This has been said. Damn it. Griffin Laguz could have been an awesome thing! I guess the closest thing to a "Griffon Laguz" would be a Branded with Beast and Bird Laguz ancestry.

If looking exactly like a human and not being able to transform qualifies you for being either "griffon" or "Laguz", sure, but I don't think that's how it works.

Mercakete Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 lol; it's true! Kind of surprised at such a Tellius-focused comic. There's nothing heroes-specific about it at all... But it is nice to see this bit of lore being brought to light (Haar Haar; double pun intended; I'm sorry.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also comes out the same day as Altina's trailer, how strange... Blind Leanne and Reyson are super adorable for some reason xD And it looks like Elincia has a new side job at Askr! 2 minutes ago, Aaaaaaah said: We can say that L’Arachel IS the Princess of Light, guiding people in the dark. 😄 Edited November 27, 2019 by DefyingFates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoaFerox Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 This chapter was really adorable, especially the blind herons! Is it true that these birds have particularly bad night vision though? I think I remember watching a nature documentary once that said most larger birds (such as hawks and herons) have relatively good night vision due to having larger eyes compared to small birds.

I don't know about the actual birds, but it's a fact that bird Laguz can't see well in the dark at all. This was clearly stated in the Tellius games. (Also, beast (cat, tiger, lion) Laguz hate, hate fire magic.) In addition, Heron Laguz are built very fragilely, so if they try to fight, they wind up hurting themselves a lot more than they hurt their foes. It's also bad for them on a spiritual level, being so connected to peace and order. Also, Heron Laguz can't eat meat. They can only eat plants. So, again, it kind of doesn't match the actual animal, which subsists off of fish and frogs, primarily... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played the games, but I didn't remember them talking about having trouble seeing in the dark. I guess it might be a bit overshadowed in my memory by them talking about how good Janaff's eyesight is. But I do remember all the other stuff you mentioned, so thinking about it the Laguz don't often match the actual animal much as you say. I should know better than to question the logic behind fantasy people who transform into animals though. Also, it's actually kind of nice that they have something the Beorc do better than the Laguz (at least the Bird tribe), considering the Laguz usually seem to be better at everything else (living longer, flying etc.).

Ikr? And yeah, I can't remember which one it was in, but it played a factor in why the bird tribe couldn't fight at night. (Tactics and all that.) I think that night vision may go in this order, from worst to best: Birds, Beorc, Dragons, Beasts Not sure, though, exactly where dragons place.

It's hard to know where dragons would place on that list, but considering how broken they tend to be placing them above the Beorc seems like a safe bet:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they can travel the Outrealms and breed with the Taguel. Taguel can transform without needing full Taguel blood, so maybe that can help activate the dormant Beast and Bird Laguz genes, although the Branded will probably look like a cross between a rabbit and a Griffon now when transformed.

I can only think of the griffons as mounts a la Awakening class. Although, according to the Gaius-Panne support, Taguel can (at least in theory) serve as mounts. Just...they don't want to since it's demeaning. Also, "breed with the Taguel" eh? Well, your only options are Panne and Yarne since everyone else is extinct. Good luck getting them to agree to that.
