Gryphons don't swim. Their feathers would get wet.

6-9ft tall. 12-20ft (not including tail which is about half their lenght)

1. Are they excellent swimmers? If they are, how long can they stay under?
2. How big do they get?

Thanks for answering!

Do gryphons have any natural resistances to anything?

wrong, for someone apparently so "in the know" regarding gryphons, you should know the difference between a gryphon (lion/eagle) and a hippogryph (horse/eagle)

hippo = horse

as in the word hippopotamus which means river horse and hippocampus (seahorse)

Sentinent = Self-awareness. Meaning they can think and have personalities like humans do and not rely on hard-wired instincts.

Hippogryph was a name J.K. Rowling substituted for Gryphon. They are the same thing. J.K. Rowling simply changed the name. Hippogryphs aren't real.

No, Harry Potter was one of the poorest examples of a gryphon.
They aren't really, it's just that it their body looks like the head of a bird and the body of a lion.

Pardon me but, the one in the move "Harry Potter" was a hippogryph.
