I know, I know, I'm a virtual pet murderer (that's a murderer of "virtual pets", not someone who strangles hamsters or something sick like that) but I kind of want a NowaNowa. Nowa is a very shy little fairy and she only speaks French. She startles easily so she won't come out unless you speak to her very gently and quietly. If she hears you, she may start moving around in her box but will only dart her head out for a moment and then hide again. Once you've earned her trust, she'll pop out of the box and the lid will stay open. She will speak to you until she senses you're not paying attention (sound detector) and then she'll say "bonne nuit" and go inside her box to sleep. So cute, but somewhat high maintenance, I think.

Pachuppa finger puppets will light up (literally) and kiss you if pressed against your face (or anywhere else too) .

Tokotokopenguins waddle towards sounds while singing and dancing to the beat. He's also mercurial and is just as likely to be pissed off as happy and dancing.

All these virtual pets are at Funkyzilla.
