Their bodies resembled the humans but shiny scales covered their forearms and feet, while their fingers and toes had hidden sharp claws.

Their wings vary in color, distinguishing their profession from birth.

The white-winged human griffins, wielding supernatural might were Vanguard Knights. Next in line in the army were the agile grey winged, possessing half of the white's abilities.

Red-winged were born mages.

Yellow-winged had profound intellects and assigned in political ranks.

Black-winged filled other jobs like miners, office clerk, and others.

Though designated in distinct positions, discrimination did not exist.

While the king bore the countenance of an eagle, his body had the shape of a lion. However, what was terrifying was that he could transform into a human or a Griffin in an instant.

The birth of a Griffin king remained a mystery. Only one successor was born from any family to undergo the tutelage of its predecessor.
