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 bed 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.- 2012-12-18
