[[Image:Great_Desert1.gif|frame|right|Several Neopets - clockwise from top, a [[Bruce]], and [[Aisha]], a [[Lupe]] and an [[Ixi]]. Also present is a [[Petpet]]. ]]
A '''Neopet''' (from [[wikipedia:Ancient Greek|Ancient Greek]] ''[[wiktionary:νέος|νέος]]'' meaning "new", and "pet") is any one of 54 [[wikipedia:sentience|sentient]], [[wikipedia:sapience|sapient]] species of a virtual animals yet discovered to inhabit the world of [[Neopia]].

Players on the [[Neopets]] website can adopt, raise, and play with these creatures. While different types of Neopets are classified into different species, the Neopet community is not divided amongst species boundaries. They are capable of [[NeoHome|home building]], operating a [[wikipedia:market economy|market economy]] with [[Neopoints|currency]], building and utilising tools and technologies of a range of complexity, and complex social interaction. Neopets enjoy [[art gallery|art]], [[Altador Cup|sports]] and [[battledome|physical competition]], and [[games|play]].

==Biology==
[[Image:127.gif|left|frame|Painting can make aesthetic differences...]]
Neopets are categorised into 54 different species. While the word ''species'' usually defines a group whose members can breed with each other to produce fertile offspring, different species of Neopets have been shown to have families with each other. Neopet species often varies wildly within a biological family (as ''Neovian Genealogy'' notes, "[[Skeith]] plus [[Zafara]] equals... [[Ixi]]?"). Any given Neopet may change into a different species through exposure to certain [[Morphing Potion|potions]], magical [[plushie]]s, or the [[Lab Ray]] while retaining the same essential identity. All species have two sexes.

The form of any given Neopet can change due to what [[colour]] it is painted. These changes can be as small as re-colouring a [[red]] Neopet [[blue]] to drastically changing a Neopet's biology - they may [[faerie (colour)|gain wings]], [[Maraquan|become aquatic]], or even [[robot|forgo organic bodies entirely]]. Except for the [[Grundo]], who can also begin as [[brown]], [[purple]], or [[white]], all Neopets begin coloured [[red]], [[blue]], [[yellow]], or [[green]]. Counterintuitively, Neopets do not begin life coloured as [[baby|babies]].

The primary means of altering a Neopet's colour is at the [[Rainbow Pool]] in [[Neopia Central]] with a [[paint brush]] or through the Lab Ray.

[[Image:Caption 404.gif|right|frame|... or radically alter a Neopet's form.]]Most new Neopets come into existence when a player creates them using the [[Create-a-Pet]] feature. However, some species have been shown to hatch from eggs - the [[Draik]] - or metamorphose from a different creature - a [[Krawk (Petpet)|Krawk]] [[petpet]] into a [[Krawk]] Neopet.

Neopets are vulnerable to a variety of [[disease]]s and some species are allergic to certain foods (for example, [[Kyrii]]s get Itchy Scratchies from anything with apple in it). Other species, by contrast, can eat non-food items, and may even do so spontaneously.

Neopets as owned by players do not die, despite the existence of [[Ghost]] Neopets, and can only be removed from the world if deleted for being given an inappropriate (e.g. profane) name, or if their current owner is [[frozen]].

===Origins===
It is unclear exactly how Neopets evolved. While the [[Tyrannian]] paint [[colour]] shows what seems to be less-evolved versions of Neopets (reminiscent of variously [[wikipedia:caveman|cavemen]], [[wikipedia:sabre-tooth cat|sabre-tooth cat]]s, etc) the [[Neopedia]] article on [[Dr. Frank Sloth]] suggests that Neopets began to come into existence from flashes of light. The presence of [[faerie]]s and faerie magic may explain the existence of Neopets, or they could have been brought to Neopia from other worlds by technologically superior powers. At least one species of Neopet, the [[Grundo]], was brought to Neopia this way.

==Characteristics==
Each individual Neopet has a name. Neopets taken by players have names that are unique amongst all the other Neopets on the website. Each individual also has other statistics that may be viewed by a player through the [[Quick Ref]] page - in the case of their own Neopets - or an a Neopet's [[look-up]]. Individuals also have a height, given in [[wikipedia:centimetre|centimetre]]s, and weight given in [[wikipedia:pounds (weight)|pounds]]. A Neopet's weight can change in response to the foods it is fed.

Neopets can be trained to improve their strength, movement, defence, and hit points. While a Neopet's age is recorded, the main indicator of their experience is their level. Higher levels allow strength, movement, defence, and hit points to be trained to higher degrees. Strength, movement, and defence points can be trained by up to twice the points of a pets level, and hit points up to three times level. These statistics may be increased by [[random events]], [[Coltzan's Shrine]], or the Lab Ray to beyond these restrictions, however further training through the training schools - the [[Mystery Island Training School]], the [[Swashbuckling Academy]], and the [[Secret Ninja Training School]] - will not be possible until the Neopet's level is increased again.

A Neopet's level also effects what [[abilities|faerie and species abilities]] it can learn. These abilities, strength, movement (to a modest extent), defence and hit points come into play in the [[Battledome]]. Having a high level does not itself make a Neopet more powerful - it is only useful insofar as it means their other statistics can be trained higher.

Individuals also have a fishing skill score, which reflects its experience at [[Underwater Fishing]] and what types of fish it is capable of retrieving, and an [[Employment Agency]] rating, featuring their rank and completion statistics.

The intelligence statistic of a pet is influenced primarily by how many [[book]]s it has been read, and can affect which books it will be willing to read in the future.

===Personality===
When a Neopet is created, the owner is asked to describe its nature: what the Neopet most likes to do (e.g. gathering food or making friends) and how they typically react when meeting others (e.g. smile sweetly or run away). These attributes do not have any effect on gameplay. After creation, they could only be seen if the Neopet was [[Pound|put up for adoption]], however when the site was revamped in April 27, 2007, it was shown on the Neopet's look-up as well.

Pets that were created before this date all had their personalities set to gathering food and acting friendly while those that were created after show what their creator chose instead. [[The Neopets Team]] did acknowledge this glitch but have not fixed it yet.

===Likes and dislikes===
Neopets may reject certain items - this may include refusal to eat certain [[food]]s, play with certain [[toy]]s, or adopt certain Petpets. A Neopet's dislikes are based on his or her name. A Neopet will refuse to eat something, saying "Yuck! I'm not eating one of those!", if it has the same number of characters (including spaces) as that Neopet's name - for example, a Neopet called [[Thyassa]] will refuse to eat any food with a name seven characters long, such as a ''Bagguss''. He will eat foods with long or shorter names, however.

This rule also governs what Petpets a Neopet will be willing to own - e.g. Thyassa would not accept a [[Magaral]]. If the Petpet was painted to change its name's length - for example, a [[Pirate]] Magaral - then the Neopet would accept it.

A Neopet will reject a toy to play with if its name is twice as long as their name, but will accept a toy with the name the same length.

One work around for Neopet dislikes is for the player to change the site language. Names of items in foreign languages may be different lengths and therefore not cause the Neopet to reject them. Once the Neopet has accepted the item the language can be changed back.

==Neopet care==
A Neopet's owner can care and provide for their Neopets. As well [[Neopet Customisation|customising]] them with [[clothes]], accessories, and other paint colours, they can change improve or lower their pet's mood through their actions, feed it, and cure it of diseases.

===Mood===
A Neopets mood, being happy or sad, is changed by user actions around the website. There are ten levels of happiness, from least to most happy:

*Depressed
*Very unhappy
*Miserable
*Unhappy
*Content
*Happy
*Cheerful
*Extremely happy
*Joyful
*Delighted!

There are numerous ways to change a Neopets happiness, such as playing with a [[toy]], [[grooming]] them, riding the [[Roo Island Merry Go Round]] or eating a [[Negg|Happy Negg]]. The happiness of the user's active Neopet is shown in a table of statistics on the left of most pages. The happiness of the user's inactive Neopets must be checked on the [[Quick Ref]] page.

If a Neopet happens to be [[Disease|sick]] when checking the Quick Ref page, its happiness will be lowered. It also lowers if the Neopet has had less than full hit points for extended periods of time.

There are three rare [[Random Event]]s that relate to an unhappy Neopet. These change a Neopet's [[colour]] to blue if really sad, or red if angry, or green if sick. If a Neopet is unhappy or sick, they appear sad or sick on the Quick Ref page, the Neopet's look-up, and on the player's user look-up.

===Hunger===
Just like real life creatures, Neopets become hungry over time, and must be fed to become full again. Neopets can be any of the following levels of fullness:

*Dying
*Starving
*Famished
*Very hungry
*Hungry
*Not hungry
*Fine
*Satiated
*Full up
*Very full
*Bloated
*Very bloated

Neopets can be fed any [[food]] item - subject to their likes and dislikes, see above - to reduce their hunger and make them more full. A food item does not always reduce the Neopet's hunger enough to move it to a different hunger rank, however.

If a user does not have enough [[Neopoints]] to buy food for their Neopet - currently under 3,000 NP - they can go to the [[Soup Faerie|soup kitchen]] to feed them instead. Food is often given out by certain [[daily]] activities like the [[Giant Omelette]] and the [[Giant Jelly]]. The [[Healing Springs]] may also make a Neopet bloated.

Grarrls and Skeiths can eat any non-food items, and Jetsam can also eat [[Aquatic Petpet]]s.

Hunger effects whether a Neopet can fight in the [[Battledome]] or not. Being hungry for a long period of time can also reduce a Neopet's mood. While the name of the most desperate hunger level is "dying", a Neopet cannot actually die of hunger.

If the Neopet is hungry, their hunger status shows up in red text. Occasionally, a Neopet may have the rank of "not hungry" appear in red: they must be fed again to make them actually not hungry and allow participation in the Battledome.

===Pet Spotlight===
First started on August 29, 2000, the Pet Spotlight is one of the many competitions run on the Neopets website. Users submit a short story or description (limited to 500 - 2500 words) of their Neopet of choice accompanied by a self-created drawing of the pet. Trophies for the spotlight began to be handed out on October 17, 2000 and are displayed on the pet's lookup.

==Site Spotlight==
The '''Site Spotlight''' was a regular competition on the Neopets website where players could submit petpages that they created on a variety of topics and receive a trophy in return if their submission was selected. Site content ranged anywhere from profiles of their pet to guides for various Neopian-related topics such as [[Faerie]]s, [[Games Room|games]], or [[Morphing Potion|morphing potions]].

The Site Spotlight started on August 29, 2000 and trophies began to be handed out two months later on October 17, 2000. Due to a decline in popularity, the last Site Spotlight was selected on August 12, 2010.

==Trivia==
*A user's Neopet would send its user an e-mail wishing them a happy birthday when the time came after January 27, 2000.
*Level 181 is the minimum level a Neopet must have to receive the rank "Too High to Count".
*Users could rate the look of another user's Neopet via a five star rating from their Neopets Lookup as of September 12, 2007.
*Users were given the option to send photos of their Neopet to another user on September 21, 2007.
*Since site update from [[Neopets 2.0]] and [[Neopet Customisation]], Neopets were unable to show emotions and other battledome poses as they were used to. This changed with an update on December 21, 2007, and a Neopet's facial expressions could show when they are happy, sad, angry, or sick.
*The most popular Neopet is the Shoyru.
*The active pet, when seen on the left-hand module, will occasionally communicate short sentences while the user browses the site. The following 16 phrases, written directly below the pet's image, are rendered as '''(Pet name) says:'''

{|align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5%"
|-valign="top"
|width="400px"|
*A Tiki Tour sounds good right about now!
*AH! BEHIND YOU! Just kidding!
*Destruct-O-Match sounds like fun right about now.
*Do you think you could buy me a toy? Please?
*How can I show my face in the Battledome like this?
*I think some strength training is in order, don't you?
*Is it time for training yet?
*Know anyone who's up for a fight?!
|width="510px"|
*My puny arms can't even hold an Attack Pea!
*Seen any good concerts lately?
*Today doesn't seem to be a very good day.
*When's the last time we visited the Techo Master?
*Why don't you just paint me grey if you're gonna leave me like this?
* *ho hum*
* *sigh*
* *yawn* Is it nap time, yet?

Team Maraqua

2011-06-16T15:22:18Z

68.51.102.159:

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/freebies/2009/backgrounds/400_maraqua.gif
|}

'''Maraqua's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' could be described as "a house divided," due to the antics of their star forward. [[Elon Hughlis]] is more concerned with his personal accomplishments than actual wins and losses, making him a headache to the team. He looks down on his teammates who aren't as talented as him, and they endure him due to his tremendous ability.

After getting beaten in the first round of [[Altador Cup 2006]], fans thought Maraqua would cut its losses and get rid of Elon Hughlis. When it became apparent that Hughlis wasn't leaving, they decide to trade other foward, [[Jair Tollet]] for [[Roo Island]]'s [[Dayla]] (injured in preseason). Considering Hughlis insisted on scoring most of the team's goals, Maraqua decided having three defenders in the lineup worked best for them, adding hefty defence man [[Oten Runeu]] to their starting unit. As a result, Maraqua looked to have one of the toughest squads in Neopia to score against, later proved to be false after placing ninth and tenth in the following two cups.

However, in 09, even though Maraqua was defeated in the first match by [[Kiko Lake]], the team was able to win the second bracket, putting them in 5th place, a drastic improvement from their following years of 10th, 9th, and 10th.

In [[Altador Cup V]], the team was hyped about a lot. However, due to a tough series of matches where they had to face the top three teams; [[Lost Desert]], [[Kreludor]], and [[Darigan Citadel]] in a row, and not faring well against any of them, they dropped from a strong fifth at the end of round one, to a struggling eighth at the end of round two. However, In the Finals they shined once again, beating [[Meridell]] who were consistently placed in the top four before being slightly edged out near the end by [[Roo Island]], the defeating [[Virtupets Space Station]] to claim the same sport they claimed the year before, 5th. In 2011's Altador cup they will be having [[Lost Desert]]'s defender Lamelle Turow because Dorina Hals has retired, and since [[Lost Desert]] won in 2010's Altador Cup, will Maraqua have a chance of getting a medal?

The '''Leaf Shield''' is a [[weapon]] rewarded for completing a quest for [[Illusen]] at level 29. It is priced at about 8000 NP on the [[Shop Wizard]], but is a good deal compared to similar shields.
