Griffin
The griffin (also called gryphon, gryphen, griffon, griffen, and gryphin), is a legendary creature. It has the head, front legs, and wings of an eagle. The rest of the body looks like a part of a lion.
In the past, the griffin was a symbol of strength and dexterity. It often looked after a treasure.
The griffin was first seen in art c.3000 B.C., as seen on cylinder seals from Mesopotamia.[1]
