I love the Gryphon! When will be able to tame it and then ride it? I mean uh, like a mount, but maybe also the other one as well lol. Practically speaking though, I think the gryphon could be a good mount to add "Fast Travel" too seeing as it can fly. That way we could visit other places easily, like with Tao's place.
Also, maybe I missed it the on the screen, but they I don't think they have an Enemy Relationship stat yet even though we could use love potion on them and make them love us. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.
