Personality

Keenbeak is big and proud of it. He loves to show off his size and strength, and gets a bit sulky around stronger creatures. He's also inquisitive and brave, and generally friendly. Around enemies he is as fierce as a lion... or maybe as fierce as a lion and an eagle put together.

Background

Keenbeak doesn't know quite how he reached his huge size. Maybe it was that time he scavenged some meat from a dead dragon. Or that weird-tasting water from the spring with really strange plants next to it. Or the glowing rock he touched that burned his talon. Whatever the case, he's been larger than the average griffon most of his life, and has simply grown even larger with time.

He lived a pretty average griffon life, except for hunting larger prey. He got a mate, got a nest, and hunted, and if he kept sticking his beak into things that caught his curiosity... well, it'd worked out for him so far.

So it was a particular shock when he came back to his nest after a successful hunting trip to find a horde of undead around it... including his zombified mate. In a rage he attacked, but was nearly overwhelmed, and so was forced to flee.

Somehow he found his way to the Haven, where he has settled and become a fierce warrior against the undead who breach the boundaries. He lairs in a large aerie with a number of other avian monsters--giant eagles, a hieracosphinx, and a pair of hippogriffs. Together they fly to trouble spots and dive on said trouble, talons outstretched. Otherwise they hunt and live in uncomfortable proximity.

Appearance

Keenbeak stands about 10' tall at the shoulder and over 18' long from beak to the base of his tail. His hindquarters are leonine, and his forequarters resemble a martial eagle.
