What are griffins?

Griffins are creatures that look like a mix between a lion and an eagle, and they love to steal shiny things.

Imagine you have a favorite toy, maybe it's a red ball or a blue block. Now picture a big, strong animal with the body of a lion (like your dog, but much bigger) and wings like an eagle (like a bird that can fly). That’s a griffin! They’re not just cool to look at, they also steal shiny things from wherever they can find them. It's like if you had a friend who took your favorite toy just to have it, even though they didn’t need it.

Griffins are very good at stealing, especially shiny things like gold or jewelry. They might fly down from a mountain and take something from a treasure chest, it’s like when you sneak into the kitchen to grab a cookie in the middle of the night!

They also like to live on mountains or near treasure. So if you ever find a shiny object in the woods, it might be because a griffin left it there after stealing it!
