Since I don't have time for a proper post, here are some nifty pictures I found of mythological creatures when I was flicking ;)

Enjoy!
Hippogryphs (namesakes of this site):

A Gryphon (for comparison's sake - note the lion's end rather than the horses' hindquarters seen in the hippogriff. I have seen hippogryph renderings with a lion's forepaws - and prefer them, to tell the truth - but the two above were the neatest ones I found.):

And while I'm at it, here's the stained glass wolf that I used as a pattern for my pumpkin this year (which turned out pretty darn well... maybe tina will post it someday and it'll show up here too):

And last but certainly not least, Pegasus:
