Written by Crafty_Dm

Although Gryphons are commonly found in the more rugged regions of Evermyst Twilight Gryphons can be found along rocky coastlines of Evermsyt this is where they build their Nests. They hunt during Twilight hours when their golden wings glisten like the twilight and blend with the reflections on the top of the waters as the sun sets. They are known to hunt in packs, one often flying high and serving as a distraction while the rest skim the surface of the ocean in Twilight's reflection looking to strike on their prey. They have been known to pluck unwitting Mariners from their ships or attack in a coordinated fashion as to disable a ship's sails.
