Give the Neopian globe a whirl and you’ll notice about half the planet is covered in water. Considering the vastness of Neopia’s rivers, seas, and lakes, it should come as no surprise that the aquatic life of Neopia is just as varied as the terrestrial life above! The salt waters of Neopia are commonly broken down into the following seas: The Terror Sea, The Tyrannian Sea, The Central Sea, The Maraquan Sea, The Geraptiku Sea, The Lost Sea, The Shenkuu Sea, the Altador Sea and The Moltaran Sea. Some academics also consider the vast ice cap at Neopia’s southern pole to be a seventh sea, but this is a contested designation and given the lack of Petpet life observed there, will not be considered in this guide. There are some areas of the Neopian Ocean which do not fall within the confines of any of these Seas, but make no mistake, Petpet life abounds there as well.

The world of Neopia is a planet with two frozen poles (the north pole being where Terror Mountain is; the south pole mostly untouched by Neopian society), a giant continent with various climates (where most of the Neopian lands are), and one vast ocean covering the rest of the surface with water and scattered islands. FUN FACT: Neopia’s global ocean has 5 seas: * The Northern Sea (surrounding the north pole continent which includes Terror Mountain & Tyrannia; Sometimes called the “Northern Ocean”) * The Southern Sea (surrounding most of the south pole & Lost Desert’s west side; Sometimes called the Southern Ocean”) * The Legendary Sea (the waters between Altador, Lutari Island, Moltara, & the islands around them) * The Sea of Mysteries (the waters spanning the main continent’s east side, Krawk Island, & Mystery Island)

SCI 1024: Incomprehensible Oceanography of Neopia Syllabus Welcome back to another course taught by yours truly! The smoke has settled since last time I emerged upon the scholarly grounds, this time with a new assistant at my side! (She’s still new, so be nice! OR ELSE!) Either I am truly beloved by Brightvale University or budget constraints have made them desperate for adjuncts. Regardless, I prevail! *AHEM* All of you benefit from my sage wisdom and knowledge of SCIENCE! Just call me Doc, everyone does. In prior classes, I explored the depths of Neopian lore. What better way of continuing those depths than by going to literal depths! Seeing as you willingly signed up for this course, you of course know that I speak of Neopia’s mighty waters. Far more than a bathtub, the countless depths are sure to hold some truly alien secrets that Neopiankind was not meant to know! But thanks to me, you too shall know! Some may go mad, some may perish… from excitement! All in all, you have made these risks aware of yourself upon entering a class instructed by me.
