The '''Acara''' is a [[wikipedia:cat|cat]]-like aquatic [[Neopet]] that lives mainly on the beach and is able to breathe underwater. Their thick fur is used to keep them warm in the depths of the sea.
The '''Acara''' is a species of [[Neopet]] that loves to live by the sea. They are [[wikipedia:Amphibians|amphibious]] - they can [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=1&id=170 breath in water or on land] - although having fur like [[wikipedia:mammals|mammals]]. They have two horn-like protrusions on their heads that allow them to hear well underwater, and their thick coat of fur keeps them warm.  


==Overview==
Its name may come from two species of [[wikipedia:cichlid|cichlid]]s - a family of freshwater fish - the [[wikipedia:blue acara|blue acara]] and the [[wikipedia:zebra acara|zebra acara]].
Acaras are [[wikipedia:Amphibians|amphibious]] and can breathe underwater, and it is sometimes hinted that the horns somehow give the Acara the ability to [[wikipedia:Animal echolocation|echolocate]] when in water. As a general rule Acaras are fantastic swimmers that are just as happy on land as they are underwater. Their thick fur keeps them warm when diving to the depths of the ocean. They are a playful bunch that live by the sea. Their favorite pastimes are diving for hidden treasures off the coastline and playing Gormball on the beach.


As their huge eyes might suggest, Acaras are known for being highly inquisitive and curious creatures. They take a great joy in coming upon secrets and hidden things, and quite a few have distinguished themselves as very talented treasure-seekers. Some condemn Acaras for being nosey, and it is true that they tend to ask a few too many questions -- but there is no ill will behind those questions, just a genuine desire to learn.
Acaras are typically fantastic swimmers who enjoy diving for treasure. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of water.


Originally, they were [[Limited Edition|limited edition]] but have now become common.

{{main|List of Neopet redesigns#Acara}}
The Acara was originally introduced as the Tigren on 28 April 2000. It was renamed to the Acara on 19 July, at the same time the Polypup became the [[Gelert]], and it was at this point that its design received the 'horns' brushed back over its head. The Tigren's formerly large, bushy tail also shrank considerably and may have even vanished altogether.

==Tigren==
[[Image:Tigren green baby.gif|right]]
The Acara was originally called the Tigren. The Tigren was designed by Perdiddle and chosen as the winner for the April Create-A-Pet Contest and was introduced on April 28, 2000. The name was changed on July 19 for reasons unknown, along with the '''Polypup''''s change to the [[Gelert]]. NeoNews of the time touted the change as "evolution", just like [[Wikipedia: Pokémon|Pokémon]] do.
 
The write up that came with the Tigren stated: Tigrens are excellent swimmers that are just as comfortable on land as at sea. An air of mystery surrounds where these creatures came from but it looks as if they are here to stay.

The Acara is a species of Neopet that loves to live by the sea. They are amphibious - they can breath in water or on land - although having fur like mammals. They have two horn-like protrusions on their heads that allow them to hear well underwater, and their thick coat of fur keeps them warm.

Its name may come from two species of cichlids - a family of freshwater fish - the blue acara and the zebra acara.

Acaras are typically fantastic swimmers who enjoy diving for treasure. In the Neopets Trading Card Game, they are associated with the element of water.

Old designs[edit]

The Tigren.

The Acara was originally introduced as the Tigren on 28 April 2000. It was renamed to the Acara on 19 July, at the same time the Polypup became the Gelert, and it was at this point that its design received the 'horns' brushed back over its head. The Tigren's formerly large, bushy tail also shrank considerably and may have even vanished altogether.

Colours[edit]

The Acara is currently available in the following colours:
