Intoxicated Griffin Faction: IS Race: Beast, Class: None, Size: 2x2, Rarity: Rare Artwork: A Griffin trotting haphazardly with a broken mead barrel on its neck/beak. Flavor-Text: "Dammit! They got into the mead again. Slef - Dwarven Handler" Nora Cost: ?

Immune to the effects of Lumbering unless Grounded. Wandering: At the beginning of your turn this unit moves 2 spaces randomly towards your enemies Shrine or Avatar. This unit cannot spend AP on movement. Manic: At the end of its turn, this champion moves 2 spaces toward the closest enemy champion, and makes an attack against that champion if possible. Swoop: This unit is relocated to the closest non-damaging space to target champion within 5 spaces and makes a melee physical attack at +2 DMG if able.

Opposing units take Physical damage equal to 80% of this unit's DMG. Champions successfully damaged are knocked back 1 space and gain Earthbound for 6 turns. Ability #2 Ability #3 _______________________ I made this because a Drunk Griffin is just a wondrously funny thing to imagine. Wandering, and Manic make for a weird combo. Swoop give some maneuverability. Tail Sweep for flavor. He has a high base dmg, but begins the game with the Drunken penalties, and has no basic attack to make great use of it. Not sure what to do with the Upgrade Paths. I honestly like the thought of Keg Toss's animation having the Griffin thrashing its head back, and forth until the Keg flies off. If it gets the unique animation, then I think Keg Toss should be moved to base replacing Swoop, or Tail Sweep, and putting it on the upgrades. I am honestly smitten with this idea. _______________________ Ideas. Thrash as a possible upgrade? Cleave as a possible upgrade? Ability Consolidation of Drunken, and Flying. Possibly Wandering as well.
Thought about it. However Wandering + Drunken Flight is more amusing. This champ was originally meant to be a parody rune for Wild Griffin. I quickly lost sight of the parody, and started to make him is own rune. I have another idea for 2 Barbarians that are Similar to the Brubaker Brothers. (Sibling Ability, and Similar roles, and Weaponry.) Within the Drunk Theme, and the flavor texts would be. "Wahnt to go clubbin?" "You Axeing me? Idea. Ability Consolidation: Drunken Flight: This unit has Drunken, Flying and 2 ranks of Sentry.
The drunk theme is just prime material for funny runes. The link I posted above started as me wanting to make a stupid rune that fought with a broom and had the sweep ability and it turned into a full concept that ended up semi-decent. I was kind of dissapointed that it ended up as a serious concept when it started as a joke.
