Grython

"Could you tell me a little about it?" you ask, while not completely ignorant of grythons they were not a beast you had had much contact with having only ever seen one which had utterly ignored you while you were questing.

"Certainly sir" the proprietor beamed. "Grythons also referred to as griffins or griffons are creatures composed of the king of the beasts and the king of the birds." He glanced at you briefly

"Go on" you say.

"That is a lion and eagle respectively. Typically it has the head, wings and optionally in this instance sir the forelegs of an eagle and the lower half of a lion, or rather a lioness in this case." He finished looking at you.

"Something I am certain a great warrior and adventurer such as yourself could do easily" He said flatteringly and in a manner suggesting he himself was not to sure on that point either.

He cleared his throat. "Regardless the second is the hippogriff which is half horse half eagle tamer and easier to control . You would not have to prove yourself to her sir. Further she would be a swift mount though weaker than a true grython."

"It is" he added clearly referring to the latter grython. "Almost like Pegasus in a sense." He finally finished gazing at you questioningly clearly it was time for you to choose between the two variants of the mythical beast.
