The 56th species of Neopet—Varwolf—is now officially live! All Premium subscribers can make use of the Species Change perk to convert one of their existing Neopets into a Varwolf. If you're a Premium member and you used your Species Change perk in the last year, the countdown has been refreshed and it's now available again for you to use immediately. (But be warned, this will count as your use for the next 365 days.)
The Varwolf is available in these basic colours: Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow. (NOTE: You are able to take your Varwolf for a dip in the Magma Pool, but then your pet will turn into a cog as Magma has not been made available for Varwolves yet!)
As a reminder, TNT posted these release details about the Varwolf last week:
- Varwolves are from the Haunted Woods
- Initially available via the Premium Species Change perk, but "Varwolves will be made available site-wide through a mini (non-time-limited!) event and questline in summer 2025"
- If you're a Premium subscriber who already used their species change perk in the past year, it will be refreshed for you so you can immediately choose it to make a Varwolf when they release
- Not available through the Lab Ray
- Cannot be transferred or abandoned in the Pound (they will run away like Lutaris)
- If you cancel Premium, you can keep your Varwolf even before they become widely available
- Varwolves can be customised with all existing backgrounds, foregrounds, trinkets, etc., and TNT says they will "work on making existing wearables compatible with the Varwolf" meaning clothes that must be redrawn to fit a new body shape
As this new species rolls out, we'll be making lots of updates around Jellyneo! If you notice one of our pages is out of date, feel free to scroll to the bottom and let us know so we can make sure it's on our to-do list.
Things to check out:
- See the species animation by tapping Varwolf on the All Pets page
- The Varwolf has been added to the Top Neopets page, currently the Wooden Spoon Award winner (Species Change perk doesn't count as creating a Varwolf)
- Read the What is a Varwolf? page for some light background
- View the default petpage for Varwolves
- Check out all the colours and emotion poses in our Rainbow Pool
Fun Fact: As the species info on the default petpage points out, Varwolves enjoy eating everything, including Gross Food! If you feed your Varwolf a Gross Food, it won't be repulsed like other species.
