'''The Tyrannian Invasion''' (20 March - 11 May 2001) was a [[plot]] involving the discovery of [[Tyrannia]] and the first war in which players themselves could fight in the [[Battledome]] for the safety of [[Neopia]].

==Plot summary==

===The Earthquake===

On 20 March 2001, [[Neopia]] was hit by an earthquake that cracked a chasm into floor of the [[Ice Caves]]. The next day, Neopians ventured into the darkness of the chasm, and found that it linked into a tunnel. The deeper the explorers went, the warmer and dryer it became, and roots of strange plants began to cover the walls of the tunnel. A mile deep into the the tunnel and the roots and vines are too dense for anyone to proceed, until a then unknown Neopet the [[Chomby]] began to [http://www.neopets.com/prehistoric/deadend.phtml eat at the vegetation], opening up the way to [[Tyrannia]], a prehistoric land.

The next day, Chombies began to wander out of Tyrannia into all of Neopia, allowing users to adopt them, and the shop [[Tyrannian Foods]] was opened as well. Over the coming weeks, many new games and features would open up in Tyrannia:

*26 March - [[Tyranu Evavu]], [[Tyrannian Petpets]], and [[Grarrl Keno]];
*27 March - [[Chomby and the Fungus Balls]];
*28 March - [[Tyrannian Random Event]]s and [[Giant Omelette]];
*29 March - [[Tyrannian Furniture]], the [[Wheel of Mediocrity]] and the [[Concert Hall]]
*3 April - [[Switch-A-Roo]];
*5 April - [[Kacheekers]] and [[Tyrannian Weaponry]];
*6 April - [[Lair of the Beast]];
*9 April - the [[Crashed Time Machine]];
*11 April - [[Destruct-O-Match]] and [[Go! Go! Go!]];
*11 May - [[Chia Bomber]];

===The Invasion===

The Council of Elders ([[Kyruggi]], [[Grarrg]], [[Tekel]], [[Plesio]], [[Sabre-X]] and [[Myncha]]) were also available to visit from 27 March. Three days later, Myncha returned from a scouting mission in the mud flats north of the Plateau and reported evil looking creatures slowly headed towards Tyrannia. Grarrg called for a town meeting on 5 April to recruit for the Tyrannian Army.

On the 25th, a loud voice echoed across Tyrannia and appeared to every player over the Battledome Events marquee - ''"The [[Monoceraptor]] will crush your puny Tyrannia!"''. The invasion began the next day, when thousands of [[Korbat Scout]]s and later [[Korbat Leader]]s began to swarm and pillage Tyrannia. An [http://www.neopets.com/prehistoric/armytent.phtml army tent] (dead link) was set up to co-ordinate the Tyrannian defence, of which Neopians around Neopia could join in. After their defeat, they were joined by the stronger [[Grarrl Trooper]]s and [[Skeith Invader]]s on 2 May, and were joined the next day with the [[Chia Bomber]]s, equipped with mud-slinging bazookas.

And then on 7 May, the invaders were joined by 10,000 [[Fire Grarrl]]s, followed by a swarm of 1,000 [[Tyrannian Buzz]] the next day, and then 350 [[Grarrl Battlemasters]] the day after that. The Monoceraptor's army seemed to be winning, and Tyrannia would be destroyed. To help the war effort, [[Kauvara]] permanently halved all the prices of the healing potions in her shop. A message was also received from someone or something calling himself the Monoceraptor, saying, ''"I WILL ARRIVE TOMORROW AND CARVE UP YOUR PUNY TYRANNIA. YOU HAD BETTER BE READY FOR ME."''.

By 10 May, all 350 [[Grarrl]] Battlemasters had been defeated, leaving an eerie silence hanging over Tyrannia, the calm before the storm.

In anticipation of the Monoceraptor's arrival, Kauvara donated free Healing Potions at the [[Money Tree]] for the rest of the day. Finally, the colossal Monoceraptor arrived, and all the Neopian warriors had to combine forces to defeat him. The killing blow was landed by a single heroic [[Lupe]], and as it fell to the ground a slow, rasping voice could be heard across the whole of Tyrannia, saying, "''That puny creature of mine has failed...but Neopia has not yet seen the last of me...I will return...oh yes...I will return."''

The Monoceraptor's claws were later salvaged and sold from the [[Hidden Tower]] as weapons.

[[Image:Tyrannian War Medal.gif|left]]
The War Prizes were awarded on 11th May, 2001, with considerably less variety then that which would, in later wars, become the norm. Everybody who participated was rewarded with 10,000 [[NP]], provided they had beaten at least one enemy. The owner of the Neopet who first won against the [[Monoceraptor]] (who was only described as a "brave Lupe", petname ?k1jir0) was awarded 1,000,000 NP and "an item of his choice" (Monoceraptor's Claw).

Users were also given a [[Trophy]] on their [[User Lookup]], showing how many battles they won and their title.
 

==Trivia==
*The war came out days after [[The Neopets Team]] introduced the One Player [[Battledome]] on the April 20, 2001, presumably to promote and test the new system before the invasion of April 26.
*The One Player Battledome History was introduced as a result of this war, along with the current front page design of the Battledome.
*The Grarrl Battlemaster and Monoceraptor were added to the [[Gallery of Evil]] on May 11, 2006, for their actions in the Invasion, but have since been taken out.
*Seven [[plushies]] were created after the war for Neopets to "Relive the great Tyrannian battle".

Paint Brush

96.52.36.57: /* List of 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.
*'''Shadowed''' - 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''' - Replaced by the ''Unicorn Gem'', later renamed to the ''Uni Gem''.

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...
