- New Competition! Can you design a new faerie? He or she can be of any design you wish.
You just need to send us you ideas including a pic and what powers or special abilities they
will have. Send your entries to comp@neopets.com. You don't need to be a brilliant artist as long
as the idea is there. The most imaginitive entry will be chosen as the winner and will be the next
faerie to be discovered on Neopia.

things we have added.

today including Breakfast Cereal, Pancakes and Toasted Cheese Sandwiches.
