Flight Rising Discussion

Honestly with the release of the Light Gryphon, our new festival familiar for the Light flight in 2024, I had a question pop up in my head lately.

Is this year's familiars going to be themed around just gryphons?

or

Is this going to be a collection of mythological creatures in general?

I'm personally predicting it's just going to be Gryphons (I can't complain about that. I love gryphons :])

I think it's just gonna be gryphons, but I would LOVE the second option.

It's probably Gryphons. I'd really love the general creatures, but it's probably Gryphons. Which isn't bad either, it could be really fun and unique depending on how they do it.
But I hope next year they don't do just sorta like... an animal. I'd love something more abstract ig, like I suggested regional mimics once and while that is a creature, the whole point is they don't look like em. Give me some monster crystals and stone tablets and stuff! That'd be neat! Or regional plants- NOT real life plants, but fantasy made up plants you'd find in Flight Rising, such as a bonsai version of the Starwood Strand trees and a little cactus from Lightning and some really weird eyeball mushrooms from Plague etc etc.
I just want to see more stuff that feels really different instead of a bit samey. So mythological creatures in general would fill that desire for me better this time around. I love birds, I do I adore them, just... so many animals....

I'm hoping it's all gryphons! Animal familiars are my favorites (slinks are my favorite fest set).

Maybe since this gryphon is a cheetah + eagle(?), each elemental gryphon could be a different cat/mammal + bird. That'd make them pretty unique while still all being "gryphons."
