'''Doirn''' is a Red [[Scorchio]] created on ''(need date)'' from a [[NeoDeck]] card. He is known for spending 90 days and nights in the dungeons of [[Meridell]] after telling a joke to [[King Skarl]], which is believed to be a very bad joke.

==Trivia==
*Although the NeoDeck card states he has been in the dungeons for 90 days and nights, it's unknown how much longer he spent there, also due to the fact of the cards creation.
*Doirn is featured in [http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Template:Funfiller&oldid=6692 Battle for the Dung], an uncompleted serialized story featured on the front page of the NeoDex which began on August 3, 2006. The character does not relate to the real Doirn known on Neopets, and is a work of fiction.

{{construction|reason=More information on TNT, new sections to create and others to fill, plot summaries to fill}}

'''The Neopets Team''' (''TNT'' for short) are the official employees of Neopets Inc. who work on the [[Neopets (website)|website]]. Their official user account [http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=theneopetsteam theneopetsteam] is the only account in which the TNT will official contact users through [[NeoMail]], a fact strengthened all the more with the exploding ''TNT'' [[avatar]] (TNT shares the same abbreviation is [[Wikipedia:Trinitrotoluene|Trinitrotoluene]]), used only by the The Neopets Team. They seem to have a strange obsession with asparagus.

==User account types==
Sometimes a member of TNT has their own user account, and if they choose can signify they are a member of TNT by a tag on the bottom of their [[User Lookup]]. There are also other accounts which are used for special purposes on Neopets. The collected ones are...

*'''Monitor''' - The most basic kind of account. Monitors watch over the interactions between users on the site. Sometimes artists, writers and other employees are given this account type, often confusing regular users. Some monitors are responsible for one country only. These are listed as "Non-US-Monitors" at the end of this article.
*'''Auction''' - This type of account creates special auctions in the [[Auction House]] for regular users to bid on. The [[item]]s involved usually are very rare.
*'''Lawyer''' - Account given to [[Lawyerbot]], the lawyer for Neopets. Used by Laywerbot to find spammers, scammers, and other illegal activities on Neopets.
*'''Programmer''' - Programmers create games and plots around the site.

==Plot summaries==
===Sacrificers===
{{main|Sacrificers}}

The Neopets Team journeyed to the newly-discovered [[Mystery Island]] where they became part of an elimination-survival game, with each week a member being sacrificed to [[Mumbo Pango]], a god of the native [[Coconut People]], until only one remained - [[Donna]].

===Ski Lodge Murder Mystery===
{{Main|Ski Lodge Murder Mystery}}

The Neopets Team, on holiday in [[Terror Mountain]], were trapped in the old Ski Lodge by a freak snowstorm. Unable to leave the mansion, one by one the staff members were picked off by a mysterious murderer in their midst until only the murderer and one last staff member survived: [[Maverick]] and [[Beader]] respectively. Before Maverick could come after Beader, she trapped him in a cage. Before the police could arrest him, he exploded, for he was a robotic replica made by a mysterious villain, possibly Dr Sloth.

Many of the members of the team were "killed off" during the [[Neopets Staff Sacrificers]] and [[Ski Lodge Murder Mystery]].

===Altador Cup 2006===
{{Main|Altador Cup 2006}}

''...to be added...''

==Neocam==
{{main|Neocam}}

The '''Neocam''' is the users visual look into The Neopets Team's headquarters, where they work to keep Neopets running. A [[Wikipedia:webcam|webcam]] is on 24/7, capturing a new picture every minute. Some images are saved for future enjoyment.

==Trivia==
*On January 14, 2000, The Neopets Team turned into [[Wikipedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]]
*On January 18, 2000, an admin power was added to the website, which allowed The Neopets Team to give items to users.
*One of the test accounts, paganmachine, is the [[wikipedia:Portugal|Portuguese]] [[NeoBoard]] moderator.

A '''Paint Brush''' is a special [[item]] which gives the user the ability to change the [[colour]] of one of their [[Neopet]]s. Paint Brushes were originally found by [[Random Event]]s, which means they can be bought from other user's [[shop]]s or [[Auctions]], and are also given away as prizes from [[Contests]]. Special Paint Brushes can also be bought in the [[Hidden Tower]], and newer [[plots]] also allow users to buy Paint Brushes with the points they collected from participating (the first plot to do this was the [[Lost Desert Plot]], which rewarded the '''Lost Desert Paint Brush''' for 70,000 points). The recent addition of Key Quest to the site provided an additional method of gaining Paint Brushes by allowing players to win certain Paint Brushes as prizes, including the Biscuit, Camouflage, Cloud, Ghost, Glowing, Striped, Snow, Speckled, Starry and Tyrannian Paint Brushes. There are also Petpet paint brushes, which change the colour of a [[Petpet]].

In addition to providing new ''colours'' for Neopets, some paint brush colours seem more costume-like and fanciful, such as Halloween, Plushie and Tyrannian. Some paint brushes are rarer than others, but aside from the no-trade starter brushes, they all rank expensive items.

To use a paint brush on a Neopet, a proper paint brush colour scheme must be available for the chosen Neopet, then the user must go to the [[Rainbow Pool]], where its waters allow the brushes' magic to work. Using just a paint brush on a Neopet or going to the Rainbow Pool will not change the colour of the Neopet, as both must be used in conjunction for the magic to work. A Paint brush can only be used once, and after using it on a Neopet, it will disappear. The Rainbow Pool should not be confused with the [[Rainbow Fountain]].

==List of Paint Brushes==
The list of available (and active) paint brushes. Non-tradable brushes are in italics.

==Paint Brush Relations==
Some paint brushes have a link to worlds of Neopia. Usually so they can fit in there or just for a nice new look.

*[[Neopia Central]] - Plushie Paint Brush
*[[Meridell]] - Royal Paint Brush
*[[Maraqua]] - Maraquan Paint Brush
*[[Tyrannia]] - Tyrannian, Stone Paint Brushes
*[[Haunted Woods]] - Halloween, Ghost Paint Brushes
*[[Terror Mountain]] - Snow, Christmas Paint Brushes
*[[Mystery Island]] - Island Paint Brush
*[[Krawk Island]] - Pirate Paint Brush
*[[Darigan Citadel]] - Darigan Paint Brush
*[[Neovia]] - Zombie Paint Brush
*[[Lost Desert]] - Desert Paint Brush
*[[Faerieland]] - Faerie Paint Brush
*[[Lutari Island]] - Lutari Island Paint Brush

==Non-Paint Brush Relations==
Some worlds do not have a paint brush but are still related in some way to the world to fit in. These colors can be received by other means then painting.

*Virtupets Space Station-Robot
*Jelly World-Jelly
*Terror Mountain-Ice

==Non-Paint Brush Painting==
Paint brushes can change a pet into most of its available colours, but not necessarily all. Some colours are only available via the [[Lab Ray]] including [[Robot]], Ice, Sponge, and [[MSP]]. Any colour (except Baby, Pirate, Plushie, Quiguki, Royal, and Usuki) can be given by the lab ray without need of a paint brush. Additionally, there is no Mutant Paint Brush; the only away of obtaining a mutant pet is for a player to use a Transmogrification Potion of the species he or she wants on the pet, or to get it through the lab or [[Rainbow Fountain]]. Players sometimes accidentally feed Potions to their pets, thinking they will get the colour or species change but only using it on the pet gets the desired effect.

Often, Morphing Potions and Magical Plushies are available to change a Neopet into a different species and/or colour, and are, for some of the more popular combinations, a much cheaper option that a paint brush.

Additionally, all fruit/vegetable colours (other than Strawberry) can not be obtained with a Paint Brush. These are available with a [[Magical Chia Pop]], through the Lab Ray, or the [[Rainbow Fountain]]. Chia Pops, with very few exceptions, only work on Chias. They will not turn a player's pet into a Chia.

With the exception of a few Chia fruit/vegetable colours, there are some colours that are available to only one or two pet species. Examples of this? No pet other than the [[Aisha]] can be "Alien," and Usuki paint brushes only work on [[Usul]]s and [[Quiggle]]s.

==Unusable Paint Brushes==
Very rarely, a paint brush colour is retired. The paint brushes become unusable (and in the case of the Unicorn brush, disappear completely) and pets painted the retired colour no longer remain it, but may be changed to a newer version. An example of this occurred on the 8th of January, 2002, when the Glass Paint Brush was retired, and replaced with the Tyrannian Paint Brush. Some of the glass pets were turned into the newer Tyrannian versions (the Shoyru was one of the first Tyrannian Pets), while the others remained as glass pets as a Tyrannian version was being made for each of them. The list of retired brushes is:

*'''Unicorn''' (replaced by the ''Unicorn Gem'', later renamed to the ''Uni Gem''.)
*'''Glass''' (now the Tyrannian colour.)
*'''Stone''' (Retired.)
*'''Stars''' (now the Starry colour.)
*'''Shadowed''' (now the Shadow colour.)
*'''Jelly''' (The Jelly Paint Brush is a special case as it has never been made available and, most likely, never will be made available, even though it can be found in the item database.)

Note that, if the actual paint brush (as an item) is retired, it does not always mean it cannot be used. Paint brushes such as the Lost Desert Paint Brush, the Faerie Paint Brush, the Golden Paint Brush, and others are retired, but may still be used and [[The Neopets Team]] continue to make these designs available for new species.

==Petpet Paint Brush==
A [[Petpet]] Paint Brush is designed for painting Petpets a specific colour. They work much in the same way as a Paint Brush for Neopets - they are used at the [[Petpet Puddle]], akin to the Rainbow Pool, to paint a Petpet attached to a user's Neopet.

Interestingly, many colours that Neopets cannot obtain with a Paint Brush, only with alternative means such as via the [[Treasure Maps#Secret Laboratory|Secret Laboratory]], are available as a Paint Brush for Petpets, such as [[Robot]] or [[Mutant]] colours.

As of March 2009, there are 38 different Petpet Paint Brushes...

==Trivia==
*On May 15th, 2002, the Baby colour won the first Paint Brush competition.
*The second [http://www.neopets.com/comps/newpaintbrush.phtml Paint Brush competition] between the Tartan, Mystery Island and Pirate colours went live on May 16th, 2002. Pirate won the majority with 194,375 total votes.
*There are three colours only available by using a Paint Brush: [[Royal]], [[Usuki]], and [[Quiguki]]. These colours are not available through the [[Rainbow Fountain]] or the [[Lab Ray]].
*It is rumored that the lutari island paintbrush will be called the Tropical Paintbrush.

A '''Paint Brush''' is a special [[item]] which gives the user the ability to change the [[colour]] of one of their [[Neopet]]s. Paint Brushes were originally found by [[Random Event]]s, which means they can be bought from other user's [[shop]]s or [[Auctions]], and are also given away as prizes from [[Contests]]. Special Paint Brushes can also be bought in the [[Hidden Tower]], and newer [[plots]] also allow users to buy Paint Brushes with the points they collected from participating (the first plot to do this was the [[Lost Desert Plot]], which rewarded the '''Lost Desert Paint Brush''' for 70,000 points). The recent addition of Key Quest to the site provided an additional method of gaining Paint Brushes by allowing players to win certain Paint Brushes as prizes, including the Biscuit, Camouflage, Cloud, Ghost, Glowing, Striped, Snow, Speckled, Starry and Tyrannian Paint Brushes. There are also Petpet paint brushes, which change the colour of a [[Petpet]].

In addition to providing new ''colours'' for Neopets, some paint brush colours seem more costume-like and fanciful, such as Halloween, Plushie and Tyrannian. Some paint brushes are rarer than others, but aside from the no-trade starter brushes, they all rank expensive items.

To use a paint brush on a Neopet, a proper paint brush colour scheme must be available for the chosen Neopet, then the user must go to the [[Rainbow Pool]], where its waters allow the brushes' magic to work. Using just a paint brush on a Neopet or going to the Rainbow Pool will not change the colour of the Neopet, as both must be used in conjunction for the magic to work. A Paint brush can only be used once, and after using it on a Neopet, it will disappear. The Rainbow Pool should not be confused with the [[Rainbow Fountain]].

==Paint Brush Relations==
Some paint brushes have a link to worlds of Neopia. Usually so they can fit in there or just for a nice new look.

*[[Neopia Central]] - Plushie Paint Brush
*[[Meridell]] - Royal Paint Brush
*[[Maraqua]] - Maraquan Paint Brush
*[[Tyrannia]] - Tyrannian, Stone Paint Brushes
*[[Haunted Woods]] - Halloween, Ghost Paint Brushes
*[[Terror Mountain]] - Snow, Christmas Paint Brushes
*[[Mystery Island]] - Island Paint Brush
*[[Krawk Island]] - Pirate Paint Brush
*[[Darigan Citadel]] - Darigan Paint Brush
*[[Neovia]] - Zombie Paint Brush
*[[Lost Desert]] - Desert Paint Brush
*[[Faerieland]] - Faerie Paint Brush
*[[Lutari Island]] - Lutari Island Paint Brush

==Non-Paint Brush Relations==
Some worlds do not have a paint brush but are still related in some way to the world to fit in. These colors can be received by other means then painting.

*Virtupets Space Station-Robot
*Jelly World-Jelly
*Terror Mountain-Ice

==Non-Paint Brush Painting==
Paint brushes can change a pet into most of its available colours, but not necessarily all. Some colours are only available via the [[Lab Ray]] including [[Robot]], Ice, Sponge, and [[MSP]]. Any colour (except Baby, Pirate, Plushie, Quiguki, Royal, and Usuki) can be given by the lab ray without need of a paint brush. Additionally, there is no Mutant Paint Brush; the only away of obtaining a mutant pet is for a player to use a Transmogrification Potion of the species he or she wants on the pet, or to get it through the lab or [[Rainbow Fountain]]. Players sometimes accidentally feed Potions to their pets, thinking they will get the colour or species change but only using it on the pet gets the desired effect.

Often, Morphing Potions and Magical Plushies are available to change a Neopet into a different species and/or colour, and are, for some of the more popular combinations, a much cheaper option that a paint brush.

Additionally, all fruit/vegetable colours (other than Strawberry) can not be obtained with a Paint Brush. These are available with a [[Magical Chia Pop]], through the Lab Ray, or the [[Rainbow Fountain]]. Chia Pops, with very few exceptions, only work on Chias. They will not turn a player's pet into a Chia.

With the exception of a few Chia fruit/vegetable colours, there are some colours that are available to only one or two pet species. Examples of this? No pet other than the [[Aisha]] can be "Alien," and Usuki paint brushes only work on [[Usul]]s and [[Quiggle]]s.

==Unusable Paint Brushes==
Very rarely, a paint brush colour is retired. The paint brushes become unusable (and in the case of the Unicorn brush, disappear completely) and pets painted the retired colour no longer remain it, but may be changed to a newer version. An example of this occurred on the 8th of January, 2002, when the Glass Paint Brush was retired, and replaced with the Tyrannian Paint Brush. Some of the glass pets were turned into the newer Tyrannian versions (the Shoyru was one of the first Tyrannian Pets), while the others remained as glass pets as a Tyrannian version was being made for each of them. The list of retired brushes is:

*'''Unicorn''' (replaced by the ''Unicorn Gem'', later renamed to the ''Uni Gem''.)
*'''Glass''' (now the Tyrannian colour.)
*'''Stone''' (Retired.)
*'''Stars''' (now the Starry colour.)
*'''Shadowed''' (now the Shadow colour.)
*'''Jelly''' (The Jelly Paint Brush is a special case as it has never been made available and, most likely, never will be made available, even though it can be found in the item database.)

Note that, if the actual paint brush (as an item) is retired, it does not always mean it cannot be used. Paint brushes such as the Lost Desert Paint Brush, the Faerie Paint Brush, the Golden Paint Brush, and others are retired, but may still be used and [[The Neopets Team]] continue to make these designs available for new species.

==Petpet Paint Brush==
A [[Petpet]] Paint Brush is designed for painting Petpets a specific colour. They work much in the same way as a Paint Brush for Neopets - they are used at the [[Petpet Puddle]], akin to the Rainbow Pool, to paint a Petpet attached to a user's Neopet.

Interestingly, many colours that Neopets cannot obtain with a Paint Brush, only with alternative means such as via the [[Treasure Maps#Secret Laboratory|Secret Laboratory]], are available as a Paint Brush for Petpets, such as [[Robot]] or [[Mutant]] colours.

As of March 2009, there are 38 different Petpet Paint Brushes...

==Trivia==
*On May 15th, 2002, the Baby colour won the first Paint Brush competition.
*The second [http://www.neopets.com/comps/newpaintbrush.phtml Paint Brush competition] between the Tartan, Mystery Island and Pirate colours went live on May 16th, 2002. Pirate won the majority with 194,375 total votes.
*There are three colours only available by using a Paint Brush: [[Royal]], [[Usuki]], and [[Quiguki]]. These colours are not available through the [[Rainbow Fountain]] or the [[Lab Ray]].
*It is rumored that the lutari island paintbrush will be called the Tropical Paintbrush.
