Well Astrum made a giant flaming mass of adorable...

Anyways, the wolverine comparison seems fitting honestly. To me Dragons always seemed to have a leg up of Griffins (not just in MGE) Dragon scales are almost always described as functioning like armor, most everything just bounces off, a dragons tail is actually useful as a weapon, and there is of course the complete lack of a breath weapon in the Griffins. And in most myth there's a huge difference in power and intelligence both favoring the dragons. There isn't any myth about a Griffin who can take on gods or is a god but there are loads of dragon myths at god tier. Looking at the two, a Griffin shouldn't be able to match up to most dragons. But the smae could be said about a wolverine and a grizzly or a honey badger and a lion. The Griffin can't overpower the dragon, but through sheer ferocity and tenacity it can force the dragon to retreat. Kind of like a song bird defending it's nest from a hawk (I've seen it, those little bastards are unrelenting.)
