neopets korbat ancient korbat
Korbats are Neopia's creatures of the night. Despite their vampiric appearance they are mostly pleasant and friendly although there are exceptions. They are nocturnal and are usually inquisitive and mischievous. They have an impressive sense of smell and are happiest during a full moon.
Famous Korbats include Koya (from the Neopets Trading Card Game), Barallus from the game Cellblock, and Lord Darigan, though whether or not Darigan is truly a Korbat is uncertain. However, on the recent Korbat Day, there was a Caption Contest with Lord Darigan and three other Korbats. In a past Neopian Times editorial, Dr. Sloth is described as a mutated korbat, although this is most likely a joke.
The Korbat was one of the original pets on the site. In the Neopets TCG, Korbats are associated with the element of darkness.
Korbats are of average popularity on the site, but they are particularly popular with male players. As of June 2007 the Korbat is the 28th most popular Neopet out the 50+ species, with over 2.7 million created. October 26th is Korbat Day.
