Some of Terrafrost's spookiest Pets got a new makeover -- and just in time for the end of Phantasmoire! Take a moment to admire the Skeletal Ori, Skeletal Ridix, Skeletal Wulfer, Skeletal Cobron, Skeletal Jakrit, Skeletal Trido, and the Skeletal Krittle's fancy new look. Not a single Skeletal Pet was left out from this massive revamp!





All of the respective Morphing Potions have gotten an update to match as well as the Skeletal Snow Jar. If you'd like one for yourself, you can, as always, find them at the Snow Jar Igloo year round. If you're in a rush however you can also find them in the I.C.E Shop for 500 Ice Cash or 450 Ice Cash for Gold Account until the end of November.



The Skeletal Snow Jar Ice Cube and Skeletal Snow Jar Plush have also received a touch up to match the new design. The Skeletal Snow Jar Ice Cube can still be made in the Ice Box, while the Snow Jar Skeletal Plush has a home in Plushie Palace if you still need them to complete any collection goals!

This new Pet is truly out of this world! The Space Krittle, funded by @MarkiArts, has left its home planet and settled down on Terrafrost for good. So if you're eager for some adventures from Meteora to the furthest tip of the galaxy, you'll want this lovable Pet by your side!



If you're interested in the new Space Krittle, you'll want to pick up a Space Krittle Morphing Potion at the Quest Store. It's just 500 Quest Points! Additionally, you can find this Morphing Potion at the I.C.E Shop until the end of November. It'll cost you 500 Ice Cash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Accounts.)



We'd also like to introduce the new Dark Fairy Plush, funded by @Voermina! It's the perfect plush for Pets who love fairies, but also have a little bit of a dark side. It'll be restocking in the Plushie Palace and rewarded by the Book Quest from here on out. A week from today, the Plushie Quest will begin asking for it as well.



As we near the end of October, we're also quickly approaching the end of Phantasmoire. After October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, the following activities will be closing up for the season:

- Haunting
- Restocking of Phantasmoire Morphing Potions
- The Beauty King's free yearly Phantasmoire Morphing offer
- Grave Digger
- Restocking of the Sentient Present
- The Phantasmoire Ghosts
- The reduced cooldown times between Haunted House visits

You still have a few days to enjoy these activities, so make the most of them while you can! By the way, the cooldowns between Haunted House visits will be shortened to one hour on October 31st only, so be sure to stop by that day.



Finally, we'd like to remind everyone to cast their vote in the Phantasmoire Spooky Story Contest! Head on over to the Contest Page to vote for the story that gives you goosebumps.

There's something magical in the air today -- or is that just the new Fairy Lugra? This beautiful new Pet is now calling Terrafrost its home, so be sure to give it a warm welcome! These Lugrae are as sweet and affectionate as they come. They can also be little tricksters from time to time, so they'll keep you on your toes.



Want to make this new magical Pet a part of your family? Luckily for you, we'll be selling the Fairy Lugra Morphing Potion at the I.C.E Shop until the end of November. That means you'll have a whole lot of time to snatch one up! They're just 500 Ice Cash, or 450 Ice Cash for Gold Accounts. Additionally, they'll be restocking at the Snow Jar Igloo from now on!

Are your extra IcePoints weighing down your pockets? Luckily for you, we're about to introduce some brand new Items funded by our community, so you have the perfect excuse to do some shopping!

First up is the Fairy Freakshake, which was funded by @LollyX. It's a magical, tooth-rotting treat that will have any Pet jumping for joy! (Or maybe that's just the sugar rush.) For those looking for something a little less sweet, be sure to check out the Drink of Divinity, funded by @Travis! These fancy drinks are often saved for only the most special occasions.

You can find both at Affogato or get it as a reward from the Snowman Quest. A week from today, the Candy Quest will also start asking for them.



And if you'd like something cute to wear while you enjoy your Freakshake, you may enjoy the Ice Princess Costume, funded by @IcePrincess. It's the perfect outfit for your Pets who love being treated like a princess. You can find it at the Grooming Parlour!



And if you're hoping to expand your Plushie collection, you may enjoy these new Items funded by @tae. The Rusted Grappling Hook Plush, Copper Grappling Hook Plush, and the Silver Grappling Hook Plush are essential for Plushie collectors around Terrafrost. You can buy them at the Plushie Palace or receive them as a reward from the Book Quest. Additionally, the Plushie Quest will be requesting them a week from today, so you'll want to stock up on a couple of extras.



Finally, the Midnight Profile Skin has gotten a a makeover! So if you'd like your profile to have all the aesthetic of a peaceful starry midnight, consider checking it out. It's a default profile skin, so you'll already have it in your collection.

If you haven't gotten your hands on the Sentient Present yet, now's your chance! This openable Item will be restocking at all shops (except for Port Rakor and the Snow Jar Igloo) until October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. You can get one of several Phantasmoire-themed Items in this gift box, so it's the perfect way to get in the spooky spirit!



Starting today, a new Grave Digger will be starting every 15 minutes. That means you'll have even more chances to dig up some cool prizes! The game will be closing at the end of October, so be sure to make the most of it while you still can.

Over the past few days, high amounts of paranormal activity have been reported around Terrafrost. In other words, the ghosts of Terrafrost have awakened to celebrate Phantasmoire!

No need to fear these ghosts, though -- they're as friendly as they come. And when you encounter one, you'll get the opportunity to "trick" or "treat", which could result in a fun prize! These ghosts speak in ancient spooky tongues that only Phantasmoire Pets can understand, so unless you have a Pet with that colour, they may be too shy to approach you. Keep an eye out for the next few weeks, because they ghosts will be going back into hibernation on October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.



Ghosts are a little introverted, so there's a limit to how many you'll see in one day -- unless you have the Ouija Board. This tool can reset the counter and allow you to chat with even more ghosts! Stop by the I.C.E Shop if you'd like to pick one up. They're just 150 IceCash (135 for Gold Accounts), which is a pretty good steal!

Dyr has finished up the final round of freshening up over at Port Rakor! Head on over to check out the updated stock. These Items will be replacing old Port Rakor Items, so if you're curious, you can check the Icepets Change Log to see what's been replaced with what.




Weapon collectors are in for a treat! The Aterum Helmet, Aterum Shield, Aterum Chest Plate, Aterum Gauntlets, Trick Doubloon and the Terrafrost Sceptre are now all available at Port Rakor.



Looking to restock your library? You'll love these new Port Rakor exclusive finds. The Legend of the Bloodstone, Artifacts of the Past, and The Legend of Port Rakor are all ready for your Pets to read and enjoy!




And if you're hoping to indulge in some upscale fashion, you may want to consider buying the Spy Contact Lenses, Mystical Magic Mirror, Long Lost Necklace, Invisibility Cloak, and the Potent Lucky Perfume!





Got some Tokens on your hands? The Phantasmoire Token Booth Items will be swapping out today, so now's the time to spend them! Head on over to the Token Booth if you want to purchase the returning Scared Black Cat Plush, Phantasmoire Dovu Wrappings, and Pawbert, as well as the new Kritula.

Snatch 'em up while you can, because on October 16th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, they'll be switched out for a new batch of Items.

Time to dust off your typewriters, because we're hosting a Spooky Story Contest! So if you've been hoping to let your creativity shine, now's a better opportunity than ever.



Try to leave any fluff out of your story, however, because all submissions must be 100 words or less. We want to keep this contest short, sweet, and simple! Also, your story does not necessarily need to take place in Terrafrost, but it still must be site-appropriate (keep it PG-13!)



Before you start writing, be sure to read the contest rules:

Rule 1 - Work must be entirely your own.
Rule 2 - One entry per User.
Rule 3 - Feel free to get creative! You can use existing IcePets concepts or create your own, but it must fit the spooky theme.
Rule 4 -Your submission cannot be something that already exists on the site. This includes - and is not limited to - Book content, item descriptions, news posts, or other written content.
Rule 5 - Your submission cannot be identical to other existing works or ideas outside of IcePets; you may make references with your story, but it cannot be a direct copy.
Rule 6 - The story must be kept PG-13. For example, you may include mild violence, but not descriptive gore or brutality, etc. All entries submitted must be considered appropriate under the Terms and Conditions of IcePets.
Rule 7 - Keep your entries private and please don't share with other Users!
Rule 8 - Staff reserve the right to dismiss a submission if it is hard to view or appears no work was involved.
Rule 9 - Your entry must be uploaded and sent to IcePrincess by October 20th, 23:59:59 IcePets time.



Now that we've covered the rules, here are all of the prizes you can potentially win!

First Place: A Gold Contestant Trophy, a Golden Competitor Stamp, a Phantasmoire Snow Jar, a Pet Ghost Costume Item of your choice, 200,000 IcePoints, and a copy of the new Book item once released.
Second Place: A Silver Contestant Trophy, a Random Ghost Costume, a Phantasmoire Snow Jar, 175,000 iP, and a copy of the new Book item once released.
Third Place: A Bronze Contestant Trophy, a random Ghost Costume, a Phantasmoire Snow Jar, 100,000 iP, and a copy of the new Book item once released.
All Participants: A full Haunting Treat Bag.

So, are you ready to express your creative writing skills? Now's the time to start brainstorming some spooky ideas!





Time to bundle up, because you'll want to do some Snowman Questing this weekend! From today until October 9th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, the opportunities and prizes for the Snowman Quest will be doubled!

Starting today, all Phantasmoire Morphing Potions (except for the Xephyr and Jakrit) as well as the Phantasmoire Snow Jar will be restocking at the Snow Jar Igloo! Remember that only Phantasmoire Pets can participate in Haunting, so now's your chance to morph some Pets and join in on the spooky fun.



In addition, the Phantasmoire Snow Jar will be for sale at the I.C.E Shop for 1000 IceCash (900 for Gold Accounts). Consider stopping by if you're having trouble snatching one up at the Snow Jar Igloo! It'll be available all month, so you'll have plenty of time to save up your Ice Cash if you don't have enough for it yet.

The temperatures are dropping, the days are getting shorter, and the smell of crisp leaves fills the air. That can only mean one thing -- Phantasmoire season has begun! There are a lot of fun things on the way, so buckle up!



Today, Phantasmoire's haunting activity will commence. Users with at least one Phantasmoire Coloured Pet can equip them with a Haunting Treat Bag. Then, you can visit other Users' doorsteps to get some free treats. This means you can also start stocking your own doorstep. Consider stopping by Sugar Rush, Affogato, or the Glacial Grocer to pick up some food. Once you have some goodies you can visit your profile and click the Add food to Doorstep link. Haunters like sweets, savory, and all other foods equally!



Where can you get a Haunting Treat Bag, you might be wondering? You can find them randomly restocking at all Shops (except for Port Rakor and the Snow Jar Igloo) until the end of October. So keep an eye out for those if you want to get in on the fun!



Don't have a Phantasmoire Pet? Don't fret -- as always, the generous Beauty King is offering to morph one of every User's Pets for free. So even if you can't get your hands on a Phantasmoire Snow Jar, you can still take your Pet on a Haunting trip.



Just like last year, we'll also be offering trophies for Users who stock an impressive amount of food on their doorsteps. As you stock more food, your Trophy will upgrade to a higher ranking. This Trophy will be cumulative throughout the years.



Feeling brave? Starting today, you can visit the Haunted House every three hours rather than the usual six. This means you'll have more chances than ever to find some cool prizes -- you may even find some unique seasonal Items...





Finally, the Token Booth will be offering three returning Phantasmoire-themed Items -- the Empty Grave Stamp, Candy Corn Cupcake,and Blob Coin as well as the totally new Zombie's Breath! They'll stick around until October 9th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, and then switch out for another batch of festive Items.

So, are you ready for a month of spooky celebration? We hope you are, because the fun has only just begun!
