Oh, maybe I get to do a new release thread for the first time? Maybe so.

Looks like we have sea bunnies. (Sprite art: Mysfytt | Description: PKGriffin)

1490: Blue-Ringed Sea Bunny

Egg description:

Spoiler

Element: Neutral

This squishy egg has bright rings to warn potential predators that it is poisonous.

Sea bunnies do not blend in well with any environment, being more brightly colored than even the most vibrant of corals. They move slowly across the sea floor, swimming only when they absolutely must. Luckily, their favorite food -- algae -- moves even slower than they do. Sea bunnies spend a lot of time eating, so much that they don't even fully sleep, but instead take periodic naps throughout the day and night. They are very good at keeping algae at bay, but they can easily overgraze. This happens rarely, owing to the slow rate with with the bunnies reproduce; unlike their land-dwelling namesakes, sea bunnies only lay one egg every few years. No one is sure how long they live as adults.

Male/Female (no dimorphism)
Hatchling description:

Spoiler

Element: Neutral

A small sea bunny is soft to the touch, not covered in fur like their land-dwelling counterparts, but just as delicate. They do not receive any care from their parents, although adults tolerate their presence. The hatchlings gather together in large groups to munch on sea grass and corals. They can survive for brief periods of time on land, though when small, they prefer tide pools and quiet areas of the reef. Blue-ringed sea bunnies have few predators as their noxious poison and frightening pattern are enough to ward off curious seals and fish. The tendrils coating their bodies are more like the tentacles of an anemone than mammal fur; not powerful enough to sting, but able to gum up the mouth of any would-be predator. However, they have few defenses against harsh weather and are sensitive to even the slightest change in water conditions, so finding the appropriate habitat is crucial.

Sea bunnies are a favorite companion of young sea folk as they are among the gentlest of animals. They are not especially shy, and will readily take greens from your hand after sniffing it for a little while. They grow relatively quickly and in the right environment, a simple setup for a pen will do well to keep them happy. However, they are rare sights outside of their native region because of their delicate nature. The only place on the mainland known to hold sea bunnies is the Keep, where they live full-time in special enchanted aquariums designed to perfectly mimic their natural habitats. They don't make particularly useful companions, but they are the subject of much exciting research at the Keep because of their poisonous tissues. They aren't toxic enough to seriously hurt animals that eat them, but it seems their taste is so foul that nothing tries a second time.

Judging by the ear-thingies coming out of the eggs, perhaps nudibranches, the actual factual sea bunny type? Maybe, just maybe, coming out looking like genuine bunnies for our upcoming Easter (to some) holiday?

Edit 1: Yep, true bunny nudibranches. Look super cute.

Edit 2: They're weird to me, but I like them. Love the colors, love that there's dimorphism, like that they're actual hybrid things instead of just sea bunny nudibranches. The Chromodore is by far my favorite. Like the pastel also. Blue-ringed is also okay, just isn't as colorful.

NIce release, Mysfytt/PKGriffin, thank you.

omg sea bunnies!! so excited to see how they'll turn out in their hatchlings and adult forms!!

sea bunniessss!!! i already love the eggs, excited to see the hatchlings & adults

(hoping for some weird nudibranch/real bunny hybrid, but even if it's just nudibranchs they'll still be cute) i already love the colors on them

OMG guys they're adorable
The first is male, next two female so it looks like no dismorphism.

From the general description: "Luckily, their favorite food -- algae -- moves even slower than they do." Having a leaf sheep as avatar I certainly like that.

Note sure about the hatchling sprite, particularly the Chromodore sea bunny looks like a featureless colorful blob at first and second glance (but I am ill right now and my brain is cloudy). Head and antennae are much easier to identify on the other two. Looking forward to see the adults.

Can't wait to see the adults.

Omg they’re adorable. I’m in love!! I was already excited because sea bunnies are pretty cute, but knowing they have bunny faces as well? Excellent.

You may want to fix the images. You don't have the static egg images, you have specific creatures embeded, so it changes as they grow.

Because of what they are, couldn't they have a magical about them or an ability? Nudibranches are mesmerizing, to say the least, so couldn't they have that via... void magical? My all-time favourite is the blue dragon (forget atm what it's actually called). That one's my fave of all time, but also highly poisonous/venomous/toxic. They say that the more vibrant the colour, the more toxic they are. Can't wait to see what our new nudies look like as an adult!

very pretty. n really find the critter they're based on terribly cute as well.
