Griffin begins as a colossal, unnamed beast of war in Golden Son and is later revealed to be a meticulously engineered hybrid of lion and eagle, its very form a testament to the Golds' genetic artistry. Across the saga its role shifts from a mere mount of terror to a symbol of Darrow's growing dominion over the Society's most fearsome creations. Its evolution mirrors the series' broader theme of weaponized biology turned against its creators.
