An assortment of Griffolk villagers. As cubs they start out with spotted down, then slowly grow manes as they enter into adulthood. Manes are present in both sexes and it can be hard to tell the two apart. The only way to tell visually being that females end up slightly taller and their plumage a bit more vibrant. Both sexes rear hatchlings and provide food. They come in many colors, usually soft, warm pastels, but cooler variations in plumage aren’t uncommon. Adults often adorn themselves with bits of a gem-like coral they find in the sea and fashion into jewelry or tools. Though omnivorous, their staple food is the abundance of fish in Vylk’s reefs. The majority of the island’s animals and plants don’t readily lend themselves to domestication, thus they have become seafarers.
