Editing Azyr (section)

==Azyr's fauna==
Azyr has its own fauna, most of which follows the theme of dragons, felines and eagles (and combinations thereof). They're often described as having a keen intelligence and are associated with lightning or stars. Some major examples are as follows:

===[[Stardrake]]s===

Considered the Children of [[Dracothion]], they usually live in high place, once they die they reincarnate, however, like certain space elves, the coming of Chaos has made the process difficult. There is a pact between their kind and the Stormcasts to fight together against the Ruinous Powers, with the Stardrakes being capable of taking down [[Greater Daemon]]s on their own. Like Stormcast, they return to Azyr after death to be reborn, barring magical nonsense preventing them from doing so.

===[[Dracoth]]s===
Theories are that they may be hatchlings of Stardrakes, while other people say they are a completely different race. Like the Stardrakes, they work together with the Stormcast Eternals to remove the taint of Chaos. Apparently, [[Vandus Hammerhand]], the guy of The Gates of Azyr, was the first one to tame one of them.

===[[Dracoline]]s===
Mountain dwelling reptilian thunder cats that sharpen and charge their claws on [[Celestium]].

===[[Tauralon]]===
Giant flying star goats. Normally found in the void between realms but have made roost around Sigmar's space station, [[Sigmarabulum]]. Their favorite pastime is headbutting dangerous asteroids into people.

===Gryph-creatures===
Because the Mortal Realms are too cool to settle with the common griffon, Azyr boasts an impressive variety of creatures of the griffin family. There are four varieties currently:

*'''[[Griffon]]''': The ol' chicken we all know and love. Frequently employed by the high-ranking members and leaders of the Free Guilds and Collegiate Arcane as mounts. They grow rather big and sometimes can naturally develop a second head at birth.
*'''[[Demigryph]]''': Another returning type from WHFB. Unable to fly, this species is used as mounts by heavy cavalry units, most commonly the Free Guilds' Demigryph Knights.
*'''<s>Kroot Hound</s>[[Gryph-hound]]s''': The good bork-birbs. These are new. Similar in the body to demigrypghs but smaller (like a big dog, give or take) they are employed as attack hounds or watchdogs as they can detect dangers at distance and are rather ferocious. Both the Stormcast Eternals and the Devoted of Sigmar can use them. Look at the one accompanying the Excelsior Warpriest. Surprisingly cute.
*'''[[Gryph-charger]]s''': Another new species. The size of a big demigryph but faster and more agile, with the ability to carry considerable weight. They are perfect for rough terrain and/or scouting. Weirdly, they are the only variant with horns and considering they have hooves instead of paws like the other variants, they actually resemble hippogriffons more than griffons. Usually employed by the Stormcast Eternals' Vanguard Chambers as mounts to Palladors and Lords Aquilor.

===Others===
*'''[[Dragon Ogres|Dragon Ogors]]:''' Former residents of Azyr before Sigmar kicked them out with his no chaos policy, renaming themselves the "Thunderscorn" in memory of this.

*'''[[Stromfels Gargants]]:''' A tribe of Gargants who worshipped the minor Chaos God [[Stromfels]], whose sphere of influence includes sea monsters, pirates, and, most importantly in regards to Azyr as a realm of the Heavens, Storms. Sigmar made them GTFO, same as the Dragon Ogors. Well, maybe. It's said that Hamilcar Bear-Eater spoke on their behalf during the Cleansing of Azyr after Sigmar ordered their fortresses burned. Maybe Hamilcar got them to convert to a Good Storm God instead of an Evil Storm God. This would explain an origin the Mason-Gargants loyal to Sigmar who helped build the many wonders of Azyr.

*'''Mason Gargants:''' These guys helped build many of the larger monuments and megastructures throughout Azyr, perhaps including the Great Gate that protected Azyr from Chaos during the Age of Chaos. Maybe descendants of Sigmarite converts from the Stromfels Gargants?

*'''Storm Gargants:''' Another group of Sigmar-allied Gargants who live in Azyr. These guys serve as guards along the road to the city of Sigmaron.
