The Skeith is a gargoyle- or dragon-like Neopet, and one of the original 14 when Neopets began on November 15, 1999. As one of the largest Neopets of Neopia, they are quite strong but also lazy, preferring to get smaller creatures to do things for them. As is the case with several myths about dragons (Fafnir or the dragon in Beowulf), Skeiths often hoard or guard treasure - for example, tax collector Gordos, the National Neopian bank manager, or Meridell treasurer Snargan.
Skeiths are capable of eating anything, including furniture, Petpets, Petpetpets, codestones, dubloons and Paint Brushes, an ability which only Skeiths and Grarrls have. This makes it very easy to keep your Skeith well fed, as users can simple feed their Skeith items they wish to get rid of. Some Skeith have even threatened to eat other Neopets.
Although Skeiths are typically depicted as greedy, they don't require their owner to feed them any more regularly than any other Neopet. However, when a Skeith is hungry and its owner visits the Quick Ref page, it may snatch and consume an item from the user's inventory. When it does this, it becomes bloated. While they can eat anything, Skeiths come down with Neezles when fed anything with the word cheese in the name.
The Skeith is adorned with spikes and wings, and while these wings can support a Skeith's weight, Skeiths do not appear particularly aerodynamic. In the Neopets Trading Card Game, they are typically associated with the element of Dark.
Battledome
In the Battledome, Skeiths are naturally resistant to earth, fire, and physical attacks, receiving 10% less damage from each. They can learn four species abilities:
