Griffin

Inheriting regal aspects of both their ancestor, the lion and the eagle, griffins are called the king of all creatures. They are a highly protective species, whether over their eggs or treasure in their domain. During nesting season, they move to the mountain tops, finding sheltered craigs to build their nests and raise their young. Parents take turns watching over the nest until the cubs learn to fly. Griffins mate for life and form strong bonds with their partner. The death of one mate often results in the death of the other. Despite their protective nature, griffins are not vicious creatures and make loyal companions when tamed.
