Gryphon

Gryphons (also called Griffins) were magnificent flying creatures, with the head and talons of aneagle, and the body of a lion, with equine-like ears. Most appear the same as one another, with brownish-gold bodies.

While they do not appear in the books, they are on Aslan's side in the Disney film adaptations. 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 slashed in the wing with her sword, while the other was turned to stone by her wand in mid-flight, and crashed to the ground breaking into pieces.

Telmarine Age
Gryphons 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.

In the books, the Gryphon was the Telmarine's coat of arms. A lot of armies on Earth often used Gryphons because they are usually a sign of great strength.

In the Prince Caspian (Disney movie), The Telmarine coat of arms appears to be a simple star on a shield.

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.
