:''This article is about the Neopet species. For other uses of "Neopet" or "Neopets", see [[Neopets]].''

A '''Neopet''' is a virtual pet users raise and play with on [[Neopets]]. There are many different Neopets, and come in many shapes, sizes, and species, but they are all considered Neopets. As of April 19, 2006, there are currently 54 different species.


==Neopet care==
For a user to care for a Neopet, they must make sure they are fed and happy.

===Mood===
A Neopets mood, being happy or sad, is changed by user actions around the website. There are ten levels of happiness, from least to most happy:

*Depressed
*Very unhappy
*Miserable
*Unhappy
*Content
*Happy
*Cheerful
*Extremely happy
*Joyful
*Delighted!

There are numerous ways to change a Neopets happiness, such as playing with a [[toy]], [[grooming]] them, riding the [[Roo Island Merry Go Round]] or eating a [[Negg|Happy Negg]]. To see the Neopets current happiness level, a user can go to the [http://www.neopets.com/quickref.phtml Quick Reference] page. If a Neopet happens to be [[Disease|sick]] when this is done, however, its happiness will be lowered.

The only known effect of happiness occurs from a rare [[random event]] when a user's Neopet is unhappy. Should the Neopet be unhappy when it occurs, its [[Paint Brush|colour]] turns to blue if really sad, or red if angry, and green if really sick.

While a Neopet's happiness doesn't effect gameplay and doesn't need to be changed, it's generally considered mean not to keep a Neopet happy.

===Hunger===
Just like real life creatures, Neopets become hungry over time, and must be fed to become full again. Neopets can be any of the following levels of fullness:

*Dying
*Starving
*Famished
*Very hungry
*Hungry
*Not hungry
*Fine
*Satiated
*Full up
*Very full
*Bloated
*Very bloated

Neopets can be fed with any [[food]] item, of which will lower its hunger (though it can sometimes be in the same state of hunger even when fed, which is random). Food is acquired with the Neopoints users gather. Should a user not have enough Neopoints to buy food for their Neopet, they can go to the [[Soup Faerie|soup kitchen]] which will feed a users Neopets if they have under 3000 NP. They can also gather food by going to [[Dailies]], visit the [[Healing Springs]] which will sometimes make a users active Neopet bloated, or complete an [[Earth Faerie]] [[Faerie Quest]] which will make a random Neopet bloated. Also, Jetsam can eat Aquatic Petpets and Grarrls and Skeiths can eat <em>any</em> non-food items, allowing a user to save Neopoints and other food items while feeding them items they don't want.

Unlike a Neopet's mood, hunger has a direct affect on how Neopets is played, because Neopets who are hungry (or not hungry, if it shows up red) cannot fight in the [[battledome]].  However, despite the name of the most desperate hunger level, dying, a Neopet cannot actually die of hunger.

==Neopet lookup==
Besides the species and colour of the Neopet, there are many other characteristics which can show the difference between each of them. Among all the statistics a Neopet can have, there are also those which can be raised in the [[Training School]] for use in the [[Battledome]]. Outside of the Battledome, these stats don't have much use, but as of late [[The Neopets Team]] have implemented a few of them into puzzle plots.

==Trivia==
*A user's Neopet would send its user an e-mail wishing them a happy birthday when the time came after January 27, 2000.
*Level 181 is the minimum level a Neopet must have to receive the rank "Too High to Count".
*Users could rate the look of another user's Neopet via a five star rating from their Neopets Lookup as of September 12, 2007.
*Users were given the option to send their own Neopet to another user on September 21, 2007.
*Since site update from [[Neopets 2.0]] and [[Neopets Customisation]], Neopets were unable to show emotions and other battledome poses as they were used to. This changed with an update on December 21, 2007, and a Neopet's facial expressions could show when they are happy, sad, angry, or sick.
*The most popular neopet is the Shoyru.
