The '''Down for Maintenance Pteri''' is a [[Red]] [[Pteri]] and a [[1-Player Challengers|one-player challenger]] that users can fight in the [[Battledome]].  He is based off of an image of a Red Pteri that is shown when the [[Neopets|Neopets website]] is down for maintenance.

==History==
[[Image:Dfm screen.png|right|The "Down for Maintenance" screen features a Red Pteri.<small> [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/images/1/14/Dfm_screen.png See bigger]</small>|thumb]]
For many years, the screen that is displayed when the [[Neopets|Neopets website]] is unavailable has included generic, crying Red Pteri.  After awhile, users began to associate this Red Pteri with the frustration of not being able to access the website.  In [http://www.neopets.com/newnt/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=146 Editorial #146] of the [[Neopian Times]], Neopets user [http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=tonya1982 Tonya1982] asked [[TNT]] to make the "Neopets is Down For Maintenance Pteri" into a Battledome challenger so that Neopets users could "take their frustrations out on him".  [[TNT]] granted this request, and on July 27, 2004, the Down for Maintenance Pteri was released as an official Battledome challenger.<br style="clear:both"/>
