Origins[]
The Leogryph is a creature with origins in Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Greek Mythology, Medieval Legend and Heraldry.
Appearance[]
The Leogriff (or Leogryph) is an ancient beast from the sands of Egypt, the griffin has the body and hind legs of a lion. Its fur keeps it warm within the colder months and helps keep sun rays off their skin. The griffin has giant bird-like wings that let it fly through the sky. It has the fore-front of a bird (mostly an eagle) which gives it keen eye sight and a powerful hearing so it can hunt its prey even better.
Behavior[]
Leogryphs are carnivorous hunters, with hunting patterns more of raptor than of lion. They're seldom docile creatures, and quite difficult for humans to tame.
Abilities[]
Besides keen eyesight and notable sense of smell, gryphons also have two different sets of powerful claws and the gift of flight.
