The '''Flotsam''' (from ''[[wiktionary:flotsam|flotsam]]'', floating wreckage of a ship) is an aquatic [[Neopet]] similar to the [[Wikipedia:Dolphin|dolphin]]. Released at the beginning of Neopets on 15 November 1999. The Flotsam originally resembled a [[Wikipedia:Goldfish|Goldfish]], but was changed to its current design on 22 June 2000, subject to a few later design changes. Their name refers to cargo that was accidentally lost at sea.

Flotsam enjoy swimming in the oceans and rivers of [[Neopia]], but they can move just as well on land if they need to. They are quick, and can sense danger by studying the temperature of waters and the movement in the clouds. They are comfortable in tropical or the coldest of climates. Without gills, Flotsam [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=7&id=22 must] come back to the surface in order to breath.
 
Flotsam became [[Limited Edition]] on 3 March 2001, due to the fact they were hunted by [[Jetsam]] as food. The decrease in the Flotsam population had a direct effect on the Jetsam who now did not have enough food to sustain their large numbers. As a result, Jetsam replaced the Flotsam on the list of limited edition species on 17 May 2001.
 
In the [[Neopets TCG|Neopets Trading Card Game]], Flotsam are associated with the element of water.

They are quick, and can sense danger by studying the temperature of waters and the movement in the clouds. And even in the coldest of climates, they always find a way to have fun. Flotsam do not have the ability to breath underwater.
