This wheel could be spun every thirty minutes, costing 100 [[Neopoints]]. Possible prizes were 250 NP, 500 NP, 10,000 NP, feathers, healing a Neopet, or making a Neopet more happy. Possible penalties were having some Neopoints stolen, having half of the user's on-hand Neopoints stolen, having an item stolen, or a Neopet getting [[Disease|ill]] or hurt.

== Colour ==
{{main|Lutari (Colour)}}
 
The island was originally meant to be home to colour known only as '[[Lutari (Colour)|Lutari]]'. While the exact appearance of the colour remains unknown, it is often speculated that the various Neopets appearing in [[Neopets Mobile]] an Lutari Island-related artwork represent this un released colour.
 
Though users cannot paint their pets with it, a associated [[Paint Brush]] was also released, though it remains unusable.

== "Old" Island Version ==
 
Before it was released through [[Neopets Mobile]], the island varied both in appearance and naming, all while differing very little from it's current form.
 
=== Infusio Island ===

In an unused map, released by [[The Neopets Team]] through their [[Facebook]] account and captioned "Lutari Island, before the storm", some of these activities were shown missing or renamed - the Island Market was "Shop", the Flourescent Pools were "Healing Springs", the Wheel of Happiness was "The Wheel of Luminescence", the Survival Academy was "Training School", the Lutari Savings Bank was "Bank", the Bog of Charity was "Bog of Chance", and Island Gossip and Briana's Quests were absent entirely.

In an issue of the [[Neopets Magazine]] containing an article about the [[Lutari]] species, it mentions that the Lutari race originate from a "drifting island" known as '''Infusio Island'''.<ref>[http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/images/1/11/Infusio_island.jpg <nowiki>http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/images/1/11/Infusio_island.jpg</nowiki>]</ref> While it's entirely possible that Infusio Island could very well be a separate location, the mention of it's "drifting" seems indicate that it is in fact ''Lutari Island''.

On the world map, however, the island is shown to be experiencing an endless storm, driving both the island's inhabitants and wildlife away.

== Species ==
The island, as it's name implies, is home to and the origin of the [[Lutari]] species. Several species of [[Petpet]], such as [[Floobix]] and [[Weebly]] also originate from here. Several species of unknown [[Bird]] are also featured in various artwork.
Additionally, various artwork also reveals that [[Grarrl]], [[Kacheek]], [[Tonu]], [[Grundo]], [[Uni]], [[Mynci]], [[Blumaroo]], [[Gelert]], and [[Korbat]] inhabit the island. The island is also home to a single [[Faerie]] resident, [[Briana]].
== Future ==
The island has remained entirely in-accessible since [[2009]] after [[Neopets Mobile]] discontinued.
In the [[Neopian Times]] {{LinkNeo|type=editorial|editorial=477|title=Editorial #477}}, however, [[The Neopets Team]] said that though Lutari Island has remained unused for some quite time, they haven't forgotten about it. This was re-iterated in {{LinkNeo|type=editorial|editorial=579|title=Editorial #579}} (26 January 2013), where The Neopets Team expressed their interest in making Lutari Island available again.

*An [[item]] named ''Lutari Paint Brush'' has been released, however as no Lutari [[colour]] has ever been made available it is still unusable. Various characters associated with Neopets Mobile have been drawn with bright face paint and feathered headdresses - this may be representative of the 'Lutari colour'.

*Much like how Lutari Island's original name, ''Infusio Island'' was accidentally revealed in piece of [[Merchandise]] (The [[Neopets Magazine]]), [[Altador]]'s original name, ''Talador'', was also released by accident through merchandise ([[TCG]])
