{{PastFeatured}}
The Kiko is an amphibious Neopet resembling a floating sphere with eyes, mouth and two paddle-like clawed arms. A notable feature of Kikos is the bandage they sport on their heads - the exact purpose of the bandage is unknown. Their arms are the primary mode of transportation in the water enabling the Kiko to travel at high speeds. To move about on land, Kikos have the extraordinary ability to levitate in the air without any visible source of propulsion.

Kikos are an aquatic Neopet, and also one of the oldest on the site. As babies, they cannot leave the water for long periods of time, and they like to remain near it as adults. When older, the Kiko can pack a mean water pumped attack on any animal or object it views as a potential threat.  
The '''Kiko''' is an [[Wikipedia:Amphibian|amphibious]] [[Neopet]] and one of the original Neopets created on November 15, 1999. Kikos could originally be adopted at any time but became [[Limited Edition]] around the time Kiko Lake was introduced. A warning was given about the change on [http://www.neopets.com/nf.phtml?nf_date=2003-07-07 July 10, 2003], when 990,950 Kikos were created. Kikos come in a variety of colours, and are one of the few Neopets who can be painted in different food items, such as ''Chokato'' (with the [[Chia]]) and ''Garlic'', colours which come easily to the Kiko due its shape. They are also one of the of the few Neopets which have access to more than one [[Lab Ray]] exclusive colour, with ''Clay'' and ''Garlic'' (shared with the [[Jubjub]]).


Kikos come from [[Kiko Lake]], a mini world that can be accessed through the explore page. They were changed to a limited edition pet around the time their home world was introduced. Kikos come in colours only available to a few other species. They can be painted Clay and Garlic like the [[Jubjub]] and the only ones besides [[Chia]]s that come in Chokato.
Kikos come from [[Kiko Lake]] and other aquatic regions of [[Neopia]], capable of breathing underwater (though they can still travel on land). They have the appearance of a sphere, bearing only two arms. Their arms are used to travel in the water, enabling them to travel at high speeds. It is known from the official Neopets description that they are just as happy on land as in water, however, they dislike very dry places and need to be near water when young. To move about on land, Kikos bounce around like the [[Blumaroo]], but can also float in the air without any visible source of propulsion, similar to the [[Peophin]]. A notable feature of Kikos is the bandage they have on their head. How it came to be on the Kiko and what its purpose is unknown. Due to the similarity of a Kiko's appearance and a [[Wikipedia:Ball|rubber ball]], the patch could perhaps be a "quick fix", similar as to how people fixed air filled rubber balls in real life.
 
In the [[Neopets TCG|Neopets Trading Card Game]], Kikos are associated with the element of Water.
