'''The Tyrannian Invasion''' (20 March - 11 May 2001) was a [[plot]] involving the discovery of [[Tyrannia]] and the first war in which players themselves could fight in the [[Battledome]] for the safety of [[Neopia]].


==Plot summary==

On 20 March 2001, [[Neopia]] was hit by an earthquake that cracked a chasm into floor of the [[Ice Caves]]. The next day, Neopians ventured into the darkness of the chasm, and found that it linked into a tunnel. The deeper the explorers went, the warmer and dryer it became, and roots of strange plants began to cover the walls of the tunnel. A mile deep into the the tunnel and the roots and vines are too dense for anyone to proceed, until a then unknown Neopet the [[Chomby]] began to [http://www.neopets.com/prehistoric/deadend.phtml eat at the vegetation], opening up the way to [[Tyrannia]], a prehistoric land.


The next day, Chombies began to wander out of Tyrannia into all of Neopia, allowing users to adopt them, and the shop [[Tyrannian Foods]] was opened as well. Over the coming weeks, many new games and features would open up in Tyrannia:

===The Invasion===

The Council of Elders ([[Kyruggi]], [[Grarrg]], [[Tekel]], [[Plesio]], [[Sabre-X]] and [[Myncha]]) were also available to visit from 27 March. Three days later, Myncha returned from a scouting mission in the mud flats north of the Plateau and reported evil looking creatures slowly headed towards Tyrannia. Grarrg called for a town meeting on 5 April to recruit for the Tyrannian Army.
 
On the 25th, a loud voice echoed across Tyrannia and appeared to every player over the Battledome Events marquee - ''"The [[Monoceraptor]] will crush your puny Tyrannia!"''. The invasion began the next day, when thousands of [[Korbat Scout]]s and later [[Korbat Leader]]s began to swarm and pillage Tyrannia. An [http://www.neopets.com/prehistoric/armytent.phtml army tent] (dead link) was set up to co-ordinate the Tyrannian defence, of which Neopians around Neopia could join in. After their defeat, they were joined by the stronger [[Grarrl Trooper]]s and [[Skeith Invader]]s on 2 May, and were joined the next day with the [[Chia Bomber]]s, equipped with mud-slinging bazookas.
 
And then on 7 May, the invaders were joined by 10,000 [[Fire Grarrl]]s, followed by a swarm of 1,000 [[Tyrannian Buzz]] the next day, and then 350 [[Grarrl Battlemasters]] the day after that. The Monoceraptor's army seemed to be winning, and Tyrannia would be destroyed. To help the war effort, [[Kauvara]] permanently halved all the prices of the healing potions in her shop. A message was also received from someone or something calling himself the Monoceraptor, saying, ''"I WILL ARRIVE TOMORROW AND CARVE UP YOUR PUNY TYRANNIA. YOU HAD BETTER BE READY FOR ME."''.
 
By 10 May, all 350 [[Grarrl]] Battlemasters had been defeated, leaving an eerie silence hanging over Tyrannia, the calm before the storm.
 
In anticipation of the Monoceraptor's arrival, Kauvara donated free Healing Potions at the [[Money Tree]] for the rest of the day. Finally, the colossal Monoceraptor arrived, and all the Neopian warriors had to combine forces to defeat him. The killing blow was landed by a single heroic [[Lupe]], and as it fell to the ground a slow, rasping voice could be heard across the whole of Tyrannia, saying, "''That puny creature of mine has failed...but Neopia has not yet seen the last of me...I will return...oh yes...I will return."''
 
The Monoceraptor's claws were later salvaged and sold from the [[Hidden Tower]] as weapons.

The War Prizes were awarded on 11th May, 2001, with considerably less variety then that which would, in later wars, become the norm. Everybody who participated was rewarded with 10,000 [[NP]], provided they had beaten at least one enemy. The owner of the Neopet who first won against the [[Monoceraptor]] (who was only described as a "brave Lupe") was awarded 1,000,000 NP and "an item of his choice".


Users were also given a [[Trophy]] on their [[User Lookup]], showing how many battles they won and their title.

==Trivia==
*The war came out days after [[The Neopets Team]] introduced the One Player [[Battledome]] on the April 20, 2001, presumably to promote and test the new system before the invasion of April 26.
*The One Player Battledome History was introduced as a result of this war, along with the current front page design of the Battledome.
*The Grarrl Battlemaster and Monoceraptor were added to the [[Gallery of Evil]] on May 11, 2006, for their actions in the Invasion, but have since been taken out.
*Seven [[plushies]] were created after the war for Neopets to "Relive the great Tyrannian battle".
*Despite the fact the Monoceraptor was defeated on May 10, 2001, [http://www.neopets.com/prehistoric/village.phtml Tyrammet Village] is to date still celebrating his defeat.
*All of the opponents are cards in [[Neodeck]].
