GRYPHON - Gryphons were creatures from Greek mythology with body of a lion and head and wings of an eagle. In tales and myths Gryphons were guardians of royal thrones and fearsome beasts in wars. Gryphons were worshiped as kings of all beasts because they had parts of lion na eagle - both of these animals are considered kings of their sorts (lion is king of animals while eagle is king of birds).
