Yooyuball
Terror Mountain's Yooyuball team was known as "the worst team a fortune can buy" in 2006, due to the collection of talented players who failed to come together and play as a team when they were defeated by Darigan Citadel. Terror Mountain's management has since begun moving away from their overpriced free agent signings of years past and started rebuilding for the future. The centrepiece of the youth movement was Osielle Lidel, a speedy young forward who stepped in to replace Tico Tems in 2007. While Lidel has the makings of a future superstar, it could by a year or two before he has the kind of team around him ready to seriously challenge the Altador Cup.
Team positions are as follows (bolded notes the Team Captain):
| Year | Goalkeeper | Left Defender | Right Defender | Left Forward | Right Forward |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2006 | Minae Mitora | Selwick Phoss | Rinok Fitel | Prytariel | Tico Tems |
| 2007 | Osielle Lidel | ||||
| 2008 | Elbin Kroe | ||||
| 2009 |
Climate
The weather is usually very cold all year round, with lots of snow and strong winds, especially in the winter when the temperature could dip down to as low as -50 degrees Celcius. In the summer the temperature is usually around 0 degrees Celcius.
Trivia
- The Ice Caves used to only be accessible with the use of an ice totem, which was gained by signing up with a sponsored advertisement.
- In NeoQuest II, a Chia settlement called Chia Oscuro (from chiaroscuro, art using contrast between light and dark) exists on the mountain, where they speak a different language to most Neopians. It is not clear whether this settlement actually exists, or whether it is a creation of the simulation in the game.
- The Neopedia article for Terror Mountain was released on November 16, 2007.
