The proud, secretive griffins not only inhabit the Ancient Lands, but also places outside though others may not know it...
Lifespan: 90-100 years
Although some griffins can reach 100 years, most griffins live to the ripe old age of 95.
Appearance:
Griffins look like a lion-eagle cross, with magnificent paws and sharp talons, great wings and an eagle or lion head.
Size:
Griffins are usually the size of horses, usually ranging from the size of a miniature horse to that of a draft horse.
Temperament:
Griffins are beautiful creatures, both charismatic and enigmatic, and they love to smile and spend time in forests, and places that correspond with their respective element.
Diet:
All griffins are carnivorous, eating things like deer and cattle but if they live near an ocean or sea, they will live off of fish.
Habitat:
A griffin's favorite place is an eyrie high in the mountains that overlooks a large, forested valley although sometimes they live in eyries by the sea.
Reproduction:
Griffins become sexually mature and full grown at 5 years of age. They are able to reproduce until death. These creatures will choose a mate for life and will only choose a new one if their former mate dies. They will typically have 1-2 eggs in a single clutch and they mate once every two years in the fall. The eggs hatch a season after they are laid, so it takes two seasons for dragon eggs to hatch.
Magical Abilities:
Griffins can have some control over one or more elements, while some have powers unknown to others. They will typically use their powers to protect and preserve the land, but if needed, they will use it in war.
