Recently, a team of linguists studying the winged creature we've known as the Aerie discovered that we'd misunderstood these majestic beasts all along. After reviewing their language, it's become clear that they refer to one another as Irions. What we mistakenly believed to be The Aerie turned out to be the name for their home, not their species. In light of this discovery, all references to Aeries on record have been corrected.

Luxe: Yeah, instead you just rip off every other fantasy based creature similar to it. Gryphon, Hippogriff, etc.
Honestly, I don't see why so few changes were made. There were several complaints about the revamp and only two were remotely fixed and not for the better IMO. I don't think it's over all bad however, it just wasn't ready to be released.

First of all, the art is great. I'm really happy this version of the revamp went through - it's entirely regal looking, as I at least believe Griffons should be.
I'm a little iffy with the coloring changes - the whole Common Aerie being greenish while the new Irion is brownish, but it's something I can live with.
Secondly, I find it funny that people want a more feminine Irion, considering that it is based off of a creature that is made up of two animals (the lion and the eagle) where the female is both stronger and more well-built than the male. I mean, male lions are big, but it's female lions are bulky with muscle. Male eagles are generally both smaller and less bulky than female eagles. Generally, female eagles are quite a bit larger than males (around 20-25%).
So, I guess I'll have to ask this question: How do you feminize a female that is more 'male' than the male?

NK: My request is far from personal. In fact, a number of others agreed that the revamp needed to be feminized - and other including me supported the "other" Aerie revamp, which was never opened to polling much to many people's dismay.
I am still disappointed by the abrupt choice to slightly tweak and release - I believe that perhaps, if the artist had been more patient, perhaps more people with Aeries/Irions (most of the people commenting probably don't even have an Aerie/Irion) who wanted more changes done to feminize it could've been satisfied.
But I guess the artists have enough to deal with rather than wait...I still think the name change was unnecessary, the revamp released too early with too few changes, etc.

I will forever refer to these as aeries. And apparently the revamp ended up going through? Hm I think the aerie and irion should have been made into 2 different species, because I don't look at this and see a typical "Aerie" ...or whatever. Thankfully my aerie is chibi or I would be really upset about the changes. I dun like change.

I'm just glad I don't own an Aerie. This new look is somewhat too static for my taste. The pet looks like it escaped from a family crest.

I like the name change which surprises me. I also like the artwork which is very nice. My only really big problem with the revamp is that the look doesn't match my pet who is a sun aerie. This new look is, as others have said, too masculine looking for my tastes. Oh well, maybe now I'll have fun choosing a new color for Nightengale.

I'm happy with the revamp, but the colors kind of bother me. My dusk Aerie used to be a darker shade of blue and its beak/front legs weren't so light .
Oh well, there is nothing I can do to change that, so I guess I'll just have to get used to it.

I don't like it.
Hydrus Aeries were one of my favorite pets and one of the best drawn pets in my opinion. I guess I won't be getting that pet some day after all.
It just looks so masculine, bulky and I don't like the front legs. I thought the feline type legs on the old one looked so much better. These just look extremely awkward.
But whatever, I bet the majority likes this one and nothing else will be done about it so I'm not really sure why I'm commenting in the first place.

Oops, sorry for the blank post, that was an accident. With apologies aside, I see no reason to complain about something that's already done.
The name is nice and I think the art itself is fine. If I don't the pet you can always change it. What are the chances that you don't like a single pet on this site.

Strix, your request to make it more 'feminine' looking is a personal preference. Not some sort of blemish like you're making it out to be. If we conformed to fit the personal requests of every user the Irion would then look disfigured. A lot of opinions were considered when making the newer Irion. Just because yours in particular wasn't considered doesn't mean you should throw a fit.
WITH THAT ASIDE.
I'm so impressed with this revamp. You have no idea. It looks multitudes better and I can't wait to see the revamps to go with it C:

I see no clear reason. The name change is really uneccessary, and th revamp looks essentially more or less the same as the old one. The artists did nothing to make it more feminine-looking, and as a result looks like it's on steroids. I'm sorry, but I don't like this refusal to comply enough with a more neutral, non-masculine look. Nice, Keith...real nice...now my beautiful female Hydrus Aerie (sorry, Iridion) will look like a disfigured freemartin for ever. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />

NoirRaven, the only species to have changed names with a revamp recently are species that had horribly generic names. Otter and Turdle made people think more of otters and turtles and therefore compare the two species more than was necessary. I would personally love to see names like Dragon, Pherret, and Bovyne change as well, but that's just me.
Aerie was changed in an attempt to keep it from being incorrectly compared to other similar species. At its most basic level it is a griffin-based pet and not based on any other pets from any other sites.

How can those wings support that mass? It must have more than just hollow bones! :B In general I like it... I had a gold Aerie for a long time (my first pet after some zaps) that I eventually Hydrus'd... I absolutely adore the current Hydrus, and I hope its revamp stays in line with its gestalt.

Not too fond of the name; I don't really see how it's related to the pet in any way, but I can live with it.
As for the art, I think the Aerie (Doubt I'll ever actually call them Irions) looks magnificent, all except for the wings, which I find rather small, and the back legs, which look awkward.
I hope the Dark Matter Aerie doesn't get a completely new pose. It was one of few that I loved through and through. =/

I like the name. I think it's pronounced eer-ee-on, but it could be ire-ee-on or even eer-aye-on or ire-aye-on... I like eer-ee-on the best, though. So, if Irions live in aeries, what is a group of Irions called? Flock? Pack? Would aerie still be capitalized as the name of their home? Sorry about all the questions, but this pet suddenly just became more interesting to me. xD
And now I've just realized how amazing it would be if one of the specially colored Irions had a pose mirroring the Bloodred Dragarth. Coat of arms gryphon FTW!

I like the concept of it, the design of it, the colour choices but the fact remains that compared to the new pets, the art quality is kind of meh, and it never really looked like an aerie to begin with.
So, let's wait for the revamp, and worry about it then. There are only a few ways it can go:
1. The revamp destroys all we knew about the former Hydrus Irion, and we are left weeping by it's transcendent beauty.
2. The revamp does not suit our tastes. We use the old Hydrus Irion as an overlay image and get on with our lives.
3. The revamp does not suit our tastes. Unable to reconcile it, we pout for a while, then change the pet into something else we have been coveting (In my case, the Chibi Aenoid, or a nightmare pet of some kind).
4. The revamp does not suit our tastes. Unable to reconcile it, we bitch and moan ad nauseum. We threaten to LEAV SUBETARD 4EVAR if the old Hydrus Irion doesn't come back, and secretly the staff laugh at us. Conversely, other users will be openly laughing at us.
By my count, only one of these possibilities is objectionable.

I still kinda think the front legs are too stiff - where do they bend? Not very fond of the name change eithier, what was wrong with aerie? It also seems that all of the fluff is on the front part of its chest, with none at all of his legs. The wings are also -I think- too small for his body, and the 'thumbs' on his front feet don't look like they belong. Anyway, please don't change the hydrus version! I'm planning on changing Jade into one and I think It's fine the way it is.

Forgot to add in, I do know that these guys will grow on me once I get over the change xD It is a vast improvement.

I LOVE the new name, it was WAY to close to NEO's name for a similar pet. And the new look is great too. Quote by Bagheera23608.

To me, none of the KEY issues seem to have been addressesed? I do love this new version just the combination of the small wings, startled expression, etc, is a bit..much.
I also do not understand why the Aeries were renamed. Could someone go IN-DEPTH? Was it too close to the Eyrie on neopets?

i just do not get why folks are getting so bent out of shape on the name changes around here. I'll stop there. It makes no sense.

Mmmm, I really like this revamp.
I don't like the name change. I'll get used to it since I own one.
I do like that we've embraced the more "griffin" look of the pet.
And the artwork is lovely.
I'm also a bit apprehensive about my own pet changing; she's reborn, but I'm sure it will be alright.

Hmmm... I don't really know what to say. The art is lovely, I love the new pose... and I can't wait to see what happens with the special poses. England has been waiting for his revamp for awhile. ;D
Cheers to the artists!

I wish more of the critiques had been addressed, especially the tiny wings (which still look really awkward on such a powerful, majestic creature)... but at least the hind leg does look better. I'll miss the unique look and personality of the Aerie, but I guess there's not much room for deviations from the norm where gryphons are concerned.
Very nice art, though, and for once a name change I can actually get into. Good job, Jag!

With all due respect to you and the pets that you are waiting on, this news post is about the <strong>irion revamp</strong>. Please stay on topic. We know you are waiting on other pets, and we promise we won't forget about them without reminders.

Yay, finally! I love this. I don't know yet if I'll have one other than my Hydrus guy - I shall wait and see how the nonstandard poses look, and I do wish the wings had been larger. But it's wonderful to see them properly fierce and gryphonaceous at last.

"I'm going to miss the griffin."
From Wikipedia:
<i>The griffin is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and often wings of an eagle.</i>
How can you miss something we've given you? xD

This revamp is MUCH better than the first revamp, IMO. The legs look a lot better. Although, the wings still seem a little dis-proportioned to the rest of the body.

I'm going to miss the griffin. =/ Now it's a hippogriff (except it has lion back legs instead of horse)
But I'm quite fond of Jag's work, and I have to say it looks much better than the 'second revamp'. Though I kind of wish they used the first one.

The bird feet are really strange, I'm not sure what better way I could say that, but they don't look quite right. Hopefully this design will get some touching up? It's definitely beautiful, though, can't wait to see the special poses.

Ayasha, there's the two images side by side (well top and bottom, didn't want to stretch the page.). The last attempt is on top, the official new release on bottom.
It looks like the feet/legs were the main things that were tweaked.

Although, these don't look any different from the proposed revamp..? I don't see any of the suggested changes here and if that's the case I'm curious why these took so long to go through? ^^; I mean, I don't mean to be rude - the revamp is nice - it just seems... odd, I guess, to me?

All irions without bird front feet and markings will need to be redone. We will try to keep the original designs in mind when revamping, but begging us not to touch your irion is a futile effort. We have to keep our art consistent.

Tiki, it must be because there's a pet species at Neopets which looks like the Irion, and the name is similar to "Aerie".
Anyways, I love this. I'm getting an Irion.
