{{Construction| reason=Better Neopet summary to be written.}}
The '''Wocky''' is a [[wikipedia:cat|cat]]-like [[Neopet]] released on November 15, 1999 as one of the original Neopets on the site. Like [[Scorchio]]s, Wockies are extremely outgoing, friendly and adventurous. Loving the great outdoors and the feel of the wind on a sailing ship out on the seas, these Neopets, along with Scorchios are usually the reason for treasure discoveries. Unafraid and brave, a Wocky is a perfect and powerful member of any battle or adventure.

Mynci

2011-02-19T20:41:03Z

74.100.52.26: /* Trivia */

{{Infobox neopet
|NeopetImage=red mynci cropped.png
|RainbowPoolID=35
|LowerCaseNeopetName=mynci
|SPECIALDAY=22 February
}}

The '''Mynci''' (from [[wikipedia:Welsh|Welsh]] ''[[wiktionary:mwnci|mwnci]]'', ''monkey'') is [[wikipedia:monkey|monkey]]-like [[Neopet]] that was introduced at [[Neopets|the site]]'s founding as the ''Mellish'' (see [[Mynci#Old designs|below]]). They are natural acrobats: agile with good balance, they can swing from trees and [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=1&id=164 dangle] from their tails to get at the [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=5&id=51 tastiest fruit].

Amongst the four basic colours, as well as the colours [[Pink]], [[Spotted]], [[Starry]], and [[White]], the Mynci's face, ears, and belly remain unchanged while their fur is recoloured.

They are mischievous Neopets who love to play pranks on others. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of earth.

==Battledome==

In the [[Battledome]], Myncis have no natural resistances, but do have six species [[abilities]]:

*''Mynci Thwack'' - Attack: 1 - 2 x Physical; Defence: none; available at level 3;
*''Mynci Swing'' - Attack: 2 x Air, 2 x Earth; Defence: none; available from level 13;
*''Mynci Wham'' - Attack: 2 - 3 x Light, 1 - 3 x Physical; Defence: none; available from level 20;
*''Mynic Punch'' - Attack: 2 x Fire, 1 - 2 x Physical; Defence: none; Available on Mynci Day only;
*''Mynci Slide'' - Attack: none; Defence: 3 - 6 x Physical; available on Mynci Day only;
*''Mynci Tackle'' - Attack: 3 x Earth; Defence: none; available on Mynci Day only.

There are also seventeen pieces of [[Battledome equipment|equipment]] that can only be used by a Mynci.

==Old designs==

The first incarnation of the Mynci was known as the Mellish, and appeared as a drawing of a ginger man in a chequered shirt. The colour of the shirt changed when the Mellish was repainted. The Mellish was reworked into the monkey-like Mynci on 29 June 2000.

==Colours==
As of July 2010, Myncies can come in 49 different [[colour|colours]]:

Paint Brush

74.100.125.127: /* Unusable Paint Brushes */

{{construction|reason=Overview of article needed, discussion of main wiki image to use, and completion of a Petpet Paint Brush list}}

[[Image:Neopets PBs.PNG|thumb|An example of some of the 52 Paint Brushes]]

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 as 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 [[The Rainbow Pool|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]].

==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 until a Tyrannian version was made for each of them. The list of retired brushes is:

*'''[[Glass]]''' - Glass coloured pets were automatically repainted the Tyrannian colour.)
*'''[[Jelly]]''' - The Jelly Paint Brush is a special case as the item was never released and, most likely, never will be , despite the fact that the image can be found in the image database.
*'''[[Shadow]]ed''' - Now the Shadow colour.
*'''[[Lutari]]''' - A colour similar to Mystery Island. No pets were ever released in this colour, so the item is not usable. It does ''not'' "paint" a pet into a Lutari.
*'''Stars''' - Now the Starry colour.
*'''[[Stone]]''' - Stone coloured pets were automatically repainted the Mystery Island colour.
*'''[[Unicorn (colour)| Unicorn]]''' - Replaced by the ''Unicorn Gem'', later renamed to the ''Uni Gem'', Neopets who were painted Unicorn were changed to a red version of that pet.
*'''[[Ice]]''' - The Ice Paint Brush can be found in the image database, but was never relleased as a Paint Brush
*'''[[Black]] and [[White]]''' - This was the old name for the [[Skunk]] Paint brush.
*'''[[Speckled]]''' - A green color with white spots
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 colours 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 [[The Rainbow Pool#Petpet Puddle|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. However, there are also some Petpet colours that can only be obtained through the [[Treasure Maps#Petpet Laboratory|Petpet Laboratory]], such as [[Chocolate]].

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. The tartan colour would've been for the [[Aisha]] and [[Moehog]]. Also later on the [[Island]] [[Colour]] was released later on on Neopets after the victory for the election of the Pirate Colour.
*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 rumoured that the Lutari Island paintbrush will be called the Tropical Paintbrush.
*The paint brush, ''[[Strawberry]] Fields Forever Paint Brush'', is based on the Beatles song '[[wikipedia:Strawberry Fields Forever|Strawberry Fields Forever]]'.
