Baby Gryphon

The Baby Gryphon is a infant pink lion headed dragon-like creature featured in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

The Baby Gryphon hatched out of an egg which had for two hundred years been mistaked for a jewel and known as the Jewel of Protection. It had been protected by inhabitants of Chandor Village in the so called Shrine of the Gryphon, after being left their by it's mother, the legendary Gryphon.

Village elder Galen knew that if anything happened to the Jewel, the Gryphon would swiftly return to the village and curse it. When Trap Jaw and Beast Man snuck into the village and broke into the shrine to take the Jewel, the curse of the Gryphon soon proved to be more than just a legend.

The Evil Warriors hid the Jewel in the gardens of the Royal Palace in nearby Eternos, where it was found by a young page named Thad. After several adventures, the jewel fell into a river and began to hatch. It turned out to have contained a Baby Gryphon for all these years. Both the baby and it's parents were afraid of the water, but brave Thad took it upon himself to dive into the water and reuinte the two Gryphons, who happely departed shortly afterwards.
