neopets eyrie
Eyries inhabit the tropical climates of Neopia. They are very playful but can be ferocious at times.
The Eyrie resembles a griffin. Eyries live in tropical regions and like to play but can be quite fierce and cunning in battle, especially if their territory is ever threatened. They are adventurous, eager to learn, and noble.
The pet now called the Eyrie was originally the Cerpull, one of the original pets, which looked more like a dragon than a griffin. It was first changed into the more gentle Tatsu on July 13, 2000, before being completely redesigned to the current Eyrie on January 26th 2001.
The definition of an eyrie is "the lofty nest of a bird of prey (such as a hawk or eagle)" or "any habitation at a high altitude", which makes it an excellent name for a neopet that resembles a bird.
In the Neopets TCG, Eyries are associated with the element of air.
As of June 2007, they were ranked 9th most popular out of 50+ available species. Over 7.1 million have been created. October 10th is Eyrie Day.
