Introduction

Unconverted pets - also known as 'old art' pets. Some of the most sought-after pets out there, mainly because UC pets cannot be obtained through creating and painting anymore, and also because quite a few of them are considered better-looking than their converted counterparts. Sometimes you keep hearing someone mention unconverted pets, yet you've no idea what they are, or perhaps you want to have a look at images of Neopia's UC pets. You've come to the right place.

What is an unconverted pet?

As most of you know, in April 2007, the site went through a major change. The overall site layout was modified, and most importantly of all, our pets were converted - in other words, re-drawn. It happened without warning and most pets were converted automatically to fit the new looks. However, owners of certain species/colour combinations (226, to be exact) were given an option to have their pets stay the same instead of getting converted automatically, because TNT thought the changes were more drastic for these pets. The pets that remained unchanged are known as unconverted pets.

Because the main point of converting the pets was to make them customisable, unconverted pets cannot be customised with most wearable items.

How do I know whether or not my pet is unconverted?

The easiest way to tell is to visit your quick ref. Under the 'Notices' section, there will be a message if your pet is unconverted - as circled in the screenie below:

Is there a way to unconvert my pet?

As much as we'd love to... THERE IS NO WAY TO 'UNCONVERT' YOUR PET, OR TO CREATE AN UNCONVERTED PET. Not even if your pet was originally converted and you clicked on the "convert my pet" button. This change is PERMANENT, whether or not you were given a choice to have your pet stay unconverted - so think carefully if you're considering pressing that button! You will not have a chance to undo this decision!

I have one of the pets listed below, but mine is converted. Why?

The pets that got the option of staying UC were painted before the re-draws. Any pet painted after the re-draws are automatically converted.

If I pound/transfer my UC pet, will it convert?

Fortunately, no. Savvore was brought to my account via transfer, and he's unconverted, just like before!

If I paint/morph my UC pet, will he/she remain the old art?

No. If you change your pet's appearance in any way, IT WILL CONVERT.

What about if I change his/her gender?

If you use a Strange Potion to change your UC pet's gender, it will stay unconverted and change gender. The art will stay the same. Say, if you used the potion on a Royalboy pet, you will not end up with a Royalgirl version - merely a female Royalboy pet.

However, if you use the lab ray and your UC pet changes gender, IT WILL CONVERT. If the pet was Royal, you will have both sets of Royal clothing for the species. Like I said, there is no way to change an UC pet's appearance without converting it.

My pet was painted/created before the re-draws. Why is he/she converted?

As I've said before, only certain species/colour combinations were given the option. If your pet wasn't one of those given the option, it was automatically converted.

Protecting your UC Pet

Hopefully you understand now how rare and special your unconverted pet is! Chances are, you'll want him/her to stay unconverted forever. Here are some ways you can ensure your UC pet remains UC for the years to come.

Unless your pet is a Krawk, or an UC Baby pet (confirmed in Editorial #368), avoid having him/her as your active pet. Who knows when Boochi or the Invisible Random Event will come? (Krawks are safe as they cannot be Baby or Invisible, and Boochi cannot zap a pet that is already Baby, UC or not. :D)

Keep your unconverted pet happy and fed. While this is something most people will do for any pet, if a pet is unhappy, angry, hungry, or sick, he/she may get hit by the Red/Blue Random Events. Which will, of course, cause your pet to lose its unconverted status.
