Homebrew Eyrie Species Details

The Eyrie is a furry Neopet and a quadruped, meaning it walks on four legs. It is notable for being the only pet to have both fur and a beak; it can also be easily recognized by its very large wings, its two ear-like tufts on top of the head, and the ruff around its neck. Its long tail is somewhat weak-looking and probably has no purpose, either on the ground or in flight. The Eyrie bears some resemblance to the human legend of the Griffin. It is a taller-than-average Neopet.

Eyries originate in Neopia's tropical regions, although the pet was discovered before the introduction of Mystery Island by name. They are fierce and proud pets who will never back down from a challenge, but they also make playful friends and good training partners. Their large wings make them powerful fliers, equally competent on the ground and in the air, and Eyries are large enough to carry other pets on their backs during flight.
