'''Koi''' (from [[wikipedia:Japanese (language)|Japanese]] [[wiktionary:&#x9bc9;|&#x9bc9;]], ''koi'', a type of [[wikipedia:carp|carp]]) are a [[Wikipedia:fish|fish]]-like [[Neopet]] introduced on 6th October 2000. They are remarkable inventors, responsible for, among other things, [[Utility Fish]] - fish which double as tools. They are friendly, outgoing, and [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=9&id=70 curious] Neopets.


'''Koi''' are a [[Wikipedia:Goldfish|fish]]-like [[Limited Edition]] [[Neopet]], introduced on 6th October 2000. Excellent mechanical engineers and inventors, nearly anything you find in [[Neopia]] were invented by these clever fish-related Neopets. But that's not just to say these Neopets are all brains. They'll never give up a chance for some fun, and their mischievous grins are incurably infectious. They used to be a pet you could just go out and adopt. Unfortunately, a mysterious disaster ruined their native city, [[Maraqua]]. And because that happened, the koi's numbers went down, and now they are consitered limited edition. While the reason for such an occurrence is unknown, all that currently exists of Old Maraqua are ruins. Most Koi are currently homeless, so [[Neopian]] citizens have been adopting these Neopets like crazy. Their help around the neohome is invaluable. If you want a Koi around the neohome the cheapest way currently is to get a Orange Koi Morphing Potion for around 30,000np to 40,000np on the shop wiz. It is cheap due to it being a common wheel prize.
They are native to [[Maraqua]]. When Old Maraqua was [[Destruction of Maraqua|destroyed]], they became [[Limited Edition]]. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of water.
