Icepets
Icepets is a new virtual pet site, where users can adopt up to four pets of various species. Icepets was created in 2009, and is run by Michael Cullen and Joseph Roethig. Users can talk on forums, message each other through "Icemail" (an email like messaging system) and play flash games. Users can also participate in Quests and start Collections. Users can make their own shops for items collected from shops and quests.

Pets
The original set of pets included: Audril, Ori, Sharshel, Ridix and Wulfer. Pets come in four basic colors: Red, Yellow, Blue and Green. Snow Jars can be used to change the color of a pet.

Audril The Audril looks something like a mandrill in the face, but has a body shape, more in line with a gorilla.

Ori Oris are owl-like pets. Like real owls, Oris are nocturnal.

Sharshel The Sharshel is a lizard-like pet. On it's back is a shell, like that of a turtle, with a fin. Sharshels have webbed hands and feet, due to the fact that they are aquatic pets.

Ridix The Ridix resembles a leopard, only with much shorter legs.

Wulfer The Wulfer, as the name suggests, is a canine pet, that looks a little bit like a cuddly wolf.

Traptur Trapturs appear to be modeled after raptor type dinosaurs, such as the T-Rex. However, they have small wings, and head feathers. Trapturs will be released for the opening 24 hours, Friday, March 5th, 2010.

Snow Jars
Snow Jars are used to color your pet. These jars can be found at the Snow Jar Igloo on Snowslide Mountain. Snow jars come in the basic four colors: Red, Yellow, Blue and Green. They also come in Grey, Orange, Pink, Purple, White, Storm, Black and Skeletal.

Currently, Black and Skeletal snow jars are released, but pets are not able to be painted in these colors. The only pets available in Storm are Oris, and Trapturs.

Collections

 Stamps , once added to your album, are separated into five different categories. Food, Misty Isle, Snowslide Mountains, Toys and Pets. All stamps can be found in the Stamp Shop in Glacies.

These "hidden" avatars, are available through quests, playing the games, There are 11 default avatars, which include the five original pets available.
