In their natural state, Mogriffs look like thin gargoyles. They are muscular and have a hunched over posture. Notable features include leathery wings, a long snout with rows of sharp teeth, and talons. Skin coloration ranges from swampy greens, to dirty browns, to dark yellow. A Mogriff's eyes are yellow, and reflect light like those of a dog. Mogriffs also appear to be sapient, and have demonstrated the ability to speak with some difficulty, and the ability to comprehensively wield Meridianite weaponry. Mogriffs' most prominent feature is their shape-shifting ability.
