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.

To accompany with these name changes, the Eyrie gradually became less dragon-like by losing scales, horns and leathery wings, gaining feathery wings instead.
