Characteristics

The gryphon is a great grim beast that's close to a goofy Griffin, with a beast-like body and a massively broad wingspan. Their oddly placed eyes make it harder for foes to know who they're going to flap at. They posses crushing claws that they use to grip their prey before gouging them with pointed poking beaks. They're also capable of confounding the party with Fizzle, stopping their capability to cast spells, along with the blistering Bazoom which flings foes far out of battle.
