The King of the Gryphons of Skutagaard is an ancient and wise specimen, belonging to that lineage of ancient winged beasts that communicate verbally like humans. With its magnificent plumage and graceful body, this mighty Gryphon took his name Thrumagogg, ‘storm beak’, in Dwarven, due to its deadly ability to hurl lightning bolts from his jaws. Ancient beasts of infinite knowledge like the king of the gryphons are increasingly rare, and their advice is always valued and honored, the few times they want to utter a word. Even the king of the Dwarves confides in his old friend Thrumagogg about important decisions.
