Editing Hissi

[[Image:Hissi red baby.gif|frame|Red Hissi as of June 16, 2006.]]
The '''Hissi''' is a snake-like [[Neopet]] with wings, likely based on the [[Wikipedia:Aztec|Aztec]] serpent god [[Wikipedia:Quetzalcoatl|Quetzalcoatl]]. It was released May 4, 2005. Hissi have acute vision and a keen sense of smell which makes them extremely good at games of hide and seek.

Users had been wanting a snake-like Neopet for a long time, and were happy to see the Hissi created. It is generally considered to be a fairly good pet, with nice artwork for the standard colours. Since most of the Neopets are made to look "cute," there is a large group of players who celebrate every time Neopets releases a non-cuddly pet.

Because they are [[Limited Edition]], not very many are created. A limited number are available for creation every ''Hissi Day''. They can also be created from an existing pet with a Hissi [[Transmogrification Potion]], [[Morphing Potion]] or by a species-changing zap from the [[Lab Ray]].

==Colours==
As of October 2008, Hissi are available in 29 different [[Rainbow Pool|colours]]:

==Trivia==
*As of September 2007, they are the 51st most popular out of the 54 existing Neopets, with just over 225,000 created. There are currently 85 Hissi related [[item]]s.
*''Hissi Day'' is on May 4th.
*In the Neopets TCG Hissi are associated with the element of [[Dark Faerie|Darkness]].
*At first, many users considered Hissies ugly when they debuted. However, this made them more available than other Limited Edition Neopets, and they became popular soon afterwards.
*The Hissi's name is probably derived from the word ''hiss'', the sound a snake makes.
