A Meepit.

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 world domination and miscellaneous association with Dr. Sloth. This is spurred on by their consistent, unblinking stare that is often seen as unnerving.

This 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 Neopias perceived fears.

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