Premium Perk
Premium users can change the species of one of their pets which then has a cooldown of one year. Simply click on the Blumaroo sillouhette with the '?' icon on the premium navigation bar. This will take you to the page where you can select the pet and select the species you'd like to change it into. Be sure to be on the correct pet and correct species as there is no undoing this perk. Then hit the button that says 'Change Species!'.If by chance the species that you chose does not have the color your pet is currently, you will be asked to select a colour as well. All colours are available this way. This is how so many have achieved some of their more difficult goals such as MSP. A common method is to use a Chia pop to morph a Chia pet into a fruit or vegetable (with the exeption of Strawberry as other species can be this color). Then, you are free to select a species and a colour of your choice.
With a little detective work you might be able to find a cheaper way if you are going for a specific pet and colour. Use our Rainbow Pool and select the species you will be changing into. Then look at what colors that species is not available in (listed at the bottom of the page). You can use our Paint Brush Price Guide then to see what the cheapest option available is. After you figure that out, paint your current pet that color and then when you change its species, you will be able to select any color.
When you hit "Change Species", it will then give you a prompt asking if you are sure. You can back out at this point, or say "Yes, Lets do it" to change your pet. You are only able to do this once every 365 days. After that the blumaroo button is grayed out on the premium bar until you are able to use the perk again.

Battledome Items
Kacheek Flour
Kacheek Flour is a species-specific item, this means all pets can equip the item, but only Kacheeks can use it. Kacheek Flour is fragile and may break (disappear) after use.
Kacheek Flour may turn your pet into a Blue Kacheek when used by your opponent in the Battledome. The best method for using Kacheek Flour: Equip your pet with the flour, making sure it's in the first weapon slot. Enter a two-player fight with a Kacheek that has a stealer (example: Purple Sticky Hand) equipped. During the battle, the Kacheek should use the stealer and steal your Flour. The Kacheek should use the Flour on your pet. With this method, the Flour generally will return to your equipment when the battle is complete. If you use the Flour yourself, it will disappear, and this item is quite expensive! It may take several turns for the stealer to work, and several battles for the Kacheek Flour to work, so be patient.
Chia Flour
Chia Flour is a one-use Battledome item that turns the opponent's pet into a Yellow Chia. The item can be used by all pets and on all pets. After this one time use, the item disappears forever.
Please do not use these items in the battledome without your opponent's consent!
Where can I get these items?
Kacheek Flour is rare (r99) but may restock at Battle Magic. Chia Flour used to be a Hidden Tower item but is now retired. Both items can occasionally be purchased through Auctions or Trading Post.
