Rups was obtained around the same time as Akar. I had previously had my eyes on the "Decadal Enchanted Plushies" and being the most favourable pet at the time, spent my savings on obtaining one. (It wasn't much long after this, that I was sent one as a gift). I was searching through forums for a Well Named Pet that could coincide with my new Decadal, not yet having in mind the costume he/she was to wear. Considering the "Moonlight Costume" was bit out dated I was determined to change her/his costume. It was when the "Fat Decadal" was released that I knew what I was looking for. I searched high and low and eventually snapped up a low stated well named non le to be transformed. "Rups" was such a loveable name and it reminded me, coincidently of when your Aunty came over and she would always grab your chubby cheeks (don't ask me why ok).
To date, Rups is a working progress, he doesn't have anything enormously amazing going for him, he's just average and some how I relate.
