The Griffin Thunderzord was piloted by the Yellow Ranger.

After Lord Zedd stripped the Zords of their power and sank them into lava under the Earth, Zordon and Alpha were able to use the Sabertooth Tiger Dinozord’s remains to create the Griffin Thunderzord. When summoned, the Sabertooth Tiger was struck by lightning which caused the Dinozord to morph and reform into the Griffin Thunderzord.

It could project fireballs out of its mouth, when the situation called for it. It formed the left leg of both the Thunder Megazord and the MegaTigerzord.

The Griffin Thunderzord was destroyed by Riito Revolto.
