Griffons are beasts with the body, tail and back legs of a lion, and forelegs, head and wings of an eagle. The feathers of the beast's forepart overlay a soft coat of dark tawny brown hair that covers the creature's rear. The griffon's wingspan is magnificent and possesses enormous power, enabling the griffon to fly and dive much like an eagle, despite the shape of its body. Griffons originate in central Asia and hunt over a vast area stretching from the Gobi Desert to the savannas of East Africa. They are most commonly found in lands around the Aral and east Caspian Seas, and throughout eastern Persia.
