They can't be replacing the standard pet images on lookups and quick ref, surely - most of this art is a downgrade at least in detail from the regular art. Perphaps it will be an extra link you can click - like the pet page link.
Some of the revamps I would cry (with joy) to have as actual pet art, however. Sooo confused.
Apparently you can even take pets manes off. I think I'm going to go play...
<b>Edit:</b> This is the initial info text...
You just couldn't resist that button, could you?

You will receive 10 RANDOM species items for every Neopet you customise. This means that, even if you have a Pirate Mynci, for example, the items you receive could be themed around any colour Mynci. A Disco Wig with a Royal Robe? FASHIONABLE!
Note that any changes made to your Neopet WITHIN THIS APPLICATION are not permanent and any items you were given to test will be removed once beta is over, so don't be afraid to get a little wacky! (This means that your Neopet will look exactly the same as it did prior to Beta once Beta is over, unless you change it outside this application like with a visit to the Rainbow Pool or Lab Ray.)

What you are testing is just the customisation application below. The only place you will be able to see your customised Neopet during Beta is in this application and on the Quick Reference page (simply so you can tell at a glance which ones you've already chose to customise). If you find any bugs (hats floating in mid air, Zafaras with Peophin tails, etc.), or if you would like to give any general feedback, please use the feedback button at the bottom of the page. (Make sure to provide the item name and a description of what's wrong if you're submitting a bug!)
If your Neopet isn't being displayed properly (meaning a head or arm goes missing), please try the "[Rerender Neopet]" button first before submitting a bug report.
Thanks for helping us test. (You're pretty awesome.) Have fun!
<b>Edit</b>: According to the info box, you will also be able to add backgrounds to the pet. The pet comes with two savable options, so you can save a normal outfit and a battledome outfit, for example. The battledome poses are drawn (my draik just showed up with two heads because of it)
