The '''Lutari''' is an otter-like Neopet, released as a [[limited edition]] Neopet on April ~~19,~~ 2006. Lutari are alert, friendly Neopets who enjoy playing games outside. They are excellent swimmers and spend much of their time in the water. Lutari ~~get very upset at the thought of being~~ left in the [[~~Neopian Pound~~]], ~~and will run away~~ to ~~parts unknown if a~~ user ~~even tries~~.

[[Image:Lutari blue baby.gif|left|frame|The old Lutari pose.]]

Lutari come from [[Lutari Island]], which was only accessible via now now defunct mobile phone service. When accessed on the main [[Neopets]] site, it is shrouded in impenetrable mist. Their images existed on the Neopets image server - under the name of the ''Mok'' - for a long time before they were available to players. The first Lutari to be seen in [[Neopia]] - before user could create them - was [[Mr. Chipper]], who started running [[Happy Valley Ice Cream]] on 21 December 2004.

~~The Neopet's release was long awaited as images of~~ the ~~Neopet in its four basic colours as well as~~ [[~~Island~~]] ~~have been on~~ the ~~image servers for almost a year. The first time a~~ Lutari was ~~officially seen was at the opening of the Happy Valley Ice Cream shop on December 21, 2004, whose shopkeeper is~~ a Lutari~~, under~~ the ~~name~~ [[~~Mr. Chipper~~]].

Following the [[Neopets 2.0]] revamp to allow for [[Neopets Customisation|clothing Neopets]], the Lutari was redrawn from its sleek swimming pose to a standing pose more in uniform with other Neopets. Lutari have the fewest available [[colour]]s of any Neopet.

~~With the release of the Lutari, the launch of [[Lutari Island]], a new [[Neopian]] world which is only accessible via mobile phones, occured on June 24, 2006.
