The Gryphon (or Griffin) was the mythical beast that had the forequarters of an eagle and the hindquarters of a lion. Since the lion was the king of beasts and the eagle the king of birds, the gryphon was considered the king of all creatures.

They are widely depicted as guardians of great treasures.
