The '''royal griffin''' is the upgraded version of the [[Griffin (H3)|griffin]], the third-tier creature of the [[Castle (town)|Castle]] faction in ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia|Heroes of Might and Magic III]]''. It can be trained at the [[Upg. griffin tower|upgraded griffin tower]].

{{text|Griffins roost in special towers built for them on the Castle grounds. Standard griffins are able to counterstrike against two attackers per turn. Royal griffins can counterstrike an unlimited number of attackers.}}

The royal griffin has two major improvements over the griffin: a large increase in speed, and instead of retaliating twice, the royal griffin has unlimited retaliation, fighting back every time it is struck. This protects it from being ganged up on, or at least assures that the opponent will regret doing so.

The biggest problem is that its hit points are still low, and it is too vulnerable to stand on its own.

==Notes==
*[[Edric (Enroth)|Edric]] is a specialist in royal griffins, and gives them +1 to [[Attack]] and [[Defense]] per hero level. These creatures also get +1 to [[Speed]].
