Green Lenny as of June 19, 2006.

The Lenny is a bird-like Neopet similar to the Stork or Flamingo (and Peafowl when coloured Faerie), released on (need date).

Overview

One of the original Neopets released on the site, the Lenny is a highly intelligent and curious bird and perhaps Neopia's most intelligent species alongside Aishas, as made apparent by such Lennies as the Conundrum Lenny and Finneus. They can master many forms of magic and use their cunning to outwit any opponent. Lennies can fly, but their wings can only carry them short distances, and usually only to a hover. Despite the fact they have been around since the creation of Neopets, they are the least popular Neopet not Limited Edition and have a smaller growth ratio in comparison to even newer Neopets.
