The '''JubJub''' is a small [[Neopet]] reminiscent of a [[wikipedia:hedgehog|hedgehog]]. They were one of the original species available from [[Neopets]]' launch. The JubJubs' body is a ball of fur with no arms or hands, just a large pair of feet. Their feet have [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=3&id=9 opposable toes], which means they can still manipulate tools.

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.
They are shy, unaggressive creatures who prefer to keep to themselves, but scare very easily. They can defend themselves with a deafening screech, and can curl up into a ball and flee at high 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.
The JubJub was originally called the '''JibJib''', but was renamed "JubJub" on 23 August, 2000. It may be named after the ''JubJub Bird'' in the [[Wikipedia: Lewis Carroll|Lewis Carroll]] poem, [[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky|Jabberwocky]]. The JubJub's design - a ball with feet - is similar to the [[Kiko]]'s design - a ball with arms. There are two [[colour]]s that only JubJubs and Kikos can be painted - [[Clay]] and [[Garlic]]. The JubJub is also the only Neopet that can be painted [[Coconut]], where they resemble some members of the [[Coco people]]. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], JubJubs are associated with the element of Air.  


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


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 [[Wikipedia: Lewis Carroll|Lewis Carroll]] poem, [[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky|Jabberwocky]].
In the [[Battledome]], JubJubs receive 20% resistance to Physical damage, and 30% resistance to Air damage. However, they receive 20% more damage from Fir attacks. They can learn six abilities.
