What is a Lupragryph?
A lupragryph is a type of gryphon, pronounced: Loop-Raw-Griff
Instead of the traditional lion-bird gryphon, they are a combination of otter, wolf, and buzzard. Their species name combines the Latin terms for the Eurasian Otter (Lutra lutra) and Eurasian Wolf (Canis lupus lupus) to produce 'lupra', followed by the common 'gryph' suffix for gryphons. While not contributing to the name, their avian ancestry comes from the common buzzard (Buteo buteo).
Typically sporting a canine (puppy-like) mentality, watch out for that thick otter tail wagging back and forth!
