ROFL

Mythological beasts commonly depicted as having the head, forelegs and wings of an eagle, and the hindquarters, tail and occasionally ears of a lion. They have been known for centuries as symbols of strength and vigilance, and have been called "The Hounds of Zeus". In some mythologies, they represent the wealth of the sun. In others, they are said to have hoardes of fabulous treasure, which they guard endlessly.

This is where I came up with the name when I knew I wanted a griffon theme to the clan I was starting.

That prolly explains "Fear the Talon" also.
