Might be a dumb question, but who's that raven-ey gryphon creature that shows up in some of the size charts with Griffin and Pegasus? I don't think I've seen it anyplace else, even when I poked around on your portfolio site. Is there a story there?
Her name's Zivatar (I recently switched up her name and preferred gender, in case anyone finds the old ref sheet)
She's an example of a lesser known spirit (and it seems I'm doing a good job at keeping it that way lol). She has no human form, and her interest in interacting with people is lukewarm. From a glance, one would probably not be able to tell that she's bonded to her human companion, Mahir (another name change). She's also an example of a gryphon spirit. There are several Griffin-like spirits, many alive and thriving. This is in contrast to Pegasus, who is not doing too great, and the rest of the Pegasus-like spirits have probably bit the dust before humankind even popped into existence. There's just something about their temperament that has gryphons cope much better with permanent spirithood. Unlike Griffin, Zivatar is solitary. On the rare occasion that people spot her, she's either swimming in storm clouds, taunting lightning, relaxing at a remote shrine, or eating up fresh human remains that the aftermath of violent human conflicts offer. She's not keen on coddling Mahir, or even giving him a ride - he has to make do with a horse -, but she'd dislike it if he perished prematurely. She's mildly invested in finding out how his personal journeys will end.
She's not a fan of Griffin, but she crosses paths with Pegasus relatively often, due to their shared interest in experiencing violently stormy weather. Neither of them like chit-chat, they typically hang out without saying anything to each other for hours on end.
