However, King Grove and his successors stopped him many times. After some time, he stops from trying until the reign of King Guto.

### *Mission to the Griffon Kingdom*

In "Meeting King Guto", he meets with a mysterious griffon, where it's revealed that making a pony guard steel the Idol of Boreas was their plan t create war between ponies and griffons, with Arimaspi gaining the idol.

In "Dining With the Royal Family of Griffonstone", Arimaspi talks with the Lord of Chaos who gives him until full moon to create a war between ponies and griffons or he will never get the Idol of Boreas, motivating him by remembering him that it was ponies who imprisoned his brother Cyclops.

In "A Tour Around Griffonstone", Arimaspi hypnotises a pegasus so he can use him to kill King Guto and create a war between ponies and griffons.

In "Attempted Regicide", after the failed attempt to kill King Guto, the mysterious griffon informs Arimaspi about the failure, something that upsets the one-eyed monster, fearing his master's reaction, but he assures this is far from over.

In "The Tale of Arimaspi", Shining, Gael and Greta finds out he is behind of the attempted robbery of the Idol of Boreas and the attempted murder of King Guto. During his meeting with the mysterious griffon, he makes a new plan to create a war between griffons and ponies and to get his brother out of Tartarus.

In "Dethronement", he invades Griffonstone, where he hypnotises some guards to follow Ulysses' orders.

In "The Idol of Boreas", he and Ulysses go to take the Idol of Boreas. Once Ulysses has it and takes control over griffons, he tries to betray Arimaspi, using a guard to block the way and corn him, but Arimaspi reveals that some griffon who is already under the control of someone is not affected by the Idol of Boreas and so the one-eyed monster uses the guard to subdue Ulysses and to take the idol. Once he has the Idol of Boreas, Arimaspi starts to get control over griffons.

In "The Fall of Arimaspi", after getting the Idol of Boreas, Arimaspi tries to advance with his plans, but Shining is able to stop him. When he finds himself corned by the griffons, he escapes, however he is found by his master who, by his failures, takes the darkness inside Arimaspi's star seed, turning him into a black stone statue that is later found by King Guto and his griffons.
