The '''Ruki''' is an [[wikipedia:insect|insect]]-like [[Neopet]] resembling a [[Wikipedia:Praying mantis|praying mantis]] released on July 29, 2004.  Like all insects, Rukis have antennae and 3-part bodies divided into the head, thorax, and abdomen. Unlike insects which have [[wikipedia:Eye#Compound_eyes|compound eyes]], Rukis possess vertebrate eyes complete with sclera, iris, and pupil. They have six limbs: four attached to the abdomen, and two to the thorax which have been adapted for use as arms, ending in three finger-like pincers.

Originating from the [[Lost Desert]], Rukis have [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=8&id=21 adapted] to the hot climate of the desert. Their outer armour protects them from the sun and also enables them to [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=8&id=72 travel] great distances, even in broad daylight, without getting tired. They were the 48th species to be created, and became Limited Edition on 15 November 2014.

In the [[Neopets TCG|Neopets Trading Card Game]], Rukis are associated with the element of Light.
