The '''Quiggle''' is a toad like [[Neopet]]. They are shorter, stouter amphibians in comparison to the tall and lanky [[Nimmo]].

Quiggles are one of many different species that exist in Neopia. As a general rule Quiggles are lively and fun to be around. They have a natural love of water and often build their Neohomes near ponds and rivers.
The '''Quiggle''' is a [[wikipedia:frog|frog]]-like [[Neopet]] introduced on 19 April 2000 as the '''Frogstomp''' following a Create-a-Pet competition. It was renamed the Quiggle on 25 July 2000 in conjunction with an art update.  


According to the species summary pop-up, ''Quiggles are happy-go-lucky characters who love to spend all day splashing around in ponds and puddles. Quiggles enjoy eating fresh vegetables and always have a large stock of carrots, broccoli, and asparagus nearby.''
Quiggles have three toes on each foot and four fingers on each hand a large mouth, and round, protruding eyes. They have two stripes going across their back. They are short and stout, unlike [[Nimmos]]. Their first design only had three fingers on each hand.


The physical features of Quiggles include disproportionately large feet, and hands much smaller compared to their feet. Feature four fingers, while their feet have only three toes. Each finger and toe terminates in a circular bobble, adding to the Quiggle's stout appearance. Final touches on the Quiggle design include two hairs on the top of the head, and the wide-set crossed eyes.
They are carefree Neopets who like to be around water - they love to spend all day splashing around in puddles and will often build their [[NeoHomes]] around rivers or ponds. They like eating fresh vegetables like carrot, broccoli, and [[asparagus]], as typified by [[Quinton]] the [[Health Food Shop]]keeper.  


Overall, the Quiggle gives the appearance of being fun and silly, which is perhaps why [[The Neopets Team]] has chosen them to be the ''joke'' Neopet on many occasions. The famous Quiguki April Fools joke (see below) is a prime example, but they were also featured in the [[Altador Plot]] as the president of all the clubs that were not joinable (see [[Old Man Withers]]).
The squat Quiggle, with its big grin and often [[wikipedia:strabismus|crossed eyes]], is commonly used for [[wikipedia:comic relief|comic relief]], such as in the [[Quiguki]] [[toy]]s and [[April Fool's]] joke; and [[Old Man Withers]] of the [[Altador Plot]].  


==Quigukis==
Quiggles will become ill with [[Neezles]] if they are fed any ''cream'' item. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of Water.
[[Quiguki]]s are the malformed versions of the [[Usuki]] doll. As an [[April Fool's]] joke, Neopets claimed the next plot would revolve around Quigukis and their fight against Zombom. There was even mention of a [[Neopets TCG]] expansion.
