The '''Eyrie''' is a [[Wikipedia:Griffin|Griffin]]-like Neopet from the tropical climates of [[Neopia]]. They can be very playful but also ferocious at times, especially if their territory is threatened. 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]]. They can be very playful but also ferocious at times, especially if their territory is threatened. Their great sense of adventure can sometimes overwhelm their equally strong desire to learn.


==History==
In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of Air.
''Main Article: [[Old Neopets]]''


The Eyrie was originally called the Cerpull which looked more like a dragon than a griffin. The Cerpull was renamed the Tatsu on the 13th of July, 2000. On January 26 the following year, the Tatsu was renamed yet again, to the Eyrie. The name has not changed since. To accompany with these name changes, the Eyrie gradually became less dragon-like by loosing scales, horns and leathery wings.

{{main|List of Neopet redesigns#Eyrie}}


In redesigning the Tatsu, [[TNT]] held a Pick-A-Tatsu competition.
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}}
