NorthernXY Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 You see every type of mythological being on a sigil in the actual Planetos besides griffins. Dragons, manticores, etc. are real and on sigils, griffins are on the Connington sigil, but never has there been a griffin talked about as being once real. There are at least a dozen other magical creatures, but no griffins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aryagonnakill#2 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yes they are... Sweet Robin asks Sansa to tell him the story of the Falcon Knight like every other time he speaks, the Falcon Knight rode a giant Falcon to the top of the mountain and killed the last griffen.

aryagonnakill#2 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I don't have my copy of Feast but that doesn't make much sense. Why was the Griffen king at the top of the Lance? Even the Eyrie isn't at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boarsbane Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 He killed the Griffin King. Maybe the griffin king had a griffin and he fought on its back while Artys fought on the back of his giant falcon. Anyways as for the OP, the giant falcons probably killed all the griffins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the griffin king had a griffin and he fought on its back while Artys fought on the back of his giant falcon.Anyways as for the OP, the giant falcons probably killed all the griffins :dunno: Don't have my copy in English now either, so, according to Wiki, Ser Artys was an Andal leader who set out from Essos to conquer Westeros and spread the Faith of the Seven. He commanded the forces that drove the First Men and the children of the forest out of the Vale of Arryn. He flew to the top of Giant's Lance on the back of a giant falcon to slay the Griffin King. The Griffin King is a legendary figure, who lived six thousand years ago. He was the leader of the First Men of the Vale and the last of the Mountain Kings. The name probably means nothing except that he was called a Griffin King because, dunno, maybe he liked griffins. Or, maybe, the Arryns expelled the Griffins, and they ended up in the Stormlands and married the Conningtons :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulthosian Stark Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I like to think there were even though there is no mention of them... Yet. There still could be.I'm still banking on The Land of the Shrykes being populated by dinosaur like beings. Like velociratpors and smaller, no trex or brachosaurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I maintain hope that griffins exist in total solitude high in the mountains of the Vale :) But if that's not the case, this.... They're too good for Westeros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have giant falcons and have SR ride on one and defeat Dany and Drogon in aerial combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Vaes Tolorro Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Griffins and dragons are often mortal enemies in fiction. So maybe the reason the Valyrians avoided Westeros was because the griffins would have hurt their dragons. But once the griffins died out, the dragons could live safetly. or maybe the Targaryens hunted the griffins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonCon's Red Beard Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 There's a Griffin in Westeros, his name is Red Ronnet. Oh, please. His bastard looks like he's more of a fiery griffin than Ronnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universal Sword Donor Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Oh, please. His bastard looks like he's more of a fiery griffin than Ronnet. So Jon Connington, with reddish grey hair and a mostly red beard, looks more like Ronnet's bastard who "looks like his father" who has long red hair and a long red beard? I mean, even adjusting for age I'd call it a wash, despite Jon Connington himself describe the bastard as looking like his father.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleFinger Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Oh, please. His bastard looks like he's more of a fiery griffin than Ronnet. Third place in the melee behind Brienne and Loras, not bad for tepid flaccid griffin. :cool4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pretty much said "fuck you" to Jon to his face while the other two little griffins did, well, nothing. Third place in the melee behind Brienne and Loras, not bad for tepid flaccid griffin. :cool4: He was third?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
