Gryffyn is an extra skin in Piggy. He was the main bot and antagonist for the first phase of The Hunt: First Edition Event before it's removal. He is one of the two skins that could have been obtained from Season 4 - Expectant Exploration, along with Kamosi (Alternate).

Appearance

Gryffyn appears to be a tall knight statue resembling a pig. Mist seems to appear around his weapon and torso. In his default form, his eyes, helmet, visor, horsehair crest, pauldrons, and gauntles are all black, as well as his markings on his chest, waist, knees, and elbows. He also wields a halberd, which is also marked black. With every kill, the previously mentioned areas and weapon change color, which can vary between red, green, yellow, blue, white, and purple.

Obtainability

Note: You can't enter the season shop and get the skin because Season 4 - Expectant Exploration is over.

Reach level 11 in Season 4 and purchase him for 1050 Relics.

Animations

Idle

Current

Stands up straight, while twitching their head to the right often, nods a little during head twitch.

Scrapped

Stands up straight, occasionally tips their head to the left. Unlike the current idle animation, Gryffyn's halberd is perched on its left shoulder, and its entire body is rigged.

Walking

Current

Appear to bend their knees while walking. The same as Crove’s.

Scrapped

Legs are less stiff compared to current animation, and Gryffyn now carries its halberd with its hands while moving its head.

Jumpscare

Moves both hands behind head to grab weapon, then slams weapon and body down onto the player, changing the color of their weapon and suit of armor after getting up.

Stunned

Looks up and puts arms down, with occasional head twitching (overlays the current animation).

Trivia

• Gryffyn is the first and so far the only season skin to appear in a chapter.
  • The bot used in The Hunt isn't an exact copy of the skin, as it doesn't have the color changing mechanic upon a player being killed.
• He is the fourth skin to partially change color, the first being Anteo, the second being Sentinel, the third being Mr. Bliss, and the fourth being Carver.
  • Of these, him and Carver are the only ones to change color after a certain action rather than always alternating in color.
• He is the second skin that glows after killing, the first one being Silzous.
  • Interestingly, both of these characters have a somewhat medieval appearance.
• He is the second limited time skin to later become a bot. The first being Poley.
  • Both its and Poley's bot counterparts are slightly different than their original skins. The Poley bot having a different hat, weapon, and animations as well as being non-infected, and the Gryffyn bot not changing colors after killing a player. And while the Gryffyn bot uses the same material as the skin, that being Slate, it appears different since the event it appears in uses the 2022 materials rather than the classic materials.
• He has particle effects surrounding him that are more visible on high graphics.
• The Gryffyn bot in The Hunt: First Edition was nerfed to have the same speed as the Grandmother bot.
• His name probably stems from Gryphon, a creature from Greco-Roman and medieval European folklore that is half-lion and half-eagle.
• Most of Gryffyn's animations are originally from Crove, with Gryffyn's idle having a different head movement due to his rig.
• Gryffyn has unused idle and walk animations made by D3XT3R PLAYZ. According to D3XT3R PLAYZ, the animations were unused because they were too big for the standard doorway.
