Hey, thank you! 8D Glad you like it!
Actually, I'm not ;P I'm a regular gryphon, just with a scaley tail. In the old greek/egyptian myths, sometimes gryphons with snake/dragon tails would show up. They were regular grphons, just with some kind of genetic mutation.
Since there's no real name for those mutations, I just call myself a Pseudogriff ;D There's not alot of info out there on them, but here's some if you're interested:
"There was even an imaginary creature called the griffin-dragon who had the tail of a dragon or a snake."
From: http://thanasis.com/griffin.htm
"At times, it is portrayed with a long snake-like tail."
From: http://monsters.monstrous.com/griffins.htm
"The Egyptian text stated the tail of the griffin to be a snake."
From: http://books.google.com/books?id=0p.....;hl=en#PPA5,M1
That last one is really interesting.
