The '''Techo''' is a [[Wikipedia:Gecko|gecko]]-like [[Neopet]] created on June 7, 2000.


==Overview==
The '''Techo''' is a [[Wikipedia:Gecko|gecko]]-like [[Neopet]] released on June 7, 2000. Techos are agile and are gifted in acrobatics. They are fun-loving Neopets and like to keep others amused with jokes and stunts, and to be the centre of attention at all times. They love to laugh and look on the bright side of life, and prefer users with a wicked sense of humour.
Techos are rarely unhappy, and enjoy looking on the bright side of life and having a good laugh. They are very agile and blessed with exceptional acrobatic skills. Wanting to be the centre of attention at all times, Techos enjoy making other Neopets laugh by performing acrobatic stunts and telling jokes. Fun loving and comical, Techos are said to be perfect for users with a wicked sense of humour.
 
Like their real-world counterparts, they are skilled climbers, although this is because their [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=4&id=77 fingers are like suction cups] rather than having [[wikipedia:setae|setae]].
