List of Neopet redesigns

	This page is under construction
	Many of the dates need to be associated with the changes that occured, and other changes need to be written.

Over the years, many Neopets have changed both name and form as the drawing techniques and styles of The Neopets Team developed. Most references to their previous incarnations have been removed from the website, but some still exist in past Caption Competitions and New Feature pages.
