Notes Carmanian griffins prefer to attack by surprise, striking from shadows or cover, augmenting their first attack with their Ambush ability. Although they tend to live in smaller flocks than their aquiline counterparts, and do not form coordinated packs, they sometimes attack as a mob. Combat tactics are otherwise the same as for true griffins. Owl-lions appear similar to griffins. However, they are smaller, with sleek bod- ies resembling those of puma, and the heads, forequarters, and forelimbs of gray-feathered owls. Males have manes of feathers around their heads, rather than hair. Owl-lions are largely confined to the hills and mountains of central Carmania, but are also found in northern Talastar and the Gray Mountains. Prior to the Syndics’ Ban they were known in Charg. They are nocturnal, and shelter in secluded nests during the day. Otherwise, they are similar to true griffins in most of their habits; although they show no particular love for horse meat, they will kill (but not eat) any owl or puma that they find.
