[[Image:Usul blue baby.gif|frame|The Blue Usul as of November 2006, from the design released on August 31, 2000.]]
The '''Usul''' is a [[Wikipedia:Squirrel|squirrel]]-like [[Neopet]] released on November 15, 1999 as one of the original Neopets on the site. Usuls are loyal and friendly pets who prefer to live in trees. During cold weather, Usuls are the first to share their food with friends. They also enjoy grooming, and are very proud of being Usuls (the default Usul petpage mentions "Usul Power!" several times).

The Usul began to receive large attention on June 7, 2001, with the release of [[Usuki Doll]]s and [[Usukiland]], an [[item]] type and [[shop]] which focuses solely on Usul-type items. The Usul can also be painted the ''Usuki'' [[colour]], which is unique to the Usul with the '''Usuki [[Paint Brush]]'''. Because of its affiliation with Usuki, the Usul is to date the most featured Neopet in all of the items in Neopets, with newer Usuki being added every year, including on August 20, the ''Annual Usuki Doll Convention''. The name possibly comes from a mix of the words "usagi" (meaning rabbit in Japanese) and "squirrel".

==Overview==
==Battledome==
As a general rule, Usuls are very friendly and kind and don't hesitate to share their food stores with other Neopets when the cold winter months approach. They also enjoy grooming, and are very proud of being Usuls (the default Usul petpage mentions "Usul Power!" several times). Supposedly, they are fairly gentle, but are probably a force to be reckoned with when they give their best shots in the Battledome. However, there are one or two (ONLY ONE OR TWO!) Usuls who display almost none of these characteristics, like the Shadow Usul.
In the Battledome, Usuls have a 20% resistance to dark attacks. They are vulnerable to fire and water, receiving 20% more damage from each. They also have three species [[abilities]]:
 
*''Usul Growl'' - Attack: 2 x Earth, 2 x Dark; Defence: none; available from level 1;
*''Usul Glare'' - Attack: 2 - 3 x Fire, 2 - 3 x Dark; Defence: none; available from level 1;
*''Usul Bite'' - Attack: 1 - 2 x Physical; Defence: none; available from level 1.
 
There are also fifteen pieces of [[battledome equipment|equipment]] that can only be used by an Usul.
