griffin?

A Griffin is part eagle part lion.

The Sphynx was an Egyptian mythological creature that was part man part lion. The Manticore would also fit that description, with the body of a lion and the face of a man.

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.


What kind of creature is part Cow part Pig part Goat part Sheep and part Deer?

There is no creature. I searched & searched and couldn't find one like this. You have probably mixed up 2 creatures. I heard a story about a creature called Drybones made of the remains of a hog, the tail of a raccoon, the eyes of an owl, and the hands of a bear. It was as tall as a tree and could speak. But I think that creature may fall under chimera, which usually refers to any mixture of animals, but most often to one that has the wings of a bat, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion, or a larger, dragon-like creature with the heads of a lion, a goat, and a snake.
