Pygmy gryphon hatchlings get their dual personalities as soon as they hatch. Chaos ensues when there are more than two hatchlings in the same place. It is a cacophony of chirping and screaming, with them jumping around excitedly, especially on merchant tables where fruit can be obtained from. Just as easy as they cause chaos, the hatchlings can calm down. They can keep guard on the same table they previously stole fruit from, assuring no one with commit any theft. They can fly around small pouches of goods, helping those in need of carrying things. And they can calmly sit next to someone reading a book. Moody as they are, they will try to fight creatures bigger than them just for the thrill. Feathers usually go flying when this happens. Although they are not as potent, considering the gryphon's young age, they can still be ground down to powder and used in different tinctures.
Usually found on the islands far west of the Keep, pygmy gryphons are colourful creatures with playful natures. They live to cause havoc, bringing mayhem and panic wherever they go. As big as a pampered pet dog, these gryphons will terrorize merchants by stealing their sweet fruit and destroying everything in their path. They will bite and screech at people, acting in any way opposed to a wise gryphon. When not busy creating pandemonium, the pygmy gryphons laze in quiet places. They rest on scholars' shoulders, silently staring at the books and parchments. They squeak in approval occasionally, especially when pages are turned or lectures are finished as if they can comprehend the written information. Rare tomes must carefully be put away if pygmy gryphons wander into libraries, as these creatures are known for devouring the most precious of titles. Now calm and sweet-natured, the next moment appearing to be in a state of sugar-rush, the pygmy gryphons are the cause of many arguments between healers. Their bipolarity makes them unstable, and many prefer to keep these creatures away from their work. Yet, the fine dust extracted from their feathers is prized in the fight against many diseases.
