Griffin

Griffin

A Griffin is a mythological creature or Hybrid animal made up of two types of real animals.  The Griffin has the head, front legs, and wings of an eagle and the back half of the body is that of a lion.  it has a lion's tail and sometimes the front legs are of a lion instead of the eagle legs. 

Because the lion is king of the beasts... and the eagle is king of the birds. . . the Griffin is considered very noble and powerful.
