The gryphon is a neutral mob with the head of a bird, beak of a parrot, long ears, lion's mane, lion front legs, eagle talons on the front legs, 6 slightly backwards pointing back spikes, peacock tail, eagle legs, bird wings and a unicorn horn with varying length. It spawns in the ice spikes biome, and makes burrows in the ice spikes. (For good performance, the burrows would spawn in on world generation, and a placeholder entity would keep track of all gryphons.) Gryphons mine in caves for gold during the day, using their horns to dig, and go home at night. Gryphons mate of their own accord, will stay in the burrow together once they mate, and produce multiple babies. If the burrow has babies, one gryphon stays home to look after them. When the babies grow up, they leave the burrow and dig a new one. Allthe gryphons in one ice spike mine together, being led by the one with the longest horn. They can be tamed by giving them gold. Leaders are easiest to tame, and will tame the rest of their group upon taming. Tame gryphons will mine ore for you, but will keep half of the gold and can be given a saddle and be ridden. They will follow you during the day, but fly home at night. They can be equipped with stained glass, which will give them chicken spectacles of the colour glass used, and will let them see through five opaque blocks in a row.

Credit words due, this is pretty much the mythological creature. Still, if I saw this in Minecraft, I'd be scratching my head for decades.

It's almost always a bad idea for mobs to mess around with blocks. That alone can bring its own set of problems. I don't want mobs messing around with ores I want.

At this point, you're starting to bulk this mob with very specific and pointless mechanics it doesn't need.

We don't need another tamed mob, especially one that does work that players should be doing. I don't want a pointless tamable mob keeping half the gold. I want all of it. Flying in survival is overpowered and has proven hundreds of times. Just another mob with senseless, sloppy slapped-together stats.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.

You described the creature accurately, but it has some pointless attributes.
