The '''Zafara''' is a [[Wikipedia:Kangaroo|kangaroo]]-like [[Neopet]] released on May 25, 2000 as the winner of a player-submitted Neopet competition. Zafaras originally resembled a cross between a [[Wikipedia:Ferret|ferret]] and a [[Wikipedia:Chinese dragon|Chinese dragon]], but were later redesigned on February 27, 2001. They are now crosses between a Kangaroo and a rabbit.

==Overview==
The Zafara is said to bring good luck to those who treat them well. According to a Neopet profiles [http://images.neopets.com/screensavers/profiles.exe screensaver], Zafaras are some of the most sensitive and artistic inhabitants of Neopia. Most Zafaras spend a lot of time playing alone when young, but often grow up to be famous musicians, painters and poets.

Zafaras primarily have three spikes on their back, but this changes in accordance with different colours and characters. According to the information on an old default Zafara [[petpage]], these spikes were protective fins and used for defence. Zafaras have an incredible hearing range, but they do not have a good sense of smell. Due to their powerful hind legs, the Zafara has a jumping ability unlike other Neopets. Zafaras have an innate ability to create fire (possibly a reference to their original dragonlike appearance) as made apparent with their level 2 [[Battledome]] ability ''Zafara Flame''. 

==Colours==
As of February 2009, Zafaras come in 47 different [[The Rainbow Pool|colours]]:
