Battledome
Premium Members have one extra arena to choose from: the Cosmic Dome, home to several unique 1-Player challengers, who can drop some particularly valuable prizes. Additionally they have permanent access to the Space Faerie, who can be battled in the Neocola Centre. They can also receive an additional 5 prizes from the Battledome daily for free.
Prizes
The main benefit of the Cosmic Dome is access to a variety of desirable prizes, notably Nerkmids, Neocola Tokens, and Bubbling Fungus.

Defeating the Space Faerie will award Neopians an avatar.
As of September 3, 2025, Premium Members can receive an additional 5 prizes from battling daily. The battle rewards screen shows a counter with the amount of prizes earned for the day out of the increased limit.
General Prizes
Nerkmids and Neocola Tokens are general prizes, meaning any permanent or rotational challenger has a chance to drop them. These tend to be quick-selling items with fairly stable resale values, meaning they can be an easy, quick way to make Neopoints. Nerkmids can also be used at the Alien Aisha Vending Machine if you prefer to gamble for the chance of upgrading to an even more valuable prize, such as a Paint Brush. The same is true for Neocola Tokens and the Neocola Machine, where you can gamble for a Transmogrification Potion.
Bubbling Fungus
Bubbling Fungus is dropped only by the Giant Space Fungus on difficulty level hard. This item is desirable not just for its resell price, but because it has the chance to alter your active pet's strength.
Challengers
The Giant Space Fungus and Jetsam Ace are permanent challengers within the Cosmic Dome. Additionally, while not announced until May 5, 2025, the Space Faerie was made available to Premium Members to battle without needing to redeem a Merchandise Rare Item Code starting a day earlier. And although she is out of this world, Mira is fought in the Neocola Centre rather than the Cosmic Dome.
Rotational Challengers
On February 24, 2025, TNT began cycling previously retired challengers into the Cosmic Dome, indicating they would rotate every 3 months. 4 challengers were added at the start, each with exclusive loot drops on top of the standard Cosmic Dome prizes.
