==Griffin Creation Guide ==
The information listed below is integral to making a griffin character. We ask you to prioritize our worldbuilding, these facts must be kept in mind even when deviating from societal norms.
===Appearance ===
Griffins are large creatures that stand out amongst most other species. Their front half resembles that of a tyto owl, similar round disc and rounded wings while the rear is more akin to a lion. Their faces aren't very expressive, most often relying on their flexible heads and ears to emote instead. 
===Naming Scheme===
Griffins abide by two naming structures. Older griffins tend to be named like ponies, most often like pegasi, while younger griffins reached into their history and started naming themselves accordingly. These new griffin names are short, no more than a few syllables, and amalgamations of other words. These names that are built up often have deep and complex meaning and symbolism despite being short and illogical at a glance.

Griffins do not receive cutiemarks. They have full flight capabilities but no spellcasting. They have no other internal magic.
