In the kingdom of the Griffin King, the Wizard of Light and the Wizard of Dark were brothers, connected by blood and magic. They lived in peace until the Wizard of Dark, tempted by an ancient evil, decided to use forbidden magic to rule the world. The Wizard of Light, whose duty was to protect the kingdom, stood against his brother's dark plans. This disagreement started a war that divided the land.
To win the war, the Wizard of Dark summoned a terrible black dragon named Valkhoros from the Abyss. The dragon had eyes like molten lava and wings so large they blocked the sun, bringing fear and destruction wherever it went.
In response, the Wizard of Light called upon a noble griffin named Aurethir . With his brilliant crimson wings, Aurethir stood as a blazing symbol of hope and defiance against the dragon's shadow.

This set is a combination of Dragon Attack and The Griffin. Although the griffin is slightly smaller than my black dragon, they look cool together and the fusion of the two sets creates an epic battle scene.

My passion for fantasy creatures inspired me to design both a brick-built griffin and a black dragon for the Bricklink Designer Program. While the idea of the griffin was born from the new Griffin Faction, and the dragon from my love for dark fantasy, neither is based on an existing character. For both, I studied various artwork and existing Lego builds for inspiration, but ultimately created something entirely new and unique for each. My intent was to create poseable animals instead of a static statues and also added two wizards to the set for more playability options. I prefer the brick built solutions to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds, and therefore only two types of stickes are used for the griffin and the dragon eyes.

Dimensions of the griffin (as it is shown on the main picture):
Width: 21.9 studs / 6.9 in / 17.5 cm
Length: 39.6 studs / 12.5 in / 31.7 cm
Height: 35.4 studs / 11.1 in / 28.3 cm

Dimensions of the dragon (as it is shown on the main picture):
Width: 73.3 studs / 23.1 in / 58.6 cm
Length: 67.7 studs / 21.3 in / 54.1 cm
Height: 48.5 studs / 15.3 in / 38.8 cm

Picture 7 shows the rotation joints of the griffin and approximate rotation ranges. The griffin may be unstable in some of the depicted poses without additional support, particularly in the one shown in picture 3.

Picture 4 shows the rotation joints of the dragon and approximate rotation ranges. Some rotation joints can only be stable in certain positions, for example the tail end must rest on the ground.

My name is Laszlo Torma and I love LEGO, it is one of my hobbies. I prefer minifigure scale and I design usually but not exclusively Speed Champions style car models. My LEGO nick name is TLG which is the abbrevation of my full name (in Hungarian order).

I hope you enjoy this set. Many thanks for your support and feedback!

All the best,
