ANSWERS

Now it is time to see how you did!

1. Which of these terms has previously been used by TNT to describe Skeiths?

D. “Neopia’s most loveable, cute, and mild tempered Neopet ”

Fun Facts: While I am guessing most of you guessed “it’s ugly!,” it was actually Buzzes that were called ugly by TNT when they were first introduced on July 24, 2000 (Y2). On September 25, 2002 (Y4), Skeiths were described as loveable and cute. Perhaps they were just being nice since it *was* Skeith Day.

2. Which of these games features a Skeith as a central character?

C. Double or Nothing

Fun facts: Double or Nothing was first introduced to Neopets on September 25, 2002 (Y4), in celebration of Skeith Day. For only 10 neopoints per game, you can challenge Snargan the Castle Treasurer to a coin toss. But beware – if you lose, he will take your winnings!

3. Which of the following food items is not real Skeith food?

A. Chocolate and Banana Skeith Pudding

Not so fun fact: Unfortunately there is no such thing as Chocolate and Banana Skeith Pudding... yet. It does sound delicious, though! *yum*

4. Which of the following Skeiths can you not create with a paint brush?

D. Chocolate

Fun Facts: Alright, so perhaps this one was a bit of a trick question! All of the above Skeith colors currently exist, so you can get a Chocolate Skeith if you really want one. However, there is no such thing as a Chocolate Paint Brush, so technically you cannot create Chocolate Skeiths with paint brushes.

5. According to the Neopian Pronunciation guide, how is “Skeith” pronounced?

B. Skeeth

Fun Facts: On June 29, 2000 (Y2), TNT announced the release of their Learn to Speak Neopian! page, in which pet names were pronounced for those Neopians that were not quite sure how to say the names of their favorite pets. The page also includes the pronunciation for the names of villains, heroes, petpets, and a few other words as well. According to this page, the correct pronunciation for “Skeith” is “Skeeth.”

6. According to the pet information for Skeiths, which of the following statements is true?

B. They are the largest inhabitants of Neopia.

Fun Facts: Yep! Skeiths are the largest inhabitants of Neopia. The pet information also says that they are “quite strong but also lazy, preferring to get smaller creatures to do things for them.”

7. What is the name of the Grumpy Old King in Meridell who happens to be a Skeith?

C. King Skarl

Fun Facts: If you guessed King Hagan, you would be close, but not close enough. King Hagan is actually the Wise Old King who lives in Brightvale. The Grumpy King’s name is King Skarl. Why not go cheer him up with a joke? He may just decide to give you a faboo prize!

8. What colors are in the default Skeith avatar?

A. Blue, Yellow

Fun Facts: The default Skeith avatar is indeed blue and yellow. Other great Skeith avatars include “Skeith - Jelly Processing Plant” and “Feed Me” – Why not go use them in honor of Skeith Day? If you can figure out how to get them, that is...

9. Out of all of the 54 Neopets in existence, where do Skeiths rank in terms of popularity?

B. Somewhere in the middle

Fun Facts: Skeiths currently rank in the 30s in terms of Neopet popularity. If we all band together and create 14,000,000 more Skeiths, however, they will shoot up to the top of the list!

10. Which of the following superneopet powers do Skeiths have?

D. They can eat weapons.

Fun Facts: Since May 4, 2001 (Y3), Skeiths have been able to eat anything they want, including weapons! Better hide your valuables...

SCORES

Now it is time to see how you have scored!

If you scored 10 points...

Wow, you really know everything there is to know about Skeiths! Be proud of yourself, Neopets Master.

If you scored an 8-9...

You know quite a bit about Skeiths! I’m sure you also knew the answer(s) to the question(s) that you missed; they probably just slipped your mind for a second.

If you scored a 6-7...

You are pretty smart when it comes to Skeiths, but perhaps it would help if you studied up a bit! May I suggest Top Secret Skeith Stuff as new reading material?

If you scored a 5 or below...

Oh dear, it seems that you aren’t too knowledgeable when it comes to Skeiths. But fear not, there are 53 other Neopets that I am sure you know a lot about!
