Striped Gryphon

The striped gryphon is a fierce predator that inhabits the dense, tropical forests of this world. Its powerful tiger's body is perfectly adapted for hunting through the underbrush, while its sharp hawk's talons and beak make it a formidable hunter. The black, brown and orange stripes on its fur provide excellent camouflage in the dappled sunlight of the forest, making it difficult for prey to spot it until it's too late. The striped gryphon is also known for its intelligence and has been observed using tools and working together with other members of its pride to take down larger prey. Some indigenous tribes of the forest hold the striped gryphon in high reverence and believe it to be a spirit animal, imbued with great power and wisdom.
