The Royal Narnian Aerial Guard was, admittedly, mostly comprised of birds of prey; even so, the Gryphon Aerial Corps tended to look on their smaller brethren as feathered, flying mascots rather than a true fighting force... until the harpies came.

Old Edwina herself, Narnia’s First Fighting Goose, trumpeted alarm and led the charge, buffeting the foul harpies with her wings, striking with her beak, and yelling obscenities fit to make a Hummingbird blush.

The geese flew in vicious, V-shaped trios and cut the opposing onslaught into ribbons; harried from above, the harpies were easy pickings for the archers below — and by the time the Gryphon corps arrived, the Goose Guard had returned to roost, Edwina in the lead, honking quietly in satisfaction.
