Griffins



This page serves as a source of information on Griffins as it is applicable to World 42 role-playing characters. Feel free to contribute.

Griffins are a well-known fantastical race, that are known for their odd combination of races

A Brief History
It is unknown when griffins came to gielinor, or who brought them here. They have played little part in the events of the world, and the only known griffin resides on White Wolf Mountain.

Accepted Lore
This section addresses details about griffins that are widely accepted throughout the world-42 role-playing community
 * Griffins have the front half of a large bird of pray, including the wings, and the back-half of a lion
 * As we have had only one experience with griffins, it is unknown whether or not he is a good representation of the personality of a griffin, or strength of a griffin.

Debated Lore
This section addresses details about Griffins that are subject to debate or speculation. This can either be because of inconsistent/non-existant information in-game or because use of the detail in role-play creates an unfair scenario. All of this is based on the experience the player has with grimgnash the griffin.
 * Griffins seem violent and enjoy gruesome detail, and violence in general.
 * Griffins seem to like having nests on tall, cold, icy mountains
 * Griffins are strong enough to cause significant damage to a human being. It is unknown if this is true for all griffins, or if grimgnash is unusually strong.
 * There seems to be only one griffin on Gielinor, but it is unknown if there is more in an unfound location
 * Griffins do not seem to care for, or be fond of griffins. Once again, it is unknown if this is just Grimgnashes personality.
 * Griffins may be capable of flight

Common Mistakes
This section addreses common traits unexperienced role-players often bestow griffins, bu are not seen on any actual griffins in game
 * Griffins do not seem to be a common animal, so it is unlikely that the run-of-the-mill average joe has seen one.
 * Griffins don't appear to be very kind, or care for any humans what-so-ever, so it is unlikely that you might have one as a pet.
