Overview
In the village of Chander, Trap Jaw and Beast Man break into the Shrine of the Gryphon to steal the Gryphon jewel, and place it in the grounds of the Royal Palace.

Feeling that it makes him someone important, he refuses to part with it, and soon, the Gryphon is wrecking destruction in search of the missing jewel...
