Tag As FavoriteComment		The daggerbeak gryphon (Smilorostrum ingens) is to Ararenian gryphons what sabretooth cats were to Earth felines. This big and powerful gryphon uses its sharp beak to dispose of its prey quickly by severing the jugular vein. Its main prey animals are the spotted unicorn and the ramhead antilope. It lives and hunts in pairs and mates for life.

Looks like a giant wolflike bunglebird... These should exist on specworld.

Oh my God- everybody's got this crazy "History of the Griffin" thing going on! Mine is completly different and far less logical, so it's not even coming out. I love the detail on the picture, I wish I could draw like that, and I won't ask any questions about it! Geeze!

Oh, WOW! That is REALLY incredible! I have a whole evolutionary history for my creatures as well, and this gryphon is really well rendered! Mine evolved from large Reptilian ancestors and still retain some reptilian qualities. This beast is totally believable!

this is the perfect predator!!!

He’s gorgeous, but I wouldn’t call it the perfect predator.... The neck looks vulnerable enough and I doubt he’d be able to have a lot of success catching airborn prey. Anyways, he’s beautifully drawn, and I certainly wouldn’t want to meet him in any dark alleys. Or crowed streets. Or anywhere for that matter. x3 The muscling is exquisit, and it’s obvious you’ve looked at fur patterns quite a bit and have a firm grasp on them. =D

You did a hell of a work with those details, especially the hair. I love it
