I've been dabbling in Gryphons for many years now, but I noticed a severe lack of adorable gryphon plushies available to me, so I created Samson! An extremely soft and huggable little pal.
In addition to the plush, I've designed a grand gryphon tapestry, coordinating pins, keychains, and more!
Samson is a young gryphon, hoping to become big and strong so that he can be a protector of good things!
Why Gryphons?
In heraldry, a gryphon represents strength, courage, and leadership and is shown on various family and region coat-of-arms and flags. The heraldic gryphon is typically depicted as an animal with the body of a lion, ears, and an eagles head and claws.
To me personally, the symbol of the gryphon is extremely important. As you may know, I also use a gryphon to represent myself in the furry fandom. Besides enjoying the aesthetics of birds combined with that of powerful big cats, I see this mythical animal as a representation of having a multifaceted existence and being a defender of those who may not be able to protect themselves.

Please note: if you have not filled out your survey or completed your payments by May when fulfillment beings, you WILL BE DROPPED from the project and any amount charged will be considered "coin for the cause". I have been extremely lenient about this for previous projects, with a couple stragglers filling out their surveys or finally completing payment over a year later, which are far too difficult for me to fulfill or plan for as a small business.
