It will fight to the death to keep evil and corruption out of its territory. The griffin is hailed as “the king of all creatures,” and it is has the right personality for its title: noble, fearsome, and above all else, protective. These beasts are usually drawn with the front legs of an eagle and the back legs of a lion, but sometimes, all four legs are lion-like. Behind the wings, the feathers fade into tawny fur, and the lion’s body takes over. At their shoulders, a pair of powerful, feathered wings emerge. Two tufts of feathers spring up from their heads, representing a lion’s ears.
Their heads come from the eagle they are coated in glossy feathers, usually brown or golden, and have dangerous, curved beaks.
Griffins combined the best traits from the eagle (“king of the birds”) and the lion (“king of the beasts”).
