The '''Quiggle''' is a [[wikipedia:Toad|toad]]-like [[Neopet]] released on April 19, 2000.

==Overview==
Quiggles are lively and fun to be around, and love to spend all day splashing around in ponds, streams and puddles. Because of their natural love of water they often build their [[Neohome]]s near ponds and rivers. Quiggles enjoy eating fresh vegetables and always have a large stock of carrots, broccoli, and [[asparagus]] nearby.

The appearance of the Quiggle is of a short and stout amphibians, a large contrast from the tall and lanky [[Nimmo]]. The physical features of Quiggles include disproportionately large feet with three toes, and hands much smaller compared to their feet. Their hands themselves are the most disputed feature of the Quiggle, as newer images of the Quiggle have three fingers while older ones have four fingers. Despite the irregularities, each finger and toe terminates in a circular bobble, adding to the Quiggle's stout appearance. Final touches on the Quiggle design include two hairs on the top of the head, and the wide-set crossed eyes.

Overall, the Quiggle gives the appearance of being fun and silly, which is perhaps why [[The Neopets Team]] have chosen them to be the "joke" Neopet on many occasions. The [[Quiguki]] [[April Fool's]] joke is a prime example, as is [[Old Man Withers]] of the [[Altador Plot]], who was the president of many clubs which no one could join.

PLUS THEY ARE GAY!

==Frogstomp==
[[Image:Frogstomp Image.gif|frame|The Quiggle was originally known as the '''Frogstomp''' when first created.]]

The Quiggle was originally called the '''Frogstomp''', which looked like a frog with large webbed feet and tiny hands. It was introduced to Neopia on April 17, 2000, and made available to members the next day. Frogstomp was chosen from the Neopet's Create-A-Pet competition, but the design only survived 3 months before being redrawn as the Quiggle on July 25, 2000.

==Trivia==
* As of July 2009, over 3.2 million Quiggles have been created, ranking them the 29th out of 54 Neopets in popularity. They are also reatured in 130 different [[item]]s.
* In the [[Neopets TCG]], Quiggles are associated with the element of [[Water Faerie|water]].
* Quiggles become [[disease|sick]] with Neezles if fed any item with the word "cream" in it, with the stated reason being that Quiggles' blood temperature change, so their blood becomes cold after eating ice cream.
* The Quiggle's name is possibly derived from the word ''squiggle''.
* Quiggle Day occurs on June 13th.
