Their great sense of adventure can sometimes overwhelm their equally strong desire to learn. | The '''Eyrie''' (from ''[[wiktionary:eyrie|eyrie]]'', an [[wikipedia:eagle|eagle]]'s nest) is a [[Wikipedia:Griffin|griffin]]-like Neopet from the tropical climates of [[Neopia]].

The Eyrie was originally called the Cerpull, and looked more like a [[wikipedia:European dragon|dragon]] than a griffin. The Cerpull was renamed the Tatsu on the 13 July 2000. For this change they removed a nose horn, and gave it a main of hair instead of a spiked spine. On January 26 2001, the Tatsu was renamed again, becoming the Eyrie. This name change accompanied a complete transformation to today's griffin-like anatomy. This design was chosen by users via a competition [[The Neopets Team]] held called ''Pick-A-Tatsu''.{{br}} | |||
