DISCREPSION
There are a couple descriptions for Griffins: one is that it is part bird and part lion. Sometimes it is specified as part lion, part eagle. Occasionally, it is represented as a lion's body with an eagles head (without wings.) Griffins are frequently large, capable of carrying a man and horse, or an elephant, in its talons. The term Griffin is also used to describe a large bird

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There is very little information for this unit exepet the griffon fly and swops to cause damage.

I was going to do a griffin unit but i decided not to. The way i saw it is it would be like the dragon unit except it only takes up 1 position on the board instead of the dragons 2.

I'm assuming the griffin uses it's talons to attack has the special ability of teleport.

My major concern is that this unit is very fast, (movement and recovery) with high HP. You could fly the unit in, take a swipe at a character and be back like that. However if thats what you were going for then you got it.

My opinion this character is leaning toward needing to be counted as two characters rather then one because of it's speed. If you want it to be 2 then you'll have to juice it up a bit more but if you want it to be one i suggest taking the power down a touch.

A fine fine unit
