Etymology

Physical Appearance
Snowy Griffin is a griffin with feather-like pycnofibres that are black-tipped white for males in the belly, arms, wings, and pinions, and females have less of the black-tipped pycnofibres. Their scaly hands and black skin, including their faces, allow them to take in more UV light and thus stay warm. To prevent deafness, their ears are entirely encased in fluffy inner ears. Snowy Griffin has a yellow bill with black tips.
Abilities
Snowy Griffin shoots a frozen substance that immobilizes both prey and foes. By spitting an icy ball from its mouth or wings, Snowy Griffin can create a powerful tornado. Any hunter, assassin, or Templar caught in this snow tornado will suffer from the freeze effect.

Behavior
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.
Distribution and Habitat
The Snowy Griffin lives in icy areas like snowy mountains, tundra, taiga, and polar regions, where it preys on large and plentiful roaming herbivores or fish.

Tamed
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.
