Gnorbu in History

Short Gnorbu History

Welcome. Let's get started shall we? As you must know all Neopets have a pretty story and so do we *grins* and naturally we also have a lovely Neopedia article. What? You thought we didn't? They are all displayed below please read carefully. See that picture there? Well if you didn't recognize it then you must be new to Gnorbu. That is what we used to look like before the wonderful talented TNT changed us...aren't we much cuter like this?! I think we are! Enjoy reading and remember what is says next time you play with your Gnorbu *hides Whoopie Cushion behind back*

	The Gnorbu is a Llama-like Neopet released on January 6, 2006. The Gnorbu was originally made public under the name Llamameeah, as part of the April Fool's joke in 2005. Several months after voting was held for what April Fool's Neopet to release, a few images of the Gnorbu appeared on the image servers." (Wikipedia)
Gnorbu are fun-loving Neopets who enjoy making others laugh. Despite its natural lack of agility, the Gnorbu's kind heart and good-natured outlook have succeeded in making it a very popular Neopet." (Description)
Gnorbu are generally best known for their spirited sense of humor. " "Witty remarks, comical stories, and quotable quips are their forte! A Gnorbu is never above having a good laugh, even if it's at their own expense. They also enjoy social activities such as browsing through the shops in Neopia Central or enjoying a bite to eat with their closest friends." (Neopedia)
Did you know?
On the pet popularity list Gnorbu is on the 43rd place meaning there are currently aprox. 1,130,000 Gnorbu in Neopia. (Shall we make the numbers go up?) Although there is no audio provided on the Neopian Pronunciation page, Gnorbu is pronounced 'nore-boo' according to the editorial in Issue 236 of the Neopian Times.

Famous Gnorbu

Well now that you know where we come from of course you would like to know if there are any Gnorbu characters or evil Gnorbu around. And yes there are Gnorbu in Neopia that have earned the name of 'Famous Gnorbu', here they are:

	Captain Tuan - One faithful day in Neopia a strange ship appeared from nowhere to Mystery Island. The captain of the ship is called Captain Tuan, a blue Gnorbu. He is the powerful leader of the Cykodarkes Gaze, a ship that sailed there from Shenkuu. After I helped him solve a mystery of a disappeared crew member they returned to Shenkuu.		Wise Old Gnorbu - You have come to visit the Shenkuu Lunar Temple where a wise old Gnorbu lives. He maintains the official lunar calendar for Shenkuu. The wise Gnorbu says: "I carefully observe the movement of the globes and track them here on my chart. Do you think you have what it takes to accurately track the movement of Kreludor?" Here you will be able to test your wisdom with the challenge given to you by the wise old Gnorbu daily. For more info and help this guide.
	The Princess - The Princess is a Green Gnorbu created on March 16, 2007 with the release of Shenkuu Warrior. She is the youngest daughter of The Emperor of Shenkuu and training to be a warrior. Princess Lunara is her older sister.		Derlyn Fonnet is a Purple Gnorbu and Left Defender for Kreludor's Yooyuball team of 2006. As powerful and tough as any defender playing today, this Gnorbu's offensive abilities are what set her apart as a truly unique talent. Not only can she tackle a forward and wrestle the ball away, but unlike most defenders she can also turn upfield and lead the offense, displaying an incredibly light touch as a scorer or passer.
	Mirsha Grelinek is a Brown Gnorbu, and plays Left Forward and Team Captain for Shenkuu's Yooyuball team of 2007. As a young, fast and talented forward, Mirsha Grelinek excels at scoring and running plays, but lacks consistency and strength.		Scrap - After being blamed for a crime he claims not to have committed, Scrap stole passage on the ship in an effort to escape. He quickly won the admiration of Roxton, who agreed to take him under his wing, and the animosity of Captain Rourke, who sets him to cleaning the deck right away. Later Scrap is featured in a new neopian game Stowaway Sting.
