Get a Krawk
Four months after the discovery of Krawk Island, a new species of Neopet was introduced: the Krawk. Unlike most other pets, Krawks cannot be created via Create-A-Pet, not even on April 16th (their annual festival day). There are a few different options available to create a Krawk, each with its own pros and cons. Before jumping in, consider your end-goal and determine which option will help you reach it as time- and cost-effectively as possible.
Krawk Petpets and the Fungus Cave
Tucked away in a northwestern cove of Krawk Island lies the Fungus Cave. To most, this cave appears useless. However, visiting the cave with certain Krawk Petpets attached to your active Neopet will give you the option of turning your beloved Petpet into a Neopet itself.
It's only hidden if you don't know where to look...
When you wish to transform a Krawk Petpet, choose its colour carefully! The colour of the Petpet will determine the colour of the Neopet you end up with. Consider whether it would be cheaper to buy an already-painted Krawk Petpet, the Petpet Paint Brush to paint the Petpet before transformation, or the Neopet Paint Brush to paint your new Krawk after the transformation is complete. The gender of your new Krawk will be random, though it is fairly easy to change a pet's gender.
Not just any Krawk Petpet can be turned into a Krawk Neopet. There are a few requirements you must meet in order to be eligible:
- Your Petpet must be a Krawk in its true form. Petpets zapped at the Petpet Lab Ray cannot be transformed.
- You must give your Petpet a unique name, untaken by any Neopet. If you show up with a Petpet with a taken name, the option to feed and transform your Petpet will not appear. If you show up with a Petpet with the default name of "no name", you will be prompted to rename it to a unique name.
- There must be an empty pet slot on your account for the Krawk.
- Currently, the Darigan Krawks, Desert Krawks, Ghost Krawks, Robot Krawks, and Starry Krawks cannot be transformed!
You may currently have up to 26 Neopets on each of your main and side accounts:
- All accounts start with 7 pet slots.
- All accounts may purchase +12 pet slots from the NC Mall.
- Active Premium subscribers receive +7 pet slots as a perk.
- You may have up to 4 side accounts, for a total of 5 accounts. As of July 22, 2025, you may purchase Premium subscriptions for each of your sides, netting +7 slots per side, up to +28 across all 4 sides. (Albeit very expensively.) Side accounts without Premium are otherwise limited to the regular slots (7 base slots and +12 from the NC Mall.)
- The grand total for having 5 accounts, having purchased all NC slots, and all having active Premium subscriptions is 130 slots.
Pet slots limits were last upped on January 28, 2026.
Once all of these requirements are met you will be given the option to transform your Krawk at your next visit to the Fungus Cave, which you can do by clicking "YES!". After transforming, a Krawk cannot be reverted back to its Petpet form.
Fungus Caves Avatar
An avatar is available from visiting the Fungus Caves while a Krawk is your active Neopet. You not need to get the Krawk from the Fungus Caves, or interact with the Fungus Caves at all beyond visiting the page!

Potions and Plushies
Transforming one of your current Neopets into a Krawk is also possible by using a Morphing Potion, Transmogrification Potion, or Magical Plushie. With these items you're able to change a pet of any other colour or species and turn it into the Krawk you're after. As with the coloured Petpets, the colour of the item you use will determine the outcome of your Krawk. Most of the colours are self-explanatory except for the Transmogrification Potion, which will turn your pet into a Mutant Krawk. All of these items are one-use and will disappear from your inventory after working their magic.
Don't worry, this won't hurt a bit...
If you are interested in a specific colour for your Krawk, it is worth checking the price of a potion or plushie first to see if it is cheaper to transform one of your current Neopets, rather than transforming and painting a Krawk Petpet.
Trading and Adoption
As with any other species (well, most other species), trading for or adopting a Krawk is always an option. Since Krawk morphing potions and magical plushies are given out by dailies and the overall cost of creating a Krawk has gone down considerably, it is now more common than ever before to see Krawks up for trade or to find one in the Pound.
Premium Perk - Free Species Change
Starting on August 30, 2024, Premium members can also utilize their once yearly free species change to create a Krawk. Please note this perk works only once every 365 days—not once per calendar year.
Prior to August 30, 2024, Krawk was excluded as an option for this perk.
Dream Neopet Giveaways
The Dream Neopet Giveaway is a site-wide event that allows users to enter for a chance to transform one of their pets into a pet of their choice, free of charge. A very small number of extremely lucky players are selected to have one Neopet changed into their dream pet, of any species and colour, including Krawk. This event is usually held every year in December. It was moved to July in 2014, but has since returned to being held in December.
