Kyrii Items

The Kyrii is a furry Neopet that walks on its two hind paws. It is easily recognisable by its large, pointed ears and the long mane that stretches down to its tail. It also has a naturally wide mouth that gives it a somewhat smug smile. It is a medium sized Neopet.

Kyrii are naturally sociable pets, and like spending time with their own species in groups as well as with other Neopets. They are very proud of their manes, and will not tolerate any dirt or damage to this precious part of their bodies. Although friendly, they are also very savvy when it comes to business, gossip and Battledoming, and pride themselves on not missing a trick.

Technically, the Kyrii is one of Neopia's "prehistoric" species, introduced before official records of Neopian events were kept. However, the original design for this pet is so drastically different that most people today would not recognise it as a Kyrii at all. It was named the Fuzio, and instead of having the sleek head-to-tail mane, was all fluff with only the eyes and mouth visible. In fact, it looked distinctly more like an ancestor of the JubJub.

Fuzio

The Fuzio was the result of a competition for fan entries. The original entry was by 'mbirch1', and looked like this:

Fuzio

The Kyrii as we know it was introduced to the site on the 9th day of Awakening, Year Three (known to non-Neopians as February 9th, 2001). It is believed there were some kind of legal issues involved with the drastic nature of the redraw, but whatever the reason, the paws and body of the Kyrii emerged from the fluff for the world to see, leaving only the mane untouched.

Kyrii

Kyriis have remained relatively unchanged in design to this day.

Kyrii harbour a mysterious allergy to apples. This extends to all foods with "apple" in their name, but fortunately excluding variants and hybrids such as the Azzle. The only exception is the Kyrii-specific Battledome item, the Kyrii Golden Apple of Healing. Kyriis who ingest any other apple-based food will come down with a case of the Itchy Scratchies.

Famous Kyriis

There are a number of important Kyrii in Neopia; here are five of the most famous.

  • Capara is an aspiring player of the game Cheat! However, she isn't actually very good at the game, preferring to rely on her charm to sway opponents.
  • The noble King Jazan of Qasala lifted the curse on his people and overcame his undead father's evil to bring peace to the Lost Desert, before playing an instrumental role in restoring the petrified faeries during the Faeries' Ruin.
  • The Island Mystic, when not serving as one of Mystery Island's five elders, offers daily (if inscrutable) fortunes along the lines of "you will suddenly realise that you have to paint your left ear green" to the superstitious, the avatar hunters, and the fans of the nonsensical.
  • Jacques the Swift is a noble pirate, and the best friend of the dashing Usul Garin. He made a name for himself during the war in Maraqua.
  • Kyruggi is one of the elders of Tyrannia, and a heroine of that country's brutal war. Now, with peace reigning over the land, she is most often to be found playing Go! Go! Go! with the other elders and her friends.
