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!
