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 small [[Neopet]] reminiscent of a [[wikipedia:hedgehog|hedgehog]].

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]]. | |||
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. | |||
In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], JubJubs are associated with the element of Air. | |||
