The gryphon is the most numerous of all the indigenous wildlife on Thyra. Numerous breeds of them exist from the tunnelling sand gryphons of Spelheim, to the winged ice gryphons of Jotunheim. The largest of the breed is the massive colossal- type. The smallest breed is known as the mini gryph and fits neatly into a person’s pocket.
Many of them are mildly intelligent. Although officially classed as animals, they able to understand the basic thyranese speech. Few of them are even able to speak. These abilities, along with their superior eyesight makes them adept spies. The gryphons have a tendency to develop an obsession to jewels and will stop at nothing to hoarding them. Gryphs are used to perform various everyday roles in the thyran society. Their tasks range from the ceremonial duties to being mundane pets.
History
Despite being revered by many ibis as their ancestors, the felines and canines in general have little care to such beliefs. Many of the Gryphons have since been weaponized for the great race war. These war gryphons are encased in a set of customized body armour modules. They are armed with low-yield repeater cannons on their backs. To protect the incredibly vital senses of ocular hearing and vision, their combat helmets come equipped with polarized lenses and ear coverings.
