Griffins (or Griffons, or Gryphons), associated in ancient times with gods like Dionysus and heroes like Alexander the Great, are now accessible to (nearly) everyone since the first expansion of World of Warcraft, an online game launched by Blizzard in 2004. The golden griffin, whose magnificent wingspan, high altitude, and colors that melt into the sunset can be admired in this artwork, is one of the most important flying rides available to the Alliance player, allowing him to realize (even if only virtually) the dream of piloting his own fabulous creature.
