"The Lesser Griffin is a large flying predator native to High Rock, Hammerfell and Skyrim, and said to be especially prevalent in Craglorn. It looks like a combination of a ferocious lion and a giant eagle, usually inhabiting highlands and building its nests on mountain ridges inaccessible to intruders, but some can be seen preying on livestock in low-lying pastures, returning to the mountains after capturing their prey.
The Griffin can attack large mammals and is a highly territorial creature that fiercely defends its hunting territories. When the first settlers appeared and trade routes expanded, Griffins were known to attack settlers and traders in defense of their territory.
Griffins are tough opponents and their strength should not be underestimated. Headstrong and aggressive, they make deadly use of their ability to fly during combat, attacking their enemies and throwing them to the ground, then tearing them to pieces with their claws and beak. The tail works like a whip, which is also dangerous.
They are the larger cousins of the Gryphons of Summerset Isles and the Hippogriffs of Valenwood, but they are much less honorable, intelligent and noble than the latter two, being cataloged with the adjective "Lesser" precisely due to this fact, and not the lack of size or power.
Archgriffins are particularly dangerous Lesser Griffins and are generally reddish in color, but they are also rarer encounters. Nonetheless, Lesser Griffins are much smaller than a dragon and considerably weaker as well, however they should not be underestimated."

So far no incompatibilities have been found between this mod and other mods.
(OBS- If by chance when installing several of Mihail's mods at the same time you are asked about files overwriting those of other Mihail mods or other authors mods, don't worry because they are just the same files shared between mods. I recommend that on these occasions always give preference to the files contained in my mods, and among mine always give preference to the mod you are installing last.)
The Mihail Monsters and Animals series aims to create and make available to the community the most complete set of creatures for TES 5: Skyrim, implemented in an immersive and unique way, with respect to the pillars of lore. Instead of pathetically just throwing models and textures in the game reusing 100% vanilla mechanics, the creatures made by Mihail have uniqueness and extreme zeal in their idealization and implementation, which will provide you with an experience that you have never had before in this area.
