Drew some griff heads
Top: Hippogriff and Gryphon
Bottom: Valravn and Owlbear
- I gave all the caniform griffs turkey vulture noses for the sense of smell. Owlbears and valravns can track down prey or carcasses from miles away.
- Griffs have fins. The fin down their neck is used for cooling off or social signaling. In griffs that pack or pair hunt the fins are bright red. For griffs that live in colder climates the fins are often reduced and able to fold under the feathers.
- Owlbears are flightless. Their wings evolved into sharp defensive spurs.
- Owlbears are also primarily nocturnal. Gryphons are diurnal hunters. Both hippogriffs and valravn tend to be more active at dawn/dusk.
We need those tough emotions and feelings to survive life! But.. sometimes it can be a bit hard to control. Especially when ND or struggling with mental illnesses. In Zephyr’s case - some of these feelings triggers something much more … real… that needs to be controlled. And he probably would’ve liked to have avoided it all together.
But does he really?
The Nachtkrapp is a boogeyman figure From the folklore of Germany and Austria. It is most often described as a huge raven with empty eye sockets and holes in its wings. Looking into the Nachtkrapp’s empty eyes will cause immediate death, while looking at the holes in its wings can cause illness and disease.
The Nachtkrapp is most often said to snatch up wayward children, taking them back to its nest where it will tear off their limbs, rip out their heart and eat them. Other versions of the story exist in places like Hungary, Poland and Russia, where the Nachtkrapp is described as more closely resembling an owl or heron.
