As one of the largest Neopets of [[Neopia]], they are quite strong but also lazy, preferring to get smaller creatures to do things for them. As is the case with several myths about dragons ([[Wikipedia:Fafnir|Fafnir]] or [[Wikipedia:The Dragon (Beowulf)|the dragon in Beowulf]]), Skeiths often hoard or guard treasure - for example, tax collector [[Gordos]], the [[National Neopian]] [[bank manager]], or [[Meridell]] treasurer [[Snargan]]. | ||
Skeiths are capable of eating anything, including [[furniture]], [[Petpet]]s, [[Petpetpet]]s, [[codestone]]s, [[dubloon]]s and [[Paint Brush]]es, an ability which only Skeiths and [[Grarrl]]s have.

Although Skeiths are typically depicted as greedy, they don't require their owner to feed them any more regularly than any other Neopet. However, when a Skeith is hungry and its owner visits the [[Quick Ref]] page, it may snatch and consume an item from the user's [[inventory]]. When it does this, it becomes bloated. While they can eat anything, Skeiths come down with [[Disease|Neezles]] when fed anything with the word ''cheese'' in the name. | Although Skeiths are typically depicted as greedy, they don't require their owner to feed them any more regularly than any other Neopet.
