The Gryf is a fictional creature, a carnivorous Triceratops invented by Edgar Rice Burroughs in his fantasy novel Tarzan the Terrible. Other members of the Triceratops species were strictly herbivorous and became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period, around 65 million years ago. The Gryf survived the extinction event and mutated from a plant eater to a very dangerous predator. The Gryf has appeared in comic strips by Russ Manning.
