What is Avatar?
Avatars are images that appear under your name whenever you post a message on the NeoPets Chat Boards (NeoBoards).They basically represent you. There is one avatar for every species (except the Ruki and Yurble), the six basic Faeries (water, fire, earth, dark, light ,air), and the "Lumpy" Christmas Rock are automatically yours. However frome time to time NeoPets may add additional deafult avatars.
About Avatars
Aside from the provided avatars, there are hundreds of avatars which can be found around the site by doing different things like getting a high score on a game, feeding your NeoPet something special, playing with a toy, and more. Some are more harder to find than others, and some have been retired-no longer available.
