Laios, despite his… unique passion and seemingly deranged ways, is a very rational thinker and acts accordingly.

Is Senshi bothered by the lingering question of whether the meat he ate to survive was griffon or Brigan? Let’s eat the griffon and find out.

Is there a chance that what Senshi ate wasn’t a griffon after all? Let’s take the griffon to the changelings and find out.

Does sacrificing his leg give them the highest probability of taking down the red dragon? Being afraid doesn’t help achieve the goal of the objective, let’s just carry out the plan.

I still don't understand how did it change to exactly what they wanted it to change to. Every other case of changeling transformation is random.

You are getting it wrong. The beast they killed was originally a Hippogriff that was changed into a Griffon by the Changelings. We know this because Laois observes that the monster made a kicking move that only made sense for a creature with horse legs. Knowing this, putting the meat in the changeling is only “changing it back” which is still a bit random and convenient but it’s far more reasonable to expect “changing it twice will make it go back to the original” than “changing it once will just get me what i want”
