The Bitegriffon (バイトグリフォン, Baitogurifōn) is a type of Zoid, a race of biomechanical lifeforms from the fictional Zoids universe.
Overview
Formed from three of the Beith Republic's standard Zoids, the Bitegriffon was created despite the Republic's intolerance of combination as a desperate response to the Dinas Empire invasion and in particular its massive Groundrago. With the speed of a Hurricanehawk, the power of a Hardbear and the ferocity of a Bravejaguar, the Bitegriffon is a formidable opponent on the ground or in the air. It is much less savage and unpredictable than the large Dinas Zoids, and as such is controlled by only a single pilot. Nonetheless, its success in defending the Republic has earned it the moniker "Phantom Beast-King of the Wind".
Media Appearances
Bitegriffon appears in the Zoids Graphix Volume One, realeased in April 2006. In this pamphlet, the Zoid's blue color is flat and much darker than the actual model's. Bitegriffon is also seen at the end of TOMY's Neoblox computer-generated commercial facing off against Groundrago.
Video Games
The Bitegriffon appears in the Zoids Battle Colosseum game for the Nintendo DS. When used with the pilot Rakoru, it upgrades to the Bitegriffon Spear.
Models
The Bitegriffon was initially available in April 2006 only by buying the individual releases of Neoblox NBZ-01 through -03, each of which included instructions to build it. In July, the Bitegriffon was released as a single box set, recolored with a unified color scheme.
No model of the Bitegriffon Spear was ever released.
