	Lesser ~~Griffins~~, 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).		Lesser griffins, 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).

	Therefore, melee hunters should wait until the griffin 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)]]) do not affect them as they are not on the ground. They are also immune to stuns. The best way to battle these avian monsters is to [[Web (118)]] them. This will give you some time to kill your prey and avoid some of their nasty maneuvers.

	The '''lesser griffin''' is a magnificent beast, as if designed by the gods to embody fierce and graceful predation. Its front legs, forebody, wings, and head are those of a great eagle, complete with large white feathers and aquiline beak. The rear half of the creature's body is that of a powerful lion, with short tawny fur and a long feline tail. Emphasized by its size, which is larger than a warhorse, the griffin's renowned majestic presence and great bravery have earned the creature a place on many nobles' coats-of-arms.		<pre{{log2\|margin-right=26em}}>The '''lesser griffin''' is a magnificent beast, as if designed by the gods to embody fierce and graceful predation.
