Griffin claws are the claws of the griffin, a magical creature with the front of an eagle and the hindquaters of a lion. It is not specified whether the claws are from the talons of the eagle half of the animal, or the claws of the lion half. When powdered, the claw can be used as an ingredient in the Strengthening Solution.
