No Hero or Villian Should Have to Stand Alone.


Heermeedjet and Merouladen
Though they've set out on their own as of late, these Meerca brothers are likely some of the most well known henchmen in neopia. they were teh thieves who stole Coltzan's Crown for Malkus Vile, though the clues the follish Meercas left behind allowed them to be tracked down and the crown recovered.



Goregas
Isca's childhood Petpet, an overgrown orange Gulper, seems to be the type of helper everyone would like to have. His huge size alone is enough to scare off just about anyone, and his brave efforts were certainly a deciding force in the defence of New Maraqua during the battle with Captain Scarblade and his cerw.



Benny
Though Captain Scarblade doesn't seem to mind doing h is own dirty work, he can't be everywhere at once. That's why benny the Blade is his trusty first mate. A master of spying and sneaky combat, Benny is just as devious and wretched as his captain (while lacking the same notoriety).



Horace
Most likely because he lacks the ambitious nature of his Desert Scarab cohorts, it seems that Horace has been passed over for much of his life. Although amny see him as only a shadow of Tomos and Nabile, Horace showed his true worth and courage when Sakhmet came under attack by undead forces.



Jacques
One of the most famous of all Neopian sidekicks, Jacques played a fairly central role int he Curse of Maraqua plot. Althought he himself had to be saved from the Drenched by Garin and Isca, it's obvious that he has saved Garin's life more times than he can count and is truly a Maraquan hero, thanks to his brave deeds!



Scrap
A combination of youth, cockiness, and curiosity, Scrap is generally the type of sidekick that shoudl be thrown overboard! Of course, when you consider this bravery and good nature, things seem to even out. Even gruff Captain Rourke has develoepd a soft spot of this impetuous young Gnorbu!

3. Yooyuball Player Sling
Type:Battle Magic
Rarity: 180
Current Trading at: 6 million NP
Description:While a sling of this sort is usually used to play Yooyuball, this one is specially crafted for use in the Battledome. This item was teh grandest prize available from the Altador Cup in Year 8. Fashioned after the sling used for Yooyuball, this weapon can deal out plenty of pain and help you take a hard hit in the battledome. The Altador Cup prize point cost for this item was a whopping 10,000 points! By comparison, the Halloween Paint Brush only required, 2,000 points.



4. Minitheus
Type: Altadorian Petpets
Rarity: 98
Current Trading at: 800k NP
Description: Noble and loyal, the Minitheus will always be by your Neopet's side, no matter what the situation. Some people fear its magical powers, however. This rare Petpet is highly regarded by the citizens of Altador. Minitheuses are known to have magical Powers, and for that reason (among others), it is always treated with respect. if you are lucky (or rich) enough to purchase one, please remember to treat it with great care.



5. Altador Colosseum Stamp
Type: Stamp
Rarity: 101
Current Trading at: 800,000 NP
Description:Postal service must be way more expensive in Altador. This stamp was released as a prize worth 900 points from the Altador Cup Prize Shop in Y8. Like many r101 stamps, its price has inflated over the past year, reaching an even higher value than some other items that (at the time) cost more prize points to acquire.



6. King Altador Usuki Doll
Type: Usuki Doll
Rarity: 95
Current Trading at: 250k NP
Description:Both a ruler and a warrior, this doll is very versatile. No one is quite sure how King Altador feels about having his likeness turned into an Usuki doll, but it's certain that no slight was intended. After all, who could resist making an Usuki in the image of one of Neopia's greatest heroes? Certainly not the manufacturers of Usuki Dolls, that's for sure.



7. Yooyu
Type: Altadorian Petpets
Rarity: 180
Current Trading at: 300k NP
Description:The Yooyu has been revered by Altadorians since it was first discovered. It is the star player in every game of Yooyuball, after all.
The highly honoured Yooyu Petpet was only offered to those dedicated Neopians who managed to earn at least 1,000 Altador Cup prize points. because it was a highly popular choice, its price has not inflated much, due to the vast numbers that were released in this manner.



8. Brilliant Wing Amulet
Type: Altadorian Magic
Rarity: 95
Current Selling at the Wizard: 55k NP
Description: This beautiful amulet glistens in the sun and will help any Neopet in battle. This amazing amulet truly embodies the beautiful workmanship of items created in the kingdom of Altador. This balanced weapon is happily collected by Neopians who enjoy looking pretty while also being prepared for any troublesome encounters that might arise.



9. Altador Cup Fanatic Bobblehead
Type: Toy
Rarity:180
Current Selling at Wizard: 15k NP
Description: Arguably the single greatest item to ever come from Altador is this hysterical bobble-head figure, which was a prize that cost 100 points after the Y8 Altador Cup event.



10. The Astronomy Club
Type: Altadorian Armour
Rarity: 101
Current Approximately Worth: Non-transferable
Description: This club is wielded by the leader of the Astronomy Club of Altador.
This item is only available to those who have reached a certain point in the Altador plot. Once awarded, it can never leave the account, giving it no true value within the Neopian economy. Most keep it in their possession just for the giggle that they get every time they read the item's name.

Some pets have the option to convert their pet from the old neopets art. See HERE for more info.


How to do it?
1. Go to Control Panel.


2. Select the Pet you want to customize.
Go to Quick Reference and select the Pet.

3. Go to Customize button.



or



Other places where you can find the customize Button:


3. Customize.

a. To accessorize your pet, start by Browsing your available items in the Items View Panel on the right side of the screen.

b. In the Items View window, only the items that you own and that are applicable to your current loaded pet will be active. The items that you will not be bale to use will appear grayed out.

c. To apply an item to your pet, drag and drop it on the Neopet View Window on the left side of the screen. Otherwise, you can click on an itme View panel, and it will appear with a detailed description in the window right under yoru Neopet View.

All of the clothes that we have released since the launch of the Neopet Customisation are now wearable! Yay! Keep in mind if an item was released on a pet day it is only wearable by that species.

Dung. Once the word Dung is mentioned, you will be thinking nasty, icky, yucky, smelly ... Did you know that in Neopia, they do have followers? Neopians spend precious NP creating Dung Gallery, furnish their neohome with dung furnitures and equip their pet with dung weapons to go into battledome?

I can't get over some of the description of these items:

Dung Bed - A bed, pillows and cover have been fashioned out of an enormous pile of dung.

Dung Carpet - Great if you want to cover the floor of your NeoHome in dung.

Dung Pizza - Eww dung pizza... you can't seriously expect someone to eat this? (even TNT can't imagine anyone eating this.)

Pile of Dung - That's it. A pile of dung. And you can't even do anything with it. It just sits there.

Anyways, so why is Neopia so caught up in dung? I can't imagine it's because it smells good, tastes good, looks good, feels good, so why do they like it so much? Maybe, just maybe, some TNT member is sitting in their cubicle, thinking how to stink up Neopia?

They're probably the same people that created the Pile of Sludge... Have you seen that sludge? Gosh...

Here's a list of the type of Dung stuff you can get from Neopia:









AVATAR:
Now how can we forget the avatar. Those people in that cubicle will definitely fight for some avatar right. LOL.


How to Get:
View your inventory while carrying 10 different items whose names contain the word "dung".
If you didn't get the Avatar, you may have to refresh a few time.
Avatar will appears at the bottom of the page.

Here's a list of Dung items you can buy - cheap!




Cooking Pot:
Beside avatar, you can also create new item by mixing items in the Cooking Pot.

Try this recipe:
Stuffed Surprise = Almost Gummy Rat (Strawberry) + Chewing Dung







Other Recipe:
Dung Cake = Chewing Dung + Snow Cake

Paintbrush:

Price: 30,000NP
Yap, there is a paintbrush out there. A Dung Paintbrush for your petpets? Poor things! Will this happen to them all the time? And your pet will have to put up with the .....! There is something very wrong here.


Dung Faerie:
A surprise I got when I was searching Dung. I found that there is a secretive and elusive faerie who is known for donating random items at the Meridell Rubbish Dump. However, there is no image of her avialable as yet.

THE DUNG FAERIE

Another luckless faerie, the Dung Faerie hides around the Meridell Rubbish Dump, conjuring up dung for lucky visitors. Is it her fault she got stuck with such a boring job? In her spare time she even goes around Pick your Own, adding dung to the game? Surely she deserves to be noticed as a REAL faerie? Yes, SHE DOES! And she is real, you non believers!

After all, how else would you get the Pick your Own avatar? She deserves her own plushie, a dung mansion, her own Quests and so much more! And if enough people asked for it, maybe she could even get a job in Tyrannia, where she would be much more suited and appreciated.
