Over the years, many [[Neopet (species)|Neopet]]s have changed both name and form as the drawing techniques and styles of [[The Neopets Team]] developed. Most references to their previous incarnations have been removed from the website, but some still exist in past [[Caption Competition]]s and New Feature pages. | Over the years, many [[Neopet (species)|Neopet]]s have changed both name and form as the drawing techniques and styles of [[The Neopets Team]] developed.

- This article is about Neopets redesigns. For Petpet redesigns, please refer to List of Petpet redesigns.
Over the years, many Neopets have changed both name and form as the drawing techniques and styles of The Neopets Team developed. Most references to their previous incarnations have been removed from the website, but some still exist in past Caption Competitions and New Feature pages.
Name Changes
Some species of Neopets have undergone name changes (usually along with a visual redesign) since they were first officially named. The dates for these changes are still being researched:
- Tigren to Acara - July 19, 2000
- Fleye to Buzz - July 24, 2000
- Cerpull to Tatsu - July 13, 2000 - to Eyrie - January 26, 2001
- Polypup to Gelert - July 18, 2000
- JibJib to JubJub - August 23, 2000
- Badeek to Kacheek - July 19, 2000
- Macy Gray to Kau - July 26, 2000
- Fuzio to Kyrii - February 9, 2001
- Mellish to Mynci - June 29, 2000
- Frogstomp to Quiggle - July 25, 2000
- Mok to Lutari - April 19, 2006
- Llamameeah to Gnorbu - January 6, 2006
General Changes
- Soft, shiny shading was replaced by "shadowed", real-life shading to give the pets a more realistic look, to make the pets look actually real and not just look like they were cut out of pieces of shiny, soft patterned paper.
- More expression was added to the faces of many of the pets.
Visual Changes
This section tells what happened to the visual alterations to the images of Neopets, that is, changes in their anatomy rather than their pose. For simplicity, their modern names are used to refer to the pets: for their contemporary equivalents please see above.
Acara
Changes occurred on July 19, 2000, October 31, 2000, February 14, 2001, and June 27, 2005.

- The twin horns developed from hair tufts.
- The paws developed distinct three toes.
- The mouth became less cat-like.
- The tail was lost.
- The Acara shaped into a fur ball, however got gorilla legs later, and later became a "sea-goat cat".
Aisha
- Characteristic dark areas around the eyes were added.
- The ears stopped pointing in opposite directions, and pointed in the same direction.
- The tiny triangle-shaped name-tag on the collar was changed to the shape of a capital "A".
- The second redesign saw the dark eye areas slightly grow.
- The head also grew in proportion to the body.
Bruce
- The shape of the Bruce changed from an aged photo of Bruce Forsyth to a cartoon of him, then to a penguin.
- The bow-tie was retained.
- The legs disappeared and the feet became directly attached to the body.
- The Bruce got a slimmer look and obtained a large, frilly ribbon where the bow-tie was.
Buzz

Eyrie
Changes occurred on July 13, 2000 and January 26, 2001.
- The nose-horn was removed.
- The other horns were also removed and replaced with the Eyrie's distinctive ears, in an effort to make it more "griffin-like".
