Tyrannian History
Location : Far below the surface of Neopia
Population : 109,870 (32% Grarrl, 27% Chomby,
16% Uggaroo,
13% Uggsul, 10% Jarbjarb, 2% Other)
Area : 825 sq. km
GDP : 32 million NP
Weather : Intense
Humid Heat
Terrain : Thick Muddle & Mishmash
Government : Republic |
The powerful earthquake that shook the Ice Caves cracked the surface of the caves in two, leaving a dark crevasse right down its centre. Neopians came from all around to
explore the split ice, later finding a tunnel leading down into the blackness...revealing Tyrannia!
As gorgeous as it can be deadly, the red-orange aura of the Tyrannian Jungle could lead even the most confident Grarrl off course and make direction-keeping almost impossible, even with a Handy Compass.
The sunlight rarely permeates the thick prehistoric jungle vegetation, which visitors call "Muddle & Mishmash". In the
late afternoons and evenings, wandering Chombys often find themselves stuck in clumpy, smelly tar pits and wind up becoming
a pile of fossilised bones for Jarbjarbs to dig up and give to their little Stegos to chew on.
If you are new to this area, and many pets are, a quick prehistoric language course wouldn't hurt at all. Teach your pet
a few simple Tyrannian words and phrases so it can get around, and then maybe it will be able pick up that Hewn Stone Chair you've been looking to put in your NeoHome. Try these for starters: "Uggh-Ugga-Ugg" and "Aka aka UMBUKU". Those two are pretty
much all you'll need to get around this place. Just be careful who you say those to, and be sure never to mix the two together
like this, "Aka ugga aka ugg UMBUKU uggh" because...well, just don't--it sounds silly and these Tyrannians are very sensitive
about their primitive language.
 And after all the exploring and nosing around, your pet is bound to be famished. A good place to fix this problem is the
Tyrannian Food shop. Typically, the prehistoric Chia will try to sell you a thick and meaty Ransaurus Steak or a juicy Bargasaurus Steak, but if that's not what your pet's into, then ask him for a Sack Plant or an infamous Purple Grasper, the distant cousin of the 100 ft. tall Purple Megalith. Either way, there's something in this lost land for every pet to sink its teeth into.

Tyrannian Games
Grarrl Keno - Bring your luck and bring lots of it to this game. You can choose from two to ten eggs on the board of 80 numbers. The
ferocious Grarrl will roar, and ten eggs will hatch into little baby Grarrls (how cute!). If any of the numbers you chose
match the eggs that hatch, you could be in for a really big prize!!! And then you could finally get that Uggatrip you've had your eye on for a while. Now wouldn't that make your stay in Tyrannia all the more worthwhile?
Switch-A-Roo (now retired) - Think you've got a good eye? Think you're pretty smart? Well, Uggaroo thinks he's smarter. He puts the stone under one
of the three coconut shells, and then starts to switch them around, trying to confuse you. Try and keep your eye on the correct
shell without getting dizzy! (NeoPets has discontinued this game. But maybe one day it will be back...)
The Wheel of Mediocrity - Officially the most mediocre game in Tyrannia, and all of Neopia for that matter, The Wheel of Mediocrity has pets all
over the land yawning and looking for something else to do. Highlights of the Wheel: 1000 NPs, a visit from the Earth Faerie,
and a boiled Trilo Bite.
 Tyranu Evavu - Taking its name from the Ancient Neopian words for "higher" and "lower," Tyranu Evavu has become all the rage with Neopians visiting the lost land of Tyrannia. Though novice players might think that it's just
a scam, those who have put in the time and effort to master the game have found it be a very "rewarding" experience, indeed.

Tyrannian Plateau History
Location : High up in the Tyrannian Mountains
Population : 32,600 (34% Chomby, 22% Grarrl,
20% Jarbjarb,
12% Uggsul, 8% Uggaroo, 4% Other)
Area : 850 sq. km
GDP : 32 million NP
Weather : Dry Heat
Terrain : Flat
Elevation : 8,035 km above sea level
Government : Republic |
The Tyrannian Plateau is safely nestled high in the mountains, separating the lush, thick Tyrannian Jungle from the scorching volcano off in the distance. The elevation hardly cools the sizzling summers down, and there isn't much
of a breeze, making this area the second hottest in all of Neopia. The Plateau is not very populated, but there still is plenty
to do, especially when a band like Sticks N Stones are in town. Thousands of screaming Tyrannians fill the Plateau, waiting to see their favourite musical act.
Because of its high altitude, most Neopians agree that it's a suitable area, overall, especially for scaly and not-too-furry
pets. And, of those who come for a visit, many decide to stay permanently. They usually wind up carving their new dwelling
out of the local mechamorphic rocks and adopting some of the wild Tyrannian PetPets, such as the Krawk and the Reptillior.
 The Plateau itself is made of mechamorphosed basaltic rock, forming one of the flattest, most spectacular surfaces
in Neopia. Pets can walk from one end to the other and not hit a bump. But where there is beauty there is also danger. Pets
should not wander into the Lair of the Beast, for they might not ever be the same once (or if) they come back out. They should also watch out for any cracks in the surface.
Rumour has it, well, actually it's a fact, that several pets have fallen in and have never returned. Take that Chomby for instance. He went chasing one of those Fungus Balls and he's still looking for a way out....

Chomby and the Fungus Balls - Ick! Fungus Balls...nobody wants to touch them, not even that poor, poor Chomby, who has fallen victim to one of the Plateau's
cracks! Now he's forced to find his way out of some ridiculously hard mazes and he desperately needs your help. Try not to
let the Fungus Balls hit him, or he'll become very ill...and you wouldn't want that to happen, would you?
PTERATTACK - Fly around the canyons of Tyrannia shooting the evil Pterodactyls and Grarrls! There are three weapons in total to collect,
and each one can be upgraded multiple times. Good luck!
| NEW - Now if you score over 2,500 points in one go (and this has to be one of the
first three times you have scored per day) you will win a Magical Pteri Plushie!!! |

Kacheekers! - Now you can play a live game with your NeoFriends. It's just like checkers or draughts so you already know the rules.
Go! Go! Go! - Do you think you have what it takes to go head to head with some of Tyrannia's best card sharks? If so, then try a game
of Go! Go! Go!. See if you can beat the best of Tyrannia.

Giant Omelette - Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, a dinosaur of GIGANTIC proportions laid a massive egg. That egg split open, and
started to bake in the sun. Ever since then, a Giant Omelette has been cooking on the Tyrannian Plateau. It may seem silly,
but it is true. Why don't you break a piece off for your pet? If you get a piece big enough, you can feed your pet three times!
LAIR OF THE BEAST - This new place in Tyrannia is now active. Enter the cave... if you dare!
Tyrannian Concert Hall - If your favourite band is playing a gig in Tyrannia, then the place to see them is at the Tyrannian Concert Hall. The Hall
is reportedly capable of seating upwards of ten thousand spectators, a number which doesn't even include the numerous Tyrannians
who climb onto the Hall's roof or those who watch from nearby trees.
 Tyrannian Town Hall - The Tyrannian Town Hall is a vast rock where the Council of Elders meet in case of an emergency. It is here where you can
listen to the great speeches, as well as learn the essential strategies for defending the great land of Tyrannia. If there
is something going on, all you have to do pop your head in the War Tent. If you're lucky you'll be able to sit in on one of their important meetings. And who knows, the Elders may even call upon
you for some help.

Tyrannian Stories & Trivia
Did you know ...?
- Tyrannia once had a Volcano? Eventually, Neopets just consolidated the volcano area to other parts of Tyrannia.

is quite bright for this talented troupe of twangers.
- 7th August 2002 - The Tyrannian Concert Hall is proud to announce the arrival of Neopia's loudest punk band - Moehawk!

- Shuggu - After a long day's work out on the hot plateau, the last thing Shuggu wants to do is come home and do more work, especially
when he hasn't eaten all day long. All he wants to do is tuck right into that tasty omelette of his... but he can't--not with
these hungry Tyrannians with the same old story invading his cave.
