Description
A snow white, gargantuan sized, elemental with the appearance of a griffon with ice coating many of the feathers along its wings and body. The territory they claim becomes the epicenter of a blizzard, with their nest being the eye of the storm. A Blizzard Gryphon can come into existence when a griffon wanders into the Elemental Plane of Ice and begins to adapt to the glacial landscape or it is created through the influence of other planar entities. One such instance of this happening was when a griffon made a deal with an archfey to exact its revenge on an adult white dragon that destroyed it's pride and mate.
