Create a Pet (Monthly Contest)

This month, LEGO Universe is offering contests, Free-To-Play, and more. So to kick off August, Lego Universe is having a building contest!

You may ask, WHAT is this contest? WHO is holding it? Or WHEN will it start/end? Well, I'll answer those questions.

FIRST, let's look at the WHAT factor. This contest is a building contest. All you have to do is build a pet that would look good in LEGO Universe. You'll need to make it in proportion to a minifigure. You'll have to follow the rules below. The winner will win his/her pet IN GAME!!!!

Now for the WHO part. Well, that is SUPER simple! DUH! LEGO Universe is holding the contest or the winner would not get his/her pet put in game! :P

OK. The WHEN question should be easy.  What is today? Oh yea, August 4th! And I am posting about this contest, aren't I? So, the contest STARTS today, August 4th, 2011, and ENDS August 31, 2011. It is an ALL month long contest.

So, there are a few rules:

1. You must use the official body structure.

2. You can not use more than 50 bricks. 

3. You pet's head and tail cannon drag on the ground. And they need to be in proportion. Bonus points go to the pets that are balanced enough to stand up on
 their hind legs when built with real LEGO bricks! Seriously!

 4. Your pet MUST have 4 legs. It's the standard of Lego Universe. So don't make a fish! :P AND yo must follow the official pet legs. There is a picture on the left.

5. You must build a taming model to go along with your pet (used to create the taming puzzles found in-game). An example of this is the carrot players are asked to build when they tame a bunny rabbit. Using brick measurements, this taming model must fit in an 8x8x8 square.
• If you build a Pegasus, for example, create a taming model of a fluffy cloud! If you build a chimpanzee, make its taming model a banana! You get the idea.

6. Do NOT be a copy-cat! I mean really! What if everyone built a cat? There would be no fun in the whole contest! (But I know MrPancake isn't building a cat. :D )




So there you have it. For more information and the complete rules go to LegoUniverse.com!

P.S. Hey, can I submit a "Pet Brick"?
