The Uni - Perfect Pet for Unicorn Lovers

OK, I admit it: I have a wee bit of a soft spot for unicorns and winged horses. I was obsessed with them as a little girl. Drew hundreds of unicorn pictures, wrote stories about unicorns, even had a few My Little Pony toys.

I outgrew that phase a long time ago. But when I created a new Neopets account, my six-year-old self asserted herself and told me to adopt a pet Uni - a critter that's basically a unicorn and a pegasus rolled into one. But more cuddly.

I Will Not Wear a Uni T-Shirt. Really.

OK, so I might have a unicorn on Neopets, but I will never wear a Uni T-shirt. Um. Well. Probably not.

Then again, considering my Donald Duck T-shirt, it might not be THAT much out of character...

So What's a Uni, Anyway?

Some would say a winged unicorn is an alicorn. In fact, this word refers to the HORN of the unicorn. Some like to call this unicorn/pegasus hybrid a Pegicorn or a Unisus.

Neopets made the whole thing very simple: It's a Uni. There you go.

Unis are much more plump and cuddly-looking compared to your traditional unicorn. They are also quite vain and love to admire their reflections, comb their manes, and sit around looking pretty. So don't try to make them do any manual labor, such as digging. The prissy things HATE to get dirty.

I personally think these little Neopets toys are much cuter than the Littlest Pet Shop critters. At least they don't have hideous giant bug eyes and other distorted features.

Things to Do With Your Uni

They don't like to get dirty, and they don't have fingers, so making sand castles or mud pies with your Uni is out of the question.

But if you a dream to be a makeup artist or a hairstylist, you're in luck: Your Uni would almost certainly LOVE this kind of attention. Braid her mane, put bows in her tail, paint her hooves, dress her up, etc.

Lots of Unis love being in the spotlight. If your Uni is a bit of a ham, I'm sure you could convince him to do karaoke with you.

Some Unis like to explore, but unless their favorite place to explore is the mall, this can be a bit of a pain. Your Uni might stop every now and then to complain about dirt on his hooves or burs in his mane. You'll constantly have to follow him around with a comb, a towel, and some soap to deal with these things.

But even the mall has its dangers. You'd better have a ton of Neopoints when you go shopping with a Uni, because a Uni is always on the lookout for combs, brushes, jewelry, and anything else that will enhance her beauty.

How Many Unis Do You Have?

Maybe I wouldn't draw quite so many weird looks if I just took a Uni tote bag to the library... for books.

Neopets Uni Stuff on eBay

Last time I looked, I was actually surprised by the number of Uni toys you can find on eBay. If you have a tough time finding a certain Uni plushie or figure, eBay is the place to go.
