Armored Griffin

LARGE BEAST

A griffin is a creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion and the head, wings, and front talons of an eagle. Often depicted as majestic and powerful, griffins symbolize strength, courage, and vigilance in mythology and heraldry. They are intelligent, noble beasts, capable of flight and fierce in battle. The Kingdom of Theresia uses them as their main aerial fighters with knights mounted on them with long lances.
