From Hippogriffs, in fact... It's mentioned in GoG. I can't recall a fuller version, though it's alluded to in various places, such as in the Zorak Zoran cult writeup, he being one of the culprits. It doesn't come up in GRAY, sadly. What I find odd about this origin is that it _doesn't_ relate birds on the one hand, to griffins, hippogriffs, and horses on the other. Except via King Gryphon's (unacknowledged) descent from Yelm, I suppose.

There's the family of griffins at the Block, though they may just about unique, in Prax.
