The '''Shoyru''' is a small [[wikipedia:dragon|dragon]]-like Neopet originally created by a user in a "Create-A-Pet" competition run on the site and then released on April 20, 2000. Since that time, their basic design has remained relatively unchanged. The Shoyru's original side profile had created the misconception that they only had a [[wiktionary:cyclops|single eye]]. This was remedied slightly with the introduction of [[Neopets 2.0]] in 2007.

Despite being draconic in appearance, Shoyrus do not have the ability to breathe fire unlike other dragon-inspired Neopets such as [[Draik]]s and [[Scorchio]]s. They are however described as fiery in terms of their personality - being loyal to those that treat them kindly but never forgiving of those that don't.

Shoyrus are fantastic flyers that love to soar through the skies and play [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=1&id=32 hide and seek] in the clouds. They are generally [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=6&id=59 friendly] pets but do have a mischievous streak to them, especially during the [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=5&id=2 full moon]. Shoyrus are tough little Neopets that, with the proper [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=1&id=169 training and care], have the potential to become great [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=1&id=118 warriors].

Shoyrus have the distinction of placing first in [http://www.neopets.com/topneopets.phtml Neopet popularity]. They comprise roughly 6.2% of all Neopets created. In the [[Neopets TCG|Neopets Trading Card Game]], Shoyrus are associated with the element of Air.

==Battledome==
In the Battledome, Shoyrus have a 20% resistance to fire attacks. They also have six species [[abilities]]:
