'''Petpets''' (sometimes ''PetPets'') are pets for a user's [[Neopet]]. A class of [[items]] created on September 27, 2000, they can be attached to a Neopet much like [[Battledome Equipment]]. Most Petpets can be purchased in official Neopian [[shops]], but some are gained only by other activities, such as using the [[Cooking Pot]].


'''Petpets''' are small creatures that serve as pets for [[Neopet]]s. They first appeared on the [[Neopets|Neopets website]] on September 27, 2000.  There are hundreds of different Petpet species in the world of [[Neopia]].
For a long time, Petpets could not be painted, but this was changed on October 2, 2001 with the introduction of the [[Petpet Paint Brush]], which is used at the [[Petpet Puddle]]. Later, on August 3, 2005, the [[Petpet Lab Ray]] was introduced. Like the Neopet [[Lab Ray]], the Petpet equivalent can alter a Petpet's [[colour]] and other statistics, such as species, level and name. The Petpet even has a chance of being completely destroyed.  


As explained in the [[Neopets: Petpet Adventures - The Wand of Wishing|Wand of Wishing game]], Petpets come from an alternate dimension know as [[Petaria]]. In this dimension, Petpets are capable of speaking, wearing clothes, and walking upright. There are entire Petpet-based societies in Petaria, with [[Petpet Park]] being one of the most well known. As seen during the [[Operation: Petpet Park]] [[event]], Petpets can enter Neopia from Petaria via magical portals. Petpets who enter Neopia lose their ability to speak and start acting in a more animal-like manner. 
A Petpet can also gain levels at the [[Petpet Battledome]] and by waking the [[Turmaculus]], but its levels will not be retained if the Petpet is ever removed from its Neopet. In turn, these levels can help the Neopet in the Battledome, acting as an [http://idb.finalhit.org/?searchtype=page&page=articles&a_id=89 attack multiplier].  


On the [[Neopets|Neopets website]] Petpets are class of [[item]]s that can be attached to Neopets.  Each Neopet can only have one Petpet attached to them at a time.  Users can attach a Petpet to their Neopet by clicking on the desired Petpet in their [[inventory]] and then selecting the ''Give pet to...'' option from the resulting drop-down menu.  Users can visit an attached Petpet by clicking on its picture on the [http://www.neopets.com/quickref.phtml Quick Reference page].  Doing this will take the user to a page where they can rename their Petpet, talk to it, or remove it.  This page also displays the Petpet's level and how many days it has been attached to its current Neopet.
There are also [[Petpetpet]]s, parasites that live on Petpets, which are a pet to the Petpet.


==Petpet Activities==
==Petpet types==
There are many activities that users can do with their Petpets on the Neopets website.  Users can fight their Petpets against computer controlled challengers in the [[game]] [[Petpet Battles]]. They can also use their Petpets to gather treasure by sending them into the [[Mysterious Symol Hole]] or the [[Grave Danger]] catacombs. Users can have their Petpets wake up the [[Turmaculus]], or they can take their Petpets to the [[Petpet Lab Ray]].  Each user that has a Petpet is also qualified to win the [[Petpet Protection League]] award.
===Original===
The original Petpets come from [[The Neopian Petpet Shop]] in [[Neopian Central]]. They didn't fall any theme as do other Petpets, and were therefore capable of having many varying themes, including the [[Spyder]], which is thought to be a Spooky Petpet.


==Obtaining Petpets==
===Robot Petpet===
While most Petpets can be purchased from official Neopian [[shop]]s, some of them can only be earned by participating in certain activities on the Neopets website.  For example, there are some Petpets that can only be obtained by combining items at the [[Cooking Pot]] or at [[Tangor's Workshop]].  Other Petpets can only be obtained by using the [[Petpet Lab Ray]].  There are a handful of Petpets that are only available in [[Newbie Pack]]s, and some Petpets are exclusive prizes given out during the  various [[plot]]s and [[event]]s that happen around Neopia.  Most Petpets are also tradable, meaning that they can be purchased from other users using the [[Auction House]], [[Trading Post]], or user shops.
Robot Petpets are bought at [[The RoboPet Shop]] in the [[Virtupets Space Station]].


==Petpet Colours==
===Aquatic Petpet===
{{main|Colour}}
Aquatic Petpets are bought at [[The Rock Pool]] of [[Mystery Island]]. Orginially could be bought in [[Maraqua]] before its destruction, but the surviving petpets escaped and have since been sold at Mystery Island.
Since October 2, 2001, users have been able to change the [[colour]] of their Petpets.  Users can change the colour of their Petpet by using an appropriate [[Paint Brush]] at the [[The Rainbow Pool#Petpet Puddle|Petpet Puddle]].  Since Petpets are items, changing the colour of a Petpet changes it into a different item.  For example, changing the colour of a [[Babaa]] to [[Blue]] will causes the affected ''Babaa'' item to become a ''Blue Babaa'' item.  In order to change a coloured Petpet back into its original form, users have to change the colour of the Petpet back to the ''default'' colour of its species. For example, to change the aforementioned ''Blue Babaa'' item back into a ''Babaa'' item, the user would have to change to the colour of the Babaa back to [[White]], which is the default colour for the Babaa species.


The [[Petpet Lab Ray]] can also change the colour of a Petpet; however, the Petpet will return to its original form when it is removed from its Neopet.
===Spooky Petpet===
Spooky Petpets are sold at [[Spooky Pets!]] of [[The Haunted Woods]]. They are themed to be scarier than other petpets.
