'''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]].
[[image:Petpetpets.PNG|frame|Just a few of the Petpetpets available]]


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.  
A '''Petpetpet''' is a very tiny [[Wikipedia:Insect|insect]]-like creature which acts as a [[Wikipedia:Parasitism|parasite]] or pet (depending on the Petpetpet) to [[Petpet]]s. The first Petpetpets were released on June 11, 2003.


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 attack multiplier.  
==Overview==
Petpetpets take many different shapes, the majority of which bear strong resemblance to real insects. All of them use the body of their Petpet master as a home, and some even use it as a food source.


There are also [[Petpetpet]]s, parasites that live on Petpets, which are a pet to the Petpet.
In [[Neopets (website)|Neopets]], Petpetpets are usually expensive, and are often viewed as a status symbol. Their high price is due to the fact that they will only appear from a rare [[Random Event]], in which a random Petpet attached to one of the user's [[Neopet]]s catches one and brings it back to their owner in its mouth. Because of how easy it is to lose the Petpetpet from the user's inventory (see explanation in "How to attach" below), keeping a Petpetpet from the Random Event is difficult. However, once a Petpetpet is attached to a Petpet, it is attached for good. The only way that a Petpetpet can be removed from a Petpet is if the user removes the Petpet from their Neopet, in which case the Petpetpet attached will simply vanish.

===Cooking Pot Petpets===
:''Petpetpets marked with an * are announced, searchable and featured in either a game or various items, but no one appears to have them, making it unclear whether they are obtainable or not.''
Some petpets can be obtained by using the [[Cooking Pot]]


As of September 2008 there are 25 cooking pot petpets
==How to attach==
Once obtained, a Petpetpet can attach itself to a Petpet by the following means:

*The Petpetpet is in their inventory.

===Lab-ray only Petpets===
Assuming the disappearance was not the fault of the [[Pant Devil]] or a similar Random Event-thief, the Petpetpet should now be attached to the Petpet of the users active Neopet. If a user wants to remove the Petpetpet, all they need to do is unequip the Petpet, which is achieved by clicking on the Petpet on the user's [http://www.neopets.com/quickref.phtml Quick Ref] page and selecting "Stop Playing with ''(Petpet's name)''." The Petpetpet will then be gone, with no way of retrieving it.
As of September 2008 there are 9 Lab-Ray only Petpets:


{|align=center
==Plot appearances==
|-valign=top
Due to being small, Petpetpets don't play very big roles in [[plot]]s, but they have been known to make appearances all the same. In [[The Tale of Woe]], a few Petpetpets could be found in dug up graves (only as art, not as prize/real item) during the gravedigging of plot completion. In [[Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing]], Petpetpets were used to give bonuses to stats. In [[Journey to the Lost Isle]], Petpetpets played a much bigger role, being the giant, [[mutant]] monsters the explorers faced during their stay on the island. Some were hostile, having to be fought in order for the explorers to escape, and others where either herbivores or only attacked when felt threatened.

==Petpet Spotlight==
Two images of unreleased Petpetpets can be found in Neopets' image database. It can be concluded from their image URL they have been created either at the same time as the [[Mootix]], [[Breebly]], [[Cooty]] and [[Vernax]], or shortly thereafter. Exactly what they are is unknown. They could be rejected designs from the early Petpetpet creation stages or "joke items" (much like the items from July 22, 2006) which [[The Neopets Team]] eventually decided not to release. Oddly though, the Petpetpet resembling a plucked bird was the first Petpetpet to ever appear in [http://www.neopets.com/games/caption/caption_archive.phtml?place=303 a picture] of the [[Caption Competition]].
The Petpet Spotlight is a contest held weekly or so that involves a neopet user to draw a picture of their petpet with a description and submit it.


==Petpet Protection League==
<br clear=all>
:''Main Article: [[Petpet Protection League]]''


The '''Petpet Protection League''' (''PPL'' for short) is a group of [[Neopian]]s who reward [[Neopet]]s for taking good care of their [[Petpet]]. Each week they select a random species of Petpet and reward users whose Neopets have had them for the longest by paying 10 [[Neopoints]] for every day they have been owned. Users who have the oldest of the selected species receive a [[Trophy]] as well.
==Trivia==
{|align=right
|[[image:moach.gif|right|frame|Moach avatar]] || [[image:mootix.gif|right|frame|Mootix avatar]]
|}


Neopets who take their Petpet to the [[Treasure_Maps#Petpet_Laboratory|Petpet Laboratory]] are not counted in the PPL, as it's viewed as a form of cruelty against Petpets.
*As of May 31, 2007, there are two [[Avatars]] dedicated to Petpetpets. The first is the ''Mootix'' avatar, obtained by attaching a Mootix to your Petpet. The second is the ''Moach'' avatar (May 23, 2005), obtained by viewing the pet lookup of a pet with a Moach attached to its Petpet.
*As of May 31, 2007, there are 82 Petpetpet related [[item]]s.
*November 12, 2003 was themed ''Mootix Day''.
*April 18, 2007 was themed ''Creepy Crawly Day'' and was (mainly) dedicated to Petpetpets.

Just a few of the Petpetpets available

A Petpetpet is a very tiny insect-like creature which acts as a parasite or pet (depending on the Petpetpet) to Petpets. The first Petpetpets were released on June 11, 2003.

Overview

Petpetpets take many different shapes, the majority of which bear strong resemblance to real insects. All of them use the body of their Petpet master as a home, and some even use it as a food source.

In Neopets, Petpetpets are usually expensive, and are often viewed as a status symbol. Their high price is due to the fact that they will only appear from a rare Random Event, in which a random Petpet attached to one of the user's Neopets catches one and brings it back to their owner in its mouth. Because of how easy it is to lose the Petpetpet from the user's inventory (see explanation in "How to attach" below), keeping a Petpetpet from the Random Event is difficult. However, once a Petpetpet is attached to a Petpet, it is attached for good. The only way that a Petpetpet can be removed from a Petpet is if the user removes the Petpet from their Neopet, in which case the Petpetpet attached will simply vanish.

List of Petpetpets

As of October 2008, 36 different Petpetpets have been released...

Petpetpets marked with an * are announced, searchable and featured in either a game or various items, but no one appears to have them, making it unclear whether they are obtainable or not.

How to attach

Once obtained, a Petpetpet can attach itself to a Petpet by the following means:

  • The Petpet which will become the host of the Petpetpet which is attached to the users active Neopet.
  • The Petpetpet is in their inventory.
  • Refresh the inventory until the Petpetpet disappears.

Assuming the disappearance was not the fault of the Pant Devil or a similar Random Event-thief, the Petpetpet should now be attached to the Petpet of the users active Neopet. If a user wants to remove the Petpetpet, all they need to do is unequip the Petpet, which is achieved by clicking on the Petpet on the user's Quick Ref page and selecting "Stop Playing with (Petpet's name)." The Petpetpet will then be gone, with no way of retrieving it.

Plot appearances

Due to being small, Petpetpets don't play very big roles in plots, but they have been known to make appearances all the same. In The Tale of Woe, a few Petpetpets could be found in dug up graves (only as art, not as prize/real item) during the gravedigging of plot completion. In Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing, Petpetpets were used to give bonuses to stats. In Journey to the Lost Isle, Petpetpets played a much bigger role, being the giant, mutant monsters the explorers faced during their stay on the island. Some were hostile, having to be fought in order for the explorers to escape, and others where either herbivores or only attacked when felt threatened.

Rejected Petpetpets

Two images of unreleased Petpetpets can be found in Neopets' image database. It can be concluded from their image URL they have been created either at the same time as the Mootix, Breebly, Cooty and Vernax, or shortly thereafter. Exactly what they are is unknown. They could be rejected designs from the early Petpetpet creation stages or "joke items" (much like the items from July 22, 2006) which The Neopets Team eventually decided not to release. Oddly though, the Petpetpet resembling a plucked bird was the first Petpetpet to ever appear in a picture of the Caption Competition.


Trivia
