The '''Turmaculus''' is a gigantic [[Turmac]] and the king of all [[Petpet]]s.  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''' 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==
==Waking the Turmaculus==
The Turmaculus serves as a [[daily]] for those users who have Petpets.  Waking Turmaculus will result in one of the following outcomes:
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:

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*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.
*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.
