For my campaign , at the moment i'm thinking of making 6 Artifact that have a soul of a powerful creature with them
the Creatures are based on
>Fenrir
>The nemean lion
>One red dragon
>one white dragon
>A griffin
> one base on Typhon from greek mythology

and at the moment i can't think of any ability from them apart being able to cover the wielder in a suit of armour

Fenrir: get STR 30, do double damage to items and building, get advantage on all ability checks made to break things.

Nemean lion: Immunity to all damages

Typhon: Double the number of attacks the user can do as part of their Attack or Multiattack action.

Have any lorewise information on the dragons and griffen?

Namean lion is known for its inpenetrable hide; so some sort of invulenerability or damage resistanteffect. Oh and the axe pretty much has to be gold lol. Its got me think of the lion sin of pride from 7 Deadly Sins so maybe draw inspirstion from that.

Fenrir im not as great on the lore of but i know it can only be restrained by a nonexistant chain. I think he was also destined to eat the moon and kill odin but im not completely sure.

Typhon is basically a storm giant god unless im mistaken. So some sort of storm aura, maybe a better version of the barbarian thing as that was nerfed to obscurity.

Seeing your application of the griphon being storm based maybe use typheus as apposed to typhon. Typheos i believe was (sometimes the same person) but more of a volcano
