The '''Lutari''' (from the [[wikipedia:Latin|Latin]] ''[[wiktionary:lutra|lutra]]'', ''otter'', as in [[wikipedia:European Otter|lutra lutra]]) is an [[wikipedia:otter|otter]]-like [[Neopet]], released as a [[limited edition]] Neopet on 19 April 2006. Lutari are alert, friendly Neopets who enjoy playing games outside. They are excellent swimmers and spend much of their time in the water. At least some Lutari are [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=10&id=120 dam builders] like [[wikipedia:beaver|beaver]]s.

Lutari come from [[Lutari Island]], which was only accessible via now now defunct mobile phone service. When accessed on the main [[Neopets]] site, it is shrouded in impenetrable mist. Their images existed on the Neopets image server - under the name of the ''Mok'' - for a long time before they were available to players. The first Lutari to be seen in [[Neopia]] - before users could create them - was [[Mr. Chipper]], who started running [[Happy Valley Ice Cream]] on 21 December 2004. 

Following the [[Neopets 2.0]] revamp to allow for [[Neopets Customisation|clothing Neopets]], the Lutari was redrawn from its sleek swimming pose to a standing pose more in uniform with other Neopets. Lutari have the fewest available [[colour]]s of any Neopet. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of Water. 

==Battledome==
In the [[Battledome]], Lutari have no natural resistances, but can learn three species [[abilities]]:
