Varwolf – New Neopet in 2025!

A shadow scurries through the Haunted Woods. Did you see that? It wasn’t your imagination—Neopia’s 56th species, the Varwolf, has finally been revealed! These reclusive creatures have long lurked in the depths of the Haunted Woods, but now, they’re stepping into the light and looking for new homes among Neopians.

Varwolf will be A Premium Exclusive—For Now

To start, the Varwolf will be exclusively available to Premium subscribers via the Species Change perk. If you’re already a Premium member but have used your one-time Species Change perk in the past year, you’re in luck—TNT has confirmed that this perk will be refreshed, allowing you to transform an existing Neopet into a Varwolf immediately.

However, for those who don’t have Premium, patience will be key. The Varwolf will become available site-wide through a special event and questline in the summer of 2025. Unlike typical events, this won’t be time-limited, ensuring that all Neopians will eventually have a chance to welcome a Varwolf into their family.

What We Know About Varwolves

Here are some key details from the recently released FAQ:

  • Home: The Varwolf originates from the Haunted Woods, adding to the eerie and mysterious atmosphere of the region.
  • Lab Ray Restrictions: Varwolves cannot be created through the Lab Ray, meaning the only way to obtain one is via the Species Change perk or through the upcoming site-wide event.
  • No Pound Transfers: Much like Lutaris, Varwolves cannot be abandoned or transferred through the Pound. If you try, they will simply run away!
  • Premium Cancellation Rules: If you create a Varwolf while subscribed to Premium, you won’t lose it even if you later cancel your subscription.
  • Customization Compatibility: Varwolves can wear all existing backgrounds, trinkets, and accessories. TNT has also stated they are working to ensure existing Neopet wearables are adapted to fit the Varwolf’s unique body shape.

A Glimpse Into the Future: Will There Be a 57th Species?

TNT has left the door open for even more new Neopet species in the future. While they haven’t made any promises, the success of the Varwolf’s release might encourage further additions to Neopia’s roster of species. Could we see another Haunted Woods pet? Or maybe a new aquatic species? Only time will tell.

Will You Be Adopting a Varwolf?

Now that the Varwolf has been officially revealed, are you planning to adopt one? Or are you lamenting the ever-growing need for extra pet slots? (We hear you!) Whether you’re a Premium subscriber looking to snag a Varwolf right away or planning to wait for the summer event, this is an exciting time for Neopia’s pet enthusiasts.

Stay tuned for more updates as TNT releases further details about the upcoming event. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled in the Haunted Woods—you never know when a Varwolf might be watching!
