Does this story have griffons in it?
Mercedes Lackey & I heard that.
Maker's mercy! It's like talking to a child!
*sigh*
Yes... There are griffons in this story.
can I buy one? How much?
I think that depends on GM, you can buy a scroll of find greater steed though possibly.
I'd name mine... Feathers.
SKANDRANON!!!
Name a gryphon Skandranon & you'll just become an accessory in HIS story! But you'd look fabulous doing it.
I took mine on the Deepwings Mtn. by hands (for real) and i named him Rosco.
I’d name mine Hedwig
WOw
According to “DND Common” lore, a griffin mount is a huge status symbol because they are notorious difficult to tame. Keeping one is basically a full time job, and the ultimate test of animal handling.
Can you cast speak with animals on a griffin?
Depends on the DM, and if griffons are in the area. It would definitely cost at least 4 digits of gold pieces and probably more.
RAW, no, since griffons are Monstrosities and not Beasts.
Yet another factor making them difficult to tame.
Cool mount for a Wizard!
True.
My Griffon is called Mr. Smirkfeathers. And he's a really good boy.
In my group's Storm King's Thunder campaign, I play a Shadar-kai college of swords bard and was able to steal a griffin egg and am currently raising it. Her name is Avalen'da, named after my deceased(probably) sister. I wield a Spiked Chain and hand crossbow. Gonna be epic fun when she's fully grown.
Edited cause I can't spell worth a darn
