A Gryphon is a Chimerae; that is, a blending of more than one animal. Gryphons are raptorine in the foreparts and leonine in the hind with little exception. The typical Gryphon has an eagle head, forelegs and wings, with a lion hind quarters, hind legs and tail.

Gryphons are fierce but solitary, at least with other species. They prefer isolated areas, and live alone, but for other Gryphons. Their trust is hard to earn, but once one has it, they are extremely loyal. Gryphons are not fearless, but they are very courageous. Perhaps most important of all, they are not foolish. They are very wise beings.

Gryphons mate for life. Once they have chosen a mate, they are forever faithful, and if the first mate dies, they will not take another.
