We have all played enough fantasy games at this point to know what a gryphon is. It’s what happens when a bird and a cat love each other very much, something else happens, and then you get what amounts to an enormous cat with flight. So it’s painful, in other words. Crowfall, of course, has more to say about its own take on this fantasy staple, helped along by its steadily corrupting Hunger that makes everything become a little more… nasty as time goes by.
Of course, the fiction in this particular case is more about what happens when a scouting party accidentally stumbles into a gryphon’s roost due to an unexpected storm, but it still gives a look at the worlds and creatures populating the world. And it even has a happy ending, so that’s nice. Check it out if you’d like a look at what it’s like to live in a world where massive cat-bird hybrids occasionally show up to ruin your night.
