A Caretaker’s Guide to Void Petpets

The following article is taken from the research procedure log of Eventide Grundo, Calder Valin, as he conducted his observations on the new void-touched Petpets that have started circulating around Neopia. Purpose of these notes are to observe and create procedures for the Void Petpets’ behaviours, mannerisms, and safety of our Void-affected companions. These Petpets are being housed in a special, secure annex within this Petpet care facility. I. Intake Procedures When a new Void Petpet arrives, it is important to require some necessary details. Confirm owner paperwork, or fill out the wild Petpet form. Trust me when I say this: it will create less headaches down the line when owners come to retrieve their Petpets. I have found it interesting to record the Petpets glow intensity upon intake as it can vary Petpet-to-Petpet. Other things to observe and note is if the Petpet is making any unusual sounds outside of their species and if the Petpet casts more than one shadow—void orbs are known to disappear and reappear around the small creatures. (Almost like they have their very own orbit!)
