Previous Versions[]
The original Gelert, Polypup, had a chubby and angular body with nostrils instead of the nose pad seen in its modern counterpart. When the pet was renamed and redesigned on 19th July 2000, Gelerts were streamlined and given the signature whip-like ears and tails. 29th November 2001, the Gelert's new design was chosen from the Pick a Gelert competition, where The Neopets Team combined the two winning picks - 2 and 5.
