Sprites and Descriptions
(Regular on top, polytype below.)

Alpha: A speckled tan egg is partially buried in the terrain.

Beta: A tiny baby bird hatched from the egg - it appears to resemble a griffin.

Delta: A tiny baby bird hatched from the egg - it appears to resemble a griffin. Now that the creature has grown larger, it's clear that it is not a griffin, but there is a striking resemblance. It likes to run and kicks up huge clouds of sand behind it when it does so.

Omega: Sand Dashers are very swift desert dwellers and are distantly related to griffins. They are social creatures and live in tight knit communities called parcels. While they possess no need for flight, their bones are hollow, like a birds, and this permits them to develop as much speed as possible. Their short claws provide traction while running, and they are capable of kicking up sand to approximately ten yards to deter predators. Sand Dashers' reflexes are very swift as well, and they are able to snap up all manners of insects while running. Their preferred meals, however, are cacti, which they rip apart with their scaly front feet.
