The JubJub is a Neopet, and one of the original lineup of pets to adopt when Neopets went public. Throughout its varying colours, it is in essence a ball of fluff with a pair of orange feet. JubJubs are shy, secretive creatures who are scared easily, and prefer to keep to themselves. They aren't aggressive, but can defend themselves with a deafening screech when threatened. And while they are small, they can run or roll at an amazing speed.

Because of their small size, they are often mistaken for plants and vegetables, and this confusion is made all the more difficult with the fact they can be painted into various food items: like garlic, strawbery etc. Also, even though they don't have any hands they make do with using their feet in place of their hands, which is an easy task with their opposable toes.

It was questioned if Fuzzles are baby versions of the JubJub, but this has been disproven in a Help File, stating that Fuzzles are toys, and not Neopets.

The JubJub was originally called the JibJib, and has since been renamed "JubJub" on August 23, 2000. It is believed the JubJub attained its current name from the beast called the JubJub Bird in the Lewis Carroll poem, Jabberwocky.

Overview

The JubJub is like a creature called a "tribble", and it shares some colours with the Kiko.
