Editing 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.<ref name=":Glossary">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/19/glossary/ Glossary]</ref>

== 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<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/16/6-08/ Chapter 6.08]</ref>. 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,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/14/6-44-e/ Chapter 6.44 E]</ref> as does [[Talia Kallinad]], whose favorite War-Griffin is called ''Amberwing''.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/06/08/6-23-d/ Chapter 6.23 D]</ref>
