Griffins

Griffins are giant eagle-lions creatures.

Note: They are not to be confused with Ryoka Griffin. Also, Griffon Hunt

Background

Griffons hunt in packs and are considered a serious threat in northern Izril and Terandria, though much less in the southern half of Izril. They have a territorial relationship with Wyverns and have pushed into their habitat after crossing the sea from Terandria.

Royal Griffins

Unlike the lesser Griffins, Royal Griffins are intelligent long-lived beings that rule their kind. Not much is known about them, but a 60 year-old royal is still considered young, and has trouble speking the common language at that age.

Tamed Griffins

It is possible to tame Griffins when they are raised from being babies. In Terandria, the nation of Kaliv is famous for having a fighting force riding on Griffins under the command of the Griffin Queen, Novakya. Her son, the exiled Griffin Prince, also rides one of the beasts, as does Talia Kallinad, whose favorite War-Griffin is called Amberwing.
