==Unreleased pets==
The term "special release" encompasses a few different types of pets. The common theme between all of them is that they employ an unusual release method, and tend to be quite unlikely for the average user to receive for free from their regular participation in the site activities. This leads to a tendency for special release pets to be quite valuable.
===What does "Unreleased/UR" mean?===
Most pets are made available for a limited time, where users can adopt a random selection of a litter or outcomes. However, there are a few pets which are very special, and never get this normal release. Rather, they are created by random chance during other events. The typical unreleased (UR) pet is one which can only be obtained by very slight random chance by adopting from the advent calendar on December 18th. At no other time do these pets become available, which means they tend to be quite rare.  


The other type of pet which is loosely considered "Unreleased" are the 2009 Zebras, and the White Malk dragon. They, in addition to being released on December 18th, have/had an extremely small chance of being adopted with monthly pets. The white Malk dragon had a small chance to be adopted with the monthly Malk pets, but with Malk's retirement the dragon is no longer released with monthly adopts. Zebras however still have a very small chance of coming out in monthly litters when you adopt the horses.
=Unreleased pets=
Most pets are made available for a limited time, where users can adopt a random selection of a litter or outcomes. However, there are a few pets which are very special, and never get this normal release. Rather, they are created by random chance during other events. The typical unreleased (often called UR) pet is one which can only be obtained by very slight random chance by adopting from the advent calendar on December 18th. At no other time do these pets become available, which means they tend to be quite rare.
==How to Get a UR Pet==
The only time you can adopt an "Unreleased/UR" pet is on the 18th of December. There is a random chance that you might get one of these pets, out of several other hundred pets being released from the same box, and you are only allowed to adopt three pets from the box. This makes the UR pets quite valuable.


===My Rerelease is Dated 19th/24th December===
==UR Release Dates==
December 18th has been an important event on Chicken Smoothie for a long time. Due to their unique method of release, the unreleased pets have only been available on these dates (assuming they had been created at that point in time).


In 2009 the website went down for a large part of the day, resulting in people not being able to adopt. The box was extended until the 19th but those who did adopt on the 18th could not adopt again!
<blockquote><blockquote><ul>
<li>2008-12-18
<li>2009-12-18 ; 2009-12-19
:<div style="font-size:80%"><i>In 2009 the website went down for a large part of the day, resulting in people not being able to adopt. The box was extended until the 19th but those who did adopt on the 18th could not adopt again!</i></div>

:<div style="font-size:80%"><i>There was a miscalculation on December 18th in 2011, so  a second box was available on the 24th to make sure the proper amount of pets were released. Users who adopted the first box could still take form the second one.</i></div>

<li>2020-12-18</li>
<li>2021-12-18</li>
<li>2022-12-18</li>
</ul></blockquote></blockquote>


In 2011 a miscalculation was made about how many people would come online to adopt the box, resulting in almost no older pets, but only much newer and less rare pets to be released. To offset this mistake and bring more pets into circulation, another rerelease was held on 24th of December!

The "Skelebun" and "Orange Cerberus" store pets accidentally got rereleased once, but none have ever been in the rerelease box since that time. It was a mistake, and there are no plans to ever rerelease store pets as they are sold with the expectation of never being released again.

<blockquote><blockquote><i><div style="font-size:80%">The Malk dog came from a separate box originally, but was still released via the unreleased mechanic, just among a collection of Malk Pets. Future years the dog came from the regular box with all the other pets.</div></i></blockquote></blockquote>
The 4 pets below made their first appearance in 2008 on the 18th of December. They have been also been re-released during the 2009 and 2010 Advent Calendars. The banana and the UR Cat were originally custom pets owned by just a few members. When released in the advent, some users deleted the banana pets believing them to be worthless, but later the rarity was revealed to be 'OMG so rare!'

===How do I get an "Unreleased/UR" pet and how rare are they?===
The only time you can adopt an "Unreleased/UR" pet is on the 18th of December. There is a random chance that you might get one of these pets, out of several other hundred pets being released from the same box, and you are only allowed to adopt from this box twice. This makes the rarity of the "Unreleased/UR" pets 'Very Rare' and 'OMG So Rare'. They are highly sought after, and are very popular, making them quite difficult to trade for.

==The Zebras==
===How do I get a Zebra?===
While Equimagine's lines were still being released in 2009 and 2010, there was a small chance you could get a Zebra from all the horseshoes she released. All you had to do was adopt her pets and hope you were lucky enough to get one and this system is still used with Yulynh's Horses and Ponies. Users had a 1 in 40,000 chance of getting a Zebra, and they are, collectively, the rarest pets on Chicken Smoothie. The Zebras are released this way because Zebras are Tess' favorite animal, and she wants to keep them extra special. Since the retirement of Equimagine's lines, and the arrival of Yulynh's new lines, the Zebras are only being released intermittently. They have not been retired and are not under the "Unreleased/UR" class.


On June 1st 2010, there was a mix-up with the way Zebras were released, and there was a 7% higher chance of getting a Zebra. This was rectified after about 10 minutes, but there were about 14 extra Zebras adopted that month. This [i]slightly[/i] lowered the overall rarity of the Mountains Zebra, which is the more common of the 3 Zebras. Although this isn't the only reason, the Mountains Zebra has had several rarity changes over the 2010 Advent Calendar, going down from OMG So Rare to Very Rare, then back up again. You can see all the fluctuations in the Rarity Changes Archive linked at the bottom of the thread

There are 3 Zebras. The Mountains Zebra, being the most common (but still rarer than the rarest dog), the Grevy's Zebra, and then the Mountains Zebra. And last, but by no means least, is the Plains Zebra, the rarest of the 3. I created the chart below so you can easily distinguish between them :)

=The Zebras=
Zebras have a very special history on the site. In 2009 and 2010, there was a small chance that a user may receive a zebra in place of one of their regular horse or pony adopts, when users went to claim their free monthly adoptables. After the site's first horse artist, equimagine, retired at the end of 2010 the zebra releases were also brought to an end about a year later. That was until 2014, when the line art of these pets was redone by a new artist, and zebras returned to their unusual release pattern.

=Malk Dragons=
While Malk was an official artist on the site, their adoptables came from their own box on the adoption page. Similar to the zebras' rare appearances in the equine adopts, Malk created a few different dragons that would become available in her own monthly pets. Each color was available only briefly, and by random chance, before a new color would take its place in the algorithm. By the end of 2010 Malk stepped back a bit from their position, and the dragons were retired along with the consistency of Malk pet releases.
 
Although the dragons are now officially retired, they are still available by random chance on December 18th, in the regular rerelease box like any other pet from the past.

Latest revision as of 00:02, 8 August 2023

The term "special release" encompasses a few different types of pets. The common theme between all of them is that they employ an unusual release method, and tend to be quite unlikely for the average user to receive for free from their regular participation in the site activities. This leads to a tendency for special release pets to be quite valuable.

Unreleased pets

Most pets are made available for a limited time, where users can adopt a random selection of a litter or outcomes. However, there are a few pets which are very special, and never get this normal release. Rather, they are created by random chance during other events. The typical unreleased (often called UR) pet is one which can only be obtained by very slight random chance by adopting from the advent calendar on December 18th. At no other time do these pets become available, which means they tend to be quite rare.

How to Get a UR Pet

The only time you can adopt an "Unreleased/UR" pet is on the 18th of December. There is a random chance that you might get one of these pets, out of several other hundred pets being released from the same box, and you are only allowed to adopt three pets from the box. This makes the UR pets quite valuable.

UR Release Dates

December 18th has been an important event on Chicken Smoothie for a long time. Due to their unique method of release, the unreleased pets have only been available on these dates (assuming they had been created at that point in time).

  • 2008-12-18
  • 2009-12-18 ; 2009-12-19
    In 2009 the website went down for a large part of the day, resulting in people not being able to adopt. The box was extended until the 19th but those who did adopt on the 18th could not adopt again!
  • 2010-12-18
  • 2011-12-18 ; 2011-12-24
    There was a miscalculation on December 18th in 2011, so a second box was available on the 24th to make sure the proper amount of pets were released. Users who adopted the first box could still take form the second one.

The Malk dog came from a separate box originally, but was still released via the unreleased mechanic, just among a collection of Malk Pets. Future years the dog came from the regular box with all the other pets.

Malk Dragons

While Malk was an official artist on the site, their adoptables came from their own box on the adoption page. Similar to the zebras' rare appearances in the equine adopts, Malk created a few different dragons that would become available in her own monthly pets. Each color was available only briefly, and by random chance, before a new color would take its place in the algorithm. By the end of 2010 Malk stepped back a bit from their position, and the dragons were retired along with the consistency of Malk pet releases.

Although the dragons are now officially retired, they are still available by random chance on December 18th, in the regular rerelease box like any other pet from the past.
