Cloth would be hard to make, but they can gather flax and stuff.. again, claws are handy for such things and birds are known for weaving. I forgot the species of bird, but they are known to make a weaved nest of twigs between tree branches and make it enclosed. So in theory, a Griffon could also do this.
Clay, is well, clay. That is all I gotta say on that.
I imagine there gatherings skills would be done the same way a Dragons is done, which is use 'natural' crafting tools. Meaning where we just click on our macroed button, hit gather, and away they go.
Also if they already did design a Griffon and if VI could get a hold of those original files, that also takes off some of the work load.
As for a RoP, yeah I can see the Griffon having there own, probably start out as a wee little thing and they get bigger. Though I imagine Griffons are not anywhere near the size of Dragons. So an old Griffon maybe be like-- up to an adult dragon's shoulder.
