Not a silly question at all! Ryus are the little digital pets you'll see that a lot of us have in userbar stacks beneath our forum names when we post. They hatch from eggs in one of several forms, can grow and evolve and change to new species depending on how well they get taken care of. Mine is the first form of the dragon branch, currently being visited by another member's Ryu that's currently the first stage of the cat branch. If interested, there's a great guide on how to get one for your profile
