Anyone know of any?

Arcuballis - the griffon mount of Kith-Kanan.

Nov 28, 2004 22:06:43 Acruballis is the only Griffon I can ever remember being mentioned personally. ALl other griffons ever mentioned are more or less treated as generic creatures, although it is possible Lucia Solamnus had a name for hers which I can't remember at the moment.

Nov 28, 2004 22:34:56 Actually Arcuballis wasn't the only one ever named.

A couple of others that spring to mind are Taggi from 'The Citadel', and Ravenclaw from 'The Dragons'.

*SMACK!* :D

Basically, I'm looking for a naming pattern. As it stands now, I don't really see one.

Nov 28, 2004 23:00:40 No, not really. I guess the major difference in these names, are the ones that riders/owners give them (ie. Taggi & Arcuballis) versus a true griffon name (ie. Ravenclaw), which we see when Ravenclaw speaks to Darlantan in 'The Dragons'.

Since you are after names for which the elves would give their griffon mounts, I'd go with strong sounding names, perhaps meaning something in elvish. Such as Lokethyar (kethyar meaning pride in elvish).

Of course for your true griffon names, I'd go with more primal or tribal sounding names. Basically something associated to their climate, temperament, something proud and warlike, or aerian in nature.
