==Overview==
avatars r wut lame ppl collect okay
There are 56 default avatars which are provided to players automatically, depicting every [[Neopet]] and common [[Faerie]], but there are currently over 300 secret avatars which can be unlocked. To find these, users must perform tasks such as getting a high score at a flash game (Score 10,000+ points in [[Snow Wars II]]), visiting a particular page (View the [[Grey Faerie]]'s [[Neopedia]] article), or equipping their pet with a certain [[Battledome Equipment]] (own a [[Grarrl]] and equip it with '''Bony Grarrl Club'''). These are just a few ways to acquire them.


When certain items are needed for an avatar, it can boost the item's price considerably. Such an example is use of the [[Nerkmid]], making them almost [[unbuyable]] due to the large price. When [[item]]s used to get avatars can be reused (i.e. don't disappear), users can lend them out (for [[Wikipedia:Collateral (finance)|collateral]] or for free) so others can obtain the avatar without having to buy the item themselves. Some users do this with Neopets, as certain types of Neopets yield different avatars (different [[colour|colours]], the age of the Neopet or [[Petpet]] which is attached to it, etc.). Neopet lending is risky, as [[Pet Transfer|transferring]] a Neopet through the [[Neopian Pound]] does not guarantee it will reach the correct destination owner (though it is now much safer) and be returned to the original owner.

Avatar collecting is also a contest to some users, and a [http://www.neopets.com/gamescores.phtml?game_id=342 high score list] exists, giving an avatar itself for having the very top positions.
