History[]

During the massive Grimm invasion of Vale in "Battle of Beacon", these flying creatures entered the city. Several landed on Amity Colosseum and began attacking the students gathered there, but they are stopped by Professor Peter Port and Doctor Bartholomew Oobleck, who heroically held them off as the students escaped.

A few more Griffons were also seen in Beacon's courtyard, with one notable Griffon seemingly unaffected by Coco Adel's Gatling bullets, which destroyed Death Stalkers and Nevermores in the previous invasion. A giant Griffon was responsible for swallowing Roman Torchwick in "Heroes and Monsters".

Powers and Abilities[]

Their abilities are not currently known, for they have not been seen in direct combat. They are capable of flight and have sharp talons and a large beak with which to attack.
