The Eyrie is a 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
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 losing scales, horns and leathery wings, gaining feathery wings instead.
In redesigning the Tatsu, TNT held a Pick-A-Tatsu competition.
