 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]].
-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 simple 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==
-In the [[Battledome]], Skeiths are naturally resistant to earth, fire, and physical attacks, receiving 10% less damage from each. They can learn four species [[abilities]]:
