'''The Tax Beast''' is a [[Neopian]] of unknown species (referred to as an "imp") who travels [[Neopia]] demanding "donations" from the citizens it meets. He appears as a [[Random Event]] and steals 10% of a user's total [[Neopoint]]s on hand, capable of stealing millions if a user isn't careful.  The Tax Beast Random Event was announced on 30 October 2002 and a Tax Beast High Score Table was created for it.
==Random Event==
There is one random event involving the Tax Beast:

|Text=Not been paying your bills eh? The Tax Beast arrives and takes 10% of your Neopoints away!

Users can challenge the Tax Beast after he steals 10% of their Neopoints.
After receiving this Random Event, the user will lose 10% of the Neopoints that they have on hand.  Neopoints that are stored in the [[National Neopian]] or a [[Shop]] till are not affected by this event.  The first time that a user receives this event, they will unlock the Tax Beast as a [[1-Player Challengers|one-player challenger]] in the [[Battledome]].
