hese strange, four-legged creatures combine a lion's body with the head, legs, and wings of a large eagle. Like an eagle's, a griffin's front legs are covered in feathers and end in sharp talons; its hind legs resemble, those of a lion, covered in soft fur and ending in a paw. A typical griffin stands 4 feet tall at the shoulder, and is 5 to 6 feet long with an average wingspan of 7 to 9 feet. The head of a griffin resembles that of an eagle, with large, keen eyes and a sharp beak. Its wings are covered with bright feathers, usually yellow and white, but sometimes red and orange. Griffins gather in nests of up to 10 individuals, but more commonly live in flocks of 4 or 5. They nest in mountainous regions, and rarely venture into the jungles or forests of Barsaive. Griffins seldom attack travelers on foot, unless their territory is threatened. Their strong taste for horse meat occasionally leads them to attack travelers on horseback, in order to feed on the horse. An attacking griffin swoops down on an opponent and strikes out with its talons. Such a swooping attack adds 3 steps to a griffin's Damage Test, but also limits the griffin to one attack per round. After a swooping attack, a griffin remains on the ground, and can attack its prey with its talons and hind claws. Humanoids of average human size and smaller, except for windlings, can use griffins as aerial mounts. Though difficult to train, tame griffins make excellent steeds.
