Neopia has been gripped by a ghoulish new trend: intentionally making their Chias deathly ill. Why? All for the sake of a brand new dead chia avatar, of course!

How to Obtain the Dead Chia Avatar

This spooky new avatar features a Dead Chia, and the only way to obtain it is to visit the lookup of your own Yellow Chia who is currently at 0 HP and suffering from a disease.

How to (Ethically) Afflict Your Chia:

While there are many ways to bring your Chia to the brink of death (we won’t judge!), remember that feeding your Neopet any disease-ridden food item will heal around 12% of their HP. This means you’ll need to strategically plan your Chia’s demise. Some popular methods include:

• The Wheel of Misfortune: This classic Neopian game of chance has the potential to inflict a nasty illness upon your unsuspecting Chia.
• The Lab Ray: While unpredictable, the Lab Ray can sometimes have adverse effects, including bestowing diseases upon your pet.
• Battledome Mishaps: Facing a particularly strong opponent in the Battledome can leave your Chia worse for wear, potentially resulting in a debilitating disease.

Sharing is Caring (and Efficient!):

The good news is that you don’t need to subject multiple Chias to this morbid fate. The Neopets Team has confirmed that transferring a sick, 0 HP Yellow Chia to another user will allow the recipient to obtain the avatar as well. So spread the (un)healthy love and share your ailing Chias with your Neofriends!

Ethical Considerations:

While this avatar has certainly sparked a morbid fascination across Neopia, it’s important to remember that our Neopets are digital companions. Although inflicting a disease upon them is purely virtual, some users may find the concept unsettling.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue this avatar is a personal one. But if you do choose to participate in this macabre trend, remember to do so responsibly and with a sense of humor. After all, it’s all in good fun… or is it? 👻
