The Quiggle is a frog-like Neopet introduced on 19 April 2000 as the Frogstomp following a Create-a-Pet competition. It was renamed the Quiggle on 25 July 2000 in conjunction with an art update.

Quiggles have three toes on each foot and four fingers on each hand a large mouth, and round, protruding eyes. They have two stripes going across their back. They are short and stout, unlike Nimmos. Their first design only had three fingers on each hand.

They are carefree Neopets who like to be around water - they love to spend all day splashing around in puddles and will often build their NeoHomes around rivers or ponds. They like eating fresh vegetables like carrot, broccoli, and asparagus, as typified by Quinton the Health Food Shopkeeper.

The squat Quiggle, with its big grin and often crossed eyes, is commonly used for comic relief, such as in the Quiguki toys and April Fool's joke; and Old Man Withers of the Altador Plot.

Quiggles will become ill with Neezles if they are fed any cream item. In the Neopets Trading Card Game, they are associated with the element of water.
