Kougra Items

The Kougra is a furry Neopet and a quadruped, meaning it walks on four legs. Its main distinguishing feature is its long, striped tail; it also has very distinctively shaped ears, round with a small semicircular notch towards the base. Most colours of Kougra have stripy markings on their backs, foreheads and legs, and triangular patches of lighter fur around their eyes. The Kougra is a medium-sized Neopet.

Kougras originally come from the lush forests of Mystery Island, and even those born far away from the island like to visit it and explore. They are playful creatures who enjoy having mock-fights with their friends, pouncing with their large but soft paws. Many Kougras are very proud of their teeth, which are very sharp and shiny.

The Kougra was introduced on the 10th day of Hiding, Year Two (known to non-Neopians as August 10th, 2000). At the time, Mystery Island itself had just been discovered, and was still a very exotic and unknown land only reachable for a price. Apparently, TNT's working name for the Kougra was the Tigercub; the name it eventually ended up with may be a combination of "cougar" (a type of big cat) and "grrr". The first artwork shows all the features we're familiar with today, but has a rather one-dimensional appearance.

Old Kougra

TNT's first attempt to make the Kougra look a little more professional was not a success, with many owners complaining about the pet's odd, spacey look. Some hasty tweaking was done, and the new design got the users' support. The Kougra hasn't changed much from this third model at all, and remains a very popular Neopet.

A Few Famous Kougras

  • Commander Gormos was one of Sloth's aides, but due to an unfortunate incident, he began to be viewed as a hero of the resistance by the pets on Kreludor. He resents their hero-worship, but it's probably a lot better than the battering that the rest of Sloth's army got.
  • Jake the Explorer is a spirited young adventurer with a rather fetching hat. You can join his explorations in the game Caves and Corridors.
  • Linae was a crew member aboard the famous flying ship, the Cyodrake's Gaze. With the ship safely docked in Shenkuu, she now spends most of her time playing her favourite game, Kou Jong.
  • Professor Milton Clodbottle is a researcher with a keen interest in Petpetpets. It was he who created the concept of small, self-contained environments for the little creatures, known as Habitariums.
  • Altador Cup fans can look out for Kougra players Aldric Beign (Team Moltara) and Bertie Shurtz (Team Mystery Island).
