Finally got around to making a proper ref for him! I hate working with fur like that in large images. It's a bitch to clean around, but thankfully he only has 2 fur/feather colors. Originally (as in everything before this image lol) he had a different color for his inner ears and a slightly different color for his wings, but I decided to reuse his 2 main fur colors.

A few things to note that didn't seem to fit on the image:

• He was once human. Similar case to Salamander, he died and because of reasons, he's an elemental (Wind and Air) now. Being an elemental, he can speak a language shared by those of many mancy proficiencies, such as elemental pyromancers, geomancers, hydromancers, etc.
• Aeromancy is the closest thing I can find to what he does. He practices control of wind and air pressure.
• He is of German (raised) and Haitian (genetic) descent. Speaks with a German accent.
• There's a powered-up version of this form with runes on it that almost never gets used, seen here i.imgur.com/zYSQAMm.jpg
• He has quite an alpha personality. Nature born leader, stubborn, confident. Ambivert bordering on introvert.
• Once had a semi-relationship fling with a tigress.
• His name comes from the fact that he was known as a human associated with gryphons, so they just called him Griffon. (It was back when I only spelled it griffon, but I've since switched to gryphon for the species.) He has abandoned his real name. Whenever I need a first and last name, his name is Wind Griffon.
• Being part eagle and part lion, he has a strong prey drive and keen senses. Both cats and raptors have crazy good sight. His eyes are reflective.
• I have a Beast Mastery hunter and Wind Walker (formerly Fistweaver) monk in WoW modeled after him. Using the Discovery leather transmog and Gryphon Mail mail transmog sets.
• Species name can be any spelling, but his actual name is always spelled like in the image.
• The "feather fur" thing shows what covers his eagle half. It's like a fluffy down feather, but kinda more like fur than down. Imagine semi-soft, bristle fur attached to a quill. It's thick and sturdy and helps keep him warm.
• He dwells in the mountains and thrives off cold temperatures, deer, rabbits, and solitude.
