“Unlike Equestrian Ponies, it’s not so obvious,” Gilda answered. “Sky-griffins like me and Fortrakt, you’ll notice that we have a thicker coat and feathers. Our wings are also pretty large and eyesight is also much better. We basically fly faster and longer and we can effectively use crossbows. Earth-griffins have bulkier muscles and can run faster and longer on the ground. They also tend to carry heavier materials like shields and war hammers. Mage griffins… well, I guess the best way to know if they are mage griffins is if they are carrying staves. One of their unique characteristics is that they can be both a sky- and an earth-griffin.”
