Bruce

The Bruce is one of the original Neopets. It first looked like Bruce Forsyth (an actual photograph), and has been redrawn many times, first to a cartoon of Bruce Forsyth, and then a penguin, retaining only the bow tie from its first incarnation, to coincide with the introduction of Terror Mountain on November 16, 2000. Despite their appearance, Bruce are generally good at sports and love to dance, compete in winter games, and eat cold food. They originally came from the snow-covered Terror Mountain region.

Bruce love showing off their remarkable sense of balance by skating, dancing and generally being good at sports. Originally from the snowy land of Terror Mountain, Bruce can be found all over Neopia, even in the Lost Desert.
