I disagree. The scholar who provided Hero Wars stats for griffins made it clear in those stats that they are as intelligent as any other sentient animal, and more intelligent than some.
I agree with everything Bryan writes about the griffins in myth, but I think *all* griffins would possess some degree of intelligence and language skills, if only in archaic Firespeech, ancient Dara Happan, or whatever.
