Gryphon

Gryphons (also called Griffins) were magnificent flying creatures, part eagle and part lion, with equine ears. They fought for Aslan's Army during the Battle of Beruna. One served as a scout and reported the coming of the White Witch's Army to the High King Peter and General Oreius. At the start of the battle they bombarded the Witch's army with rocks, while dodging arrows and fighting Harpies. At one point two of the gryphons attacked the White Witch; one was killed with her sword, while the other was turned to stone by her wand in mid-flight, and crashed to the ground breaking into pieces.

Gryphons apparently survived the conquest as they are seen with the Old-Narnian Army in Prince Caspian. During the Narnian Revolution, Gryphons flew Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Caspian to Miraz's castle during the Telmarine Castle Night Raid. They again helped their fellow Narnians during the Second Battle of Beruna, where they carried Dwarf archers toward the Telmarine army. That strategy failed, however, due to the Telmarines' war machines shooting the gryphons down.

Trivia

 * Gryphons are not in the books, but they were used in the Disney and Walden media film of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and it's sequel Prince Caspian. They also appear in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe video game and the Prince Caspian video game based on the movies.
 * The only Gryphon with a speaking part in the movies was voiced by Cameron Rhodes.
 * In the BBC version of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, there is an animated creature that bears a resemblance to a Gryphon. This was one of the creatures to rescue Edmund by picking him up and flying out of the witches reach, before placing him on the back of a pegasus.
