The Bori (bor-ee) is a timid Neopet originating from Terror Mountain. A long time ago, the leader of all Boris hid the pets underneath the Ice Caves to keep them safe from the Bringer of Night. Thousands of years later, Hannah, along with her newly-found companion Armin, finally freed the Bori colony and defeated the Bringer of Night.
Boris are 40cm (1.31ft) on average, making them one of the smaller Neopets.[1]
Boris are not limited edition, meaning they can created year-round. However, in fall 2004, users who downloaded the Neopets/Yahoo Toolbar were given the opportunity to create the very first Boris in Neopia. They could pick from five colours - Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Ice (read more about it here). Each user was allowed one Bori per account.[2]
Site description: "Boris are four-legged beasts with solid armour back plates and formidable claws that can tunnel through the earth with unstoppable force! Despite their incredible abilities, Boris are rather timid, often finding solace in their comfort zones underground." [3]
Appearance[]
Bori resemble a cross between donkeys and armadillos. In fact, the name itself is a play on the word 'burro', meaning 'donkey' in Spanish.

Ice Bori[]
Ice Boris are a special variety of Boris that were originally available via downloading the Neopets/Yahoo Toolbar during the Hannah and the Ice Caves Plot. They are not available the Lab Ray nor the Rainbow Fountain. When an Ice Bori is abandoned, it is instantly turned Blue, but retains its natural colour when transferred.[5]
Nowadays, there are three methods of obtaining an Ice Bori: winning the annual Holiday Dream Neopet Giveaway, trading for one, or using the Species Change Premium perk, which becomes active once per year.[6]
