neopets      bori

Bori are timid little creatures that rarely leave their underground home. Their sharp claws mean they are especially good at digging.

The Bori is the 49th Neopet and was released on October 13, 2004 to coincide with the Hannah and the Ice Caves plot. Bori are an underground armadillo-like race with fox-like heads and furry bodies who were kept in an enchanted sleep by some strange forces since Neopia's creation. They were awoken in the Hannah and the Ice Caves plot.

Although their claws are sharp enough to penetrate stone, they have timid personalities and dislike coming to the surface. They are afraid of the Bringer of Night, a Neopets villain. The plural of Bori is Bori and not, contrary to popular belief, Boris. Bori are not a limited edition pet, but their ice color could only be accessed by users who took part in a Yahoo! Toolbar promotion.

Famous Bori are Armin the Small and the Keeper of Time, both of whom were part of the Hannah and the Ice Caves plot. In the Neopets TCG, Bori are associated with the element of earth.

As of June 2007, it is ranked 34th out of 50+ species, with over 2.3 million created. On the popularity page, it is seen teasing the Ruki, because it is more popular. October 13th is Bori Day.
