Niko's Almond Eye has 372 downloads. It is an official-model conversion with modification, commercial use and redistribution all forbidden, and it imports directly as a .vrm file. What makes it unusual is the expression range: 240 blend shapes in a 3.2 MB download.

Is Almond Eye a good desktop pet?
The Umamusume line is the expression outlier of this batch. Almond Eye carries 240 blend shapes — five times the Genshin models — inside a 3.2 MB file with 30,379 triangles. That is an unusually efficient texture and morph setup.
438 joints gives her the second-highest rig count in the set, which is what drives the ear and hair motion. Only 8 material slots keeps draw calls low, so all that detail stays cheap to render.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Triangles | 30,379 |
| Joints | 438 |
| Blend shapes | 240 |
| Materials | 8 |
| Textures | 6 |
| File size | 3.2 MB |
| VRM spec | 0.0 (UniVRM-0.53.0) |
Verdict: an unusually well-balanced model — high expression range and a strong rig in a 3.2 MB file. One of the best all-round picks here.

What it looks like on your desktop
Her deep purple and white dress balances well on both dark and light wallpapers, so placement is flexible. The ear motion is the detail most people notice first at desktop scale.
Search volume for her is lower than for the front-line Umamusume characters, but supply is just as solid, which makes her a good pick if you want something less common on other people's desktops.
| Setting | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Wallpaper match | Works on both light and dark; the white dress needs some contrast behind it |
| Suggested scale | 30-35% of screen height — the ear motion needs a little room |
| Default placement | Lower-right or lower-left; flexible across themes |
| Running several at once | Good. 8 material slots and 3.2 MB make her easy to pair with another character |

Cool idle presence, on your terms
The Umamusume models in this set are built differently from the game characters: 190 to 240 blend shapes each, against 44 to 66 for the Genshin conversions. That is what lets them idle without repeating the same expression.
Almond Eye sits at the top of that range with 240, and her 438 joints keep the ears moving. She is the pick if a static-looking desktop pet has been bothering you.
