** ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'': Sky Lynx's {{combin|ingMecha}}ed beast mode has the head and wings of a bird (a prehistoric bird of indeterminate species instead of an eagle) and the lower body of a big cat (a lynx instead of a lion), making him resemble an Opinicus-type gryphon. He still differs a little from that body-plan due to his tail coming from his bird mode.

* It has been suggested that the myths of the gryphons are connected to the sphinx and the Mesopotamian shedu and lammassu (which also influenced the origins of [[OurAngelsAreDifferent cherubs]], other lion bodied creatures generally depicted with wings).

to:

* The Gundestrup Cauldron, which shows various scenes from Myth/CelticMythology, has griffins running about within the images. Since the ancient Celts had contact with the Scythians, it's of little surprise that griffins would pop up in Celtic myth too, even if any oral traditions about them no longer survive. Griffins also appear on the shields of two [[OurGodsAreDifferent De Danann]] brothers that aid Fionn Mac Cumhaill on a quest, implying that some may exist in [[HomeOfTheGods Tir Na Nog.]]
