Chysyrogriff (FESOM)

The Chysyrogriff is a flying creature introduced in Fire Emblem and the Seal of Memories. It is used as a flying mount, particularly by the _, and very rarely by P_ (the humans in the series).

Biology
A Chysyrogriff is a large, flying creature with four limbs. Its two large and tremendously powerful wings also perform the function of forelegs in its slow ground movement; it does not fold its wings into or along its body either at rest or at stand-by. It also has two hind legs, but, unlike a bird, it cannot stand on its hind legs alone, requiring at least one of each a wing and a hind leg be on the ground to propel itself.

The creature has a head almost but not quite continuous with its neck, which extends past its breast and back akin to a falcon's.

A chysyrogriff is largely white in color.

One particular aspect of chysyrogriff's biology is quite unlike that of any other known animal. Unlike, say, a human, who has his organs and muscles in the center of his mass protected in a general housing and under layers of skin, a chysyrogriff has many of its wiring organ tracts lined with their own system of powerful muscles and skin. This makes the center of its body seem like a bunch of sturdy wires. These wiry elements are resistant to some significantly hard pulling (and also the pressures of weights in gravity and the force of some impact), and the Averap Griff knights who employ the chysyrogriff as a mount typically fasten themselves in and through these wiry elements.

Pu & Averap Interaction

The Averap themselves have the ability to fly; this perhaps make them more fearless warriors of the sky compared to Pu_.

"Backward Knight" "Pair of Eyes" A "Backward knight" is a knight who does not control his chysyrogriff mount in the main; the chysyrogriff is sufficiently trained such that it has an idea of what is and isn't a target on a mission (for instance, anything in the air that isn't trailing a certain banner may be deemed hostile and a target). The Backward knight instead clings to the body of the chrysyrogriff facing backwards, and it issues commands primarily if evasion is needed.

A "Pair of Eyes" is when 2 Averap are assigned to a single Chrysyrogriff. Usually one of the assigned warriors performs the function of a backward knight.

A "Dual Unit" is the result of perfect compatibility and training between a chysyrogriff and its master. The Chysyrogriff is trained to fight on its own, and, from a bit of distance and remove, its master can usually direct it as needed. The master tends to be someone regarded in combat in his own right, but the chysyrogriff due to its bond and its training is also prepared to spring to its masters rescue if he is overwhelmed.
