Griffin Miniature – Regal Skyborne Guardian of Cliffs, Peaks, and Ancient Thrones

Meet the Griffin

Majestic, fierce, and steeped in centuries of myth, the Griffin stands as one of fantasy’s most iconic creatures. With the noble head and wings of an eagle and the muscular body of a lion, Griffins appear throughout the Forgotten Realms, ancient folklore, and the Open5e SRD, symbolizing power, vigilance, and untamed freedom.

Legends depict them as guardians of sacred places—temple ruins perched high in the mountains, golden hoards left by lost civilizations, or mystical nests carved into sheer cliff faces. Some cultures revere them as divine messengers, while others fear them as territorial apex predators capable of tearing armored riders from horseback in a single swoop.

The Griffin Resin Miniature Set by Yasashii Kyojin Studio captures this duality of nobility and ferocity. Sculpted with extraordinary detail—from layered feathers and sinewy lion muscles to razor talons—each pose embodies the spirit of a creature equally suited for soaring battles and solemn story-driven moments.

From the Crafty Llama Tables

Wind roars across the cliffside as your party ascends the ancient stone steps. The sun glints off something high above—feathers, broad and shimmering.

A shadow passes overhead.

The Griffin descends with a thunderous cry, wings beating the air into swirling eddies. Talons scrape the stone as it lands, eyeing the party with regal suspicion. This is its domain.

Another shape stirs behind it—the Laying Griffin rises just slightly, protective, powerful, watching you with a predator’s calm intelligence.

Have you come as allies? Trespassers? Or thieves seeking its sacred hoard?

Your next words—or the next initiative roll—will decide.

This miniature set lets your table experience the awe and peril of meeting a mythic guardian face-to-face.
