Plain Griffin
“ The true king of the birds, the majesty of the skies as fierce as a lion, is this species' power, wealth, courage, and prestige. This animal was a lion or an eagle; the beast guards the gold of the kings, as well as other priceless possessions or quail-patterned eggs. ”

The Plain Griffin (Leoaquilus gryphus), also known as Brown Griffin, Common Griffin, or simply as Griffin (Arabic: غريفين عادي "ghirifin eadi"; Greek: κανονικός γρύπας "kanonikós grýpas"; Amharic: መደበኛ ግሪፈን "medebenya girīfeni"; Somali: grifon caadiga ah; Albanian: grifon kafe). is the fictional species of griffin introduced in Historya Davvun and later series.
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 Brown Griffin is a large griffin larger than their relatives, with mostly brown to tan feathers with black tips, yellowish skin and face, and sharp gray claws. Underneath the wings are dull brown, tan colored belly, and even deep brown feathers with black tips. Their beak was grayish-black.
Because the griffins are aggressive and easily distracted, bringing multiple flyers would make it difficult to obtain one. All griffins have a devastating dive-bomb attack.

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.
