I’ve done enough of these bat-gryphons that I think they probably qualify as their own species now. Like a hippogryph is basically a horse gryphon but they’re called something else. Chiropteryph?

Would love to see a chiropteryph sticker series. They are cuties.
Chiropteryph gets my vote! And they can be called Chiros or Chirrios (“cheerios”) for short :D
The next question: are they a sapient species like opicini (spelling?) or animals like Stanley?
Do perytons and deer base gryphons (Hippogryphs?) ever get mistaken for each other? Also what would be the smallest combo of critters that could still be a sentient gryphon?
I like Chiropteryph! I think the kakapo one would be cool in partial human form with their extra limbs, like they have the batty arms but also dinky little bird wings XD
As far as the ‘smallest potentially sapient gryphon’ question, uncommon gryphons (like Leah) have to be a cat and a raptor, so the smallest combo of those would probably be a black-footed cat/pygmy falcon. Black-footed cats are a little smaller than the average housecat, and pygmy falcons are only about 8 inches long.
Whether or not that combo actually exists is up to Kory, obviously, but it’d definitely be a very teeny tiny gryphon.

Omg Yesssss! I love the awkward baby! And thinking of them in midform makes me squee!
For some reason when I think of a bat-gryphon. The word Batyon (pronounced Baton) comes springing to the front of my thoughts.
Spinning flips of dazzling somersaults, oh what a glorious sight that would be.
Oh, are we throwin’ animals into the Gryphon-ator? How ’bout a… pin-tailed whydah and striped hyena gryphon? Both are African in origin~
My favorite non-traditional gryphon will always be the Cheetah/Peregrine Falcon, because SPEED
I am so down for a chiropteryph sticker series
I love the bat gryphons/chiropteryphs.
