Black Griffin

The derivation of this word remains uncertain. It could be related to the Greek word γρυπός (grypos), meaning 'curved', or 'hooked'. Greek γρύφ (gryph) from γρύφ 'hook-nosed' is suggested.

It could also have been an Anatolian loan word derived from a Semitic language; compare the Hebrew word for kherub/cherubim, כרוב kərúv.

The Black Griffin is a large griffin taller than their relatives and mostly black feathers, skin, claws, wings, and even face. Their beak was grayish black.

The Black Griffin is immune to dark element magic due to their color scheme being entirely black. Black Griffins are assassins in the night sky and possess more intelligence than typical griffins and their relatives, the parroffins.

The Black Griffin doesn't breathe dark elements but rather a black wind that can put more pressure and be stronger to push than typical griffins. The Black Griffin's jet-black coloring and dark feathers help it to blend in flawlessly with the night sky. There are no further cautions other than the shrieks of the eagle and the sound of the dive-bombing with a loaded burst shortly before it attacks.

Despite cunning and elusive, this griffin is very curious in nature and cannot be provoked unless we attack.

The black griffin has been found in dark forests and covered forests more than any other griffin and lives across the world.

You can tame this Griffin with a crossbow. Wait 5-7 seconds between shots and there is no way you will kill it. Torpor raises over time, arrows/darts are not instant. Griffin was tranquilized by bullets and made unconscious, fed it while unconscious and used narcotics to continuously overdose.

All griffins are immediately domesticated when they hatch from an egg because the survivor is always within 17 radii of the hatching egg. If the griffin isn't already trained, you can train it with a stick, meat, fish meat, or clams.

Members of the Templars and Assassins trained black griffins to kill Conservationist Hunters, opponents who defend humans or other species from annihilation. A member of the Templars named Guaiya Punzalan later tamed a member of this species that had wandered into Guam by mistake.

Due to habitat degradation and poaching for its black feathers, this species, which was once endemic to North Africa and Eurasia, is now severely endangered. The two groups, Templars and Assassins, secretly partnered with Conservationist Hunters as a mistaken adversary and are currently working together under Diana Spencer's command because Abstergo manufactured their black feather as a dark-element-resistant one that causedthis endangerment.
