The '''Turmaculus''' is a gigantic [[Turmac]] and the king of all [[Petpet]]s.  He was first introduced on September 4, 2002.  Legends say that the Turmaculus' gigantic appetite caused him to continuously eat and grow until he was so large that he could no longer move.  He can now be found in  [[Meridell]], where he sleeps 23 hours a day.
 
The Turmaculus serves as a [[daily]] for those users who have Petpets.  User can have their Petpets attempt to wake up the Turmaculus in order to earn exclusive [[items]], [[Neopoint]]s, and other prizes.  User should use caution while waking the Turmaculus, since he will occasionally eat a Petpet, causing it to disappear forever.
 
==Waking the Turmaculus==
The Turmaculus can only be woken up during one randomly-selected hour each day.  Users can attempt to wake up the Turmaculus outside of this time window; however, they will always fail in their attempt.  In order to wake up the Turmaculus, the user must first ensure that their active [[Neopet]] has an attached Petpet. Next, the user must select a method for awakening the Turmaculus from the available drop-down menu.  It is unknown if the selected method has any effect on the outcome of the awakening attempt.  There are ten available methods:
 
{{columns|
*Hit him with Stick
*Ring a Bell
*Kick Him
*Sing to Him
*Tap Dance for Him
*Blow Your Nose
*Sneeze
*Dump Cold Water on Him
*Scream
*Bang Pots and Pans
}}
 
If the user successfully awakens the Turmaculus, one of the following outcomes will occur:

'''Turmaculus''' is the king of all [[Petpet]]s. Legends speak of a Petpet who had a gigantic appetite. As he ate, he grew, and as he grew, he ate... until one day this colossal Petpet could not move any more.


It can be found in the Kingdom of [[Meridell]], sleeping 23 hours a day.  For one hour every day, your Petpet will be able to wake him. When awakened, the Turmaculus has been known to bestow items, healing, or even stats boosts. He has also been known to devour unfortunate Petpets.  As consolation for having a Petpet eaten, you will be given an [[avatar]].


Petpets that are eaten by the Turmaculus really have been eaten. They do not come back. Be aware of the consequences before approaching the king of Petpets.
===All Possible Items===
This table lists all of the items given out by the Turmaculus. These items are all exclusive to the Turmaculus and, as such, they are not sold in official [[Neopia]]n [[shop]]s:

==Better Than You==
Turmaculus has been a contestant on [[Better Than You]] four times:
 
{{BTY|November 8, 2007|It's a little known fact that, in his youth, the Turmaculus could roll like no other little Turmac. With all that energy expended, it's no surprise he's so tired these days. If you really want to wake him up it's suggested you challenge his old score. Oh look! That got a snort and a stomp of the foot from him... seems like you've gotten his attention. Good luck!|Turmac Roll|3,350|Turmaculus Action Figure}}
 
 
{{BTY|January 1, 2009|What's this? It looks like the Turmaculus is awake. He's stomping his foot and gesturing to that hilly area... perhaps we should follow? Ah ha! It looks like he's challenging us to a friendly match! Think you can beat the Turmaculus? If so, let's see what you got!|Turmac Roll|4,000|[[Faerie]] Berry Recipes}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*A gigantic version of the [[Turmac]].
*During the events of both the [[Champions of Meridell]] and the [[Battle for Meridell]], the Turmaculus was moved to a safer location, making him unavailable to users.  A large, Turmaculus-shaped patch of dirt could be seen at his normal resting spot at these times.
*In both of the Meridell Wars ([[Champions of Meridell]] and [[Battle for Meridell]]), the Turmaculus was stolen, leaving a large, Turmac-shaped ditch in its place.
