The '''JubJub''' is a small [[Neopet]] reminiscent of a [[wikipedia:hedgehog|hedgehog]]. They were one of the original species available from [[Neopets]]' launch. The JubJubs' body is a ball of fur with no arms or hands, just a large pair of feet. Their feet have [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=3&id=9 opposable toes], which means they can still manipulate tools.

The '''JubJub''' is a [[Neopet]], and one of the original lineup of pets to adopt when [[Neopets]] went public. Throughout its varying colours, it is in essence a ball of fluff with a pair of orange feet. JubJubs are shy, secretive creatures who are scared easily, and prefer to keep to themselves. They aren't aggressive, but can defend themselves with a deafening screech when threatened. And while they are small, they can run or roll at an amazing speed.
The JubJub's design - a ball with feet - is similar to the [[Kiko]]'s design - a ball with arms. There are two [[colour]]s that only JubJubs and Kikos can be painted - [[Clay]] and [[Garlic]]. The JubJub is also the only Neopet that can be painted [[Coconut]], where they resemble some members of the [[Coco people]].


Because of their small size, they are often mistaken for plants and vegetables, and this confusion is made all the more difficult with the fact they can be painted into various food items: like garlic, strawbery etc. Also, even though they don't have any hands they make do with using their feet in place of their hands, which is an easy task with their opposable toes.
They are shy, unaggressive creatures who prefer to keep to themselves, but scare very easily. They can defend themselves with a deafening screech, and can curl up into a ball and flee at high speed. There are sixteen pieces of [[battledome equipment|equipment]] that can only be used by a JubJub.


It was questioned if [[Fuzzle]]s are baby versions of the JubJub, but this has been disproven in a [[Help File]], stating that Fuzzles are toys, and not Neopets.
In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], JubJubs are associated with the element of Air.  


The JubJub was originally called the '''JibJib''', and has since been renamed "JubJub" on August 23, 2000. It is believed the JubJub attained its current name from the beast called the ''JubJub Bird'' in the [[Wikipedia: Lewis Carroll|Lewis Carroll]] poem, [[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky|Jabberwocky]].
==Etymology==
The JubJub was originally called the ''JibJib'', and was [http://www.reddit.com/r/neopets/comments/638eii/our_jubjub_is_now_immortal/dfs5dii/?context=3 based on] the [http://www.fightingfantasygamebooks.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=670&Itemid=37 Jib Jib, a creature] from the [[wikipedia:Fighting Fantasy|Fighting Fantasy]] gamebook series.


==Overview==
It was renamed ''JubJub'' on 23 August, 2000. It shares its name with the [[wikipedia:Jubjub bird|Jubjub bird]] of [[Wikipedia: Lewis Carroll|Lewis Carroll]]'s poems [[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky|''Jabberwocky'']] and ''[[wikipedia:The Hunting of the Snark|The Hunting of the Snark]]''.  
The JubJub is like a creature called a "tribble", and it shares some colours with the Kiko.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*As of August 2009, JubJubs are placed 7th in popularity with over 10 million in existence in Neopia.
*On October 3, 2007, a [[Neovision]] Mini-Show was released, showing a yellow JubJub using many different [[Battledome Equipment]] items (notably the [[Battle Duck]], [[Little Timmys Slingshot|Little Timmy's Slingshot]], ''Bony Grarrl Club'', Sword Of Skardsen, [[Jhudora's Cloud|Wand of the Dark Faerie]], and Ghostkerbomb) using mechanical arms, a joke about how JubJubs do not have hands.
*A new look to the JubJub was given on June 6, 2006.
*Although they look similar, JubJubs are [http://www.neopets.com/help_search.phtml?help_id=300 not related] to [[Fuzzle]]s.
*In the [[Neopets TCG]], JubJubs are associated with the element of [[Air Faerie|Air]].
*On October 3, 2007, a [[Neovision]] Mini-Show was released, showing a yellow [[JubJub]] using many different [[Battledome Equipment]] items (notably the [[Battle Duck]], [[Little Timmys Slingshot|Little Timmy's Slingshot]], ''Bony Grarrl Club'', [[Sword Of Skardsen]], [[Illusen's Glade|Wand of the Dark Faerie]], and [[Ghostkerbomb]]) without any visiable hands, and use of mechanical ones, and obvious joke to the fact the JubJub has no hands.
*JubJubs are in no way related to [[Fuzzles]]. Fuzzles are NOT Baby JubJubs.
