Bumblethorn the Reluctant Griffin — Hero of Hiccups and Heart

“I’m not majestic, alright?
I trip over my own wings.
I hiccup when I try to roar.
But —
when the world needs saving,
somehow…
I’m the one who shows up.”

Origin Lore — Myth of Birth

In the ancient Glimmergroves,
where trees giggle and rivers sing off-key,
a nest too small for a griffin cracked open —
and out tumbled Bumblethorn.
Half eagle, half lion, all lovable disaster.
He was supposed to soar.
He waddled instead.
He was supposed to roar.
He sneezed.
But somewhere between every stumble,
he grew a heart so fierce no storm could bend it.

Brand Mythos — Expanded Creation Story

Brand Origin Story

Destiny didn’t choose Bumblethorn —
he sort of tripped into it.
The ancient seers swore a “mighty griffin” would save the day,
and… technically, he is mighty.
If you don’t mind a few pratfalls, accidental heroics, and heroic hiccups along the way.

Expansion Prophecy

As the world worships perfection and impossible heroes,
Bumblethorn’s clumsy courage will remind all:
**You don’t have to be flawless to be legendary.
You just have to show up.**
