The Ixi is one of Neopia’s most charming creatures, beloved for its playful energy and graceful form. First introduced on July 11, 2002, the Ixi was originally a limited edition pet but soon became available year round, much to the delight of Neopians. Native to the fertile fields of Meridell, this goat or deer like Neopet is known for its small horns, fluffy fur, and spirited curiosity.
In this article, AntGames brings you a complete guide to the Ixi. We will explore their traits, personalities, available colors and styles, items, and some of the most famous Ixis in Neopia. Whether you are new to Neopets or a longtime fan, this guide will help you understand why Ixi remains such an iconic part of Neopia’s world. Let’s dive deeper into what makes these four legged pets special.
Traits of the Ixi
Physically, the Ixi is a medium sized Neopet, standing about 61 cm tall. Its defining features include a pair of small pointed horns, slender legs with shiny hooves, and almond shaped eyes framed by a soft mane of fur. A tufted tail and the unique Ixi collar, a ribbon with a gem at its center, complete its signature look.
Ixi hail from Meridell, a land of rolling green fields and fertile farmland. They thrive in this natural environment, bounding across grassy hillsides with ease. Their personalities match their surroundings, curious, playful, and often mischievous. While they bring joy with their antics, unprepared Neopians may find them a handful.

Originally released as limited edition Neopets, Ixi quickly gained popularity. Within weeks of their debut, their status shifted, allowing players to adopt them year round. Since then, their design has remained consistent with only slight updates to poses over time. Today, they remain a timeless favorite among pet collectors.
