Neopets 2026 Pride event introduces flag-colored pet paints and a non-binary faerie

Neopets is introducing new in-game items allowing pets to be painted with Pride flag colors for its 2026 Pride event. This year's event also features the non-binary Faerie Iridesia, formerly known as Baelia, who has been restored. Previous Pride celebrations included flag tapestries and merchandise. The game's inclusive updates have drawn both praise and criticism from its player base.
