These probably wouldn’t show up in Skin Deep just because I haven’t decided if I want monotremes or marsupials to play nice with gryphon rules, but they sure are fun to draw.

Gardeners and farmers would regard the Galah/Echidna as a nightmare.
Imagine a flock of several hundred them descending on your back yard, and wrecking it in search of their buglife prey.
And then there’s the noise. Galahs are not quiet. When a flock of any size shows up, you need industrial grade hearing protection ear muffs.
What about platypus griffins?
Kookaburra/Platypus pygmy gryphon was RQ #14 from last year’s RQs.

Thank you!!! I forgot about that one!!! It’s sooo cute!!
Truth be told, platypi already look like a quimeric amalgamation.
Indeed they do. To the point that when an explorer brought the first one back to England, they thought he was playing an elaborate prank on them by stitching parts of several different animals together!
Oh jeeze, those are cute! That long beak…..
And now I have to ask: How about a Kakapo gryphon? Maybe with something really unlikely, the Australian cryptid commonly referred to as a Black Panther? (Ooh, New Zealand and Australia combined! People may throw rocks at me for asking for that.) After watching the infamous video of the well-known Kakapo ‘Sirroco’ trying to shag a zoologist’s head, I just have to ask.

Omg, a Kakapo griffin would be cute as hell!
Hey Kory,
What would the jellicle cats of the Skin Deep universe think of the recent Cats trailer?
Adorable abominations against magic and science outweigh reason and logic any day!
So what exactly are Gryphon rules?
I think it’s basically “I can make gryphons out of anything that looks really cool as a gryphon.”
Skin Deep wiki on Gryphons.
https://skindeep.fandom.com/wiki/Gryphon
Scroll down to the pics form the Know Your Gryphons sticker sheet
For Common Gryphons (Mary and Tobias), Ophinci (James, Paul, Jim, Colin), and Reverse Gryphons (Sam and Dermot), the rules are quite clearly defined.
Things become a bit looser, for want of a better description, for Uncommon Gryphons (Leah), any raptor and any big cat.
After that, is the Pygmy Gryphons. This is where there are no rules. Any combination of mammal and bird, that can be made to work, is valid. However, there is no clear indication as to whether the resulting gryphon will be sapient.
So any avian feline cross would work -hmmmmm
Bird – cassowary
Cat – hyena
A face as Pretty as a baboon butt and a temperament that would make a honey badger nervous.
How is adoption work in the within the Avalons?
Is there any type of griffin (or monster in general) that you’ve wanted to draw but haven’t had a chance to? (Because now you do!)
Are there Trolls in Skin Deep?
Yes. Alec Hyde.
He has fur, but we can rectify that. *turns on electric razor*
“Trolls” are probably just bugbears anyway.
Are Cuegle canon in Skin Deep?
