Buzz (singular and plural, onomatopoeia for the noise a wasp makes) are a wasp-like species of Neopet. They were introduced on 11 January 2000 as the Fleye (see below). They have excellent eyesight and are very acrobatic. Although they may look mean, they are usually kind at heart.
Many farmers consider Buzz a menace, as they can fly to the top of trees and pick the plumpest fruit in the blink of an eye.
Buzz use their keen eyesight and acrobatic skills to help themselves to the tastiest wild berries and fruits, much to the dismay of the Neopian farmers. They can zoom to the top of the Tigersquash tree and pluck three plumpest fruits and whizz off in the blink of an eye. Though predatory, they have small teeth and are fond of fruit.
In the Neopets Trading Card Game, they are associated with the element of Dark.
