Hannah's Adventures: the Kreludor Caves

You control Hannah – and this time, unlike Ice Caves, it’s only her – and your mission is to collect treasure chests around the map, and when you are done, enter the door. If you have ever played Pirate Caves or Ice Caves I am sure you know that even though it sounds simple, it isn’t.

Y17 In Colour

Another year has gone by, and Y17 certainly gave us a lot of nice Neopet colours. It saw the release of a brand new Paint Brush, and most Neopet species were treated to two lovely new colours at the Rainbow Pool. Looking back through the entire year, at all the new colours, I have chosen my favourites from each month.

More Of Your Neopets Neuroses!

There's certainly no lack of neuroses around here. Although my first article was chock full of our quirks and idiosyncrasies, it still took me a mere hour to collect a brand new batch of neuroses for this second article! I canvassed the Neoboards, asking my fellow players what their neuroses are. I got many interesting replies!

Judging the Best and the Worst Game Trophy Designs

Not all trophies were made equal however. Some are quite beautiful, in both design and representation, while others don't quite meet the mark, or a plain eyesore for the typical to even want to glance. After carefully judged all the available trophies, and a few cups of tea, a team of experts have come up with a list of trophies that will add… visual spark to your User Lookup.

Cleaning Up Neopia, One Avatar Attempt at a Time

The Rubbish Avatar. It was released nearly 4 years ago on February 9, Y14. Yes, 4 years ago, and it is still uncommon to see it apart of someone’s avatar count. It’s one of those stubborn avatars. It’s a random avatar that has Neopians everywhere feeling frustrated.

Unconventional Uses for Jhudoras Fingernails

If you've taken a look at any of the Jhudora-themed wearables lately, you will have noticed the hideousness of the Jhudora Fingernails. To be fair, there are some good Jhudora wearables out there, but as a general rule, these fingernails aren't the classiest of the bunch.

Celebrating Kacheek Day as a Newly-Morphed Kacheek

For Kacheeks all around Neopia, this means a day of mirth and merriment in celebration of our species’ long and storied history. For some of us, however, this day can be quite confusing as well. This is because some Kacheeks, such as myself, were not born as Kacheeks, but ended up becoming one for some reason or another.

The Soft Side of Eliv

Perhaps there's a soft side to the spirit that lives in the abandoned castle in the Haunted Woods... or perhaps not.

"Zapped and Pounded" by light_faerie382
Drip, drip, drip…. I looked up at the ceiling. Water dripped from a newly formed crack onto the stone floor. Great. Another problem to make my life in here more miserable. I looked around my cage. There was no way to tell if it was day or night, not in this dark, windowless space. The only furnishings the room held was a small cot and a sink in the corner. My food and water bowls were empty, not that they were very full to start with. Three stone walls surrounded me, my only connection to the outside world being through the rusty bars of the cage. The pink Uni walked by my cage and stopped in front, giving me a sad smile. “How’re you doing, One?” I regarded her wearily. She was a kind soul with a gentle heart, but even so, there was only so much she could do, only so far her kindness could spread over those of us at the Pound. And there were so many of us. “My ceiling is leaking.” She peered up at the dank, dark ceiling. “Oh dear. I’ll see if I can find a bucket somewhere.” “Thanks.” I settled back with a sneeze. “Still no luck with a cure?” “Afraid not. I’m sorry One. The pharmacy only has so many Magic Cookies…” I sighed. “It’s okay. I didn’t have high hopes.” I never have high hopes for anything now.

Tallydepp and the Imperial Exam
Uni cake was Tallydepp's favourite food and usually the sweet aroma would stop her in her tracks, but today the excited Uni didn't even notice. She pulled a letter from her school satchel, her hooves shaking slightly. "Look! Look!" she cried. "I've finally been selected to try out for the Imperial Exam!"

Sir Tormund Ellis: A Documentary: Part Two
I trained officially with my sword before him, and I got sent into those disgusting sewers before him, and I woke up at the crack of dawn before him, and I think I might have even been Master Torak's favourite before him — I swear. But, you know, the day he came in, there was this... aura around him, like he was constantly surrounded by light motes.
