what colors can the lab ray turn your pet?

Wed Jun 22, 2005 2:23 pm

I want a Tyrannian Uni, and I already have a uni who is shadow. would it be worth my while to zap her or should I just buy the paint brush?

I know it can turn pets tyrannian, because it turned my shoyru that colour once. But it's very unpredictable; your pet might change species before you get the colour you want. But then again, uni morphing potions are about 10k, and the paint brush is about 350k, I think, so I guess you've just got to pick which'd be cheaper in the long run, to get the pet you want.

If you REALLY want Tyrannian, buy it. The lab ray is extremely unpredictable. I've gone through 6 aishas trying to get an alien one.

Yeah I think I might just do that. still saving for my draik though, it'll be another month or more!

I just got a Tyrannian Bori today, and a Tyrannian Poogle two weeks ago. I guess I should give you some of that Tyrannian luck... :P

But yes, it's completly random- it's actually really odd that I got the same color so quickly.

This is probably a bit of a stupid question but I don't have the lab map yet. If you have more than one pet can you pick which one goes into the lab or is it entirely random amongst all your pets?

You can choose, however the outcome is completely unpredictable.

You have little check/circle boxes under each of your pets, then you click which pet you want to ba zapped and it's done. You can only use the zap once in a day, and for one pet only.

pets can turn any color that's available to them in the list at the rainbow pool.

if you're just going to use the lab for your uni, and that's all, don't get it. just get a green uni morphing potion and a tyrannian paint brush.

lab is very unpredictable, like many other people said. yes, it is possible to geta tyrannian uni, but it's more likely you get a species change than get it painted the color you want.

EDIT: Oh yeah they can't turn royal, heheheh. thanks medusa for pointing that out.

Actually I don't believe all of the colours are available via the Lab Ray. Apparently you cannot get Royal as a colour from the Lab even if the pet being zapped comes in that colour.

Yes, the Lab Ray is unpredicatable, I've have quite a bit of luck getting the colours that I want but I've also been through quite a number of pets and I haven't got all the colours I wanted (eg, MSPP Poogle).

If Tyrannian Uni is your only goal and you don't intend to use the Lab on her ever again then you may be better off buying the paint brush, its got a much greater guarantee!

Thanks for this info. Now I just have to start saving up the NP. :roll:

Also, I don't think you can get Pirate from the lab either, no idea why... there's another colour as well, but I'm afraid its slipped my mind. :oops: I guess they want those colours to be extra special. :)

Royal, Plushie, Pirate and Baby are supposedly not given out by the lab - however a very small number of people have got baby, plushie and even pirate from the lab but I don't think it's supposed to happen and I don't know if those exceptions were quite a long time ago *shrugs*

However if you definitely want a certain pet a certain colour and species and the pb is less than 450k or un-zappable or the mp/tps are expensive you're as well just buying the pb :)

:) I heard that was just a glitch phase.

Snarkie posted a list on Neocolours sometime ago, but sadly the website is down, well the forum anyway.

I can confirm at the very least there was a Plushie colour glitch at one point, its how I got my Plushie Cybunny :)
