From benevolent faeries to sinister villains, Neopians have come to adore (or fear) these iconic figures who appear in quests, games, and stories across the site. Here’s an expanded guide to some of Neopia’s most well-known personalities, including their roles, backstories, and where you might encounter them.
If you don’t see your favorite Neopian character listed, feel free to reach out—we’re always looking to complete our collection!
ILLUSEN
Illusen is a beautiful earth faerie that runs “Illusen’s Glade”, a cool quest game with awesome prizes if you’re able to complete her quests. She is a huge part of Meridell and the wars.
DR. SLOTH
Dr. Sloth is an evil man who used Grundos as his slaved. He tried to take over Neopia – but failed. Don’t worry, this isn’t the last we’ve heard of him. He has many evil plans up his sleeves…
THE TOOTH FAERIE
This fairy runs around randomly and gives your pets money for losing their teeth! Be sure to slip your neopets teeth under their pillows at night, and a Random Event is sure to pop out while you’re surfing around.
GHOST LUPE
This is a ghost lupe, but don’t worry, he won’t harm your pets! He lives to heal your pets back up to full hit points ever so often. He is a very friendly lupe, when he isn’t terrorizing Neopia in the Defenders of Neopia game!
TAELIA – SNOW FAERIE
This Faerie is the famous Snow Faerie. Her real name is Taelia, she lives up in Terror Moutain. If you complete her quests, she will reward you greatly. She is a very generous and caring Faerie, so don’t be scared!
BOOCHI
Be afraid of this little devil. He runs around firing at unsuspecting pets and turning them into Baby Neopets! He comes through a random event, although sometimes if you’re lucky he’ll miss!
LUPURUS
This scary three headed dog preys through the Haunted Woods looking for anything to snack on, from noobs to elites, from newbies to experienced players. Don’t worry, this dog doesn’t bite.. much.
BLACK PTERI
This scary bird is very mysterious. He likes his prey fresh…beware. Pteri’s are known to be annoying, but I think this neopet prefers to eat his prey rather than tourment it.
FYORA – QUEEN FAERIE
This gracious Queen owns Faerieland and rules over many things, takes care of many Neopets and her faeries. She runs the Faerie Quests, and often asks for things herself. You can find her running the hidden tower.
VIRA
She is an evil witch who loves to battle in the battledome. Beware, she likes to bite and fly around in Random Events. She is in the Gallery of Evil, and has been known to do some very bad things throughout Neopia.
SSSIDNEY
He owns the Deserted Fairground Scratchcards. He has known to be cheap and sneaky, so be careful when purchasing a scratchcard from him unless you wanted to be cheated out of 1,200 neopoints in return for a fake card!
JHUDORA
She envies Illusen and hates her dearly. She is the dark faerie named Jhudora, and like Illusen, does quests for prizes. The two are always in competition and in hate.
PANT DEVIL
This little bugger likes to steal your items! Not only does he love to steal your items, but scaring you is also one of his favorite things to do. Be sure to keep your items locked away in your safety deposit box (SDB) if you don’t want your items stolen away from you!
Meuka | |
This Meerca is produced or pure snot – ick. He’ll make your pets sick if you get too close. |
Shadow Usul | |
Another theif amount the rest. Although, she will reward you with her NeoDeck card if you are lucky. |
Hubrid | |
He hasn’t been around Neopia much, but this little guy loves to stir up trouble! He owns the famous hidden tower item – Hubrid’s Cube. |
Count Von Roo | |
He owns Deadly Dice, a game run at 12am-1am NST. He is a vampire who has been around for many centuries. |
Tax Beast | |
He likes to tax you. He will take 10% off whatever is in your hand (if you have 100k, he will take off 10k). |
King Snarl | |
He is the king who rules over Meridell and all of it’s people. If you can make him laugh, he will reward you generously. |
