The '''Kiko''' is an [[Wikipedia:Amphibian|amphibious]] [[Neopet]] and one of the original Neopets created on November 15, 1999. Kikos could originally be adopted at any time but became [[Limited Edition]] around the time Kiko Lake was introduced. A warning was given about the change on [http://www.neopets.com/nf.phtml?nf_date=2003-07-07 July 10, 2003], when 990,950 Kikos were created. Kikos come in a variety of colours, and are one of the few Neopets who can be painted in different food items, such as ''Chokato'' (with the [[Chia]]) and ''Garlic'', colours which come easily to the Kiko due its shape. They are also one of the of the few Neopets which have access to more than one [[Lab Ray]] exclusive colour, with ''Clay'' and ''Garlic'' (shared with the [[Jubjub]]).


==Overview==
Kikos come from [[Kiko Lake]] and other aquatic regions of [[Neopia]], capable of breathing underwater (though they can still travel on land). They have the appearance of a sphere, bearing only two arms. Their arms are used to travel in the water, enabling them to travel at high speeds. It is known from the official Neopets description that they are just as happy on land as in water, however, they dislike very dry places and need to be near water when young. To move about on land, Kikos bounce around like the [[Blumaroo]], but can also float in the air without any visible source of propulsion, similar to the [[Peophin]]. A notable feature of Kikos is the bandage they have on their head. How it came to be on the Kiko and what its purpose is unknown. Due to the similarity of a Kiko's appearance and a [[Wikipedia:Ball|rubber ball]], the patch could perhaps be a "quick fix", similar as to how people fixed air filled rubber balls in real life.
