Revision as of 23:24, 9 October 2008
The Techo is a gecko-like Neopet created on June 7, 2000.
Overview
Techos are rarely unhappy, and enjoy looking on the bright side of life and having a good laugh. They are very agile and blessed with exceptional acrobatic skills. Wanting to be the centre of attention at all times, Techos enjoy making other Neopets laugh by performing acrobatic stunts and telling jokes. Fun loving and comical, Techos are said to be perfect for users with a wicked sense of humour.
Colours
As of October 2008, the Techo can be seen in 41 different colours. There is some confusion with the Cloud colour, as it's stated to have been released on September 9, 2001, but then on the 13th four days later. This might have been a Paint Brush error, and not have been activated until the 13th.
