Ancient Beginnings
Welcome to
Ancient, a site made just for our beloved "prehistoric Neopian land"
Tyrannia. We have our plushies, our greys, and faeries -- all with recognition and a page of their own. I believe it is time these exotic pets and beautiful territories have a chance. The site was found on March 9th, 2011 by me,
Kelly -
which was also the same date and time when I had received
Alex. Alex the Tyrannian Draik, will be guiding you along the path of these ancient lands. I won't waste anymore of your time here; there is a lot to explore!

Tyrannia
This prehistoric Neopian land was once miles beneath the Ice Caves... Go there for dung furniture, evil pterodactyls, rock concerts, and of course a giant omelette!
(Drag to URL view full size)
Ahhhh,
Tyrannia. It is located north-east on the map of Neopia and consists of two major parts; the Plateau and the Jungle. Exclusive Info: There was once a third part to Tyrannia a long time ago. This third part was known as the Volcano. It offered some shops, and a quest hosted by a wocky-scientist that was lost in time. This quest was very similar to the Kitchen Quest offered in Mystery Island. But even without the volcano, there is lots to do at this wonderful place still. Nearly every game offers an avatar to obtain. (See Avatars section to view them.)
Tyrannia was first uncovered in 2001. It was found when a earthquake had hit Ice Caves; creating a mysterious crack. Curious as we were, the Neopians climbed down the opening and came to a halt when their view was blocked by roots, vines, and vegetation. A Chomby from the other side of this, then ate away the plants, allowing us into their world! Click here to see the event in flash.
Quickly proceeding the discovery was a plot known as The Tyrannian Invasion. Strange and scary objects were approaching Tyrannia and Neopians were at the edge of their seats! Neopians were called upon at the battledome to defeat these retread creatures, including the most famous; the Monoceraptor.
To the left is a picture of the war.
Those were the monsters that were invading Tyrannia!
Info from Neo-News: Every single person who participated in the Tyrannian Invasion by beating at least one enemy will be rewarded with 10,000 Neopoints, plus a medal that will always show on their User Lookup. In addition, the brave Lupe that dealt the killing blow will be rewarded with 1,000,000 Neopoints plus an item of his choice.
The following medal was awarded:
Pets & Petpets
There is currently a total of
43 Tyrannian pets and
67 petpets. Only
13 of the pets were kept unconverted - this means that pets painted now will look as the converted version, and never again can a UC Tyrannian be created. The species preserved are Blumaroo, Bori, Draik, Ixi, Kau, Krawk, Lenny, Mynci, Nimmo, Peophin, Quiggle, Skeith, and Techo. (Visit our Directory to get a glimpse at these rare pets!) There are various ways to obtain a
converted Tyrannian Pet, as well as petpet.
How to Obtain a Tyrannian Pet
o.1) Paint using a
Tyrannian Paint Brush. The brush costs around 130k - 200k. The price will probably not pass 250k because of the fact that they can be rewarded from
Keyquest,
Wheel on Monotony, and
The Phantom Painter (RE). This is the best choice and safest option.
o.2) Zapping via
Secret Laboratory Ray. The value of the lab set varies but it is usually under/around 1 mil. This option can be very risky because the lab ray can change species, color, gender, and more. It is not suggested if you are aiming for a specific pet to be Tyrannian.
o.3) Using a
Morphing Potion. There are only six Tyrannian morphing potions as of yet (Bori, Flotsam, Gnorbu, JubJub, Nimmo, Usul). They are not very worth it unless you would like the morph on an already existing pet with a different species. I would refrain from these as some can be VERY costly.

How to Obtain a Tyrannian Petpet
o.1) Paint using a
Tyrannian Petpet Paint Brush. This paint brush is buyable (99,999nps and under) and will make a very snazzy petpet! I personally think it's a great buy compared to some of the other priced Petpet Paint Brushes out there. *Cough* Faerie.
o.2) Lucky Zap from the
Petpet Laboratory Ray. Again with the lab rays; very risky. The petpet map can only be obtained after completing the secret one. In addition, the Petpet Laboratory Map can make your petpet vannish into thin air. The Tyrannian Petpet Paint Brush is not very expensive nor hard to find. Zapping would create a Tyrannian randomly-specied petpet and leave a not-so-pleasant
sign.

Tyrannian Games
Eleven wonderful games are found in Tyrannia. All of them are fairly easy (under 5 difficulty). Most of these games have an avatar challenge available; see Avatars section. Click the name of the game to Play Now!
*Extra game not found directly in Tyrannia.
Chia Bomber 2
Difficulty: 4.0
This is the version 2 of Chia Bomber. The first version is no longer up for Neopians to play but this second version is just as fun, in my opinion. The game is rather face-paced and challenging.
Destruct-O-Match III
Difficulty: 4.4
This game is a classic! Now that is why there is a Destruct-O-Match III; there was too much fun to fit in just one.
Go! Go! Go!
Difficulty: 3.1
Ahh, this game is so! so! so! (see what I did thar? xD) easy to play and understand. It is fun, and quick. Plus, you can get
this snazzy trophy out of it.
Kacheekers
Difficulty: n/a
Kacheekers is Neopets' version of the reknown classic game of checkers. There is no difficulty rating for this but the game is fairly easy.
Keno
Difficulty: 3.8
Keno is a luck game. I would compare it to
The Neopian Lottery, except that the results are different for all individuals. Plus, it's much much faster; you get your number results in the click of a button.
Pterattack
Difficulty: 4.2
This is another game based on a classic arcade game; Meteor Blast. However, this version is much more enhanced. There are power-ups, distractions (annoying red grarrl), and many more obstacles.
Tyrannian Mini Golf
Difficulty: 3.9
Mini Golf! I'm sure you've played some type of golf before. If you're good with angles, this game is for you. Regardless of that, this game is very enjoyable and will have you hooked for a while.
Tyranu Evavu
Difficulty: 3.2
Higher or lower? -- That is the question to ask. I enjoy this game because it is quick and good for entertainment. However, losing at a high level may tick you off!
Volcano Run II
Difficulty: 4.6
Volcano Run is yet another version of a classic game; Helicopter. For this game, you must be attentive at all times. Focus and diligence is the key.
Wheel of Mediocrity
Difficulty: 3.1
What more can I say? It's a luck-kinda game.
Wheel of Monotony
Difficulty: 3.5
I don't play this game much, solely for the fact that I'm lazy. You can keep this open as another tab if you choose to try your luck for the grand prize.
Bouncy Supreme *
Difficulty: 4.7
This game is not found directly in Tyrannia but I felt that it belonged within the category. The surrounding is in Tyrannia and the game features "The Beast".
Tyrannian Avatars
There are many avatars in Neopia that are Tyrannian-based and found in Tyrannia. Here they are:
