a giant desert biome with cacti and Jerboas, but those a much bigger and cuter imo...

does the person in charge of zafara day hate zafaras
by snix_snix on February 3, 2026 6:54 PM NST
As a person who really enjoys zafaras... I think I hate everything.

Like, I also like jerboas! But this just isn't it (for me).

I don't think I saw any snot-related colour requested for Zafara's February pet day. I saw a raptor costume, asked for Zafara, Toy Zafara and 25th-anniversary Zafara.
by orangeblossom45 on February 3, 2026 7:38 PM NST
Man my GOATs got shafted here! Snot?! I kinda like the idea behind the fabled outfit but it just looks like a mess.

The above mentioned raptor thing sounds so cool. very disappointed we didnt get that.
by physaliea on February 3, 2026 7:49 PM NST
fabled outfit looks nice
by lemonnebula on February 3, 2026 8:39 PM NST
Sigh, fabled looks nice but It's R87.

Hopefully nobody likes It so not even botters will bother skyrocketing Its price...

Who am I kidding
by maninshi on February 3, 2026 8:51 PM NST
Not a fan of the wearables unfortunately but I love the plushie!!
by meredith_eldridge on February 3, 2026 8:53 PM NST
AAAAAHHHHHH CRAP I FORGOT IT WAS ZAFARA DAY THIS MONTH
I'VE BEEN BUSY AND STRESSED I FORGOT 😭 man I was gonna submit an art piece too....oh well...

As for these new additions...not really. Into it....
by solarboyaaron on February 3, 2026 10:19 PM NST
Also what the hell. Is that capsule. Why is it just a Jerboa.

What the hell. I wait all year for this day and this capsule and THAT'S what the Zafara gets.

Y'know at this point I should stop having hope that Neopets will do anything right by the species. It's one of the most neglected in anything and im so. So tired.
by solarboyaaron on February 3, 2026 10:20 PM NST
Ooh, Jumping Mice. All it needs now is a teeny tiny circus costume and... ... you can't put any clothes on this costume, can you? Drats..

Snot is Snot. Nothing one can say about that. Fabled outfit is.... Way too much of everything. With all these "Fabled" outfits, I always wonder why they don't just pick a lane and stick to it, rather than throwing all the things they can think of into a single outfit. And I think the Bython Tail looks poorly drawn too, but that's beside the point.

Poor Zafaras. Better luck next year?
by apophis324 on February 4, 2026 12:31 AM NST
i think the fabled outfit is really cute!!! the nc capsule i didn’t even see as a zaf when i saw it without context so… not my favorite. but i do really like the fabled outfit it makes me think of coral i don’t have any zafs but maybe i’ll need one!
by reckless4romance on February 4, 2026 1:51 AM NST
does the person in charge of zafara day hate zafaras

^ I have the same feeling. Year by year I'm disappointed by zafara day. It's my favorite species and always is so poorly handled. My only doubt now is how they can make this day WORSE next year?
by asmodhieus on February 4, 2026 5:47 AM NST
........zafaras are my all time favorite and um. the colors on the fabled outfit are really nice, shame about... everything else. why is the head on the plushie so big...? The jerboa is cute, but like. that's not even remotely a zafara. it could have been just a plain old pet style, why is it zafara specific???????
by rikacreature on February 4, 2026 7:58 AM NST
I love the tail but I have no idea what the fable is supposed to be??
by academy on February 4, 2026 9:07 AM NST
Dang. Was hopeful for Zafara day but am not impressed by any of the new stuff.

Usually, I rather like the Fabled type outfits (my plushie shoyru is wearing their version right now) but the Zaffy one just looks...overdone. Like they couldn't decide between scales and feathers and fluffy so they just mushed them together. All those things can work on one critter (traditional kirin for example) if they are better planned. The antlers/horns are nice and other bits are okay, but the overall look is just messy.

Won't be buying the rather boring pet day capsule.
by kirin on February 4, 2026 9:36 AM NST
The cap items' designer must be the same of korbat day. Plain simple backgrounds (although I admittedly like that night/tree bg of the korbat cap and use it), different themes with barely anything in common mixed up, and literal animals sold as outfits. Well, at least this time we don't have a blood splatter frame
by kirisame on February 4, 2026 12:38 PM NST
The plushie is cute. That's all the positive things I have to say about this day.
by neolodgeism on February 4, 2026 1:27 PM NST
Even though I can understand some of the opinions flying around, I'm actually really grateful to see TNT taking chances with these unique designs! It's really fun to experience so much new on what is also already so nostalgic.

I hope TNT keeps up with challenging the status quo. We already have an understanding of the neopets and their looks, so adding these Cog's Togs and Unis Clothing Shop items to give us a chance to experience more fun with our pets. (Can't speak on MC Mall as much since I do not participate there)

It may not be everyone's favorite each and every time, but the point of design is to make you feel something - whether good or bad!
by hippietayloreileen on February 4, 2026 4:38 PM NST
I just want the Snot color name to be changed to Slime instead. It'd be a *little* more appealing that way...
by alphashadow on February 4, 2026 7:44 PM NST
Snot is... well, snot. Not good or bad, just kinda... there.

The rest is mega disappointing though. The outfit is a mess (to put it nicely) like they couldn't really decide what direction to go it. And while I hate the pet day caps, I'm still disappointed - choose a theme, people! And what's with the random real animal again?! If they had to go the natgeo route at least do a kangaroo or jackrabbit or something...

The plushie just makes me sad, it's a full-on converted pose, fists and all.

As a zafara-lover, I almost wish we got nothing, instead.
