Brightwing

Brightwing was a female griffon, linked to the warmage Aoth Fezim.

Description
Brightwing is 9 feet (2.7 meters) long. Like all griffons, she had a lion's body and the wings, forelegs, and head of an eagle. She had scarlet eyes.

She was named Brightwing because even as a cub her feathers had been a lighter shade of gold than normal. Though her beak and throat were not made for articulating human speech, she could communicate with Aoth, who understood her clacks and squawks. Aoth magically enhanced her stamina and intelligence, making her a formidable foe. Brightwing loved horseflesh for feed.

History
Brightwing almost died in 1384 DR during the war of Thay, impaled by the sword of one of Szass Tam's undead champions.
