The Enchanted Amulet

Once upon a spooky Neopets Halloween, there lived two very peculiar Petpets.

Beneath Bomberry Bridge

Thursday nights are Gahwaine’s turn to go foraging. Everyone waits impatiently for his return; the Mutant Skeith knows the best places to scrounge up mostly unblemished omelettes and only half- stepped-on jellies.

The sky was bleeding orange and purple over the tops of trees as dusk swept across the Haunted Woods on the night of Halloween.

A Story No One Knows

How the Usul twins came to be in the Haunted Woods on the most mischief-filled night of the year rather than enjoying a balmy sunset from their beach-side bookshop half a world away was the result of an unfortunate lack of calendar awareness (it's always summer on Mystery Island!) and a deceptive-but-not-technically-false bit of advertising on the part of the Krawk they hired to sail them across the ocean.

Happiness Faerie's Halloween Hints



Greetings, Neopians! It’s your favourite Happiness Faerie, chief Halloween correspondent, here - writing in to the Neopian Times to share all the wonderful ways you can spend this day with your family and friends. No matter where you are, from the depths of Maraqua to the orbit of Virtupets Station, the Happiness Faerie has the best advice for pumpkin-picking to decorating your secret lair to which houses give the best candy when trick-or-treating! Neopia Central Of course, where else to start but the centre of Neopia? Ha, I bet you thought I’d start with the Haunted Woods. Bet I surprised you there! The best streets for candy are Wishing Well Drive and Chia Close - the former as you’ll gain whatever candy you wish for; and the latter, of course, due to its place as the starting place of the Chocolate Chia Day Parade. Magical Road is a strong contender, though, with its supernatural treats. Avoid Soup Alley unless you want the rest of your candy to melt in broth - when they ladle out soup they don’t give you a fresh container! Mystery Island If you’re in for a healthy treat instead of candy - then your priorities don’t line up with mine. Head to Fruity Path or Training Square, where the focus is on fitness. Island Crescent is the place for candy here. But even these well-populated neighbourhoods aren’t safe from the Ghost Lupe, so don’t travel alone - especially Chias. For those interested in a supernatural fright, have the Island Mystic read your fortune or settle in for a retelling of the story of Sacrificers with the Underwater Chef. That Mumbo Pango is certainly someone to be admired! Maybe Garoo can set up something like that for...
