Gryphon

Gryphons are a hybrid pseudo-mythical creature that after centuries of doubt were confirmed to exist in very secluded areas of Casoria, specifically the dense forests of the Casorian Empire. As described in the myths surrounding them, these creatures are a hybrid of what appears to be the forefront of an eagle and the hind legs of a great cat, however unlike their mythical tales, they are not as large. If anything the average Gryphon rivals that of a large dog, rarely growing bigger than a mountain lion.
It is thought that while in days of old they were considered as transportation, if only in myth, the species has since evolved and adapted to it's needs, which involved in shrinking substantially. They are prized as pets by the heights of the aristocracy and appear in many imperial emblems as the official creature of the Empire.
