==Anatomy==
FUR COAT: Xweetoks originate from all over Neopia, so the thickness of a Xweetok's fur depends on where it was from. Xweetoks from [[Terror_Mountain|Terror Mountain]], for example, have the thickest fur to protect them from the harsh weather. Every Xweetok's fur, however, is adapted to cold temperatures underground, where they live.
FUR COLOUR: Unlike other [[Neopet|neopets]], the Xweetok's fur is mostly brown instead of mostly the basic color. This brown colour was not the result of eating too much chocolate because the Xweetok's skin is light yellow. When Xweetoks are born, their fur is light yellow. As the Xweetok grows, the fur slowly changes to brown. This brown fur is used to camouflage.
EYES: Xweetok eyes are large and almond shaped, which enable it to see very well. In the wild, Xweetoks use thier eyes to spot predators. Xweetoks flitter their eyes around to detect their surroundings for danger.
EARS: Xweetoks also have wonderful hearing. Their ears are large and hollow, helping them hear enemies coming.
LEGS: Xweetoks have small, nimble legs which enable it to scurry quickly and dig tunnels. Their hind legs are stronger and longer to help them jump, run, dig, and climb. Xweetoks have small claws at the end of their paws which are used for climbing trees and as a weapon.
TAIL: The Xweetok's long, furry tail is used as a blanket to keep warm while sleeping. When Xweetoks are angry, they swish their tails - a warning for other neopets to stay away. The tail is also used for both defense and attack in battles.

Red Xweetok as of August 8, 2006.

The Xweetok is a chipmunk-like Neopet released on November 30, 2005. Originating from the forests of Neopia, they make their homes in hollowed out trees and logs, and are quite agile. Xweetoks enjoy being chased, and often indulge in games such as 'Tag' or 'Hide 'n' Seek' with others of its species.

The Xweetok was newly added to the website rather unexpectedly, and 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 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. Since it was released, it has shot up the popularity charts, to land at #7 as of July 3, 2007, setting a new record for the fastest-growing new species population.
