Their fast dive bomb ability makes them a prime canidate for escaping wyverns after stealing an egg.

Wanna get Wyvern eggs? Use one of these with a whip and you'll get so many eggs you'll end up with so many omelettes that you don't know what to do with them

While diving pull up at the last second above your target and use main left click attack. Does a ton more dmg then just landing on target. Gives a nice speed boost too.

They are the fastest creature in ark, it's a good adquisition

They are the only flyer that can have the rider use weapons and fly. This is the best way to knock out Quetzes or difficult tames.

If you've got a best friend you like to explore a lot with you're gonna want this mythical beastie.

You will get knocked off your griffin if you touch water! When I was flying I accidentally touched water and there just so happened to be a high level megalodon right below me and I think you can guess how that turned out.

They can strafe like a tapejara. Good way to mitigate their bad turn radius is hold left or right while looking where you want to turn. Cuts radius in half.

Since you can use a bow/gun easy solo quetz tame.

For the people who like cats, birds, and speed the griffin is one of the best beast on ragnarok for you my friend, you can dive bomb your enemies but otherwise it does low damage but it is very fast

Two people can ride and both can equip tools/guns while riding and can dive for help during combat too. These winged beasts sadly can't be bred because they don't have genders, much like the rock elementals. And you're going going to have a very hard time knocking one out considering they fly fast and have decent attack, but will most likely be worth it. Probably going to have to move to Ragnarok because of these things.

Dive straight down then pull up near to the ground for a truly insane speed boost

It's basic swipe from the ground is rather weak. It's strength comes from being able to dive swipe. To utilize this, you will want to focus the camera on your target and fly above then straight down at the enemy, while left clicking to swipe a claw in air. This does unreal massive damage, potentially thousands of damage.

Best creature for getting wyvern milk and pretty much about everything. Makes all other flyers obsolete only downside is that it can pick up hardly anything bigger than a human or dodo <\3

Two seater, useful for exploring.

They do more damage if they are flying quicker, they can kill a wyvern easily.

Great for wyvern egg stealing, you need to master the dive acceleration before trying though. I recommend doing it over water to simulate the lava you would burn to death in if you fail ;)
Other than that with the dive these appear to be completely unmatched as far as speed goes for any Dino except maybe a pure speed galli

If Griff is on Neutral and standing near you while you’re in the water when a fish attacks you, the Griff will fly away... and away... and away. Had to chase mine 4 map quadrants. It was almost like it was on wander. Has something to do with a glitch and not being able to attack water units. This happened 4 times to me in 2 weeks.

The only thing that kill this is yourself... Ive killed so many just from a 10 foot drop

They can be decent for killing Wyverns depending on the level of both the wyvern and the griffin. It’s best to dive when you get too low on health to avoid killing the griffin. Diving takes a lot of stamina though so be mindful of how you use it!
