A Griffin is a hybrid species of fauna found on the Boiling Isles. It is likely the inspiration for the mythological depictions of griffins in the Human Realm.
Appearance[]
Griffins resemble their mythological counterparts, but instead of possessing the forequarters of an eagle and the hindquarters of a lion, griffins on the Boiling Isles have a vague feline build with the front half resembling pigeons. They are as large as a house and can spew cascades of spiders from their mouths (a trait Luz postulated prior to her arrival). Some griffins are kept by schools, such as Hexside, as mascots.
Background[]
Luz and Eda fly alongside one in "A Lying Witch and a Warden", where the spider-spewing is confirmed to be a trait of theirs. A griffin grabs Skara as she runs toward a Grudgby ball in "Something Ventured, Someone Framed".
In "The First Day", a juvenile griffin named Puddles appears and serves as Viney's medical assistant.

Trivia[]
- While a student at Hexside, Eda released their griffin mascot from its pen and fed it spicy snacks until it vomited all over the grudgby field, while Principal Bump had a doughnut rather than cleaning it up.
- Griffin eggs are one of the few available foods in the Boiling Isles that are edible to humans.
- The Griffin's screech is a stock sound effect mostly used in other media such as: TMNT: Back to the Sewer, The Amazing World of Gumball, Heatstroke (2008), Code Lyoko and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012).
