Whether there is a direct relation between the dark gryphon species and [[Jamirus]] is up to the player's imagination. ::The name change for the overseas versions of {{VIII}} was likely made due to there being no international release for {{VI}} at the time, and thus the vast majority of players would not understand the reference to the series' most infamous [[Jamirus|griffin]]. ==Gallery== <center><gallery> File:Dark gryphon XI model.jpg|''XI'' model </gallery></center> [[Category:Dragon Quest VIII enemies]] [[Category:Dragon Quest XI enemies]]
