Ever wonder how to get that ever-cute Cybunny, or the Poogle? Well you cannot get them as easily as the basic pets, since they are restricted or limited edition pets. We'll explain that here!

What is limited edition?

Limited edition is defined by Neopets as a "limited amount in Neopia." It's like an endangered species, only a few of them are available.

What is restricted?

Restricted means that you cannot get the pet by the simple 'Create A Pet!' page. There is another secret way to get the Neopet.

Now we'll answer that elusive question: how can I get a limited edition pet? Well, generally on that certain species' pet day (such as Poogle or Cybunny Day) Neopets releases more of their species. Sometimes Neopets will release 50,000 more of their kind, or 1,000! You have to be quick.

Now, pet holidays only come once a year, so if you were trying to get a Cybunny or Poogle, it'd be a long wait (depending on the time of year)! You can also get limited edition and restricted pets by using morphing potions and/or transmogrification potions. What is the difference between morphing potions and transmogrification potions? Well, when you use a morphing potion, there is a predefined color that the pet will be (if the pet uses it). Meaning, if you purchased a Red Draik Morphing Potion, when the pet would use that, it'd turn into a red Draik. If you used a Blue Draik Morphing Potion, it'd turn into a blue Draik. Now, transmogrification potions work a bit differently. There is no predefined color when you buy it. It's just a transmogrification potion. It can be a 'Draik Transmogrification Potion' or 'Cybunny Transmogification Potion.' You will notice that there is no 'color' in the name, such as blue, green, red, or yellow. That is because when you use a transmogrification potion, it turns your pet to whatever species the potion is, but it turns into a MUTANT color. Now you're probably thinking "eww I don't want a mutant pet," but transmogification potions are a LOT cheaper.

There's also another way to get them; if you're really lucky, and your pet reaches a high enough fishing level (level 80+), you may be able to pick up a 'Mysterious Swirly Potion' which will turn your pet into either a Kiko, Koi, Cybunny, Tonu, Poogle, Hissi or Jetsam. Note though, that if the pet you apply the potion to is, say, a Maraquan Chomby, they will turn into either a Red, Blue, Yellow or Green limited pet - the color won't carry through, and you'll only get a basic-colored pet.

Regardless if you use a transmogrification potion or morphing potions, they are expensive. Some of these potions exceed over 1 million Neopoints!

Now you're probably wondering, how do I get restricted pets (Grundo and Krawk). The way the Grundo is created is rather pathetic. You cannot create one at the 'Create A Pet!' page, but you can just create one at the Space Adoption Agency . Nothing too special.

To get a Draik, you can use a transmogrification potion or morphing potion. You can also buy a 'Draik Egg' and hatch it at the Draik's Nest .

Getting the Krawk is a bit more complex. Unlike the Grundo, you cannot go to another page and create one. To get a Krawk:

• Buy the ITEM called Krawk - it's a petpet, and sold as an item.
• BE SURE TO HAVE 3 OR LESS NEOPETS... if you're going to create another Krawk neopet, you have to have a space open.
• Attatch the Krawk petpet (item) to whatever Neopet via your Inventory dialog.
• Name the Krawk petpet whatever you want the Krawk neopet name to be. For example, if you named your petpet Krawk Bill39487, then that would be the name of the Neopet; you'll need a good name for it, 'Hermione' won't suffice.
• Then go to Fungus Cave and feed Magical Fungus to your Krawk.
• It should transform into a Neopet.

The elusive Lutari can only as yet be created through the Neopets Mobile service (US citizens only). There, you may download the Neopets Mobile game - Lutari Island - and create a Lutari Neopet; or, wait until some are periodically released!

I hope you now have a greater understanding of limited and restricted pets!
