“As when a Gryphon through the wilderness,<br>
With winged course, o’er hill and moory dale,<br>
Pursues the Arimaspian who by stealth<br>
Hath from his wakeful custody purloined<br>
His guarded gold.”<br>
-Milton, _Paradise Lost_, Book II. 1667.}}

==Useful Info==
'''Griffons''' are large flying natural monsters, similar to [[hippogriff]]s but with stronger attacks and more [[HP]]. They are found in the later portions of [[the Dungeon]], [[the Lair]], and [[the Shoals]].

==Tips & Tricks==
By the time you face them, most melee characters should have little difficulty soaking their damage output. Despite their decent HP, they have no resistances and low defenses, so casters should have no trouble keeping them at bay. [[Airstrike]] is particularly effective.

==History==
Griffons were removed in [[0.19]].
