How To Get A Krawk

---

Krawks - General Info

• Krawks are the only pet that have never been released to the public in mass either through the create-a-pet, space station or cell phone offer (like the lutari). Because of this, they are a Restricted Neopet. Also due to their rarity and cost TNT have stated they will never release them through any of the steps mentioned above. This means it will never be released on krawk day.
• The petpet krawk was released way before krawk island which is why its only found in the Tyrannian petpet shop. Its the only petpet that managed to become a pet in a strange twist of fate.
• The krawk count located on the neopets popularity list is inaccurate. It does not count pets that were transmogrified, morphed or zapped. This makes it impossible to know how many krawks are out there in the world of neopets.
• The krawk petpet was once given out as a prize for the mystery pic competition when the average price was only around 600,000.

• The petpet is rarely sold in the tyrannian petpet shop. You can buy it as a plain 'krawk'. If you want a different colour you'll have to paint it.
  (See Chart Below for Prices)
• The krawk petpet can be painted 19 different colours, including its original colour green.
• Generally the petpet is just called 'krawk'. The only exception to this is if the petpet was painted a different colour.
  For an example check out my draik's petpet named Grignac.
  Much like painting any petpet you put the colour first when searching. In the case of the krawk petpet, be sure to select 'identical to phrase', otherwise you may get pages of krawk plushies when attempting a search on the trading post.
• The petpet is sold in the trading post and auction house. Again check auctions for cheaper prices.

• Once you have the petpet, you need to equip it to one of three or less pets in order for it to work. Then give it a name that does not exist and take it to the fungus caves on krawk island and let it eat the fungus. If the name is taken nothing will happen.
• You can find the fungus caves HERE or go to krawk island and click on the first cave next to smugglers cove.
• As of 11/22/2006, TNT have stated that the gender of the petpet krawk when taken to the fungus caves is randomly picked.
• When the petpet eats the fungus to become the full fledged krawk, it will be the same colour as you got it as. In this case, the regular krawk petpet will be a green krawk pet.
  This comes in handy if you want to own a more expensive krawk such as plushie and do not want to buy the actual paint brush worth millions of neopoints alone. Or get two avatars in one by feeding a pink krawk petpet fungus. That will result in getting an avatar for owning a krawk and for feeding a pink pet popcorn.

• Originally there was only to be 4 krawk morphing potions for the krawk. In the neopian times it was mentioned that there will be no more created beside the basic colours.
• As of June 18th 2010, there have been 2 new potions created.
• They can be used to change one of your current pets into a krawk pet.
• They can be bought from the trading post or auction house.
  (See Chart Below for Prices)
• They can also be RARELY sold in Kauvaras Magic Shop along with all other morphing potions.
  

  Potion	Type	Kauvaras Magic Shop	Trades/Auctions (Last Seen Price)	Price Change (Current Month)
  	Blue r-99	24,000 nps	11 million nps	NPF
  	Green r-99	N/A	9.9 million nps	NPF
  	Yellow r-99	23,000 nps	15 million nps	NPF
  	Red r-99	22,000 - 27,000 nps	15 million nps	NPF

  	Pirate	N/A	17 million nps	N/C

  
  

• The are currently only 4 different plushies to choose from.
• The magical plushies will change your pets colour and species into a krawk of that colour. For instance: if you let your pet play with a magical blue krawk plushie, it will become a blue krawk. The plushie is a one use item. Afterwards it will become a plain krawk plushie.
• As of yet, I have not found any magical yellow krawk plushies. It could be possible the item has gone extinct.
• This rare plushie is sold in the trading post and auction house. (See Chart Below for Prices)
• It can rarely be restocked at the new plushie shop. (See Chart Below for Prices)
  

  Plushie	Type	Neopian Toy Shop	Trades/Auctions (Last Seen Price)	Price Change (Current Month)
  	Blue r-99	N/A	15 million nps	$
  	Green r-99	18,000 nps	15 million nps	$
  	Yellow r-99	N/A	N/A	Possibly Extinct
  	Red r-99	N/A	25 million nps	NPF

  
  
• It has been several years since I've been able to locate a magical yellow krawk plushie in trades or galleries. Its possible that it may have gone extinct like other rare items. If you know of someone who has it, (does not have to be for sale) feel free to neomail me.

• It hasn't been asked yet, but like draik eggs its not illegal to sell. The petpet is not a pet yet. So no one is trying to sell pets. These little guys are nice companions to any pet until it eats fungus and mutates. Until then its classified as an item along with other petpets.
• Petpets that have been zapped by the lab ray into krawk petpets cannot be transformed into full grown krawks. They are still classified as the petpet it started out as.
  Altachuck + lucky zap = Altachuck in blue krawk custome.
  
• You do not need dubloons to purchase a krawk petpet from "Little Nippers". To clarify this better, krawk petpets are strictly a tyrannian petpet and can be purchased by regular neopoints.
• Krawkadons do NOT become krawks. This includes any petpet sold in "Little Nippers". Remember krawk island was named because its where you take the petpet to make it a pet, not purchase it.
  
  Dang!
  
• WARNING - Do Not confuse Magical krawk plushies with the regular krawk plushies! Both types of plushies look exactly the same. Only one does NOT change your pet into a krawk. Remember it MUST say "Magical" otherwise it won't work. Watch out for Scammers.

Transmogrification Potions

• The trans potion is different from the other morphing potions as all trans potions change your pet into mutant versions of the pet and cannot be bought from any main neopian shops like kauvaras potion shop.
• The transmogrification potion can be bought from the trading post and auction house only.
  (See Chart Below for Prices)
  

  Potion	Type	Doctor Sloth (RE)	Trades/Auctions (Last Known Price)	Price Change (Current Month)
  	Mutant R-108 (Retired)	Free	14 million nps	$
  	Mutant R-101	Free	13 million nps	$

  
  
• If you're lucky you can get it for FREE!! This is the cheapest method if your luck holds true to form. This is all thanks to the Rare Random Event from Doctor Sloth. Remember he finds you, you cannot find him!
  
  All Hail Sloth!
  
• Now, Doctor Sloth doesn't just hand out Draik and Krawk trans potions. He is the only source from which trans potions flow from. So this means you're not guranteed to get the potion you want if he deems you worthy of a visit. You might just walk away with a Moehog trans potion instead.
• If you absolutley cannot stand mutant krawks here's a couple ways to change that.
  1. Buy a paint brush and paint it. Pretty basic.
  2. Do not feed or play with it until it becomes unhappy. This may seem cruel, but there is a random event that will change your pets colour if its unhappy to blue and some now say red. Completely free of charge.
  3. Feed your pet a turnip tonic. Will randomly change your pet(s) colour to one of the 4 basic. (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow)
  4. Feed your pet certain neggs.
  A) Kaleideonegg - Risky - It can change your pets battle stats for better or worse. Can also change species, gender and colour. More like a one time Lab Ray zap. Use at own Risk.
  B) Plaid Negg - Raises the level of one random battledome faerie ability and may paint your pet a basic colour. (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow) Not always guranteed.
  C) Vortex Negg - This negg will paint your pet one of the four basic colours. (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow).
  All neggs are a one time use item.

• Transmogrification potions are Not Sold at Kauvara's Potion Shop.
• Painting a mutant pet will not change the species back. It will remain the same species, only the colour would have changed.

Secret Laboratory Map

Due to a mildly intelligent conversation, I have decided to give the secret laboratory map a section all on its own.

The debate; whether Draiks or Krawks are obtainable through the laboratory, has been ongoing since the beginning when these pets were created and introduced to the site. A debate many cannot fathom the length of time spent arguing amongst each other.

There have been many attempts in contacting The Neopets Team regarding the issue at hand. Each time they have answered in the Neopian Times, it has always been vague to say the very least. Check the most recent Editorial below:

While they stated that not every neopet may be available as a direct result of the laboratory map, it does not state for fact, how many or which ones. No direct proof has ever been given. Therefore no individual can state for fact whether one or the other, even perhaps both are or are not in fact obtainable through the laboratory.

I have been around for many years, I do check the editorials and know for fact that no "rule" or "law" has ever changed regarding the laboratory map function. At least none that The Neopets Team have ever cared to disclose to its players. Anyone claiming this, is 100 percent inaccurate.

These pets, Draiks and Krawks, had for fact been a result of the laboratory map. Krawks are the only ones I have ever believed to be "accidental". Draiks on the other hand I will argue. Advising that no new mention of draiks resulting from the lab map, is not proof. Not many users visit the chat rooms to chat and brag, and I dare say, good for them.

However, with what I believe contends with the theories of others. Indeed I stated theories, to which all should be ignored or acknowledged at a players discretion. With the gaping holes in The Neopets Teams responses, it leaves everyone speculating and interpreting phrases to their own accord.
Assumptions are not facts. By dictionary reference:

Therefore the whole point of this section is to neither deny nor acknowledge the possiblity of a rare and lucky zap.

In conclusion: Take from this all that you want and interpret as you see fit. Should you seek to argue my points further, all neomails regarding this section will be deleted without response. Should you still believe in the possibilites then all I can say is:

The Neopian Pound

Users whose accounts are under 4 months old cannot adopt a draik or krawk either through the pound or transfer ability. Regardless of the pet(s) level. Make sure your account is old enough first if you have an arrangement (via transfer/trade) with someone who is pounding.

With the New Transfer and trading abilities, you may now see less of krawks and draiks entering the pound through regular means of abandonment. The only time you may actually see a draik or krawk enter the pound is if someone is sincerely quitting and does not care who gets it.

Those wanting to get rid of the pet(s) but still playing neopets tend to create topics on the chat boards. Make sure to check the Pound Board or adoption agencies held by guilds through the Guilds Board for possible adoptions or pet trades.

Never, under any circumstance attempt to create a topic asking for pets on the Help Board. Users who see it, will consider it a rude attempt at obtaining a pet worth millions of nps and will consider it "open season". Be careful.

In the eyes of a HC regular, simply asking for anything for free, virtual or not is considered an act of begging no matter how you phrase it.

• Having to seek another method of obtaining.
• Have never been released through the create-a-pet.

• Not made readily available.
• Were once released through the create-a-pet.
  Because draiks were once released through the create-a-pet, they are labelled limited edition rather then restricted as they are now treated.
  Grundos are a prime example. They have never been made available through the create-a-pet option. Rather they can only be created from the grundo space station at any given time of the year. Yet they maintain a restricted status.
  For further clarification read editorial 277

• Prices are updated only once a month (usually in the middle of a month) and if I have time. Be sure to check when this page was last updated if you go by my prices.
• Users whose accounts are under 4 months cannot view items with a rarity of 90 or more in the main neopian shops.
• On Draik Day, it is unknown how low TNT decreases the eggs rarity and if they do it every year or skip one.
• Warning - Prices on Krawk and Draik items in trades and auctions increase dramatically the month before their perspective pet day. Buy before then or wait until two months after for inflation to drop.
• Auctions have an initial cap of 20 million nps. 10 million for starting price and 10 million minimum increasement.
• I am still working out the kinks, and soon I'll get the quick links working to better navigate the page so you can avoid the sections you don't need :)
