Creature Guide
Fantasy CreaturesOverview
The Griffin is a majestic flying creature in ARK: Survival Evolved, originally from the Ragnarok DLC. This mythical beast combines the front half of an eagle with the back half of a lion, creating a powerful land and air predator. Tamed Griffins are excellent mounts for duo exploration, featuring a unique two-seat system allowing a passenger to fire weapons while the rider controls movement.
Dossier
Wild
Gryphon Magnificum is undoubtedly a sight to behold. Many ancient myths tell of various depictions of the Griffin over the ages, but what is never disputed is its majestic and mysterious nature. With the front half of an eagle and the back half of a lion, it is as if these two creatures somehow fused together to form a superior land and air predator.
Domesticated
The idea of pacifying such a beast is nothing to scoff at. Its highly independent nature and disinterest with interacting with humans combined with its power and strength make the Griffin a challenge to domesticate. However, there have been those who are fearless enough to attempt and succeed at this miraculous feat. Once tamed, riding atop a Griffin along with a tribemate passenger, dashing through the air at high speed, is a prize in and of itself.
