Gryphon

Gryphons (also spelt as Griffons) are flying monsters that live up north. They tend to collect gold for their nests and even lay golden eggs.
== Appearance ==
Gryphons have the body of a lion, with the face and feet of an eagle on their front legs (though some have paws), beady red eyes, and a long, sharp beak. They also have a pair of large wings on their backs that allow them to fly. They are commonly coloured black. Percy Jackson thought they would look like noble animals, like lions and wings, but once he saw one he decided they reminded him more of flying hyenas. According to Apollo, they have adapted over the years, becoming smaller and scrappier in order to survive.

* Name
== Abilities ==
* Gryphons can fly at high speeds.
* Their beaks, claws, and talons are extremely sharp.
* They have a sleek and stealthy design, so they are fast and sometimes hard to spot.
== Trivia ==
* Gryphons lay golden eggs and collect objects that look golden.
* Gryphons are present in many mythologies, from Egyptian times until modern day.
* It has still continued to be a favoured decorative theme in Archaic and Classical Greek art.
* Lots of times, gryphons have pointy ears, one example is the gryphon from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Supposedly, they belong to a lion, but appearance-wise they more like a horse's ears.
