Etymology[edit]

  • The Japanese name for the monster references Jamirus, one of the four Dread Fiends to the Archfiend Mortamor. Whether there is a direct relation between the dark gryphon species and Jamirus is up to the player's imagination.
The name change for the overseas versions of VIII was likely made due to there being no international release for VI at the time, and thus the vast majority of players would not understand the reference to the series' most infamous griffin.
