Gryphon Code
a.k.a. GryphCode, Gryphon's Guild Code
Date: (Earliest known usage)
Tags: #character, #furry
The Gryphon Code is meant for “Gryphs” to self-describe their gryphon characters. Though it does not cite inspirations, it is structurally very similar to Dragon Code.
Versions hosted on GeoCities were not numbered or named, but appear to be consistent. Minor changes were made in late 1999.
