[[Image:Jetsam pink avatarspit.gif|frame|When a [[Jetsam]] eats any [[Petpet|Aquatic Petpet]], the user receives the ''Jetsam Chomp!'' [[Avatar]].]]

'''Avatars''' are graphic icons (sized 50 by 50 [[Wikipedia:Pixel|pixels]]) which are displayed next to your username when you send a [[NeoMail]] or post a message in the [[NeoBoard]]s. You can change your avatar by going to the NeoBoards and clicking [http://neopets.com/neoboards/preferences.phtml Chat Preferences].

==Overview==
There are 56 default avatars which are provided to players automatically, depicting every [[Neopet]] and common [[Faerie]], but there are currently over 300 secret avatars which can be unlocked. To find these, users must perform tasks such as getting a high score at a flash game (Score 10,000+ points in [[Snow Wars II]]), visiting a particular page (View the [[Grey Faerie]]'s [[Neopedia]] article), or equipping their pet with a certain [[Battledome Equipment]] (own a [[Grarrl]] and equip it with '''Bony Grarrl Club'''). These are just a few ways to acquire them.

When certain items are needed for an avatar, it can boost the item's price considerably. Such an example is use of the [[Nerkmid]], making them almost [[unbuyable]] due to the large price. When [[item]]s used avatar can be reused (i.e. don't disappear), users can lend them out (for [[Wikipedia:Collateral (finance)|collateral]] or for free) so others can obtain the avatar without having to buy the item themselves. Some users do this with Neopets, as certain types of Neopets yield different avatars (different [[Rainbow Pool|colour]]s, the age of the Neopet or [[Petpet]] which is attached to it, etc.). Neopet lending is risky, as [[Pet Transfer|transferring]] a Neopet through the [[Neopian Pound]] does not guarantee it will reach the correct destination owner (though it is now safer) and be returned to the original owner.

Avatar collecting is also a contest to some users, and a [http://www.neopets.com/gamescores.phtml?game_id=342 high score list] exists, and gives an avatar as well for having the very top positions.

==Trivia==
*There is a [[Book]] called '''Avatar Collector Guide''' which is said to give tips to getting all the elusive avatars, but it does in no way help a user attain any.
*While avatars only exist for the user to see and not in [[Neopia]], a reference to the way avatars are gained was shown in a [[Jetsam]] ''Fun Image'' released on October 16, 2007. In it, a Pink Jetsam eats an [[Petpet|Aquatic Petpet]], and the ''Jetsam Chomp!'' avatar pops out of its mouth. Avatars and how to get them can also be featured in fictional stories in the Neopian Times.
