What's that noise? Is it the sound of a distant barking, or just your watch? It could be either, based on the requests we bring to you today!
First off is the adorable Scottie Plushie, requested by @LinkArctic! This wee little thing is now available in Plushie Mania and will be requested by the Plushie Quest.
Next up, we have the Which one is best? Avatar, funded by @gotchalocket. Good luck figuring out how to obtain this one!
And last up, we have a new set of watches, brought to you by @Cowpro. Look for the Dark Apple Watch and its variations, the Dark Apple Watch XL, Rose Gold Dark Apple Watch, Space Grey Dark Apple Watch, and Dark Apple Watch Mini in the Grooming Parlour. Be sure to pick these up while supplies last!*

On the long journey back to the Terrafrost mainlands, the new Lugra passengers found themselves inspired by their swashbuckling crewmates and decided to dress to the occasion.
The Pirate Lugra has joined the roster! You can get your paws on the Pirate Lugra Morphing Potion over at the Token Booth like the others. Or if you are extra eager, the Morphing Potion is in the I.C.E Shop until the end of December for 500 IceCash (450 IceCash for Gold Account members)!
In other news, IcePets is hiring! We are currently seeking two editors and one moderator to join our team! If you are interested in applying, please visit our Support Site for information.

All hands on deck! Thar be land ahead, mates! And there ain't been no islands charted here before -- this'll be big news back home, bet yer bonnets.
Oy, there's a ship docked already. An old ship. Maybe... a hun'red years old? That ain't no ghost ship, it's the real deal! All them sightings... sailors been seein' the real ship, comin' and goin' off this island the whole time. Well shiver me timbers. And what on Terrafrost...
An unfamiliar sea-plant-slug-type creature approaches down a small, frightfully old and decrepit dock as Salt-Eye, Splinter Jack, and the rest of the crew start tossing down ropes and planks. The newcomer eyes you suspiciously while others like her hang back, watching. "This is Sea Breeze Island," she says. "Why did you come here?"
Cap'n Salt-Eye salutes. "We been trackin' a ghost ship down south 'ere. I reckon it's that girl tied up right there!" He points to the other ship at the dock. "'Ow'd she wind up here?"
"You're like the others, then. Explorers?" She waves the others to come help secure your ship. "A crew like yours landed here a hundred years ago, yes. They joined our colony and lived with us. You can meet some of their descendants back in town, if you'd like."
"If'n you don't mind my asking," Salt-Eye says, "what exactly are you?"
She laughs, a sound like sea shells clinking in beach grass. "I'm a Lugra. I guess we do keep to ourselves, so I shouldn't be surprised you haven't seen one of us before. You know, a few of the younger Lugrae are simply dying to cross the ocean and see the world -- maybe your arrival is just what we need."
Your hard work helped the crew arrive safely and securely, so everyone who chipped in will be awarded the Lugra Discovery Participant Trophy for their profile, the new Discovery Hidden Avatar, a Pirate Snow Jar, and one random basic Lugra Morphing Potion.
Lugra Morphing Potions will now be permanently stocking in the Snow Jar Igloo in fourteen basic colours: Black, Blue, Brown, Cottoncandy, Green, Grey, Ice, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Snowdrift, White, and Yellow. Like the others of its kind, the Bluegreen potion will be in the Referral Shop.
To go with this exciting new Pet, you can now find its associated Lugra Default Avatar in the avatar options, as well as the Lugra Stamp in the Post Office, and Pink Lugra Ice Cube in the Frozen Collectives Emporium!
We hope you had fun, and we can't wait to see some Lugrae join your IcePet families!

Many of you have been asking after the long-awaited Krittle Chocolates, and we're happy to announce they're here! Tease your tastebuds with the scrumptious Milk Chocolate Krittle, White Chocolate Krittle, and Dark Chocolate Krittle.
All three of these new chocolates can be found at Sugar Rush, and they'll be requested by our favourite Chocolate Traptur for the Candy Quest from now on. You can also find the Dark Chocolate Krittle in the Token Booth with the others. Enjoy!
The sweet scent of flowers fill the air as the lovely Fairy Zabeu descends from the skies, glittery wings glimmering in the late autumn sun! This elegant little friend was created thanks to @CoastPony!
Like other Zabeu colours, the only way to find on this new Pet is to get yourself a Fairy Snow Jar, which can always be found stocking at the Snow Jar Igloo. If you simply can't wait, the Fairy Snow Jar will stock at the I.C.E Shop until the end of the month for 1,000 IceCash (900 IceCash for Gold Account Members!).
As always, if you want to fund a Pet of your own to add to the site, you can do so through the Support Page.
If you would like to request your own Custom Avatar, they are available on the User Requests page!

Ahoy, ye Terrafrostians! Name's Cap'n Salt-Eye, here. Ye may have noticed the docks a been bustlin' with Pirate Pets. We're preppin' supplies fer an adventure southward, and we need all the hands we can git! Experience don't matter, just guts. Things could get rough, and I need a crew I can count on!
Dunno if ye've heard the tale, but a ship went missin' southward sommat hundred years ago or so. Big crew, beauty of a ship, all just vanished into the wide south ocean, never to be 'eard of again. Now, sailors been spottin' shadows on the horizon, dark ships in the dead of night, all that sorta spooky stuff, and I intend to right find out what's goin' on fer sure. You 'eard me -- we're lookin' for a ghost ship! It'll be a hard few weeks o' sailin' -- the work ain't pretty, and if we run in'a ghost pirates, ya might be in fer a fight. Think yer up for it?
I'll be needin' Pirate Pets for the journey, so if ya ain't got any, see my First Mate "Splinter" Jack an' he can get ya sorted. Head on down to the docks to add yer name to our roster, over on the Sign Up Page.
We 'spect this here voyage to last til abou' 23:59:59 (IcePets Time) on November 26, so git o'er there an' help out!

You voted, and we designed! Allow a bit of lighthearted colour to brighten up your day with the release of the two User-voted Pet Colours.
The most popular choice for the next Dreamworld Pet was the Dreamworld Zabeu! Like the other Zabeu colours, there is no Morphing Potion; you will need to find yourself a Dreamworld Snow Jar to morph your Pet.
The winner for the free-for-all Pet and colour combo was the delightfully cheerful Rainbow Dabu!
Like the other Rainbow Pets, the Rainbow Dabu Morphing Potion can be obtained through completing a Jigsaw Puzzle of the individual colours.
Both the Dreamworld Snow Jar and the Rainbow Dabu Morphing Potion will stock at the I.C.E Shop until the end of the month! Good luck puzzling, and we can't wait to see these new Pets out in the wild!

Just a friendly reminder that on November 10th, 2018 at 21:00 IcePets Time, the website will be undergoing some maintenance. During this time, any progress that is made may be lost. We do not expect this maintenance window to take more than 1 hour.
We will make a news post when the work has begun and ask that Users do not try to play on the site before we post the work has been completed.

You voted, and we wrote! During the Questing Contest, members submitted suggestions for Books and then voted for their favourites. Penelope and Ralph worked together behind the scenes to bind and print the full set, and are proud to stock them on their shelves. They are all available from Ralph at the Book Store and will be requested by Penelope for the Book Quest.
Find out the origins of all six current Quest Giver NPCs with the full set of biographies, Memoirs Vol 1, Memoirs Vol 2, and Memoirs Vol 3.
If you've been feeling down, struggling with mental health, or generally feeling badly about yourself, someone left an Unsigned Letter with encouragement just for you.
If you've been wondering what on Terrafrost the Strange Key and Mysterious Victorian Key are all about, you might be interested in the secrets of The Locksmith's Legacy.
The term "fairy tale" may conjure images of perfect worlds and happy endings, but the original tales are far darker. The story of Audri and Novyl is not for the faint of heart.
Lastly, Freezable Item Guide will be handy for anyone interested in utilizing the Ice Box to freeze Items.
Huge thanks to all the members who voted, and congratulations to the winning ideas! We loved so many of the suggestions, it would have been impossible to choose ourselves, and there were many fantastic near-winners that sadly didn't make the cut. Who knows, maybe there will be more opportunities for them in the future! Enjoy the reads!

We are aware of recent issues Users have had with the site running slow. As a result, on November 10th, 21:00 IcePets Time the website will be under maintenance for approximately one hour.
We will make a news post when the work has begun and ask that Users do not try to play on the site before we post the work has been completed. If you do any activities during the maintenance there is a chance your work will be lost.

October has come to a close, and with it the Halloween festivities. Grave Digger is now closed, Trick-or-Treating has ended, and the special Halloween stock is gone from shops and the Token Booth. The Haunted House and ghosts around Terrafrost have returned to their regular habits.
With the end of the spooky month, it's time to announce the winners of the Art Contest! You voted, and we tallied. Say congratulations to...
Third Place: @Varyntha - 100,000 IcePoints - Halloween Snow Jar - Custom Avatar
Second Place: @LinkArctic - 175,000 IcePoints - Halloween Snow Jar - Free Item Request
First Place: @mochihugs - 250,000 IcePoints - Halloween Snow Jar - Custom Avatar - Free Item Request - Golden Competitor Stamp
Huge congratulations to these wonderful artists and their terrifying incarnations of the Blob! Everyone who participated will also receive one special gift from the Blob. Great work, artists! Those who won a custom Item or (normal custom) Avatar should submit their request here and mention that they are claiming their reward!
The votes have been tallied, and it's time to announce the winners of Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! For this month's Yet to Win MOTM, everyone congratulate...
Thank you for making IcePets a better place! Here are our favourite things about Makah:
- Makah has been an active user in Discord, but also on the site! She has volunteered her time to do free adoptables for all users and even hosts a giveaway for free art to other users. For these reasons I feel like she should receive the MOTM nomination! - Makah has been consistently involved in the community. They have been pushing for conversations, offering fanart, and hosting giveaways. I think they really stand out as a MOTM.
Next up, the winner of the Free for All MOTM, please congratulate...
Thank you for your continuing contributions to our community! Here are our favourite things about Nati:
- Nati has been an exemplary user from the start. She is kind to everyone and is an active presence on the forums. She is absolutely wonderful in every sense. - I'd like to nominate Nati for MOTM! She's consistently a prominent member of the community and is always there to help anyone and everyone!
Both of these fantastic members will receive 100,000 IcePoints and either the exclusive Member of the Month Avatar, or, if they already have it, the Honoured Member Trophy.
While member votes were tallying for MOTM, Staff votes tallied for SOTM, and this month's winner is...
To acknowledge their contributions to the team, we've created the following Item in their honour!
Moogel
As we move into November, new Items can be found in the I.C.E Shop for the duration of the month! Head on over to pick up the new Clover Coin and Black Eyed Pea Salad, along with the returning Ruby Ice Cube. Each of these is priced at 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Members)!
