Are your Pets tired of all those Books and Beauty Items being used on them? Do they long for something new, something fun? Well, we might have just the right thing in store for them today!
In addition to collecting the aforementioned Books and Beauty Items, you and your Pets can now hunt down Plushies to complete the newly released Plushie Collection! Just like the other two collections, the Plushie Collection is classified as a Pet Collection, hence being accessible through your Pet's profile instead of your own.
To add Items to the new Collection, simply go to your inventory, click on the Plushie you wish to add and then click "Add to X's Collection".
Of course a new Pet Collection comes with its very own Leaderboards and Trophies. As with all other Collections, Trophies are only awarded for using the most unique Plushies on your Pet, not for the highest total count.
With the reveal of our newest Collection, the Team Contest can officially begin! As you might have guessed by now, your objective will be to collect and use as many Plushies on your Team Pet as possible. The Team leaders have received the Pets in question, so there should be nothing holding your Team back!
But wait, some of the Prizes we announced still remained a secret - until now!
In addition to the Prizes announced before, the two best teams will also receive a Plushie of their choice!
Now that all preparations have been made, every participant has received their Team's Avatar, Profile Skin and Forum Title to further show their support. With all of that out of the way...
Let the battle BEGIN!
Remember that you have until the 31st of July, 23:59:59 IST to fill your Team Pet's Plushie Collection as much as possible.
Please keep in mind that your efforts are being monitored by your Team leaders. If they feel like a Team member has not been participating enough and shouldn't receive Team prizes, they will send in a Support Ticket, so the matter can be investigated by Staff. Don't leave your Team hanging and give it your all!
With the teams announced, it's time for you to make final preparations. As a team, you will have to decide on a team leader that will be in charge of taking care of your Team Pet and using Items sent on it. Please send a message with your team's decision to @Luventas as soon as possible.
Want to show support for your team? Not participating yourself, but willing to cheer for your favourite? Feel free to use the banners from this newspost to do so!

What is this? It looks like another Team Contest is right around the corner! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept of these: Four teams work on making their respective Team Pet the greatest of them all, besting the rivals to snatch some amazing prizes.
The contest will start on July 18th and will go all the way until July 31st. However, it seems like the exact theme of the upcoming clash will remain hidden until the very last moment... How mean!
You have until July 13th, 23:59:59 IST to leave a comment below, signing up for the contest. Your name will then be added to the list of applicants which can be found in the second comment on this news post. We will be aiming for around 15 participants per team and will try to include every applicant into this contest! As in previous contests, users will be assigned randomly to one of the four teams. If you have already been part of a previous contest, Staff will try to put you into a different team than before so you can unlock items and avatars you might not have yet.
Of course no contest goes by without rules:
- Each team will elect a captain who will be in charge of the Pet, using all items sent by teammates on it. Using these contest-relevant items for other purposes is against the site rules and will have severe consequences. - The Pets will be distributed once the contest starts. An empty Pet Slot Key will not be necessary. - Team members will send all of the items required for the contest which they wish to be used on the Pet to their team captain. - Any items used on the Team Pet will not be returned after the contest. - Participation is important! If your team members do not feel you have pulled your weight throughout the contest, your prizes will be forfeited! You may make an appeal to the staff if you feel you were unfairly treated. Staff have the final say in the matter. - You are allowed to abandon the starting Pet in the pound to move it to another teammate's account, but if someone who is not on your team snags it, even if they are not participating in the contest, your team will automatically forfeit.
The prizes for this very special occasion will be revealed in a few days. Until then... Let the posting begin!
If any questions still remain unanswered, feel free to let us know so we can get back to you immediately!

Crashing in with blazing fists arrives the new Firebreathing Audril! This feisty new Pet was funded by @Gifted and is ready to set your heart aflame, and contrary to their spunky appearance, these Audrils can actually be quite sweet. The Pets are guaranteed to make your life more exciting and keep you on your toes (in a good way, of course)! Though, you may need to pump the air conditioning when they're around you — things tend to get a bit heated sometimes.
If you're willing to adopt one of these lively Pets, you can now find the Firebreathing Audril Morphing Potion at the I.C.E Shop for 500 IC (450 IC for Gold Accounts) or at the Snow Jar Igloo. Why wait — go pick up one of these guys as soon as you can! They can't wait to cause trouble with you.

Over the past few days, the temperatures all around Terrafrost have been rising into oblivion. Might it be the new Firebreathing Zabeu's doing? We will consider asking @Gifted about that, because it seems like the two of them are pretty close friends...
As our newest family member is a Zabeu, getting one yourself might be a little more difficult than it usually is, seeing how there is no Morphing Potion for the Pet itself. To make your hunt for the Firebreathing Zabeu a little easier, the Firebreathing Snow Jar will stock at the I.C.E. Shop at the regular price of 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Members) for a limited time, in addition to being stocked at the Snow Jar Igloo.
New to the Zabeu scene? They can be obtained by taking a trip to the Mystic Rock after completing the Plot. Be sure to bring one Zabeu Totem if you would like to summon a new Zabeu Pet, or three Zabeu Totems if you want to transform one of your current Pets!

What now, a new month already? That also means...
... that new Items are stocking in the I.C.E. Shop! Get your hands on the newly released Ridix Fist, Vine Ice Cube, and the returning Jacobs Ladder before the month ends, each at a price of 500 IceCash (only 450 for Gold Members)!
Tables have been put away, signs are being taken down and the Voting Booths are closed until next month. Of course, this can only mean one thing! It's time to announce the winners of Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! Scoring the most votes for Yet to Win MOTM everyone say congratulations to...
Thank you for being such a great part of our community! You will receive 100,000 IcePoints and this exclusive Hidden Avatar:
Here's our favourite things about Splash:
- She's a long-time user that I'm surprised hasn't won yet. She's extremely nice during all of my interactions with her AND she's willing to lend a hand.
- I think Splash really takes it this month! I love seeing our older members get monthly recognitions for all of their hard work.
Next up, with the most votes for Free for All MOTM everyone say congratulations to...
Thank you for being such a great part of our community! You will receive 100,000 IcePoints and this exclusive Hidden Avatar/Trophy:
Here's our favourite things about SunnySparks:
- I think SunnySparks should win the Free Vote MOTM title this month. She's a hugely important member of IcePets and a perfect fit for the MOTM requirements. I'd miss seeing her around the site if she left.
- I have seen them around the boards this month and they've always been kind and lovely to talk with!
While everyone was busy cleaning up after MOTM Voting, our lovely Staff took a few moments out of their busy schedule to vote on SOTM! After collecting and counting out the votes, SOTM goes to...
Shibe's work ethid for the past month (and the past couple of months, if we're being honest!) has been amazing. She's such a great person to work with - always willing to hear you out and work with you. There's no doubt that all of her Pet artwork has been out of this world lately. To celebrate, we've created the following Item in her honour!
