<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>The grifflet is a young, yet magnificent beast. Mottled brown feathers marked with light splotches cover the grifflet's front legs, forebody, and wings, while the creature's eagle-like head is almost completely grey. The rear half of the grifflet's body is that of a young lion, with short, pale yellow fur and a long feline tail. Even at this immature stage of life, the horse-sized grifflet is a deadly foe.</pre><br />
<br />
==Hunting strategies==<br />
<br />
Grifflets, being a flying creature, are sometimes out of reach for [[melee]] attacks, predominantly when they have just soared into a room (though they also sometimes use it as a form of retreat). <br />
<br />
Therefore, melee hunters should wait until the grifflet itself attempts a [[melee]] attack (either with its beak or claws) against an adventurer before advancing (they can [[melee]] attack the [[yeti]] while remaining at high altitude). Ranged weapons and magical attacks perform as usual, although many knockdown and nature type spells (for example, [[Tremors (909)]] does not affect them as they are not on the ground. Unlike the [[Lesser griffin]] and [[Storm griffin]], Grifflets can be stunned and do not break it.<br />
<br />
They also have various maneuver and spell style abilities which can cause [[roundtime]], and can beat their wings for a [[Call Wind (912)]] style effect.<br />
<br />
==Other information==<br />
When using its [[Claw (attack)|claw attack]], the grifflet attacks with two claws at once (similar to [[Two Weapon Combat]]).<br />
