Description

People from local tribes call this forest Spying Roots and it got this name because of a special kind of griffins living there. The griffins’ ancestors lost their ability to fly ages and ages ago so the creatures still have reduced wings but they are tiny, covered with long thin fur instead of feathers and are almost useless. That’s why Kiwi griffins don’t weave nests and prefer digging large burrows right under thick elder trees where they hide and rest in daytime. As such burrows overgrow with grass, moss and lichen quite fast, it looks so natural that seems like two round eyes glowing in the dark of roots belong to a tree. When the night comes, the creatures go out in search for some food like insects, fruits or worms. Their cat curiosity often leads them out of the forest towards human houses but there is no danger for them: Kiwi griffins are taken for sacred animals there so people usually leave some treatment for such guests on their doorsteps.
