A related cousin to the extinct species of the Griffin, these are large Lion/Horse hybrid creatures, most commonly found in the far western regions of the continent of Tanzanite, notably the Moghra prairies and the Elyorian deserts, so the more warm and dry climates basically.

Their massive sizes make them an attractive species for merchants and cargo shippers, they are often domesticated to carry goods and act as transport for several groups, from small caravans and major factions alike. They’re not that well suited for combat however, so it’s often advised to either bring some other mount that’s more suited for combat as backup, or else make sure your prepared to defend both yourself and your mount in the event of a battle.

Note that their eyes are more akin to an actual Equines eye type, but that doesn’t show in the artwork given it was originally a sketch.

This is also a joint creature made both by myself and a friend I knew, though that’s way too long to get into here.
