{{construction|reason=Detailed pet overview}}
The '''Shoyru''' is a small [[wikipedia:dragon|dragon]]-like Neopet released on April 20, 2000. 

==Overview==
The Shoyru was originally created by a user in a "Create-A-Pet" competition run on the site. Since that time, their design has remained relatively unchanged. Shoyrus are fantastic flyers who love to soar through the skies. Contrary to popular belief, Shoyrus do not breathe fire, and they do in fact possess two eyes.

Shoyrus have the distinction of placing first in [http://www.neopets.com/topneopets.phtml Neopet popularity]. They comprise roughly 6.24% of all Neopets created.

==Colours==
As of April 2009, Shoyrus come in 50 different [[Rainbow Pool|colours]]:
