Just like the Gyaoppi, this one has multiple pets in 1 that you can choose from. Only this time it's 8 instead of 9. This one plays a lot of music for some reason. Like when you play a game or take it for a walk. It's one of the first virtual pets I've ever owned and I have to say it's definitely the most unique! While I think somethings could be improved on, it's a pretty good multi-pet. I give it a 7 out of 10 on a scale of 1-10. Don't let the name fool you though. It is actually nothing like the gyaoppi and has very different navigations and interface. There are actual different 8 in 1's made with different characters, different animations and different shell designs. Some are called "octopets" or other similar names that imply more than one pet.



Here is a picture of the one I currently own:

Price

When I first purchased one of these at a department store about over a decade ago, they ran for about $12. I am seeing many of the on eBay going for about $10-15+plus shipping which usually ranges from $5-10.
