The Xweetok was newly added to the website rather unexpectedly on November 30, 2005. It came with mixed reactions. Many members enjoyed it due to its likeness to real-life creatures, but with a Neopets-esque, coy look. Others disliked it due to the similarity to the [[Wocky]] and [[Acara]]. Still others thought that it was poorly drawn, and with people still holding their breath for the [[April Fool's]] pet and the [[Lutari]], many found it annoying that Neopets had made two new pets (The other being the [[Ogrin]]) while they were waiting.

Others disliked it due to the similarity to the Wocky and Acara. Still others thought that it was poorly drawn, and with people still holding their breath for the April Fool's pet and the Lutari, many found it annoying Neopets had made two new pets (The other being the Ogrin) while they were waiting.

Still, the Xweetok is popular, especially with younger players who are glad to get a cute-looking pet without having to buy a Paint Brush. Others love its Mutant look, which turns it into a rat-like creature.
