📋 About This Mod

This mod adds GRIFFINS in Skyrim (No DLC required)

Optional File: Esp Version Française pour la version 1. 1 (les rares notifications contenues dans les scripts et qui apparaissent à l’écran, en haut à gauche, n’ont pas été traduites)

This mod is a Standalone Mod with the SAME Griffins as in my mod Ravens and Co - Mounts and Followers (But NO Ravens, NO Avians)

"Griffins are legendary creatures with the tail, backlegs, and body of a lion, with the head, wings, and front feet of a eagle. The weird shape was to signify it as the king of birds, and the king of lions, and because of their legendary superiority Griffins are usually seen guarding great legendary treasures of ancient Greece"

RIDEABLE GRIFFIN

To have the Summonable Griffin you must buy the “Spell tome: Conjure Griffin” at Farengar Secret-Fire in Dragonsreach (Whiterun) or with an other "Spell Vendor" (ex: Sybille Stentor in the Blue Palace in Solitude).

With the book you have the spell.... Then summon the Griffin...

(If you have not bought a book/spell, NO PROBLEM, you can always put again this mod at the bottom of the list in the Data Files when you launch the game… buy the books, etc..)

The Griffin will appear above you...

Controls

You can head in any direction (turn left or right, up and down) with the Mouse (Look up and look down to steer up and down)

W (or Z): forward

A (or Q): turn left

D: turn right

You can summon your Griffin again when you have received the message "Dragon has returned".

(The Griffin will not disappear unless you mount it ride it and dismount it)

The Griffin do not help the player in combat and is supposed to be used as transport only

This mount contains a lot of bugs or problems (The legs tremble when you go up in altitude; You can be stuck on a tree) Save before taking a ride

Sometimes you have to be patient to mount on the Griffin (If you are unable to ride the Griffin, you must go away from him and then return to him)

To dismount, you must land, and you have to wait to be well “IN” the ground, then "E"...

If your Griffin refuses to fly again (to return at "home" !) when landing you can try a FAST TRAVEL

ARMIES OF GRIFFINS

This mod adds the ability to quickly incubate eggs with the fire of the forge, and quickly create a horde of GRIFFINS (5, 15, 50, MORE ? ...ATTENTI
