Etymology

  • The Japanese name for the monster references Jamiras, one of the four lieutenants to the Archfiend Mortamor. Whether there is a direct relation between the dark gryphon species and Jamiras 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 players would not understand the reference to the series' most infamous griffin.
