The gryphon, also spelled griffin or griffon, is a mythical creature that is half eagle, half lion. It's been one of my favorite mythical creatures ever since I was a little kid.
The colors I've used for this skin might be unusual. It's based on a story I read when I was in like 3rd grade, called "The Terrible Griffon" (as you could guess by the title, the creature was, much to my dismay, the villain of this story). It was a very memorable design and has been my go-to design for generic gryphons.
