Gryphon

The gryphon has the head, wings, and forefeet of an eagle, and the hindquarters of a lion. Training a young gryphon is at Animal Handling-3 and is worth $5,000 at TL3. In some settings not only cannot adult gryphons be trained but they cannot be handled by anyone but the one who trained them. A gryphon's flying encumbrance is no greater than Light encumbrance though there are rumors of gryphons that have innate Light Burden but if such gryphons do exist they are a carefully guarded secret.
At first glance a Greater Gryphon appears to be nothing more than a larger version (16 yards long and 8 yards high at the shoulder) of its smaller kin but the only record of such a Gryphon was under the control of Morgan le Fay. This means it is unclear if it was a real Gryphon or some form of magical contruct hence it being classified as Faerie rather than Animal (Hybrid)
