The Gelert is a dog-like creature that was added to Neopets on January 25, 2000 as the Polypup.
On July 19th, 2000 the Polypup's name changed to Gelert and its look was updated, but that would not be the last time the Gelert changed its look.
On November 2nd, 2001 TNT added the Pick-The-Gelert Competition which featured 5 new designs for members to pick from. Both Gelerts #5 and #2 officially won (although the joke design, #3, actually had the most votes) so the two designs were combined and the final version (released on 29th November 2001) has not changed since.
About the Gelert
The Gelert is a distant cousin to the Lupe and are the embodiment of all that is fun and goofy.
They are joyous creatures, with a love of anyone and everything. If you are suffering from a long day at work, there is nothing better than coming home to a Gelert, who will do anything possible to make your day a happier day.
Legend and myth have been written about the brave deeds of Gelerts and such stories have made Gelerts a household name. If anything, their love of children make them excellent baby sitters. However, don't let their fun-loving nature fool you; like their Lupe cousins they're fiercely protective of their friends and family.
