Members who are using the HA Buddy items on their avatars will need to unequip, and reequip the items in order for the new look to refresh.
Crybaby Ghost will appear in the Battle Center for the remainder of October and will then retire.

Greetings Fanlings,
It was recently brought to our attention that Crybaby Ghost, the October Battle Center design, drew heavy inspiration from another artist's original character design.
The designer has subsequently been banned, and the Goatling design and additional items will be replaced very soon, as was the case with Graveyard Groom and Botanist.
While this design may not have been stolen from a large corporation or company, and it was submitted to the Battle Center, the point remains that it was stolen and submitted with the Diamond Dust disclaimer with no consideration to how disrespectful it was towards the original designer or the staff who would have to clean up behind them. Given the fact that we very recently outlined that we do not allow design theft, and that this is the busiest time of the year for us on staff, this has been a doubly painful blow.
Due to the repetition of these incidents, Goatlings.com will no longer be accepting user submissions for Diamond Dust shop designs for the foreseeable future. All Diamond Dust shop designs will be provided by staff members only. We are disappointed to take a privilege away from our users - especially a core component of our site - and painfully aware this may lead to longer wait times or smaller amounts of content due to the additional workload this adds to our team, but in order to preserve the safety of our future we've been left with no other choice.
Other events such as the monthly Design-A-Goatling contest, Battle Center, and Token Game will still accept user submissions for the time being. When the next Monster Masquerade season rolls around, we'll re-evaluate the situation, but we retain the right to revoke user submission privileges at any point we feel necessary.
Please respect other people's work, and please have the confidence in your own skills to make your own, original designs.
Thank you for understanding and we hope you'll look forward to the revised Crybaby Ghost.
Additionally, since the design belongs to someone else's original character, we humbly ask members not to speculate publicly out of respect for their privacy.
Thank you.
