I decided to finish this before I procrastinated it to the last minute, but I probably still should have been working on commissions
Oops

My entry to Monrroe 's creature design contest!
Idk why I went so in-depth with it, I guess I just wanted to flesh these guys out as a species
So enjoy these kind of almost not-griffins!

Also please excuse any typos/errors/terrible handwriting on the image

Height: about 4 feet at the shoulders. Fairly tall for a flying animal, but they are very slim.
Weight: most are about 100 pounds. Seagras are extremely lean, and some of their larger bones are hollow like birds'.
Diet: seagras' main food source is fish, which they catch with their talons. Small to medium sized mammals such as rabbits, raccoons, and young deer are also common items on their diet, but it is rare for them to go after any large game, such as moose or elk.
Habitat: Seagras live by the ocean on cool, rocky shores in areas like the Pacific Northwest. Only a few live in nearby coniferous forests, since flying between trees is difficult for a large animal, and their brighter colors usually expose them to prey animals besides their main diet of fish. That being so, it is extremely rare to find a seagra very far from a large source of water, such as a lake, river, or the ocean. Other varieties inhabit other areas and have different traits, but the coastal species is the most common.
Behavior: for the most part, seagras live solitary lives. Oddly enough, however, they mate for life, with pairs usually sharing a common territory and meeting up during breeding season and the first few weeks of rearing cubs. After that most pairs split up for the rest of the year, with only the female caring for 1-3 cubs, but males have sometimes been observed staying with their offspring until maturity. Besides their mates, seagras are extremely territorial, and are quick to defend their partners and territories from intruders. Fights are somewhat rare, being that most unfriendly confrontations consist of threatening aerial displays, but occasionally conflicts have been known to be fatal. Seagras rarely tolerate other predators in their territory, and will often attempt to drive out wolves, bears, and even humans.

And as a side note I plan to make this an official open species sort of thing, but for now please don't make any seagra characters
But don't worry, if you want to make one that time will eventually come

DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE
