Wingless griffons, known as alces, result from a rare mutation. Among a clutch of winged griffons, the alce is typically considered the runt, so alces are rarely seen on their own in the wild, though they're often intentionally bred in captivity as relatively affordable exotic mounts. Griffons are regal beasts revered as symbols of freedom and strength in many cultures.

Abilities

Pounce — The alce Strides and makes a talon Strike at the end of that movement. If the alce began this action Hidden, it remains hidden until after the attack.
Regal Shriek (auditory, emotion, fear, mental) — The alce unleashes a shriek that transitions into a terrifying roar. Each creature in a 60-foot emanation must attempt a DC 20 Will save. Regardless of the result, creatures are temporarily immune to all griffons' Regal Shrieks for 10 minutes.
