The '''Meepit''' is a [[Spooky Petpet]] released on August 30, 2001 with large unblinking black eyes, short front limbs, stout bodies, and large hind feet. 

Despite their innocuous appearance, they have developed a reputation for being members of a large, malevolent circle with various postulated aims - including [[Neopia|world domination]] and miscellaneous association with [[Dr. Sloth]]. This is spurred on by their consistent, unblinking stare that is often seen as unnerving.

This [[Wikipedia:Fear, uncertainty and doubt|perceived threat]] is likely intended to comically make up for their otherwise not scary appearance - on the face of it, a wide eyed, short-armed pink body is not typical of malevolent monsters. 

However, the Meepit was originally introduced on October 15, 2001 in [[NeoQuest I]], as the members of a tribe of beasts called ''Pygmies''. In the [[game]], the ferocious creatures took over a research centre in Ancient Neopia, which eventually became know as the [[Jungle Ruins]]. Their portrayal as vicious creatures here may be the source of [[Neopia]]s perceived fears.

The Meepit has a rarity of 98, making it a very rare and expensive Petpet, costing as low as 1.5 million [[Neopoint]]s at the [[Trading Post]] as of October 2006. It can also be combined with 2 different [[item]]s at at the [[Cooking Pot]]: with the '''Fishing [[Kiko]] Gnome''' a '''Fishing Meepit Statue''' is created, and with [[Roburg 3T3]] a [[Romeep 3t3]].

==Plot Summary==
===NeoQuest I===
:''Main Article: [[NeoQuest I]]''
{{spoiler}}
Years before the [[NeoQuest Hero]] appeared, pygmy tribes were taken to the research centre (which would become the Jungle Ruins), and lived in the jungle surrounding it. they were peaceful at first, but become violent, and were held back until [[Rollay Scaleback]] struck a deal with [[Kreai]] to help him overthrow his masters. The pygmies helped and eventually betrayed him, and have made the ruins of the research center their home.
The hero has to fight with 8 types of pygmies: vulgar pygmy, shaman, greater shaman, pygmy chief, pygmy warrior, pygmy sage, pygmy elder and a skeletal shaman.

-Ghost Meepits were central to the task of locating [[Ilere]]'s home deep in the Haunted Woods. Users had to navigate their way through a maze of trees collecting all seven Meepits by feeding them Ghost Meepit Juice. After locating Ilere's front door, the Meepits had to be arranged on the spots of light until all seven started to dance. This would open the door and conclude the plot step.
