The Griffin Kin
14 figures A family: figures with traits in common
Eagle forward, lion aft. The griffin's composite logic propagated into hippogriffs, keythongs and wyverns, a heraldic order as much as a folkloric one, bound by the raptor's endowments of flight and a vision that misses nothing, set on bodies built to act on what they see.
the heraldic composites and wonder bird remainder (wyvern now rides with the winged host remnant) — revived at families 07, carried since
