While normally I wait until about a week before the actual colour day before posting a colour day thread, any day in the whole month of October could, potentially, produce a spooky-themed pet. I figured starting it early could be fun.
The poll is limited to the colours (and not colour plus species because some colours (like Transparent) are so new they have too many pets to list easily while others (like Ghost) don't really offer much of a choice.
Last year on Halloween we got the Halloween Chomby
Within the last year the following pets have been released that have a 'spooky', 'dark', or 'evil' theme:
Darigan
Chia
Ghost
Buzz
Halloween
Eyrie
Scorchio
Mutant
Ogrin
Uni
Transparent
Skeith
Zombie
Chomby
Kacheek
Kau
Korbat
Krawk
Moehog
Poogle
Ruki
Zafara
Which leaves the following pets in the same categories:
- Darigan
Elephante
Gnorbu
Lutari
Ogrin
Quiggle
Not exactly a Halloween theme but they are generally considered somewhat evil, even if many suffered after the revamp appearance-wise. A well-done Darigan Elephante could be interesting.
- Ghost
Eyrie
Lutari
Though appropriately spooky there aren't many left. Lutari is probably going to be the last Ghost pet barring the creation of more pets. Eyrie Day is coming up so any Eyrie colours are also possible.
- Halloween
Elephante
Grundo
Lutari
Ogrin
Pteri
Quiggle

The most appropriate colour for this month, but only a few left at that. I was very happy to see a Halloween Eyrie last year. The actual colour is likely to be released on October 29th, though (since the 31st is a Sunday this year). I'm hoping TNT will remember to actually release it and not forget like they usually do when a colour is released near a weekend.
- Mutant
Acara
Chomby
Lutari
Nimmo
Poogle
Wocky
Since there's a Mutant Day it seems unlikely any of these might come into being this month. A Mutant Chomby could be interesting if they do a hydra. I doubt a Mutant Lutari will exist until the pet itself can actually be transferred and owned normally.

Nothing says creepy like seeing the innards of a pet. Transparent is the new colour on the block and made a spectacular appearance in the Skeith. It has yet to appear again, but many folks are hoping for it.

Zombie, at this time last year, had only seventeen pets; it now has twenty-six. It's not only an appropriate for this month but also has free clothing. The art has also been fairly decent, which is always a plus. I don't have any particular desires from this list, though.
Thoughts, hopes, desires?
