To commemorate Mutant Day, the NC Mall has unveiled two fresh themed gift grams – the Daunting Doll Mutant Gram & Sleepless Spyder Mutant Gram. These grams are also offered in bundles, providing not only discounts but also extra grams.
Moreover, there’s an extra bundle option which includes 5 of each gram type, all at an impressive 20% markdown.
It’s important to take note that while the gram descriptions specify that the items can only be worn by pets painted in Mutant colors, the backgrounds are versatile and can be worn by pets of any kind. All other items within the grams, however, are exclusively wearable by Mutant pets.

UPDATE, OCTOBER 19 2023
Today an epilogue from the recent event has gone up on the Faerie Festival page serving as a teaser for the upcoming void within plot. It features Vira and Drakara! Looks like a new paint brush might be in the works as well?! Maybe a Void Paint Brush!
In the enchanting world of Neopia, a dark and mysterious force threatens to unravel the very fabric of reality. Vira, the once-villainous Acara now redeemed by the power of the Fountain Faerie, and Drakena, a fierce and enigmatic Draik, find themselves unexpectedly drawn into a quest that will test their courage and teamwork.
Chapter 1: The Ominous Prophecy Vira and Drakara each receive cryptic visions that lead them to a dusty tome hidden deep within the Haunted Woods. The ancient book reveals a prophecy foretelling the awakening of a dark entity called “The Void Within” that threatens to devour the entire Neopian realm.
Chapter 2: Unlikely Allies Vira and Drakara, who come from different backgrounds and have had their own share of struggles, reluctantly join forces to prevent the prophecy from coming true. Together, they embark on a journey to collect powerful relics scattered across Neopia that may hold the key to sealing The Void Within.
Chapter 3: The Quest Begins Their first destination is the Lost Desert, where they must recover the Sunstone Amulet, a relic said to contain the power of a thousand suns. Along the way, they face treacherous sandstorms and confront the sly Sakhmetian thieves who guard the amulet.
Chapter 4: The Enchanted Forest Next, Vira and Drakara venture deep into the heart of the Enchanted Woods to find the Whispering Oak, a sentient tree that can offer guidance on the next relic’s location. Here, they encounter mischievous faeries and tricky puzzles.
Chapter 5: The Underwater Abyss Their quest takes them beneath the waves to Maraqua, where they must recover the Coral Heartstone. The underwater world presents its own set of challenges, from navigating the treacherous currents to facing off against the fearsome sea creatures guarding the relic.
Chapter 6: The Darkest Depths Vira and Drakara descend into the foreboding caves of Tyrannia in search of the Magma Crystal, a relic with the power to scorch anything in its path. Along the way, they uncover secrets about Neopia’s history and meet a mysterious Grarrl who may hold the key to their success.
Chapter 7: The Final Confrontation Armed with the four relics, Vira and Drakara return to the tome that started their journey. They learn that to seal The Void Within, they must confront the darkness within themselves and merge the relics’ powers with their own. As they do, The Void Within awakens, and an epic battle ensues.
Chapter 8: The Power of Redemption In a climactic battle, Vira and Drakara confront their own inner demons and use the combined power of the relics to seal The Void Within once and for all. They emerge victorious, but at a cost—Vira must make a difficult choice to save Neopia.
Chapter 9: A New Beginning With The Void Within sealed, the world of Neopia is safe once again. Vira and Drakena part ways, having forged an unlikely friendship in their journey. They return to their respective homes, forever changed by the adventure and the understanding that even the most different of Neopets can work together to protect their world.
“Neopets: The Void Within” is a tale of redemption, friendship, and the enduring power of unity in the face of darkness.
Neopets is making a triumphant return in 2023, captivating fans worldwide as it gears up to celebrate its 25th anniversary with a revitalized virtual pet world. Partnering with Upper Deck, Neopets is introducing an exciting new trading card game (TCG) called “Neopets Battledome,” set to be released next year.
Details about the TCG are still sparse, but a brief announcement video on Upper Deck’s YouTube channel and a press release from the publisher have offered some insights. “Neopets Battledome” is touted as a fast-paced, two-player game, featuring its unique dice combat system, though exact mechanics remain under wraps.
In the upcoming TCG, Neopet cards showcase three distinct stats – attack, defense, and agility – influenced by the Neopet’s color. Color is a dynamic trait, altered by paintbrush cards that modify a Neopet’s hue, granting it bonuses from other cards. The game showcases a range of colors for the same Neopet, evident in promotional cards featuring Shoyrus in classic red and a modified rainbow, each with slightly varied statistics.
The initial release boasts 20 diverse Neopets across hundreds of cards, brought to life through over 250 stunning pieces of new art by renowned artists like Anthony Conley, Krista Staggs, and Shamine Athena King.
Besides Neopet cards, the game features Codestones, influencing different stats, and faerie cards that act as battlefield-wide buffs for pets of specific colors. These cards can also aid players in retrieving paintbrushes and other essential cards from their deck.
For those unfamiliar with Neopets, it was a captivating online phenomenon where users could purchase, trade, and care for virtual pets on an Adobe Flash-based web browser platform (RIP, Flash). After being purchased and then sold by Nickelodeon and Viacom to Jumpstart, the game eventually found its way to World of Neopia, Inc., thanks to an independent team of dedicated fans.
Following a failed NFT venture, the team shifted focus to community-driven initiatives and new games to rekindle interest in this cherished nostalgia from the era of Club Penguin, MySpace, and music torrenting.
Alongside the trading card game, a mobile game titled “World of Neopets” is set to welcome both new and old players into the Neopets universe, aiming to recapture the magic of the beloved virtual pet experience.
Interestingly, this isn’t Neopets’ first foray into physical TCGs; the “Neopets Trading Card Game,” published by Wizards of the Coast, was launched in 2003, catering to a younger audience. Although it saw pets competing in stat-based contests, it was discontinued in 2006.
Fans and enthusiasts eagerly await the unveiling of “Neopets Battledome,” which will be showcased at Comic Con and Gen Con before its full release in 2024. Stay tuned for more information as Dicebreaker reaches out for updates on this exciting journey back to Neopia!
