Neopetsfansite : Neopets

The Cybunny is a limited edition species of Neopet, introduced on July 10, . They look much like rabbits and often live in Neopia's coldest regions, where they can easily camouflage their white fur against the snow and frolic in the winter air. Young Cybunnies generally love to play games. Like real rabbits, they are also known to be very swift.

Because they are limited edition, Cybunnies are rare in Neopia. A few are made available on the site periodically; players can also use certain items to change their pets into Cybunnies, such as Transmogrification potions.

In the Neopets TCG, Cybunnies are associated with the element of earth. As of May 2006, the Cybunny is ranked about 45th out of 50+ species, with over 450,000 created.

Famous Cybunnies include:

• Sasha, one of the 12 protectors of Altador.

Draik

The Draik is a limited edition/restricted species, was originally released on June 25, 2002. They look like small dragons and are thought to have originated from Meridell. They almost have feline-like personalities and enjoy hunting small creatures, satisfying their curiosity, and wandering far away from home on extended adventures.

Being limited edition Neopets, Draiks aren't even released on Draik Day, their special holiday. You can get a Draik by using a morphing potion (a special potion to change your Neopet), using a Draik Egg and hatching it in the Draik Nest, or by zapping your pet with the Lab Ray.

In the Neopets TCG, Draiks are associated with the element of Fire. As of May 2006, the Draik is ranked 52nd out of 50+ species. Over 9 thousand have been created.

Famous Draiks include:

• Valrigard, who was imprisoned in Meridell Castle for a crime that he did not commit. He is the star of the game Escape from Meridell Castle

• Swordmaster Talek, introduced in the Curse of Maraqua Plot, is a Maraquan Draik.

• King Terask, an immensely big and strong Draik, is the last enemy to defeat in the game Neoquest II, in two incarnations.

Elephante

The Elephante was first introduced to the site on January 13, 2000. As their name suggests, Elephantes are similar to elephants, the only differences being two small wings (which only allow them to hover for short periods of time) and a rabbit-like fluffy tail. Although cute, they are not completely harmless, being able to shoot objects from their trunks with great accuracy. They are generally kind and generous.

In the Neopets TCG, Elephantes are associated with the element of air. As of May 2005, the Elephante is ranked 26th out of 50+ species. Over 2.5 million have been created.

Famous Elephantes include:

• Zombom, an evil sorcerer in the game Neoquest II.

• An unamed Elephante, which is featured with a Puppyblew (a Petpet), stars in the game 200m Peanut Dash, in which the Elephante hurls a peanut from his trunk and the Puppyblew, which you control, has to catch it.

Eyrie

The Eyrie looks basically like an eagle-winged griffin. Eyries live in tropical regions and like to play, but like the griffins, they can be quite fierce and cunning in battle, especially if their territory is ever threatened. They are also known for generally being adventureous, eager to learn, and noble.

In the Neopets TCG, Eyries are associated with the element of air. The pet now called the Eyrie was originally the Cerpull, one of the original pets, which looked more like a dragon than a griffin. It was first changed into the more gentle Tatsu on July 13, 2000, before being completely redesigned to form the current Eyrie on January 26th 2001.

Famous Eyries include:

• Lord Kass, who resides in the Neopian Darigan Citadel. And the star of his own game Whack-A-Kass.

• Cap'n Threelegs, the extremely generous yet gruff owner of Cap'n Threelegs Swashbuckling Academy.

• Jahbal, the final boss of the normal level of Neoquest 1.

• Branston, a 'Cheat!' player who thinks of himself as superior to other neopets.

• An unnamed Yellow Eyrie that can often be seen riding into battle with the Battle Faerie.

Flotsam

The Flotsam is one of the original Neopets, apparently related to another aquatic Neopet, the Jetsam. Dolphin-like in appearance, Flotsams love to swim the Neopian oceans, and are quick to sense danger. They can't breathe water, so they enjoy seeing how far they can dive while holding their breath.

In the Neopets TCG, Flotsams are rather obviously associated with the element of water.

Famous Flotsams include:

• The Maraquan Chef who now resides on Mystery Island, granting special prizes after users complete his quests. Formerly, he was a strange lobster-like creature.

Gelert

The Gelert is a dog-like species of Neopet whose name comes from a legendary Welsh dog. Gelerts are generally courageous, selfless, faithful, and brave, much like Gelert the greyhound from whom they take their name. They are also known for being easily confused. The Gelert was originally called the Polypup and released on January 25, 2000. It looked more like a dragon than a dog and had shorter, thicker ears and tail. It also wore a collar, where the current Gelert does not. It was changed into the Gelert, a more greyhound-like creature, on July 19, 2000.

Famous Gelerts include:

• Kanrik the side-changing thief of the "Hannah in the Ice Caves" plot.

• Prince Tourin, a key character in the videogame Neopets: The Darkest Faerie.

• Elwyn the Gelert, who wrote The Gelert Diaries about his advetures on Terror Mountain.

• A Gelert which is the embodiment of Revenge as one of "The Three," mysterious spirits who haunted Lord Kass and eventually drove him mad.

• The Gelert Assassin in Neopets: The Darkest Faerie. He serves as one of her most loyal servants.

Gnorbu

The Gnorbu was the winner of the April Fools Neopet Contest 2005, and was released on January 6, 2006. It is based on the blue Llamameeah that was in the contest. The new version has created controversy and dissatisfaction among Neopians who liked the characteristics of the Llamameeah which were removed in the Gnorbu.

The Gnorbu resembles a llama. They are great jokers, and very social, but dislike it when people do not pronounce the word "Gnorbu" correctly (pronounced NOR-boo). Its name is probably taken from the gnu, which is pronounced "noo".
