Grotesqueries
So, as many people know, horror is my special interest, and I'm kind of obnoxious about it. I promise it's not on purpose lol. So I decided I should have a separate page to highlight my spooky Petz! They're also on the other hexie crew pages, but they're here too 'cuz they're special. Thank you so much to all of the hexers who have fueled my weird obsession with creepy stuff.

I got this pretty lady from a PCG hex swap when I was... 12? That can't be right. I'm sure the date is off. Anyway, I dug her up out of my depths of my email in 2024 while searching for old hex files of my own and DAYUMN. How could I forget about this old girl!? Look! Look at the eyeball! Might this be the platonic ideal of hexies? I think it must be.
Bambi

There's no interesting backstory here, but I like to think he's pretty cool. Instead of a little story, I'll leave you with this fun fact: the alien from Alien 3 was originally a whippet in a costume, which is maybe my favorite piece of horror trivia ever.

Lex and I both participated in a hexing challenge in Hexers' HQ: hexing a poodle without removing any of the haircut. I made a banana split poodle and she made this, which honestly could whip my poodle's ass. I don't say this in a self-deprecating way; Cthoodle is just *so cool.*
Hell Cat
From Amradel

The world's cutest demon! I recieved him in an RKC Halloween swap. I might be biased, but I think a meezer base was perfect for him. They always look so angry. I'm enamored with his name, too. Like, yeah, that sure is a Hell cat! Look at him, he's even got a devil tail.

I wasn't sure how I wanted to have this lovely fox customized when I traded for it, so Winter/simplearcticfoxes offered to make it horror-themed, which was the point at which I realized I have a little bit of a reputation lol. We couldn't get all her textures to work in the end, but she's rockin' the pink snout. It's fine.
Onryo
From me
2.17.2024
Maybe the most ambitious thing I've ever hexed- I had to keep one for myself. It was all a bit of a haze ... Anyway, she's named after a type of vengeful spirit in Japanese folklore. Think of the 'white dress and long black hair' thing.
Poltergeist
From Megan @ Xoops
12.16.2023
Eee Poltergeist!! I wasn't able to get a Ghoshie when Megan had them up on PUGS, so I spent a couple months silently moping around and wishing I had one of these lil guys but being too shy to ask for a trade. When the WhiskerWick Stocking Stuffer event rolled around, I was delighted to find Poltergeist in my stocking! The day is saved! 💖👻
Ramona
From Dew @ Insanity

Ah, Dew, my sister in spooky hexies! I got this lil lady from her fall festival booth at Duke's Group as a reward for lightly brexing Labcat. She's perfectly Halloweeny; I love her vibe to bits! She's like something you'd see in a decked-out front lawn during the spooky season.
Retribution
From me
2.13.2024
This guy is only loosely horror-based, but I'm counting him because technically his file was inspired by the Saw series, I guess? Actually, it's a long story, but he does have the Saw vibe. I only adopted him to take archive pix but I couldn't resist keeping him when I noticed he was a trotter. I think his name is pretty cool, too, if I may say so myself.
Sadako
From me
11.18.2023
She's Sadako. She's a meezer. What else is there to say? Oh yeah, she does tricks. I'm thinking if I wish hard enough that she'll crawl out of my screen like her namesake and we can hang out. I'll get back to you on that.
Salami Face
From me
1.23.2024
The result of hexing so intensely that I gave myself nerve pain. I think I really peaked with her. She was originally just named The Thing, but Bard (who'd cheered me on during the process) nicknamed her Salami Face, so of course I had to change it.
Snaggle
From Sharon
10.3.2023
AWOOOOOO!!! I missed the sale for these on WhiskerWick, so Sharon and I traded, and I'm SO GLAD I reached out because look At him. Snaggle is a huge goof and super fun to put in different hats cuz his big ol' head makes them all huge. He's the perfect wolfy boye and I love him very very much.
Tartarus
From LunarLex
10.9.2023
Another Fall Festival pet! This time it was the luck of the draw, and I didn't even realize I'd won them at first- Lex had to DM me and be like "dude do you like... want that tabby or". AND I DID. THEY'RE PERFECT. All three of them! Cerberus as a cat is a very fun concept in general.
Tinsel Terror
From nalamittenz
11.14.2023
I would not have guessed there would be Petz like these at the Duke's Group Advent, but I'm beyond delighted that there were! Truly the coolest beast ever. The eye is made so that it's always looking at the player at any given time, which is awesome, and I'm seriously in awe of how long the whole thing must have taken to make. I'd never have the patience!
Uzumaki
From me
1.26.2023
Inspired by perhaps one of the most famous horror manga ever (not that I'm an expert). Technically Uzumaki is about spirals, but I didn't know how to make spirals yet when I made it, and I think I still captured the vibe alright. The tail's a spiral. It's fine.
VHS
From Sharon
2.5.2024
I'd been going through old messages in a Petzy friends server and admiring a BWS file of Sharon's that I forgot about but was too shy to ask for a custom of. Out of nowhere the next day she messaged me and asked if I wanted the file to mess around with! I was thrilled, of course. VHS was inspired by The Ring, of course, since I'm deep in the hyperfixation trenches.
Witchy
From CatCreature
10.5.2013
Another hexie from the RKC Halloween swap. Lily did something adorable with this one- the left and right eyes are switched, meaning that instead of doing the relaxed dali expression, he glares at the player. So cute! So angry!!
