description: Griffons are regal beasts revered as symbols of freedom and strength
  in many cultures. They are physically striking, with the hindquarters of a lion
  and the head, wings, and forelimbs of a great bird of prey—typically an eagle, but
  some instead bear the features of a hawk, falcon, or even osprey or vulture. In
  rare cases, the griffon's hindquarters may resemble those of a different great cat,
  such as a leopard or tiger. The variations seem to conform to the environment in
  which the griffon lives—for instance, the especially rare griffons of northern Avistan
  have the hindquarters of a Grungir lynx and the upper body of a snowy owl—though
  this is not always the case. Some griffons lack wings altogether. These wingless
  griffons, known as alces, result from a rare mutation. Among a clutch of other griffons,
  the alce is typically considered the runt, so few of these offshoots survive their
  fledgling stage. Those alces that do make it to adulthood tend to be tougher, more
  violent, and more aloof than most griffons.
