[Rq-rules] griffon and other beasties wasSea Griffon

[steven mckenzie]

wow, as you can tell by my "name" I am definately into
griffons from male griffonss with no wings that have
sharpened pionions on their sholders to minigriffs etc
we also had different species of unicorns, from
gracile, to huge and ponderous rhino like beasties

Well... since my Uschi-Laahr campaign revolves around
a lot of the local animals being six legged "griffins"
as well as the flying sort, I've used it a lot!  I
even did a huge flightless form called the Tchiapang,
which terrified the living daylights out of the party.
 I even have birds with two pairs of wings in some
places.  It just helped with "alieness" of the
setting- a nice piece of chrome, I suppose.

 

In my world, the sea griffins were hunted for their
plumage and their eggs, but since they often
congregated in flying packs, killing them or stealing
into their nests could be fraught.

 

Good ideas though, I liked the one about the guano!

sea-griffin can be a crossbreed between a Sea-Lion and
an Albatross :)
