Chias - Are They Really That Weak? by dragonshark173 |  |
As I have noticed in the chat boards and such, people always say that Chias
are super-weak pushovers, and that is why Lupes eat them. I took some recordings
and thought a lot, and found out this wasn't entirely true. This article will
be about the hidden power of Chias
For one thing I have noticed, is their blubber (no offense). All Chias seem
to have extra fat (again no offense) therefore extra skin. If a Lupe tried to
bite a Chia, all it would be getting was a mouthful of skin, making them difficult
to get a good bite. I have noticed the same thing in the Chinese fighting dog
breed of the Shar-Pei (the wrinkly dogs).
Another thing about Chias, why they keep their eyes 'closed' all the time.
For one thing, they're not really closed. They keep their eyes in slits to protect
them from sharp objects such as knifes and swords. Eyesight is only one vital
thing for a Chia, but they use their other five senses very keenly; so if they
go blind, they can still rely on scent, hearing, and touch.
Everybody wonders, 'What is that mop of hair doing on top of a Chia's head?'
My answer is simple. Notice in all Chias, the hair looks like a bush if seen
from the right place. They can hide in a bush with their hair sticking out.
Why? A Chia's nostrils are located on the top of their head, strangely. They
can scent when a Lupe or any other hungry pet is coming, and when they are leaving
so they know if the coast is clear.
Why are they so brightly coloured, you ask? A-ha, only the male Chias are brightly
coloured to attract females. In the basic pictures NeoPets gives you, they are
all bright. That is because the photos were taken in spring, when the males
are most bright. The easiest ones to spot would be the males, so unfortunately
all the photos are of male Chias. The females blend in very well, and instead
of a bright green like in the pictures, they are a darker evergreen colour to
blend in with trees. The yellow ones are more of a tan, to blend into wheat
fields, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
Why are some shaped like apples and plums and things that are yummy? This is
all in the same category as the one above. Apple Chias blend in PERFECTLY with
an apple tree. Plum Chias blend in PERFECTLY with a plum tree. This way, they
can hide from any hunting Lupes and such. And you also might think: Oooh, apples...
I love apples! And go off trying to eat an apple Chia thinking it will taste
like an apple. Trust me, it won't. If you bite into them, they'll taste bitter,
very hot so they'll make your mouth burn, give you horrible aftertaste, and
sometimes make you come down with a common illness such as Neopia or Bloaty
Belly, and that's no fun at ALL.
So now do you think Chias are the perfect thing to hunt? Think before you do.
Chias are more powerful than you may ever think. SAVE THE CHIAS! *cough* sorry.
Thank you all for reading this!
