Hybrids of cats and birds, Gryphons are skillful predators and faithful companions. As is true of cats and birds, some subspecies of Gryphons live in prides or flocks, while others are more solitary in their nature. Gryphons can be trained, but cannot be fully domesticated, and if they feel that they are consistently mistreated or neglected then they will either kill their masters or simply fly away. Generally, Gryphons prefer wide open spaces with plenty of hunting ground.
Trash Gryphon
In the filthy sewers and alleys of large cities, a small subspecies of Gryphons have adapted to living alongside humanoids in an urban sprawl. Visually a cross between a rat and a pigeon, Trash Gryphons skillfully sift through rubbish to find tasty discarded morsels. They make nests out of scraps of fabric and paper, and will avoid fighting unless they are protecting their nest and the city blocks immediately around it. Most Trash Gryphons form small flocks of three or four families each, who all permit one another to nest in the same general area and who will defend one another against threat from other flocks.
