The Gelert ("gell-ert") is an extremely loyal and brave dog-like Neopet that values friendship over all else. They also have strong legs and a heightened sense of smell, making them suitable pets for adventure.

Gelerts are 60cm (1.97ft) on average, making them one of the medium-sized Neopets.[1]

Gelerts are not limited edition, meaning they can be created year-round.

Site description: "When it comes to having a reliable companion, look no further than the Gelert! This flimsy-eared canine boasts some seriously fantastic qualities, including a heightened sense of smell and four strong legs. As loyal as it is powerful, a Gelert serves as a fabulous adventuring companion."[2]

Appearance[]

Previous Versions[]

The original Gelert, Polypup, had a chubby and angular body with nostrils instead of the nose pad seen in its modern counterpart. When the pet was renamed and redesigned on 19th July 2000, Gelerts were streamlined and given the signature whip-like ears and tails. 29th November 2001, the Gelert's new design was chosen from the Pick a Gelert competition, where The Neopets Team combined the two winning picks - 2 and 5.
