Profile FAQ Commissions My Etsy Shop I'm posting my holiday picture and it's not even Thanksgiving, yet. I'm becoming everything that I haaate!
This is my entry for the November/December 2011 Fantasy X-change round. This time around I got Silverflight's gryphon character, Tura.
This year Santa is riding in style. Using gryphons to pull his sleigh is much more economical then reindeer since apparently one gryphon apparently = the strength of nine reindeer.
I wouldn't listen to him, Tura. You don't know what kind of sweatshop he's been running with his elves for the past few centuries. You're probably going to end up being paid in eggnogg.

Except he's immortal. A friend dealt with Death for Nicholas to have eternal life. (Who's dead, if you must know. :T )

Why is it that to me the last statement in you description about Santa, the elves in a sweatshop, and the payment in eggnog, reminds me of the Family Guy Christmas Special, hehe. 
I do think that the that a Gryphon would have the strength of nine reindeer and might even make Santa's trip around the world go faster who knows. Also like instead of an elf helper it is a baby gryphon on the back of Santa's sleigh, I personally quite like the concept myself, makes me wonder who is going to ne pulling the sleigh next a dragon

Fascinating, and my thoughts were more directed to the idea that the one pulling Santa's sleigh was you gryphon character Andromeda, my mistake sorry.

Very nice, it's certainly an upgrade over the Reindeer he currently uses...
