Early this morning, a terrible ruckus was heard from the Neopian Fresh Foods. The Chia came running outside, yelling to the amazing Neopians nearby that his food was being gobbled up!

Just inside are a crowd of odd-looking neopets, happily munching on all the food in the store having just burrowed up from an apparently unnoticed tunnel just underneath the shop.

As it so happens, these big scaly Neopets are called the Kohmo, a species that has been, until just now, completely unknown to the rest of Neopia! It was really by sheer coincidence that they happened to smell the irresistible scent of food in Neopia Central that they rather excitedly revealed themselves.

After having eaten their fill, the Kohmo have shown to be surprisingly friendly and social, quickly making amends to the poor Fresh Foods shopkeeper and becoming friends with the locals in the area. With the prospect of lots of delicious food and many new friends to make, it looks like the Kohmo are all coming out of the woodwork now, and they’re exploring all over Neopia.

To celebrate their surprise discovery, shopkeepers are working up a storm to make a variety of items in honor of the Kohmo! Plushies and treats with their likeness are showing to be popular not only among local Neopians, but the Kohmo themselves.


Hmm.. but what's this? That Kohmo showing off their patterns in the middle there... That kind of colouration hasn't been spotted in Neopia before either. It looks so... iridescent. Seems like with the introduction of the Kohmo there's been a new colour discovery! I guess this sparkly and fluorescent colour helped them navigate the dark burrows.. and now it can be applied to multiple other pets and petpets alike!

Jhuidah has opened up her cooking pot for public use to let people attempt for magical rewards - which can include new foods, an avatar, and some other miscellaneous gifts -- as we have added a few of our own custom recipes to the "mix", with more probably to come! You will be able to access the Cooking Pot through the Misc tab in Pet Central, or click the image above in the news post or title to get there instantly!



If you want spoilers on some of the custom recipes that we've added - join our discord and chat with other users - or wait until Sketched Neo releases a news post with them in.

With a last side note I'd like to apologize for the lack of recent updates and content, due to a lot of personal things happening in my life my priorities were elsewhere, however now things are clearing up and I should hopefully have much more free time and better mental capacity to work on Moderneopets again, so thank you for your continued patience!

High on the mountains and in the deepest forests of Neopia, a certain neopet species has been keeping to itself for a long time…

These round, fluffy Neopets are known as Yumacks, and they're a cheerful, industrious sort. Most of their time is spent gathering food in the wilderness, and they all meet up in the fall to throw a great big party and judge who got the roundest before hibernating through the winter.

It turns out the Yumacks have had a bit of a population explosion this year, so they're travelling much further away from their homes in the mountains to find enough food to make it through the traditional hibernation. They're pretty fascinated by the fact that most Neopians don't sleep away the whole winter! Maybe you can befriend one and lend a paw.

With the arrival of the Yumack, shopkeepers all over Neopia are working hard to produce a variety of Yumack-related items! Kauvara's been busy brewing up potions, while other shopkeepers have been preparing plushies, toys, and delicious foods.



A big thank you to Blake for single-handedly recreating the Yumack in all poses with 34 colours and 90+ items, Hoorah!

As the weather warms up the nights get brighter... It's a lovely time of year to watch the sunset, and perhaps bring a friend or two!

NINE new Eventide Neopets have joined us, courtesy of Ren, Skye, velvetwormheptagon and Blake! If you have an Eventide Paint Brush, you can take one home with you today.

To also celebrate this massive batch of Eventides - the colour text that shows up on the lookups has been upgraded, as you can see in this news post, fancy!

Vandagyre have been feeling pretty self conscious with all the lovely colours the other pets come in, and have decided to try some new looks!

Faerie, Halloween, and a Moderneo reimagining of Mutant are now available for your pet Vandagyre! You do have a pet Vandagyre, right?

These new colours brought to you by Deebs! Enjoy!

A new discovery comes to Neopia from the rivers of Shenkuu! The Soreen of the rivers are much larger and brighter than their oceanic Petpet cousins. However, these Neopets have only been known in myth thanks to their rarity…

It was quite a shock when one day, several of these supposedly mythical Neopets flew into Neopia Central and started chattering with anyone who would respond to them!

As it turns out, while Soreen are mostly aquatic, these graceful fish gain the ability to fly if they can overcome the challenge of leaping over a waterfall, allowing them to come join the fun. And recently, a large school of Soreen has taken up residence underneath a very small waterfall, so that they can all make the leap! Now Soreen are turning up all over Neopia to check out what they’ve been missing out on this whole time!


If you would like to show one of these curious flying fish around the world and help them make new friends, there are plenty for everyone to adopt at the Waterfall Sanctuary.

And of course, to celebrate the new arrivals, Kauvara, the resident plushie makers, and even some chefs have made sure there are plenty of items both magical and mundane to celebrate their arrival!



This release adds 11 items, 28 new colors, including 3 alt variations, and 3 new forum avatars–can you find the two secret avatars?

Sora hopes you all enjoy this resurrected old Neopet design, given the justice it deserved.
Thank you Sora for your hard work and for sharing your talent with us. <3

Love and Joy are abound - this is a month of celebration for all our lovely users. No one is more important than another and things like Gender, Sexuality and how you Identify don't matter to us - you are you and that alone is worth celebrating. Be proud of who you are and show your pride with these lovely gifts!


Admin can be seen donating 30 to 60 of these capsules each hour to the money tree for the rest of this month.
In it you will find 2 random NC Items and a chance at three bonus prize pools!

Whilst exploring the enchanted grove and its surroundings, explorers have sighted rare glances at new Lulamu! Since their time openly exploring Neopia it seems new mutations have spurred and therefore you can find SIX new types of Lulamu!


There are FOUR new alternate rainbows available for you to acquire using the help of the Genetics Laboratory - Prismatic now supports the Kougra, Hissi, Techo and Kyrii!

Good morning, Neopia! Bust out the synthesizers and put on your favorite neon leggings, because we have some tubular news to share today!

Following a recent flurry of reports about some unusual-looking (and radically fashionable!) pets roaming Virtupets Station, we launched an investigation to find out where these strange new guests were coming from. While our team hasn't learned much beyond some whispers of "glitches" and "the digital world", we can now confirm that these pets are here to stay - and they're bringing their flashy styles with them! Everyone, say hello to Moderneo's very first original pet color: Retrowave!



Retrowave pets are the perfect companions for vintage enthusiasts, dance club partygoers, and glam rock headbangers alike! But for those of you who like brighter styles and slower living, have no fear; many of these new pets have alternate looks in the form of Pastel Retrowave, an alternate color available through the Genetic Modification Laboratory on Virtupets Station! And, of course, with Retrowave pets comes a slew of new items perfect for making your gallery feel like it was ripped fresh out of a rented VHS (don't forget to rewind that before you return it)!


This update brings more than just our first custom colour - it brings in a massive boatload of items to go with it! There's so much to explore that we cant even begin to show you all the goodies that have been added to the site, the best way you can check it yourself is using the site search and going to the last pages of the items and scrolling through them, all I can say is that you're in for a treat!



This includes a petpet paint brush and the ability to paint petpets in the same colour, so this is not only a release of our first ever custom colour but also our first ever custom petpet colour!

The retrowave petpets come in an alternate colour just like the pet counterparts which can only be obtained through the lab ray, so get zapping (or wishing)!


To further celebrate the release of our first custom colour we're also having our first custom themes, technically! These match the virtual and dreamlike pets that we now offer, and can be obtained either by painting a pet retrowave, or dipping it into the fountain to achieve the same result! A very large thank you to Deebs for making these amazing themes for us!
