Hmm... my all-time fave pet was the first one I ever created, back in my old account before I got cookie-grabbed and he was pounded. It was an Eyrie, and I spent 5 months training him until he had some pretty impressive stats.

I don't have a favourite pet any more. Three of my pets on my main account are destined to be painted cool expensive colours and have amazing petpages and matching petpets. All four of my pets can give an avatar or two if you view their lookups, so I'm very slightly well-known. My highest-stat pet has gotten me a number of trophies, my non-painted pets have frequently-visited petpages and my other painted pet gets quite a few pageviews every day so I'm perfectly content with them 8)

I have Four pets, and each one of then represents something I like a lot, so it's hard to say with one is my favorite. That way:

I have a pirate Eyrie, because he somehows reminds me of a gypsy, representing freedon, the way to do things "out of system". Bonus, since gypsy people have a rich past, represents my foundness for history.

I have an yellow Ruki, standing for my love for motorsports. He is named after an f-1 team, and his petpet is "Pitstop the Rotawheel" - if at least these come in black...

I adopted a Mercaa, to show my patriotism - he was green and yellow - latelly, a fountain faerie quest allowed me to paint him maraquan. Now, I want to return to the green and yellow theme, changing him to robot - I just don't know if I get access to the lab (don't like the concept NOR spending thousands of NP) or wait another quest.

And I have a shadow Blumaroo, my first pet, my battle pet, and... my reason for my ppt name. His name comes from The Blues Brothers movie, and his description has a parody of BB King's song Blues Man:

"I travelled
For miles around
Seems that everybody
Wants to put me down
'Cause I am a blues pet
But I am a good pet
Believe on that

Went up to the Space Station
Look up the prices wall
My owner's NP so light, people
Couldn't get anything at all
I am a blues pet..."

... right... he is my favorite. So sue me.

I have to say I'm torn... I have two favorites, now.

MercuryGuardSapphira is my oldest pet right now, she's my battle pet and has gone through a LOT with me. She's the pet I use for dailies, the pet that's generally the most active.

But now... oh, gee... A few days ago, I FINALLY got my dream pet - Aedaila, my baby Xweetok. I love her because she's one of my top two favorite pets (I'm working on saving up to finally finish out Mercury) but she's a testament to me working really hard and saving up and not spending all the time.

Yeah i think i have to say, I mainly spoil two pets so far. Drawing wise and petpage wise, my maraquan draik ammersee would win. lol. But BD wise, i think my faerie peophin would win. I personally love dragons and drawing them. It's just so fun to do and they are easy to customize! Peophins arent bad but not my favorite creature. Although, i might be changing her into a draik soon so yeah, things can change XP.

He's my favorite. He's not actually my oldest pet -- he and my baby kougra are both apparently 52815 hours (2200 days!) old right this second, but I know the kougra was created a few minutes before the lupe. ;) Close enough, though. He's the pet that has read the most books and fought the most in the BD (his strength, defence, and hit points are now 250, 250, 300). I don't know why I've always liked him the best, but I have. I just like the wolfish look, I guess. He was a lab pet for a while, but he started out as a yellow lupe and he's been a lupe most of his "life"... mutant, then white, then Tyrannian, which is my favorite lupe color because it's so shaggy.

I have 3 pets, and I wouldn't to lose any of them. I tend to imagine personalities for my pets, and they're all similar to me in some way.

As for playing favorites, I just specialize what I do for each pet. For my kougra, I work on his stats. For my elephante, I read her books. And my aisha doesn't have a particular 'activity' but she gets to be the cute baby of the family. ^^

My favorite is my first pet on my main account, Kasey's_Girl. I'd already created two accounts before this one and took a couple year break in between them and the current one, so she's not that old, but I read to her, I use her in the Battledome, and I try to keep her as my active pet.
I have 20 referrals for Premium left if anyone is interested!

Well I've only been playing for two months, and only have two pets which I'm equally attached to. But I guess if I had to pick a favorite, it would be my first, my eyrie, Lyre_77. It annoys me that I put numbers in her name, but when I made her I was determined that her name would be Lyre, so I had to add numbers. I just pretend they're not there.
She's the one I am (very slowly) training to be a battle dome pet, and her personality is a lot like mine. Although she's more grouchy than me. Hehe. She's currently green, but she'll be painted shadow very soon. Then I'll come up with a cool custom look for her and develop her personality more and maybe write a story or something for her.
But don't tell my uni I said all that, I love him too! XD

My favourite is 00sims - he used to be a jetsam which is my favourite pet, but I'm labbing him, and now he's ugly but I still love him. Aesthetically, Tentaskull is my favourite because mutant Jetsams are the peak of coolness :D

My favorite pet is also my first pet, my blue Eyrie. (Actually, she's a Koi right now thanks to the lab -- this is the third time the lab has made her a Koi -- but she'll be back to blue Eyriedom soon enough.)

She's my battle pet, she's had the most books read to her, the only one with a PPL trophy, and my very favorite.

Maybe someday I'll paint her, but right now I'm leaving her blue. It tickles me that with a Grey Wocky, a Darigan Peophin, and a Maraquan Draik on my various accounts, the pet I've spent the most NP on is my blue Eyrie.

It used to be my Tyrannian Uni, with a Vacana petpet, she was my first! But now since i've saved up the NP's to hatch him, it might be my draik. It is a close call though. When/if TNT release a Grey Draik I think that will definitly tip the scales in his direction.

My very first pets were made three years ago, and my tastes have changed vastly, and that old account was abandoned and the pets forgotten...
At the moment my favorite pet is my Darigan Eyrie, I created her intending to make her very smart, but books got expensive. Even though her name is really cliche' and underscory, I love her :P

technically, my first pet was an ixi that a friend made for me on her account when she was getting me into Neopets. Since she had the lab ray, I let her zap Rinsykul to see if we could get a better colour. Eventually I made my own account while Rinsykul was being labbed, and I picked up another ixi, Momo_Adashi from the pound. Rinsykul's currently an acara, and I haven't decided if I'm going to change her species or paint her ghost.
My favourite pet, though, I think would be GeckoMcYekko because of his name. Unfortunately, he's no longer a techo since my luck ran out on the lab ray after painting Momo_Adashi grey and mushyoli, my mynci, robot. GeckoMcYekko was a bori for a while, and is now an ogrin and has been for months. I'm just about to give up on the lab and just buy a morphing potion to make him a techo again and then paint him. Oh, and I loves Quorly, my Lutari!
Oh, everyone thinks I'm crazy, just 'cause I try to warn people about the face-sucking aliens headed for Earth. Yeah, laugh now, have your face sucked off later. When the aliens come, I'll be the only one left with a face, and I'll be using that face to laugh at all of you, even though I'll be sad.
