'''Buzz''' (singular: ''Buzz'') are a dragonfly-like species of [[Neopet]]. Buzz have excellent eyesight and can fly very quickly, allowing them to easily obtain the berries they love to eat, they are also known to be predatory despite having tiny teeth. They may look mean, but have kind personalities.
'''Buzz''' (singular and plural, [[wikipedia:onomatopoeia|onomatopoeia]] for the noise a wasp makes) are a [[wikipedia:wasp|wasp]]-like species of [[Neopet]]. They were introduced on 11 January 2000 as the Fleye (see [[#Old designs|below]]). They have excellent eyesight and are very acrobatic. Although they may [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=3&id=43 look mean], they are usually kind at heart.  


When first introduced on January 11, 2000, the pet now called the Buzz was called the '''Fleye''', which looked like a flying eyeball but was changed into reptilian insectoids on July 24, 2000. Despite a later makeover resulting in a rounder and more cuter version, many people still think they look unattractive. They are relatively rare in Neopia, and Buzz are more popular with male players.
Many farmers consider Buzz a menace, as they can fly to the top of trees and pick the plumpest fruit in the blink of an eye. Though predatory, they have [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=9&id=110 small teeth] and are [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=9&id=101 fond of fruit].


Buzz use their keen eyesight and acrobatic skills to help themselves to the tastiest wild berries and fruits, much to the dismay of the [[Neopian]] farmers. They can zoom to the top of the [[Tigersquash]] tree and pluck three plumpest fruits and whizz off in the blink of an eye.
In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of Dark.  


Extremely fast and energetic, this hardy Neopet uses its four wings to gain extreme momentum and speed very quickly. While it may look somewhat fierce, this Neopet will be content if given fruits and berries to nibble on and is quite friendly. Woe beholds any who dare attempt to hurt it or its friends however, as its lightning fast reflexes will shock the attacker before the attacker can even think of running away.

{{main|List of Neopet redesigns#Buzz}}
The Buzz was first introduced as the Fleye on 11 January 2000 as the result of a Christmas Pet Competition. The Fleye was an eyeball with wings, feet, and antennae, and can still be seen in an old [[Caption Competition]] and the original icon for the [[ability]] ''Flight''.  
 
The Fleye only lasted six months - it was replaced on 24 July that year with the first Buzz design, which was much more insectoid although ironically lost the antennae.
