Welcome to Neopets Classic!

Neopets Classic (also known as NPC) strives to give users the experience of retail from the years 2000-2007! The core concept of the game is quite similar, but there are a few quality of life enhancements, updates, and unique features added. This guide strives to highlight them all for you, as well as making starting out a little less daunting. Now, let's dive right in!

Getting Started

After your account has been created, you're going to want to create your first Neopet! Neopets are probably the main reason you're here, after all!

There are plenty of Neopets to choose from and most are available for creation at any time - with the exception of Limited Edition and Restricted breeds.

There are two ways to obtain your very own Neopet!

Create a brand new pet on the Create-A-Pet page

Adopt an already existing pet at the Neopian Pound

Limited Edition pets are released in small batches at random throughout their respective pet days. Restricted pets are never released via create a pet*, but must be obtained in unique ways - such as the use of a morphing potion, hatching a Draik egg into a Draik, or growing up a petpet Krawk into an adult Krawk neopet! *NOTE: Lutari are a restricted breed released once per year on their Pet Day, as there are no Lutari MPs.

Create a Neopet

If you would like to create a Neopet, head on over to the Create-A-Pet page. Click View All Neopets! to choose your first pet. All users start with 4 pet slots, meaning you can own a maximum of 4 Neopets while starting out.

As you progress through the site, you may just stumble upon a Pet Token! This token adds an additional pet slot to your account. As long as you have the slots, there are no limits to how many pets you could own.

While you create your first Neopet, please note the following:

All names are unique. This means that you cannot create a name which already exists

You can only use alphanumeric characters in their name (all letters from A-Z, all numbers from 0-9, underscores _, and hyphens -)

There are additional default gender options (None, Non-binary, and Other)

If you would like to change your pet's gender later, there is an item called Gender Fluid which just might help!

While some adult language is allowed on NPC, please be mindful to not create a name which could upset another user. Please refer to the Site Rules for more information

Adopt a Neopet

If you are a kind-hearted soul who is searching for the perfect addition to your Neofamily, then the Neopian Pound is for you! You can adopt, pound, or transfer pets here.

To adopt a Neopet, simply click on the Pink Uni. There, you can browse all of the available pets waiting for a new owner.

To abandon a Neopet, click on the Yellow Techo. (But there's no need to do that!)


Do you want to give away your Neopet but do not want to leave it in that dingy pound? If you have already found a new owner for your Neopet, then the transfer page is for you. This is the best and most risk-free method to ensure Neopets you are moving end up where you want them to go!
