If you're in need of a sweet treat the art team and ryoukishi have you covered! The Chocolate Draik has been released!!! Your favourite Neopet can now be as sweet as chocolate- just make sure you don't get it too warm!

A new egg has recently been spotted by patrons of the Chocolate Factory... Something can be heard moving inside but it looks quite delicious and any famished Neopet might just have to gobble it up! At any rate, if you happen to find one of these eggs and aren't in the top spots of the Gourmet Club perhaps taking it to the Draik's Nest might yield better results than consuming it?

Taelia needs some items in order to complete a spell she is working on... and its FREEZING outside! If you want to venture outside into the snow and find her the items she will reward you most generously! If you happen to bring her the 2-4 items she'll ask you for, not only will she give you a handsome sum of Neopoints, but you might just get lucky enough and find yourself a Strange Fragment as a byproduct of her spell...

You can venture up to Terror Mountain where you'll find Taelia's Igloo if you wish to embark on one of her quests! You'll have between 1-2 hours to find the items she asks for. While Taelia appreciates help from all Neopians, you'll only be able to complete up to 10 quests for her per day! And remember, no doing quests on more than one account!

Looking to curate the cutest and best collection in all of Neopia? Look no further than Usukiland!!! Everything and anything for Usuki Dolls can be found here! There are over 250 new items to collect so you best get spending!

A new poll has just gone live, the first Neopets Classic Quality of Life Poll is now open for voting! This poll offers several QoL improvements to different areas of the game along with two new content additions should they pass. This poll will close February 2nd so ensure you cast your vote sooner rather than later!

Look, in the sky! It's a cloud! Wait a moment, that's not the sky! It's the new Cloud Lutari by rorjor and Tomasina!!! This partly cloudy new colour is available for your favourite Lutari now, so long as you can get your hands on a Cloud Paint Brush, that is!

If you've gotten yourself a Golden Ticket you'll want to hop on down to the Chocolate Factory once you hear this news - corprus and ryoukishi have yet another treat to deliver in the form of Chocolate Cybunny!!! This spectacularly sweet new look is available exclusively from the The Secret Laboratory, if you've found the way, along with the Chocolate Factory if you've got a Golden Ticket in hand.

If you happen to snag a Krawk from Tyrannian Petpets you can attach it to your active Neopet and bring it over to the Fungus Cave. Venture into its dank depths and feed your Petpet a spot of fungus from the cave wall and something magical might just happen to your Petpet! (So long as your Petpet's name isn't already taken by any other Neopet and follows the normal naming convention, that is.)

Krawks born inside of the cave will also receive this special icon on their lookup so long as they remain a Krawk! Special thanks to sidefury for designing this (and also the hatched Draik!) icon!!!

Get ready to wipe some tears from your eyes because we're welcoming the beautiful yet ever-so stinky Onion Chia!!! If you want to add this smelly little friend to your pets then you had better be hoping to restock the new Magical Onion Chia Pop from the Super Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop! If you've completed the Secret Laboratory Map and the Lab Ray works just well enough in your favor you might just be able to get your hands on one as well...

chanty has created a new colour for the Aisha that looks so delicious you'll just want to take a bite! The Chocolate Aisha is now available! If you manage to get your hands on a Golden Ticket you can get one from the Chocolate Factory. Otherwise you'll have to zap it through the Secret Laboratory or get lucky and hope the Fountain Faerie sends you on a quest!

If you need a snuggly friend to keep you warm during these winter months then ryoukishi has a wonderful solution! The Plushie Ruki is now here and you can turn your very own Ruki into this cuddly companion if you manage to get your hands on a Plushie Paint Brush!

Getting a full stamp collection is extremely hard, but also a lot of fun, and the freshly opened Neopian Post Office is the place to do it! You'll now be able to find stamps both in the Post Office Kiosk as well as from various activities across the site.

When you find a stamp, go to your items, click on it and you will get the option 'Put in Stamp Album'. Each stamp can be put in your album only once, and bear in mind... once the stamp is in there is no way to get it out... so if you have a rare one and you want to trade, the best place for it is in your safety deposit box! Adding a stamp to your album will also automatically place onto the Hi-Scores Table with your current album total. We will continue adding stamps along with new ways to obtain them in the forthcoming weeks!

Annoyed by a fellow Neopian? Don't want somebody seeing your trades? No worries! You're now able to block other users!!! Blocked users will not be able to see or offer on your trades and auctions or send you Neomail. They're also unable to send you gifts and any place you'd normally see their username across the pages of the website will be replaced with "A Blocked User" to really keep them out of mind!

In other news...

• It's now possible to get Strange Fragments from the Esophagor when you complete a quest.
• We've had a number of users frozen for farming random events or completing dailies on side accounts and sending items to their mains. Please be aware that this is against our game rules and you WILL be permanently frozen if you are caught doing so.

Hark! The herald Kikos sing! Tomasina has created loads of new items that can now be found in the brand new Angel Gift Bag!!! An Angel Kiko has been seen distributing these bags across Neopia! Wait just a minute! Angel Kiko???

That's right! As voted on in the most recent poll Angel is a newly released colour! Currently only Tomasina's Angel Kiko is available but we will be adding more pets to this new colour over time! To turn your Kiko into an Angel you'll need to get your hands on an Angel Kiko Charm which can be found inside of the gift bags! Using it on your Kiko will transform your pet into your very own angel! This item will have no effect on non-Kiko Neopets but will look great in any gallery!

If you're still in need of a bit of Christmas cheer then look no further, for our art team have collaborated with Elfy to bring you the perfect gift! The Christmas Xweetok has been released! You can head over to the Rainbow Pool if you're got a Christmas Paint Brush and give your very own Xweetok a festive new makeover!
