Title: Can a Pleo actually 'DIE'?
Post by: Stalvros on July 21, 2011, 03:39:40 AM: I've read somewhere in the web that Pleo can DIE!
Like..... really DIE in a sense that if you mistreat it,
it won't activate anymore.

I saw this video earlier;

(Very disturbing video I must say >_<)

One of the comment says;
YOU KILLED PLEO! YOU DON'T EVEN GIVE HIM A NAME! YOU WASTED YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D:<

So what happen to that Pleo now?
You mean it's REALLY dead? As in the dude really wasted his money?
It can't be fixed anymore or even reset?

I dunno why, but I find that fascinating.

But yeah, Pleos can be remarkably hardy little dinosaurs. Just check out RWM's Humpty! That little guy fell out of a tree and broke in two, but was still functional (To a certain degree...he at least did stuff when she switched him on).

lol just curious becuase I use my pleo a TON.

Post by: Crewella on July 23, 2011, 04:00:49 AM: Other than the general point of wear and tear over time that applies to all things, Pleos pretty much protect themselves so as long as you're not rough with her, and I'm quite sure you're not, don't worry. They shut down if they get too hot, and many skin problems reported seem to have happened even when the Pleo was not being used. Just enjoy your Pleo! :D
