Gryphons

With the head, front claws, and wings of an eagle and the body and tail of a lion, Gryphons are intimidating to look at and even more intimidating to stare down in a fight. They make excellent protection, and are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions. Thought to be the king of all creatures, gryphons can often control some animal species, and you are likely to see more wild animals around you in your day to day life if you have a gryphon, although they will always keep a wide path around you so as not to anger your gryphon. They are excellent for communication with the forest and nature, and make good companions as well due to their high intelligence.
