The Griffin is a giant beast with the wings of an eagle and the body of a lion that hunts from the sky. It swoops on travellers by day and keeps nests in the Misty Marshes and at Dragonsbreath Tower.
Griffin Lore
Griffins are described as huge creatures that soar high and circle overhead, diving the instant they spot their prey. Within a Griffin's territory there is no place to hide.
How to Beat the Griffin
Fire is the Griffin's great weakness. Its wings and head are its weak points, and hacking at the wings while clinging to its back is a strong way to keep it grounded. Once badly hurt, a Griffin tries to fly away, so the party should be ready to grab hold as it takes off; riding it into the air for the first time earns the achievement The Regriffining. Clinging on drains stamina quickly, so stamina curatives are worth carrying into the fight.
Where to Find the Griffin
Griffins are active during the day. In Vermund, one hunts over the fields outside Vernworth, another circles the Palace Overlook Cape, where it may clash with a Golem, and others haunt the stream by the Misty Marsh crossroads and the Forested Griffin's Nest on the edge of the Misty Marshes. In Battahl, a Griffin nests within the ruins of Dragonsbreath Tower and another has made its lair inside Drabnir's Grotto. They also appear in the Unmoored World.

Griffin Quests
Tale's Beginning picks up after the Arisen has fled across the sea on a Griffin's back, a flight that ended with the Arisen's Pawn companion lost to the Brine.
A Case of Sculptor's Block starts with Klark in Vernworth and leads to the sculptor Fulvio in Bakbattahl, who needs to sketch a living Griffin. At the Wasteland Griffin's Nest the Arisen must draw out the fight for as long as possible while Fulvio works, and turning the Griffin to stone with a Medusa Head holds it still long enough for him to finish.
