The '''Pteri''' is a [[wikipedia:bird|bird]]-like [[Neopet]] introduced on May 16, 2001. Like the ''[[wikipedia:Archaeopteryx|Archaeopteryx]]'', from which they may get their name, they have an articulated tail and come from a prehistoric land - in the Pteri's case, [[Tyrannia]]. Pteris can now be found all over [[Neopia]].

Pteri are lively creatures who nest in high places such as treetops, and are typically mischievous, enjoying playing tricks on those who pass by. It is suggested that Pteris [http://neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=4&id=44 migrate] to [[Mystery Island]] like [[wikipedia:bird migration|birds on Earth]]. 

If a user has a Pteri pet, the [[Golden Pteri]] may make it rain [[Neopoints]] in a [[Random Event]] - otherwise, he will just fly away. 

While Pteris can eat a wide variety of Neopian [[food]], they are particularly partial to any ''worm'' food: these will fully restore a Pteri's hitpoints, heal it from any [[disease]], and make it bloated no matter how hungry it was before. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], Pteris are associated with the element of Air, and due to their avian nature, they are also highly resistant to air attacks in the [[Battledome]].

==Battledome==
In the [[Battledome]], Pteris receive 40% less damage from air attacks. They can learn six species [[abilities]]:
