Quick Facts
Appearance...
- Griffins appear like eagles at first glance, with all but the tail in appearance. However their hindquarters are much like a large cat, typically of the lion variety.
- A Griffin has curious tufts of feathers that look like ears, however they open during flight to allow for amazing agility at higher speeds.
- Often thin and light for their size, though they owe their flight to magical properties from the grand wizards that sired their species.
Habitat...
- Griffins have long been native to the Ashfall Mountains of Adon.
- Most griffins have hoards of gold high on steep cliffsides where they keep their eggs incubated in the shining metals high in the colder mountain tops.
- A griffin nest is a dangerous place to be, both environmentall
y and socially.
Behavior...
- Griffins are very aggressive, as they were created for such purposes as defending the keeps of wizards. When the wizarding caste died into little more than wise men, the griffins were loosed to their own causes.
- Griffins are very social with others of their kind, and will often nest in groups to safeguard their nests while others of their flights go out for a hunt.
- Griffins on the hunt will detour to accomidate a ransacking of a treasure caravan in order to obtain the reflective metals that keep their dark eggs warm.
