GRYPHON
LARGE BEAST
The majestic gryphon is described by karthian lore as a large flying beast with the body
of a lion and the feathered wings and head of an eagle. One of the greatest predators of the
skies, gryphons are largely solitary creatures dwelling in the northern Karthian regions
and further beyond.
Gryphons mate with a singular partner for life and are extremely territorial,
designating a hunting ground near where they nest and chasing and killing
anything else that nears it.
GRYPHON CULTURE
Gryphons, having a lesser intelligence, do not have culture per say. They live as
singular couples that compete for territory. Gryphons will choose a forested valley
with cliffs or highlands nearing the base and lower sections of mountains as their
nesting spot and will traditionally never leave that spot once chosen, unless chased
out by something larger.
GRYPHON RELIGION
Gryphons are beasts of nature and therefore have no religion, but
will respect faeic creatures as well as the
greater powers and spirits of nature.
GRYPHON DIMORPHISMS
While the male and female of the gryphon species are nigh-identical in their sizes and
shapes, the male gryphon tends to have white and gold feathering while the female tends
to have a more muted brown colouring.
