'''Skeiths''' are the largest [[Neopet]]s of [[Neopia]]. They are quite strong but also lazy, preferring to get smaller creatures to do things for them. Skeiths are capable of eating anything, including weapons, furniture, [[Petpet]]s, [[Petpetpet]]s, [[codestone]]s, [[dubloon]]s and [[Paint Brush]]es. This makes it very easy to keep your Skeith well fed, as users can simple feed their Skeith items they wish to get rid of.

Resembling a type of dragon, the Skeith is adorned with spikes and wings. However, it's uncertain if these wings can support it in flight because of the large bulk.
The '''Skeith''' is a [[Wikipedia:Gargoyle|gargoyle]]- or [[Wikipedia:Dragon|dragon]]-like [[Neopet]], and one of the original 14 when [[Neopets]] began on November 15, 1999. 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]].  


==Trivia==
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. This makes it very easy to keep your Skeith well fed, as users can simply feed their Skeith items they wish to get rid of. Some Skeith have even [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=2&id=71 threatened] to eat other Neopets.
 
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.
 
The Skeith is adorned with spikes and wings, and while these wings can support a Skeith's weight, Skeiths do not appear particularly aerodynamic. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are typically associated with the element of Dark.
 
==Etymology==
Skeiths are [http://en.reddit.com/r/neopets/comments/1hhhii/bingo_borovan_is_confirmed_ask_him_anything/caujv3g/ named for] ''[[Neopets]]''' first artist Alex Skeith.


*Users who don't keep their Skeith well fed will lose items from their inventory, as their Skeith is eating them.
==Colours==
*Although Skeiths can eat anything, feeding them anything with the word ''cheese'' in its name causes the Skeith to come down with [[Neezles]].
Skeiths are currently available in the following [[colour]]s:
*In the [[Neopets TCG]], Skeiths are associated with the element of darkness.
*As of April 2006, the Skeith ranked 32nd in popularity among Neopets, with over 2 million created.
