Yellow Eyrie as of June 19, 2006.

The Eyrie is a Griffin-like Neopet from the tropical climates of Neopia. They can be very playful, but also ferocious at times.

History

Main Article: Old Neopets

The Eyrie was originally called the Cerpull and was renamed the Tatsu on the 13th July 2000. On the 26th January 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.

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

Etymology

Eyrie is an alternate spelling of aerie, the high-altitude nest of a bird of prey, which the Eyrie resembles.
