Five Things Neopians Should Know About the Candychans

5. You should show your immense love for the Candychan by buying lots of stuff.

Not that there is a lot of stuff for you to buy. For some reason, the tricky shops only have produced seven items dedicated to the Candychan. SEVEN!!! An insult that is, but I digress. You should buy those items anyway, even if there are not many of them.

I will even put them in order from best item to... not as best. You cannot really have a bad item if it features the Candychan!

1. The Candychan Plushie

Aww, this plushie looks so adorable you just have to pick it up and cuddle it!

This happens to be a personal favorite. How wonderful to be able to hug a Candychan friend all day long.

2. Sliding Candychan Puzzle

A traditional toy that will keep your Neopet amused for hours.

Have fun recreating your favorite petpet’s face over and over!

3. Candychan Usuki Set

Give your Usuki doll the petpet they’ve always wanted with this cool Candychan set.

Candy canes and a pretty blue Candychan doll for your Usuki doll? Does not get much better than that!

4. Candychan (TCG)

Every link in the food chain is connected to the Candychan.

Now, the Trading Card Game is only stupendous because of its wonderful inclusion of the Candychan! No need to be a TCG collector to get this card.

5. Candychan Stamp

Now you can own a Candychan stamp, even if you don’t have one as a petpet.

Lick ‘em and stick ‘em. This stamp brightens up any album, even if it is supposedly only 50 NP worth of mailing.

6. Snow Angel Rug (though we know it really means "Candychan Rug")

Super thick and luxurious to walk on.

Although, I can not imagine that anyone would want to walk on this beautiful masterpiece of a rug. Maybe it should be hung on the wall instead.

7. Snow Angel Sculpture (again, it should really be "Candychan Sculpture")

What a cute sculpture for your mantelpiece.

So adorable, such a great replica of the Candychan, that you may just want to hug it.

4. Candychans are funny petpets.

My, it seems many Neopians do not believe this, since the Candychan seems to sort of be frowning.

But they are not frowning. They are pondering, thinking up something witty and brilliant to say, something that is sure to bring you to tears because you can not help but laugh to no end.

They have amused Neopets in Meridell...

... the Snowager in the Month of Celebrating...

... some Tonus at a birthday party (it does not matter that technically it is a Candychan plushie. It is still representative of the Candychan)...

... and they have brilliantly amused some Unis, including a cardboard one. You do not get much cleverer or funnier than the Candychan!

3. They love the snow.

Oh, my, they do indeed! One of the Snow Candychan’s favorite things to do is being buried into the snow and blink his charcoal eyes up at passers-by. It startles Neopians quite a bit, and amuses the Candychan.

They also thoroughly enjoy playing a variety of games. Sometimes, they can entice a Neopet into acting like a sled.

Goodness, that looks like fun! They also enjoy playing other snow games such as the Garage Sale Game with Mika and Carassa, Cliffhanger and Snow Wars. They may be tiny petpets, but they are fierce competitors!

2. The Candychan has a job.

They work long and hard at Wintery Petpets. They work long hours, but never fear! They do have rotating shifts. If you were a Candychan expert, you would be able to tell the difference between each Candychan. Everyone says they all look the same, but they are as different as us Neopians!

Anyway, they have the very important job of sales petpet. Along with a Fir and a Raindorf, the Candychan helps Neopians find the petpet that is just right for him or her or someone else if they are shopping for a gift.

One can find Abominable Snowballs, Gwallas, Snowickles, Jinjahs, Onas, and yes, even Candychans from time to time. But as was mentioned, they thoroughly enjoy hiding in the snow, so they often are not for sale. They are listed as a "rarity 99," but really, look in the snow and you will find tons of Candychans. The Candychan does not enjoy selling his friends off to Neopians, as he feels that they are meant to be free. The Fir usually has to take care of those sales. Poor Candychans!

Well, that is the main portion of the job - helping Neopians pick out lovely petpets. They also sit in the window, sometimes, and look cute to pull people into the shop. No better place to buy petpets than a place with a Candychan in the window! They also occasionally play with the petpets that are waiting to be purchased. Need them looking happy so some Neopians comes by and snatches them up! The Bruce takes care of all the grunt work, like cleaning the place. Candychans have far more important things to do. Like fly away and snicker at the Bruce for being stuck cleaning.

1. The Candychan is pretty.

There are so many beautiful Candychans, although not many are recognized outside of the Red Candychan. That is because the Red Candychans are the ones who work, while the other ones do other very important, secretive, Candychan things. Because I am kind and wonderful, I will let you in on some of these super important secrets.

The Snow Candychan hides in the snow and sneaks up on Neopians. What super important purpose does the Snow Candychan serve? Why, it keeps the entire Candychan population amused with its antics! This is very important. All work and no play does not do the Candychans any good.

The Blue Candychans are the biters. If you would happen to poke one, he or she would bite you. They serve as the defense system against enemies to the Candychans. (Not that there are any; after all, who does not love a Candychan, but just in case... )

Arr, Pirate Candychans serve an important purpose indeed. They are the translators. They translate pirate-speak into something the rest of us can understand. If you think pirates do not need translators, then clearly, you have never spoken with one. Lots of confusion can take place. Best to be on the safe side and have the Candychans translate for you.

If you need something technologically advanced pilfered from the Virtupets Space Station, you call on a Mutant Candychan. While the rest of the Candychans enjoy lazing about in the snow, the Mutant Candychan finds all the cold metal fascinating. Thus, they tend to hang out in Virtupets. This is also how the Candychans, as a whole, are terribly sneaky. The Mutant Candychans are able to get top-secret technology from the Space Station... I have said too much.

Yay! They are cute, huggable, squishy and a Candychan! A Plushie Candychan, to be exact. They serve as super sneaky decoys. They look like a toy, but they are really just distracting you while the others do super secret Candychan stuff. I would tell you what that stuff is, but you do not have the authority to know.

If you need a party, you call the only Candychans that can throw the bash of the year - Island Candychans! They are all for living it up, and having a blast. While the Snow Candychans are also entertaining, there are plenty of pets (crazy ones) that do not always view scaring people by hiding in the snow as the most fun thing in the world, and thus, the Island Candychan saves the day!

Are you afraid of the dark? Then get a Ghost Candychan to travel with you. Not only are Ghost Candychans not afraid of the dark, they are also sort of spooky looking themselves. This means that they can frighten away odd things that may be lurking just around the bend. This spiffy skill comes in handy more often than you might think.

And finally, the Rainbow Candychan. What do they do, you ask. Why, they look pretty. Which is a more important job than you might think. They are skilled at getting Neopians to see their side of things, because they are pretty, sparkly and vaguely shiny. You might be amazed at how frequently that can get people to see things the Candychan way!

Alas, we have run out of the top five things you should know about Candychans. What will you do know? Why, run right out and incorporate the Candychan into more aspects of your life. What are you doing being Candychan-less like that? You need to buy everything Candychan you can get your paws on! And while you are at it, don’t forget to NOT step on the Candychans hiding in the snow.
