'''Petpets''' (sometimes ''PetPets'') are pets for a user's [[Neopet]]. A class of [[items]] created on September 27, 2000, they can be attached to a Neopet much like [[Battledome Equipment]]. Most Petpets can be purchased in official Neopian [[shops]], but some are gained only by other activities, such as using the [[Cooking Pot]].
 
For a long time, Petpets could not be painted, but this was changed on October 2, 2001 with the introduction of the [[Petpet Paint Brush]], which is used at the [[Petpet Puddle]]. Later, on August 3, 2005, the [[Petpet Lab Ray]] was introduced. Like the Neopet [[Lab Ray]], the Petpet equivalent can alter a Petpet's [[colour]] and other statistics, such as species, level and name. The Petpet even has a chance of being completely destroyed.
 
A Petpet can also gain levels at the [[Petpet Battledome]] and by waking the [[Turmaculus]], but its levels will not be retained if the Petpet is ever removed from its Neopet. In turn, these levels can  help the Neopet in the Battledome, acting as an [http://idb.finalhit.org/?searchtype=page&page=articles&a_id=89 attack multiplier].
 
There are also [[Petpetpet]]s, parasites that live on Petpets, which are a pet to the Petpet.
 
==Petpet types==
===Original===
The original Petpets come from [[The Neopian Petpet Shop]] in  [[Neopian Central]]. They don't fall any theme as do other Petpets, and are therefore capable of having many varying themes.
 
As of April 2008, there are 81 Original Petpets:

A '''Petpetpet''' is a very tiny [[Wikipedia:Insect|insect]]-like creature which act as a [[Wikipedia:Parasitism|parasite]] or pet (depending on the Petpetpet) to [[Petpet]]s. The first Petpetpets were released on June 11, 2003.

==Overview==
As of April 2008, there are 25 Tyrannian Petpets:
Petpetpets take many different shapes, the majority of which bear strong resemblance to real insects. All of them use the body of their Petpet master's as a home, and some even use it as a food source.

In [[Neopets (website)|Neopets]], Petpetpets are usually expensive, and are often viewed as a status symbol. Their high price is due to the the fact they will only appear from a rare [[Random Event]], in which a random Petpet attached to one of the users [[Neopet]]s catches one and brings it back to their owner in their mouth. Because of how easy it is to lose the Petpetpet from the user's inventory (see explanation in "How to attach" below), keeping a Petpetpet from the Random Event is difficult, and once a Petpetpet is attached to a Petpet, it's attached for good. The only way it can be taken off after that is if the user removes the Petpet from their Neopet, in which case the Petpetpet attached will simply vanish.
===Desert Petpet===
Desert Petpets are sold at [[Peopatra's Pet Pets]] in the [[Lost Desert]]. They tend to be desert or Egyptian themed.


==List of Petpetpets==
As of April 2008, there are 28 Desert Petpets:
As of January 2008, 35 different Petpetpets have been released...

:''Petpetpets marked with an * are announced, searchable and featured in either a game or various items, but no one appears to have them, making it unclear whether they are obtainable or not.''
===Geraptiku Petpet===
Geraptiku Petpets are sold at the [[Geraptiku Petpets (Shop)|Geraptiku Petpets]] shop in [[The Lost City of Geraptiku]].  Geraptiku Petpets are usually rainforest or Amazon themed.  Many of them resemble real-life rainforest creatures.


==How to attach==
As of April 2008, there are 23 Geraptiku Petpets:
Once obtained, a Petpetpet can attach itself to a Petpet by the following means:


#The Petpet which will become the host of the Petpetpet which is attached to the users active Neopet.
{|align=center
#The Petpetpet is in their inventory.
|-valign=top
#Refresh the inventory until the Petpetpet disappears.

*[[Crocalu]]

*[[Tapira]]
*[[Tekkal]]
*[[Tootum]]
|width=160|
*[[Tuceet]]
*[[Vacana]]
*[[Yackito]]
|}


Assuming the disappearance was not the fault of the [[Pant Devil]] or a similar Random Event-thief, the Petpetpet should now be attached to the Petpet of the users active Neopet. If a user wants to remove the Petpetpet, all they need to do is unequip the Petpet, which is achieved by clicking on the Petpet on the users [http://www.neopets.com/quickref.phtml Quick Ref] page and selecting "Stop Playing with ''(Petpet's name)''." The Petpetpet will then be gone, with no way of retrieving it.
===Altadorian Petpet===
Altadorian Petpets are sold at [[Legendary Petpets]] in [[Altador]].  In general, Altadorian Petpets are based off of creatures found in ancient Greek and Roman mythology. [[yooyu|Yooyus]], which were given out as prizes for participating in the [[Altador Cup]], are the only Altadorian Petpets that can not be purchased at Legendary Petpets.


==Plot appearances==
As of April 2008, there are 10 Altadorian Petpets:
Due to being small, Petpetpets don't play very big roles in [[plot]]s, but they have been known to make appearances all the same. In [[The Tale of Woe]], a few Petpetpets could be found in dug up graves (only as art, not as prize/real item) during the gravedigging of plot completion. In [[Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing]], Petpetpets were used to give bonuses to stats. In [[Journey to the Lost Isle]], Petpetpets played a much bigger role, being the giant, [[mutant]] monsters the explorers faced during their stay on the island. Some were hostile, having to be fought in order for the explorers to escape, and others where either herbivores or only attacked when felt threatened.

Two images of unreleased Petpetpets can be found in Neopets' image database. It can be concluded from their image URL they have been created either at the same time as the [[Mootix]], [[Breebly]], [[Cooty]] and [[Vernax]], or shortly thereafter. Exactly what they are is unknown. They could be rejected designs from the early Petpetpet creation stages or "joke items" (much like the items from July 22, 2006) which [[The Neopets Team]] eventually decided not to release. Oddly though, the Petpetpet resembling a plucked bird was the first Petpetpet to ever appear in [http://www.neopets.com/games/caption/caption_archive.phtml?place=303 a picture] of the [[Caption Competition]].
===Fanciful Fauna===
Fanciful Fauna Petpets are based off of Asian creatures, both real and mythological. They are sold at the [[Fanciful Fauna (Shop)|Fanciful Fauna]] shop in [[Shenkuu]].

Revision as of 23:44, 20 August 2008

petpet_day_2005.gif

Petpets (sometimes PetPets) are pets for a user's Neopet. A class of items created on September 27, 2000, they can be attached to a Neopet much like Battledome Equipment. Most Petpets can be purchased in official Neopian shops, but some are gained only by other activities, such as using the Cooking Pot.

For a long time, Petpets could not be painted, but this was changed on October 2, 2001 with the introduction of the Petpet Paint Brush, which is used at the Petpet Puddle. Later, on August 3, 2005, the Petpet Lab Ray was introduced. Like the Neopet Lab Ray, the Petpet equivalent can alter a Petpet's colour and other statistics, such as species, level and name. The Petpet even has a chance of being completely destroyed.

A Petpet can also gain levels at the Petpet Battledome and by waking the Turmaculus, but its levels will not be retained if the Petpet is ever removed from its Neopet. In turn, these levels can help the Neopet in the Battledome, acting as an attack multiplier.

There are also Petpetpets, parasites that live on Petpets, which are a pet to the Petpet.

Main Article: Petpet Protection League

The Petpet Protection League (PPL for short) is a group of Neopians who reward Neopets for taking good care of their Petpet. Each week they select a random species of Petpet and reward users whose Neopets have had them for the longest by paying 10 Neopoints for every day they have been owned. Users who have the oldest of the selected species receive a Trophy as well.

Neopets who take their Petpet to the Petpet Laboratory are not counted in the PPL, as it's viewed as a form of cruelty against Petpets.
