The Wocky is a cat-like Neopet released on November 15, 1999 as one of the original Neopets on the site. Far from being scaredy-cats, Wockies in general are among the bravest and most adventurous of Neopians. They love exploring new territories above all else and are often the first to leap into the unknown, something that less daring Neopets would be more reluctant to do. While the search for hidden treasures is the typical catalyst for their explorations, some Wockies, such as the Wocky Professor and Clara Chatham, pursue adventure for more cerebral purposes (which in Clara's case led to the discovery of a lost civilisation).

Wockies' great agility comes in handy for scaling almost any boundary that comes their way during their adventures. Excellent hearing and an even better sense of smell keeps them alert to lurking dangers, thus ensuring that they are hardly ever taken by surprise.

In the Neopets Trading Card Game, Wockies are associated with the element of Fire.

In the Battledome, Wockies have no natural resistances, however they do have six species abilities:

  • Wocky Growl - Attack: 2 x Earth; Defence: none; available from level 1;
