Its a SKIN.there is an option to change mount skins in the hero-menu In the hero menu it is showing as locked for me... has a lock symbol over it. Let me guess... because I don't have the original griffon mount, then I cant use it... crapThat's right. It's another issue people have with this system. If you get 3 griffon skins in a row, for example, then you can't use them until you get the griffon mount.
