	Updated intro summary

Red Peophin as of June 19, 2006.

Peophins are seahorse-like Neopets originally released February 10th 2000. Considered one of the most stunning and beautiful Neopets, the Peophin is a sea borne Neopet that is considered by many as one of the most dazzling yet mysterious Neopets in existence as they seldom mix with other species.

How they appeared is unknown, however citizens of Neopia one day noticed sleek and graceful movements in the clear waters off the coast of Neopia Central. These movements turned out to be the first contact between Neopian citizens and these neopets. The Peophin is now a popular neopet with its Uni-like figure, and there have been many famous peophins in history. The peophin is a proud neopet so many of its kind originate with Royal blood. They are rumoured to bring good fortune to anyone who is near. This might explain the stories of sailors lost on the high seas only to be rescued by a mysterious Neopet - most likely a Peophin.

Peophins were the first Limited Edition Neopet, but were later made available for all owners.
