Grifflet

The grifflet is a young, yet magnificent beast. Mottled brown feathers marked with light splotches cover the grifflet's front legs, forebody, and wings, while the creature's eagle-like head is almost completely grey. The rear half of the grifflet's body is that of a young lion, with short, pale yellow fur and a long feline tail. Even at this immature stage of life, the horse-sized grifflet is a deadly foe.
