#skandranon

Skandranon is an eagle-type gryphon who was created by the Mage of Silence, Urtho, and who fought for him during the Mage Wars. Skandranon is dramatic and flashy, loves to snark and banter, and is a highly effective fighter and skilled flier who studied choreography and incorporated what he learned into his flying stunts. While he had barred markings on his feathers, he preferred to dye his feathers black, which led to him being nicknamed the Black Gryphon.

Eventually, he became a sort of leader and spokesperson for the gryphons in matters concerning all of their kind, and he also strove to find a way for his kind to be able to reproduce naturally rather than simply being the creations of mages, and thus bound to their creators.

At one point, a magical explosion ends up bleaching his feathers white, and he instead becomes known as the White Gryphon. A name that is also bestowed upon a town he helps to found.

The last image is a Gryphon by the name of Skandranon, from the books ‘The Black Gryphon’ and ‘The White Gryphon’, though he’s also a character in ‘The Silver Gryphon’. All by Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon.

At the request of my editing assistant, NeoAnton, we're talking about who has made the most and least amount of progress as a character throughout Friendship is Magic.  Countess Marie Rose was nice enough to join us and put in her input.

Brawny:  “Did you all forget about Skan?  He’s been in several videos, my first collaboration partner and friend in the brony fandom.  Furthermore, if you buy cheap camera equipment, it will be more likely to malfunction with heavy use or in extreme conditions - of which I often find myself in both.”
