The Koi (coy) is a fish-like Neopet that resides in Maraqua. As a general rule, they are curious and ingenious pets with a knack for creating inventions such as the Utility Fish, which are mechanical sea animals adapted for household tasks.
The Koi is limited edition, meaning it can only be created on its special pet day, earned from a Magical Plushie, Morphing/Mysterious Swirly/Transmogrification Potion, the Holiday Dream Neopet Giveaway, Species Change Premium perk, or Lab Ray.
Site description: "In the depths of Maraqua, the agile Kois swim with their delicate tails and versatile fins that double as arms. They are natural innovators with a knack for crafting clever inventions to simplify their underwater lives. If there's one thing they can't do, it is saying no to a treasure hunt!"[2]

Previous Versions[]
Koi were originally barely recognizable: they had broad snouts, back stripes, human-like hands, and a tail resembling that of a Jetsam's. They later got proper fins and the stripes on their backs were removed. (A few depictions of these ancient Koi are still floating around the site, especially in Raiders of Maraqua and NeoQuest.) The finalized Koi, with its long, flowing fins and real-world koi-like spotted pattern, was made into a graceful Neopet indeed.[3] Koi have remained more or less the same ever since, with the only adjustment being to their fins to show more clearly how they can hold things.
