Gryphons

Basic Information

Anatomy

Six pairs of limbs; two wings for flight, two specialized front claws for hunting, and two back paws for running.

Genetics and Reproduction

Gryphons can lay eggs any time of the year. Communal nests often follow a seasonal plan, rearing young within the same timeframe.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Gryphons are natural omnivores who both hunt and forage. They prefer a high-protein diet, usually consisting of small animals and fish, but may pursue larger prey in a coordinated group. Excess food is dried and salted for storage.

Additional Information

Uses, Products & Exploitation

Mori's dragon army has decimated gryphon populations as a food source for her army. Gryphon eggs are considered a delicacy, but highly controversial to eat, considering they are sapient.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

There is a primary name and a clan name.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Many sapient species consider gryphons to be more beast-like than civilized persons, and imagine their societies to be tribal at best.
