This is spurred on by their consistent, unblinking stare that is often seen as unnerving. | ||

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 known 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 around 3 million [[Neopoint|Neopoints]] at the [[Trading Post]] as of June 2007. 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]]. | |||

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. | |||
