Gryphons, regal and emblematic figures, are often used in Heraldry. They are legendary creatures with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the gryphon was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature, the king of the creatures. Gryphons are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions.
