The Animal Jam Thread [V11]

[Sieglinde Slayer]

So, the Direwolves were released today. I can safely say I really dislike them.

I already wasn't a fan of the new trend of "Slap some extra fur/hair on a pre-existing animal and call it a new one" animal design, as seen with the Clydesdales and Sabertooths. I loved the Sabers but it was just a Tiger that was bulked up and had some longer teeth. I took one look at the Direwolves and I just hated them.

1: They honestly look exactly like Greeley, just without his cloak. It comes across as very lazy, and sort of confusing as Greeley is supposed to be the alpha of the Wolves, not Direwolves. And, for some more personal reasons I am not a fan of Greeley, so I wasn't excited about this.

2: They just come across as a new animal to cater to Aldan players. Spiked Collars are unnaturally enormous on them,Worn Blankets are thicker then normal, Headdresses are quite prominent on them, and a lot of "normal" items don't have as much effort put into them, such as the Fluffy Fox Head and Top Hats, which when equipped have the Direwolves' eyebrows clip through.

3: There's already a bunch of glitches with them. When Diamond Encrusted Helmets are equipped and you exit out of your inventory, it turns their nose white. When you first buy a Direwolf, the icon in the bottom left corner keeps your original animal's colors. Fluffy Fox Head tails stick up when viewed in the inventory. They have a grainy white outline around them, which is especially noticeable when up against a dark background. And a whole motley crew of other things.

4: As well as just looking like Greeley, they also just look like a Wolf and an Arctic Wolf smashed together, again following the new trend of just adding some more fur onto an already existing animal. They have the neck fluff of an Arctic Wolf, the hunch of a Wolf, the poofy tail of an Arctic wolf, and the default bored eyes that Wolves used to have.

Personally, I hate the Direwolves, but that doesn't mean you can't like them. I just have a lot of problems with them, as listed above. I'd rather spend my diamonds on Masterpieces than this thing.

I agree 100 percent. They are so disappointing.

I believe they are a good long, but will slowly climb in value as they are an Animal Jam Box item, so they won't be rereleased again.

Mmmmm not a huge fan...

I can see why most people wouldn't like them. Really the only reason I enjoy them, like I said, is because they remind me of the characters from one of my favorite movies. If it weren't for that I would probably be in the same boat with everyone else. But there's always gonna be people that love them, and people that hate them, and that's totally okay.

Small side-note: The Diamond Encrusted Helmet is supposed to turn their nose white, it's part of the helmet. Try on some other animals and you'll see what I mean. c:
