Griffin: The Griffin is a legendary creature with the head, beak and wings of an eagle, the body of a lion and occasionally the tail of a serpent or scorpion. Its origin lies somewhere in the Middle East where it is found in the paintings and sculptures of the ancient Babylonians, Assyrians and Persians.

Lammasu: Lamassu are human headed lions that guard the gates of Assyrian temples and palaces. They have wings, and therefore the power of flight and have great strength.

Shedu: Similar to the Lamassu, this beast that is from Assyrian-Babylonian mythology has a human's head, the body of a bull and wings. It guards temples and palaces.

Mythical bird of prey?

The winged lion is a Venetian symbol of royalty. The closest match I can find is the griffin or griffon - a mythical creature that is part eagle, part lion. However, it would be a lion with wings *and* the head of an eagle. It's a manticore. They can have wings, bat wings or bird wings. They have scorpion or dragon tail. Often depicted with human face. In some cases they are called wyverns, but this is a mistake in nominclature as wyverns are members of the dragon family.Probably the sphinx. It has the body of a lion, the face of a woman, wings, and a penchant for telling riddles.
