The '''Mynci''' is one of many different species that exist in [[Neopia]]. As a general rule Myncies are mischievous and cheeky, loving nothing more than playing pranks on other Neopets. A lovable creature and quite fun to have as a pet. Their agility and balance helps the Mynci to fly high gathering foods from the trees and high plains.

The '''Mynci''' (from [[wikipedia:Welsh|Welsh]] ''[[wiktionary:mwnci|mwnci]]'', ''monkey'') is [[wikipedia:monkey|monkey]]-like [[Neopet]] that was introduced at [[Neopets|the site]]'s founding as the ''Mellish'' (see [[Mynci#Old designs|below]]). They are natural acrobats: agile with good balance, they can swing from trees and [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=1&id=164 dangle] from their tails to get at the [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=5&id=51 tastiest fruit].

Amongst the four basic colours, as well as the colours [[Pink]], [[Spotted]], [[Starry]], and [[White]], the Mynci's face, ears, and belly remain unchanged while their fur is recoloured.

They are mischievous Neopets who love to play pranks on others. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of earth.
