Whether this means the ability to read minds or move objects with their mind (telekinetic powers) remains to be seen, however what is certain is their amazing scientific and technological ingenuity.

Extremely friendly and caring, expect a hug from these creatures if you meet one.
Chomby
A herbivore, this prehistoric neopet’s long neck enables it to reach to the tops of trees where the green leaves are juiciest. While it is also quite shy, this neopets’ huge size and hard skin make it a formidable opponent in the battledome.

Cybunny
Sporting a lion-like mane, these carrot munchers survive in Neopia’s coldest regions because their thick fur is able to keep them warm even in the coldest conditions.

If you are suffering from a long day at work, there is nothing better than coming home to a Gelert, who will do anything possible to make your day a happier day. Legend and myth have been written about the brave deeds of Gelerts. Such stories have made the name of Gelerts a household name. If anything, their love of children make them excellent baby sitters.

Only through the collaborative efforts of all the citizens of Neopia and the Space Faerie were the Grundos able to be freed from their cruel enslavement and adopted into new caring homes. Grundos are believed to have come to Neopia from space. While their cute demeanor may be a bit on the goofy side, their intelligence should not be underestimated. These neopets were capable of space travel after all!
Hissi
The Hissi are ssssssssepent-like and sssslliter everywhere. The distinguishing feature about these creatures is the two wings that adorn their back. Can they use them to fly? Known for their acute vision and maneuverability, these creatures are a force to be reckoned with once they get in close.

The Ixi are hardy forest and wood creatures that are renowned for their cunning and intelligence. Their speed is also something to be marveled at as watching them leap and bound through the forest is a sight to see.

However, if you enter their habitat with bad intentions, be wary as you are forewarned that they are the masters of the wood, and will not tolerate such ill intentions.
Jetsam
Cousins to the Flotsam, the Jetsam are the gangsters of the sea. While many view them as the pirates of the Caribbean, many epics and tales have portrayed these neopets as simply misunderstood souls, who crave for someone to care for them.

Koi
Excellent mechanical engineers and inventors, nearly anything you find in Neopia were invented by these clever fish related neopets. But that’s not just to say these neopets are all brains. They’ll never give up a chance for some fun, and their mischievous grins are incurably infectious. Unfortunately, a mysterious disaster ruined their native city Maraqua. While the reason for such an occurrence is unknown, all that currently exists of Maraqua are ruins. Most Koi’s are currently homeless, so Neopian citizens have been adopting these neopets as crazy. Their help around the house is invaluable.
Kougra
Originating from Mystery Island, this neopets cute and playful nature combined with its large paws and pointy teeth make it a natural in the battledome.

Krawk
The Krawk is the only species in existence that are petpet mutations. One day, an owner took his neopet to a cave filled with glowing fungus. The neopet in question also brought along his petpet, which was incidentally a Krawk. When the petpet ate the fungus, it slowly mutated into a full-grown Krawk. Classified by scientists as a neopet and a petpet, this creature loves mischief and it is a common sight to see a shop keeper chase a Krawk down the street while the Krawk runs away with a string of sausages in its claws laughing gleefully. Also a seasoned fighter, this neopets’ outgoing nature and natural fighting ability make it a prime candidate for battledome veterans.
Kyrii
Gregarious and extremely friendly, these neopets are often seen in groups of 3 or more neopets. Intelligent and full of life, these neopets are recommended as a perfect addition to any family as they’re naturally caring and will go out of their way to make sure that everyone around them is as comfortable as they can be. Be wary however, sometimes their friendliness can go a little too far, and they may prefer being a friend to their brothers and sisters rather than being a brother or sister themselves.
Lenny
One of the least seen neopets, the Lenny is naturally tall and overtly cheerful yet highly intelligent. Its strut can only be described as graceful in a clumsy way, yet this species high degree of intelligence and quick thinking make it one of the prime candidates for enrollment in battledome strategy and magic energy use and distortion.

Moehog
Initially considered a very rare neopet, this creature has starting appearing around Neopia more frequently. Considered by many as a rebel with a cause, this neopet is often seen in the middle of concerts partying with the best of them.

Naturally, these neopets are quite good natured, and considerate, however it is advised to back away if Poogle ears lower and they start to freeze up. One will be able to tell if a Poogle is friendly is by the wagging of their tails.
Pteri
The only known bird-like neopet with exceptional flying ability is the Pteri. Somewhat cheeky in nature, these neopets sometimes share their treetop homes with the scampering Meercas and it is not an uncommon sight to see these two neopets at it together tricking passersby with their clever tricks and jokes.

Shy by nature, this dragonish neopet is very versatile and is a ferocious fighter, making this seasoned battler a prime candidate for people who visit the battledome to duke it out in a test of strength, skill, speed, defense and agility.
Skeith
These neopets will eat anything! One of the biggest neopets, this pet is renowned for its great defense and attack power, which can be attributed to its colossal size. Unfortunately, what it possess in attack and defense power, lacks in speed. In the history of Neopets, never has a Skeith been known to win a race.

Easily found near the icy waters of Terror Mountain and Snow Valley, offer this neopet a fish and it’ll be more than happy to follow you around for the day. More interested in playing than fighting, you’ll be hard pressed to find a Tuskininny near any battledome arena. If a person is determined however, it has been said that offers of large amounts of fish have met with some success. Woe befalls anyone who comes between a Tuskinniny and its fish. Perhaps that is the secret to unleashing their real power?
Uni
The most beautiful and vainest neopet to exist, this neopets’ beauty is unrivaled. A neopet who will spend hours brushing its flowing mane and stare endlessly at its reflection every time it passes a mirror, supply this neopet with a good supply of assorted brushes and beauty accessories to keep it extremely happy.
