It would be easy to lump together griffon and pegasus abilities, but there are a few subtle differences. Griffons can stand on clouds and control the weather to some degree, but they are not as sensitive to atmospheric changes as pegasi are. Unlike ponies who have one main talent, griffons are jacks of all trades who are competent at most jobs, but not outstanding in any single skill. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule such as the chef Gustave le Grand.
