GRIFFIN
"The frightful Griffins (so legends tell) Amid the far Rhipaean mountains dwell."
H.P. Lovecraft, Gryphus In Asinum Mutatus
"They are described as hybrid monsters having the body of a lion and the head, torso, and legs of an eagle with large ears."
Carol Rose, Giants, Monsters and Dragons
"The Griffin is a monster with the body of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and back covered in feathers. India was assigned as the native country of the Griffins. It has long claws and talons of such a size that the people of that country make them into drinking-cups."
Thomas Bullfinch, Bullfinch's Mythology
