Description:	For thousands of years, the hybrid of eagle and lion, called griffon, has been a symbol of nobility, grace, and especially, power. All these qualities and more exude from the beast that you now behold. Born hundreds of years previous, Dannik is a rare breed among already rare creatures: a giant gryphon. He stands as a man would, on his hindpaws. The toes of the soft-furred, white-golden footpaws are adorned with a toe ring on each's second digit. The giant's legs and thighs are adequately-muscled, without being obscenely large. All he wears is a simple, immaculate-seeming toga, held around his form with a red sash. His chest seems quite broad indeed; feathered now, too-starting at his sternum. From the shoulders to his elbows he is feathered, and from the elbow to his hands he sports scaly arms, ending in wicked taloned fingers. His neck is a bit longer than one would expect; a bulge travels down it as he idly swallows excess saliva. His head is eagle-like, with sharp predatory avian eyes gazing into the sky, a hooked beak, and a streamlined series of long head-plumage. [A few (okay, that's a lie; a lot of them) words about the giant's interior. Starting with the mouth: He possesses no true teeth. When inside Dannik's maw, one sees that he only has rudimentary ridges in his beak, for speech purposes only. Moving a little bit more down the digestive tract: Dannik has two digestive chambers, because of his lack of teeth. The first that all his meals enter is the gizzard, a fleshy sac that haelps to do what normal teeth also accomplish: processing the food into digestible form. It can be voluntarily emptied if needed, or quelled altogether. It is usually filled with boulders of substantial size, or other debris needed to aid in the grinding of food--as well as, literally, anything Dannik can swallow. Next is the stomach, and I think we all know what happens there: acidic digestion. Again, the stomach can be indefinitely suppressed. Then there's the small and large intestines, we all know that story, too.] Please ask me in a private message about my current preferences; for the most part I'm a fairly accepting guy, just don't push things on me and we'll get along excellently. ;
