[quote name="Temere" date="2024-07-28 13:34:14" ] Now I'm hoping for an owl/bull for earth. [/quote] That'd be a Hippogryff alas, which is already noted as a different thing on FR from a Gryphon. [item=blue tang hippogriff] [item=cardinal hippogriff] I'm not too sure what they might use for Arcane, tbh. An owl for us IS pretty likely, all things considered, but I think I'd prefer something odd like a Nightjar and a Sphinx cat. Froggy skinny looking freak.

Worth noting that hyenas are feliform carnivores, if it's restricted to just feliforms, then I'd love to see something like a binturong or mongoose gryphon!

Also likewise praying for snow leopard/snowy owl or possible gyrfalcon for ice

both gryphons appear to have themed necklaces, i bet they'll all have them [emoji=fae happy size=1] last night i was thinking about the lightning gryphon and i could only think of great gray owl/white tiger. vulture/hyena is waaay cooler. since both of those are desert/savannah themed, i wonder if the environments of the elements could be a hint... maybe a diving bird for water...? oh !!! i hope the water gryphon is a seagull ! and maybe the other half could be an otter..? platypus, beaver... or maybe penguin/seal, very aquatic. i'll bet on that one actually. as for ice, theres already been a snowy owl and a polar bear familiar... lots of ice themed fluffy mammals... snow leopard, winter coat stoat, arctic fox, arctic hare, canadian lynx... googling arctic birds and i'd love to see a ptarmigan or a puffin gryphon. well now i'm very excited for the crystalline gala... i bet nature will be a tropical bird. shout out to the hoatzin. wait that'd be an awesome plague gryphon actually. [quote name="ShiningLatios" date="2024-07-28 13:30:06" ] will the earth gryphon have a bottom half of an extinct mammal like a smilodon or a thylacine? [/quote] archeopteryx/thylacine. i really want this now [emoji=fae laughing size=1]

I don’t know why, but while reading others’ comments on this thread, my weird *** brain came up with a Secretary bird/mongoose gryphon for Plague.

My brain’s logic: Disease and rot > poison/venom > snakes > mongoose and Secretary birds eat/hate snakes > hypothetical gryphon be keeping visitors safe from “Plague stuff”.

i said it elsewhere and i'll say it again: i would like an australia themed one for earth pls. fun bird possibilities: cassowaries (my first choice), emus, and kookaburras. and the "cat" half could get a little weird with dingos, wombats, or tazmanian devils, but you could go REAL weird with diprotodons (australia's extinct megafauna), smilodons and thylacines (extinct ones), or even a kangaroo if you wanted to be super out there (seems unlikely to me).

but like. large and flightless griffin for earth? yes???

I don't really like the vulture head for the Lightning gryphon, but still looking forward to seeing the others. Maybe Lightning's just not my flight.
