You need a certain item for many avatars, and a lot of users lend their items or even pets out (for [[collateral]] or for free) so others can obtain the avatar without having to buy and sell the item, or paint a pet.

Avatars are graphic icons (sized 50 by 50 pixels) which are displayed next to your username when you send a NeoMail or post a message in the NeoBoards. You can change you avatar by going to the NeoBoards and clicking Chat Prefrences.

There are 56 default avatars which are provided to players automatically, but there are currently over 300 secret avatars that can be unlocked. To find these, users must perform tasks such as getting a high score at a flash game (Score 10,000+ points in Snow Wars II), visiting a particular page (View the Grey Faerie's Neopedia article), or equipping their pet with a special weapon (own a Grarrl and equip it with a Bony Grarrl Club). These are just a few ways to acquire them.

Some avatars may be very costly, such as using a Nerkmid, making them almost unbuyable due to the large price. Where items can get a user an avatar and be reused, many users lend them out (for collateral or for free) so others can obtain the avatar without having to buy and sell the item which could be very costly, especially where demand for avatars has boosted an item's price considerably.

Some users do the same with pets, be it for the pets paint colour or an "aged" Petpet which is attached to it. Pet lending is risky, as transferring a pet through the Neopian Pound does not guarantee it will reach the correct destination owner and be returned to the original owner.

There is a high score list, listing the users with the most avatars here.
