A Fire Griffin is a bird crossed with a canine, and has a large, fluffy tail. They are called Fire Griffins because the first one of these species found was the colours of flames. Over time, people discovered that they also breathed fire to help them a lot in their lives. They also use their tails to enable them to climb trees, by curling the tail around the tree as they go up. When escaping a predator, they can't always start flying fast, so this is why they have been adapted to both climb and fly. Fire Griffins have a special sack in their throat which lets them breathe fire. They cannot swim, or the sack will get full of water and they will lose their fire for life.
Fire Griffins are known to be a very friendly species, and are the ideal pet. They are big enough to ride, reaching sizes of Thoroughbred racing horses. Most Griffins also adore mangoes!
This is Juarez, my beloved new Fire Griffin <3 I ended up basing her on a bluebird, and I'm actually quite pleased with the outcome! c:
She is looking for friends, too! :D
