It looks like the Gryphon is the snotty version of the griffin - a combination of lion and eagle.

Interesting note - many years ago I was the manager of an old movie theatre in Jersey City, NJ called the Loews Jersey. Atop the facade was a no-longer-working clock and statue that (at least back in 1929) was animated at the hour - that statue was St. George slaying the griffin (instead of a dragon).
