The Gryphicorn has a birdlike set of tail feathers, feathered wings and light feathers along its body, which is muscled more than a typical horse even though its body resembles one, and its hooves are more massive than a typical unicorn's. The body resembles a horse, all up until the head which resembles that of a hawk but has a horn rising up from its forehead.
