The Griffin is the fastest flying mount in Ride a Pet, and it comes from the single luckiest egg in the game right now. Getting it is less about luck at the map and more about clearing a specific prerequisite, surviving a timed dash out of a volcano, and stacking enough Hatch Luck to actually crack the egg into a Griffin.
Quick answer: The Griffin hatches from the Volcanic Egg (2.5T Hatch Luck). You need a Phoenix first, then grab the egg from the Dragon’s Lair inside the volcano and carry it back to your Ranch before two 20-second timers expire.
The egg that produces the Griffin
The Griffin is tied to the Volcanic Egg, added in Update 2: The Volcanic Update. It carries a 2.5T Hatch Luck value, which makes it the strongest hatching egg in the current meta and rarer than the Cherub Egg. Unlike most rare eggs, it has one dedicated spawn area rather than scattered locations across the map.
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Ethereal |
| Hatch Luck | 2.5T |
| Spawn area | Dragon’s Lair, inside the volcano |
| Prerequisite | Phoenix |
| Target pet | Griffin |
The Eternal Radar excludes the Volcanic Egg. It detects only three targets—the Cherub Egg, the Solaris Egg, and the Black Hole Egg—so use another method for this hunt.
What you need before the run
You cannot go straight for the Volcanic Egg. The volcano run is gated behind a pet and behind your Hatch Luck.
- A Phoenix, which is required to access the egg.
- A fast mount to reach Volcano Island and retrace your exit path.
- Enough Ranch Hatch Luck to clear the Volcanic Egg’s threshold when you hatch it.
Multiply Ranch Hatch Luck by Egg Hatch Luck to get Hatch Luck. The Volcanic Egg starts with a 2.5T base, which contributes substantially, but you can also increase Ranch Hatch Luck at the upgrade board on your plot. Rebirthing clears Hatch Luck, so plan your run before resetting your progress.
Where the Volcanic Egg spawns and how to reach it
The egg only appears in the Dragon’s Lair, deep inside the volcano on Volcano Island. When it spawns, the game shows an on-screen announcement, and you can check the Tracker NPC to confirm whether it is currently on the map. The route runs from the Desert biome, across the water, and up through the mountain and volcano terrain.
Escaping with the egg before it cracks
Picking up the egg is only half the job. Grabbing it starts a timed escape, and failing either timer breaks the egg.
Hatching the Griffin and confirming it worked
Back at your Ranch, hatch the Volcanic Egg once you have cleared its Hatch Luck threshold. Clearing the minimum does not guarantee the Griffin on the first try, so it is worth banking several eggs before hatching rather than opening the moment you reach the requirement. You will know it worked when the Griffin appears as a hatched pet and shows up in your Index.
Once you have it, the Griffin is the best and fastest flying mount available, which is the real payoff. That speed cuts travel time between distant spawn points and makes reaching hard-to-access egg locations far quicker, so future rare-egg hunts become much easier than the volcano grind that earned it.
