Extraordinary Kibble
Overview
The Griffin is a medium-sized carnivorous flyer. It excels at aerial combat with high-speed diving attacks that deal massive damage. This makes it ideal for hunting and raiding enemy bases from the air. It can airlift smaller creatures such as Achatina or Dilophosaur in its claws for rapid deployment.
Griffins are commonly tamed for their speed, agility, and ability to carry small cargo while flying.

More about taming the Griffin
Griffins must be knocked out before taming. Use a Chain Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it, then sedate with Tranq Arrows from a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle. The best food is Extraordinary Kibble. Raw Mutton also works well. Taming takes about 50 minutes and requires roughly 107 Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
The Griffin has a +120% weakness to Instant HurtDinos, making it extremely vulnerable to Tek Dino attacks. It also takes +55% more damage from metal-based melee attacks and +50% more from explosions. Conversely, it is highly resistant to ranged turret fire and mining drills. Level Health and Melee Damage for combat.
The Griffin's head has a 1.5× damage multiplier, making headshots more effective during knockout attempts. Focus on the head when using ranged weapons to sedate it faster.

Experience
The Diving Swipe attack deals 188 damage and is highly effective against players and structures. Use it while diving from high altitude for maximum impact. It can carry small creatures like Compy or Archaeopteryx in its claws during flight. The Griffin is weak to Tek Dino abilities, so avoid direct confrontations with them. Its Dive Bomb attack has a 25-meter range and resets quickly, allowing for rapid follow-ups.
