Nimmo Items

The Nimmo is a smooth-skinned Neopet that walks on two large, flat feet. It is notable for its strong, powerful legs, its wide mouth, and the long tongue it can extend at will. It is slightly taller than the average Neopet.

Nimmos can be found all over Neopia, though they prefer environments near lots of water. They are strong swimmers and quick thinkers, traditionally prizing intelligence as an important quality. The Nimmo has a strong sense of spiritual harmony and balance, and likes to feel peaceful and at one with his or her surroundings. They also have a surprising affinity for martial arts.

The Nimmo is one of the "prehistoric" pets introduced before official records of Neopian events were kept. Its design was being revamped as early as the autumn of Year Two, suggesting it must have existed for a long time before then. The first Nimmo is a little clumsily drawn and seems to have an odd dark stripe across the middle of its body, but most of the features we're familiar with are present (and a couple, such as the long tongue, that are less visible today can be seen clearly). The extended, fingers-touching position of its hands is a traditional one among Nimmos.

A Few Famous Nimmos

  • Lumi is an enterprising babysitter who takes her job very seriously. Armed with a water pistol and a bag full of milk bottles, she does her best to control some mischievous Baby Usuls in the game The Usul Suspects. She appears to wear a wig, which is quite unusual for this normally hairless species.
  • Orrin kept track of supplies on board the famous flying ship, the Cyodrake's Gaze. Now that the ship has docked in Shenkuu, he runs a food shop selling local delicacies. He also helps organise Shenkuuvian festivals, as can be seen in the Revel Roundup game.
  • Ryshu is one of the highly respected elders of the Mystery Island Training School. He is a formidable martial artist, but also seems to have a more playful side, enjoying poetry-writing and playing on the island's beaches.
  • Sidney runs the scratchcard stand at the Deserted Fairground. It's amazing that he makes any sales, given his intimidating manner.
  • Altador Cup fans can keep an eye out for Nimmo players Reb "Weems" Weemelott (Team Brightvale) and Teylor Nix (Team Mystery Island), although cheering for Weemelott is discouraged as he is anything but a sporting player.
