It's Griffon in the singular and Griffins in the Plural

That is a Griffon Hunting dog it's been around since 430 BC named by a greek historian for the mythical animal.


Are there anymore Griffon fun facts I might illuminate for you?

[Scott Sion]

Yes, in no dictionary I've seen has Griffon been defined as you describe it.

Well if you look here on the Mythology wikia.. there are multiple spellings. But Griffon is among them. And I continue to think that's the correct spelling ^^

"Griffin" is used as the Primary spelling of it for the article. I think they're all acceptable to be honest.

Griffons are only extinct in Thedas, or at least to the best of peoples knowledge. I'd love to see them return BUT.. I'd rather BW save the "Return of the Griffins" for their next game that focuses around Wardens and the Blight.

Good idea, perhaps we can hear rumors about griffin sightings. And learn the truth of it in the next game.

Lol DA/BW love their foreshadowing, but yeah hints/sightings and rumors during DA3 would be great, build up that suspense and anticipation.

Just think how epic it would be if we saw something like this..

In the future DA/Blight game, the Warden is injured by a group of darkspawn and gets cornered. Before the darkspawn can land the killing blow.. a shirk (Do griffons shirk? *shurg*) is heard, then a shadow falls over the darkspawn. Then finally a wild Griffon swoops down and plucks two of the darkspawn up in its talons and drops them from up high.

It then lands and slashes at the remaining spawn with its talons and crushes with its beak. After the spawn are dead, the Griffon slowly approaches the Warden and extends its neck and head out towards the Warden, and seems to bow its head slightly. The Warden places his/her hand on the noble beasts head and they form a bond.

Thus marks the return of the Griffons to Thedas.

Griffons are extinct! I'd be kinda pissed if they suddenly came back actually. Plus I think some of the devs get a kick out of denying this specific thing and they should be allowed to have fun too.

Well, dragons were supposed to be exctinct in Thedas. So they could still miraculously return. If not, maybe Bioware can make an spin-off series called Griffon Age.

This was my take on it as well. I dont think any Devs have said that Giffons will never be seen in any DA game. I am sure that another Blight will revisit the DA series at some point and i have a hunch that Giffons will be found in the world again...

I want Hercules here as my companion in DA 3, lol.  It'll never happen, but it would be pretty damned cool, lol.

Right, are you aware they also spell "Sir" incorrectly? I'll stick with the way it's really spelled on this one.

So were dragons. And given the ominous prophecy "everyone will be like they were", this could very well count for the Grey Wardens and their Griffins as well.

A Griffin vs Archdemon airbattle doesn't really fit into established gameplay, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. It would be epic and I want it !

No, dragons were NEVER said to be extinct.  They were driven NEARLY to extinction, but not claimed to be totally gone.

Nope, not spelled incorrectly, in fact it's a completely different title which actually exists in real life.

It was accepted into real life AFTER it was incorrectly spelled in DA and that book series. If you're writting a paper or a letter I wouldn't use "Ser" under any circumstance.

Well I'm not writing a paper, and regardless, Ser and Griffon are the correct spellings in regards to Dragon Age lore. Therefore, in this case;

Very similar to a lingual aspect of Tolkien mythology, which has it's own cases of alternate spelling and plurals, one I think  is dwarves, rather than dwarfs, the former of which is mostly only used in fantasy literature. In fact, when The Hobbit was first published, it was corrected back to dwarfs, against Tolkien, so it had be corrected again in later editions. So in other terms, Griffin, Sir, and Dwarfs are all of course correct spellings, but in regards to specific mythologies or lore, it is correctly spelt in an alternate way. As a result, on this site, and in regards to Thedas lore, it is in fact spelt Griffon.

Because, you know, he is a Griffin.

Still using the correct spelling of the word.

Griffin? Griffon? Screw it, I'll just call mine Fluffy.

[l7986]

Pfft finding a griffon is weak. You will be contacted by the wardens who will pass down an ancient shape shifting ability, and the mages in your party can shape shift into griffons.
