The Griffon Place

Postby Nialler. » Mon Aug 13, 2012 12:27 am

Welcome


Hello and Welcome to The Griffin Place (TGP). Now, just to get something straight, 'Griffon' is not the wrong spelling. Thie majestic creature can be spelt as Griffin,Griffon or Gryphon. I call it a 'Griffon'.


Griffin/Griffon/Gryphon


The griffon is a mythological creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. It has the forelegs of an eagle with talons. They have the hindquarters of a lion. They were considered divine because the lion is the king of the beasts and the eagle is the king of birds. They are guardians of the divine. The eagle head is given prominent ears (lion ears) and they can be feathered.
In medieval lore, Stephen Scotus writes that griffons are monogamous. This means that they only had one mate. If their mate died, the other would continue to live without any other mate. St. Hildegard of Bingen explains how griffon mothers lay eggs. The female would fly around looking for a cave. The cave had to have a narrow entrance but with a lot of room inside. This entrance would protect the eggs from the elements. Once the mother found a decent nest, she would venture in and lay three eggs and guard them with her life.


That is how they are known. But did you know these creatures are great pets? They will protect you, they love to cuddle and you can even ride on them! Now, Normally Griffons only come in the one normal colour. But not here. Here Griffons are bred to be all sorts of colours!


Rules


1. I want to let you know that these are not my lines!
2. Use your Griffon, don't just let it sit there. I am opening a roleplay soon. Use it as a Fursona.
3. I am the only artist for now.

Adopting a Griffon


Adopting a Griffon is an easy process. You just click on the Griffon (Which is situated under the main image) and follow the instructions on that page. You can choose what gender,name and it's background story. Please if you adopt a Griffon use it!


Breeding


Yes you can breed your Griffons! But Griffons mate for life, so choose your Griffons mate wisely. All you do is fill out the breeding form, and I make you a griffon that combines the parents colouring! I know a baby griffon editable so yeah.
