The '''Xweetok''' is a [[Wikipedia:Chipmunk|chipmunk]]-like [[Neopet]] released on November 30, 2005. Originating from the forests of [[Neopia]], they make their homes in hollowed out trees and logs, and are quite agile. Xweetoks enjoy being chased, and often indulge in games such as 'Tag' or 'Hide 'n' Seek' with others of its species.  It has small claws on the tips of its paws, allowing it to climb steep crevices that seem difficult to other species.

The Xweetok was newly added to the website rather unexpectedly, and came with mixed reactions. Many members enjoyed it due to its likeness to real-life creatures, but with a Neopets-esque, coy look. Others disliked it due to the similarity to the [[Wocky]] and [[Acara]]. Still others thought that it was poorly drawn, and with people still holding their breath for the [[April Fool's]] pet and the [[Lutari]], many found it annoying Neopets had made two new pets (The other being the [[Ogrin]]) while they were waiting.

Still, the Xweetok is popular, especially with younger players who are glad to get a cute-looking pet without having to buy a [[Paint Brush]]. Others love its [[Mutant]] look, which turns it into a [[Wikipedia:Rat|rat]]-like creature.
