Griffins

Aye. half-eagle, half-tomcat, just like one the lord's crest. 'Cept this 'un was carryin' me dead cow 'stead of a scepter.

Griffins were once only foudn high in the mountains, where they would hunt marmots and wild goats. When humans encroached on their lands, however, griffins soon discovered a new source of much more plentiful and easier-caught prey: cows, sheep and shepherds. Though still wary of main roads and towns (where folk with the means to hire a witcher are like to dwell), these half-eagle, half-wildcat creatures have gone form rarities to oft-encountered pests knonw throughout the Northern Realms. Especially hated are the subspecies known as royal grffins and archgriffins.
