Timeless Tyrannia

On March 20, 2001, a gigantic earthquake struck Neopia and caused a huge chasm to form in the Ice Caves...leading to the prehistoric-themed new world of Tyrannia. This time, there were no special items needed to access all the areas. Neopets had a different plot in mind for this world: invasion. Tyrannia was invaded shortly after its discovery (April 26, 2001). Brave Neopians rushed into battle in the Tyrannian Arena to fight the thousands of prehistoric Korbat invaders who started to pillage and loot Tyrannia's village, Tyrammet. We fought off the Korbats, then faced the Chia Bombers, Fire Grarrls and harder invaders until the final showdown: Monoceraptor. This boss was only defeated when everyone began fighting him.

You can drop by the National Neopolitan Museum and read the Archive for a complete plot description if you are interested. Just be sure to use your back button to rejoin the tour.

Tyrannia is made up of two areas: jungle in the south and plateau in the north. We'll begin in the jungle, so I hope everyone is wearing something cool.

Tyrammet is a small village that nestles in the Tyrannian Jungle. It is a collection of 130 small grass and straw huts, held together with mud and dung found on the jungle floor. With a language all their own, it's often difficult to strike up a conversation, but you will often find them building tools, hunting, etc. Even though more than a year has passed since the Monoceraptor's defeat, much of Tyrammet is still celebrating. Ever watchful of new threats, some still meet at the Town Hall from time to time.

At this point, there really isn't much to see or do...just watch your step as we move on...

This is a coloring area similar to the ones we saw in Faeriland and the Spooky Woods. Click on a smaller image to go to the larger, printable page. Once you have printed it out, you will be able to color it to your satisfaction. Note: There are two pages of cave paintings. If you are looking for the Cave Chia, refresh the second page until he appears.

Having once been a sickly Tyrannian himself (and would have been lost to us had it not been for the work of Dr. Chombasha, whose discovery of a cure to the Tyrannian strain of NeoPox helped save Pacha's life), Pacha the Elephante takes great pride in caring for the Petpets which are sold in his shop. As a top-notch veterinarian, Pacha's miraculous talent has enabled him to take a number of less fortunate Petpets and nurse them back to health. Once Pacha's Petpets have fully recovered, he then allows them to join a household where they will be loved and appreciated, just as they were during their stay in his shop. And who can resist such cute little dinos? Don't forget that Krawks can also be made into full pets rather than just petpets.

Tyranu Evavu gets its name from the ancient Neopian words for "higher" and "lower." The premise is deceptively simple; the dealer presents you with two cards. One card is showing, the other is face-down. At that point, you either say "tyranu," which means that you think the face-down card has a higher value than the card which is showing, or you state "evavu," which informs the dealer that you think the face-down card has a lower value than the one showing. Each time that one makes a correct guess, the pot increases in value. Be warned though...the concept of of the game sometimes confuses your prehistoric hosts and that will cost you the game.

In the center of the jungle sits a commonplace wheel made of the most ordinary materials. Residents say it even looks boring. Officially the most mediocre game in Tyrannia, and all of Neopia for that matter, The Wheel of Mediocrity has pets all over the land yawning and looking for something else to do. Even the keeper of the wheel has a hard time containing himself. All the excitement is written all over his face. Wow, what a great time he's having. Of course, once in a great while, you may win a petpet that is worth quite a bit of neopoints...just how bored are you?

Step right up and buy this...erm...unusual additions to your neohome. As this shopkeeper happily demonstrates, it's quite a bit more comfortable than it looks. One piece of advice, though, I'd stay away from the dung varieties, if I were you...

Welcome to Grarrl Keno. Choose from two to ten eggs on the board. The Grarrl will roar, and ten eggs will hatch into baby Grarrls. If any of the numbers you chose match the eggs that hatch, you could be in for a big prize. The more that match, the better the prize.

The maximum amount you can bet on one game is 50 plus 2 for every day you have been playing Neopets. So if you've been playing for 100 days, you can bet 50 plus 2 for each day or 50 + 2 (100) or 250 neopoints.

Trrgdorr inherited the Tyrranian Foods Shop from his father Ugghdorr under some rather mysterious circumstances. Known throughout Tyrrania for his great skill as a hunter, Ugghdorr was always able to keep his shop well-stocked, and was loved by all for his willingless to give customers really good deals. However, as Ugghdorr got older, the time came to pass on the family business. And so, he was forced to decide which of his two sons, Trrgdorr and Brrgdarr, would succeed him. Not to dig up old rumors, we'll simply point out that Trrgdorr is now in charge of the shop.

You don't have to speak the language to know that some of these items will make great treats for your pet. When in doubt, just point and grunt. You and the shopkeeper will eventually work things out.

Not all the Chia Bombers were taken care of during the Tyrannian War. Chia Bombers have invaded Geoffrey Chia's neighbourhood and are attacking him and his friends with their nasty mud-slinging bazookas. Geoffrey has set out with his home made water-balloon gun in an effort to drive them out of town.

Glubgar the Tyrannian Scorchio has ventured a bit too deeply into a rather large Volcano... the lava is so hot there that even Scorchios cannot survive! See how far through the volcanic tunnels you can guide Glubgar!

Use the left mouse button to fly upwards, and release the button to go downwards. If you press the Space Bar Glubgar will use his wings to brake. Avoid the fiery bombs that fly towards you, and try not to crash into the walls of the tunnel or the rocks.

Collect the crystals for extra points, and the force shield will allow you to crash into a rock without dying. If you hit the cloud it will slow you down for a few seconds. Good Luck!

Mini Golf takes on a whole new meaning in the hazardous, prehistoric land of Tyrannia. Choose from three different characters, and three different types of golf ball, and try and complete all 9 holes in the least number of putts.

To play, first choose a character. Some hit the balls farther than others, so experiment and find out which one suits you best. Next, choose a ball, each ball has a different weight. Use your mouse to control the angle and power for your shot (the bigger the oval the farther the ball will travel).

Remember to avoid the lava and sand pits, they will slow your ball down. Try and finish each hole in par or less to earn more points!

20% Jarbjarb, 12% Uggsul, 8% Uggaroo, 4% Other)
Area : 850 sq. km
Weather : Dry heat

The Tyrannian Plateau is safely nestled high in the mountains, separating the lush, thick Tyrannian Jungle from the scorching volcano off in the distance. The elevation hardly cools the sizzling summers down, and there isn't much of a breeze, making this area the second hottest in all of Neopia. The Plateau is not very populated, but there still is plenty to do, especially when a band like Sticks N Stones are in town. Thousands of screaming Tyrannians fill the Plateau, waiting to see their favourite musical act...but you better have a ticket.

If your favourite band is playing a gig in Tyrannia, then the place to see them is at the Tyrannian Concert Hall. The hall is reportedly capable of seating upwards of ten thousand spectators, a number which doesn't even include the numerous Tyrannians who climb onto the hall's roof or those who watch from nearby trees. In all actuality, it has been estimated that a major act such as Sticks N' Stones or M*YNCI is capable of drawing as many as forty thousand spectators. You'll have to get a ticket from the ticket booth first, but you will get a little souvenir at the concert.

Don't even think about sneaking in. Since the Concert Hall's hiring of Mynci and Sons Event Security, Inc. the Tyrannian Concert Hall's top-notch security team (led by Grafney the Mynci) has recently made great strides in discouraging the practice of sneaking in or, in some cases, attempting to get in with counterfeit tickets.

If you want to watch a band perform at the Concert Hall, then you're going to have to visit Skalpo the Techo. Skalpo is in charge of booking the bands that appear at the Concert Hall, as well selling the tickets for the show. Given that the Concert Hall has a monopoly on shows in Tyrannia, combined with the fact that there is great demand for the precious few tickets that go on sale, Skalpo is pretty much able to charge whatever he wants. Despite the sometimes outrageous ticket prices which Skalpo charges, the fact is that most shows at the Concert Hall usually sell out in less than an hour. Tickets for the day start selling at midnight NST (Neopian Standard Time), so if you snooze...you lose...

If you are short on neopoints, or your favorite band is not performing tonight, why not drop by our Bands page to see their videos. Keep in mind that since these are free, you will not get the souvenir that you would at the Concert Hall.

The rules are simple...it's the neopets version of Checkers or Draughts. This is a multiplayer (two person) game, so you can play with one of your neofriends or make a new friend. Just remember: if you start a game, stay until the end. There are very few things in Neopia more frustrating than starting a game or battle only to have the other player wander off in the middle of it.

Rumour has it that a strange, evil creature lives up in the Tyrannian mountains. Climbing up to the cave entrance you can see that it is dark, and cold inside. All you can hear within is the slow dripping of water... nothing else... do you wish to enter to investigate? The next move is up to you...

This area is "just for fun"...in much the same way that scary movies are "just for fun". Unlike the visiting Snowager, nothing happens to your pet (good or bad). It's still worth a quick peek, though.

Fly around the canyons of Tyrannia shooting the evil Pterodactyls and watch out for the Grarrls! There are three weapons in total to collect, and each one can be upgraded multiple times. If you score over 2,500 points in one go (and this has to be one of the first three times you have scored per day) you will win a Magical Pteri Plushie. Do NOT play with the plushie unless you want your pet to turn into a Pteri.

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, a dinosaur of GIGANTIC proportions laid a massive egg. That egg split open, and started to bake in the sun. Ever since then, a giant omelette has been cooking on the Tyrannian Plateau. It may seem silly, but it is true.

The inhabitants of Tyrannia flock to the omelette whenever they need a bite to eat, and most of them even bring their own ingredients, such as peppers, sausages and tomatoes.

Whenever the omelette is fully eaten, sure enough, a new egg will appear somewhere on the plateau the next night so that the inhabitants of Tyrannia need never go hungry.

This is one of the great freebies in Neopia. Thanks to areas like this, there is no reason for your pet to ever go hungry. Each omelette is good for three meals. But remember, you can only take one omelette each day. Sabre-X stands guard to make sure nobody takes more than his or her fair share.

Some of the fiercest battles take place in the primitive Tyrannian Arena. Even some of the defenders like Sabre-X have been known to drop by and hone their skills. Fortunately, once the match is over, everyone shakes hands (paws, or whatever) and goes home as friends. Here are a couple of challengers you might get to face if you drop by:

Magnus the Torch		Living in the volcanic northern part of Tyrannia, Magnus has possibly the most powerful and fiery breath of all Scorchios. Watch out for that breath if you ever enter the Battledome with him.
Highland Chia		After being fed on a special diet of porridge and haggis, this hardy Chia has grown to an enourmous size and is ready to strike fear in the heart of any challenger!

Fire Paw is responsible for making and selling special Tyrannian battledome items. You may be wondering how a Kougra can stand the heat of Tryrannia, let alone the heat of a volcano, and the answer is wrapped up in his history. Fire Paw was abandoned in the fiery region of Tyrannia. He was taken in by a group of Scorchios who treated him as one of their own. Now fully grown, Fire Paw has an amazing resistance to heat.

This is truly the hottest place to buy weapons. Each of these items is handcrafted in the local volcano and sold still flaming. It seems that only Fire Paw, the shop keeper, can brave the heat to make these items.

Tyrannians may not be known for their style, but they aren't entirely without it. If you happen to be in possession of an elusive Tyrannian Paint Brush, a quick visit to the Rainbow Pool will have your pet blending in with the native Tyrannians in no time. This colour is all the rage now, you know?

Do you think you have what it takes to go head to head with some of Tyrannia's best card sharks? If so, then try a game of Go! Go! Go!. See if you can beat the best of Tyrannia.


Bacheek Bacheek move stones... Bacheek no understand card game well. Bacheek lose lots.	Myncha Myncha was one of the first to venture to the Volcano, and it was here he first saw a group of prehistoric Scorchio's playing Go! Go! Go!	Tekeli-Li Tekeli-li is a Master of Spells and Potions, watch him very closely as he has been known to use the odd little bit of magic when things aren't going his way.	Plesio Plesio loved the game as soon as Myncha told him about it. After hours of practice, he has now become pretty good.


Sargug Sargug loves to play GoGoGo, but gets very angry when he is beaten. Don't sit too close to him as that big club can punch a hefty whack :)	Uggsul Uggsul wants to be the GoGoGo Champion to show off to Princess Fernypoo and stop the spoilt little Acara boasting about her Cheat games.	Sabre-X When Sabre-X isn't supervising the Giant Omelette or having council meetings he likes to unwind with a game of GoGoGo.	Grarrg The Tyrannian Battle Master is a truly fearsome opponent. He is a mean card player that will try every trick in the book, and he is rarely beaten.

Uggaroo Aiming to keep up his reputation as the best gambler in Tyrannia, he will be hard to beat.	Kyruggi Kyruggi didn't get to be Grand Elder for nothing. Do not under-estimate her, she has played more games of GoGoGo than most Neopets have had hot soups.

Match wits and win prizes once you get used to the complicated rules. If you're not sure how to play, why not take a look at daytonakit's GoGoGo game guide?

There is a lovely patch of land, down by a stream that would just be a perfect place to build your Tyrannian village, but there is a problem. Boulders everywhere! Blue boulders, yellow boulders, red boulders... and they have to be cleared before you start building.

In Destruct-O-Match II you have to group up boulders of the same colour, and then click to remove them. Only groups of 2 or more matching boulders can be removed in this way. The more boulders you clear at once the more points you earn, and to progress to the next level you need to achieve a certain number of points.

Some boulders have symbols on - if you manage to clear one of these boulders then something special will happen. Check the in-game instructions to find out what each icon does!

This is the "sequel" to one of the most popular games on the site, Destruct-O-Match, which is still available in the game graveyard.

*YAWN* I guess you're here to try the wheel, right. Well, go ahead... spin as hard as you can. While you wait for it to stop spinning why not pull up a chair, make yourself a cup of hot borovan and read a book or something.

This wheel can literally take hours before it finally stops, so you may as well get comfy...

The Tyrannian Town Hall is a vast rock where the Council of Elders meet in case of an emergency. It is here where you can listen to the great speeches, as well as learn the essential strategies for defending the great land of Tyrannia. If there is something going on, all you have to do pop your head in the War Tent. If you're lucky you'll be able to sit in on one of their important meetings.

When they are not in a meeting or taking care of other duties, they can often be found playing GoGoGo with some of the locals (and guests, as well).
