Despite what you might think, griffon-based [[monstergirls]] are actually something of a rarity; because of the base-monster's design of "eagle at front, lion at back", it can be hard to create a monstergirl that actually looks like the griffon without going full-fledged [[beastfolk]]. For what it's worth, [[furry]] griffons are actually somewhat rare as well, mostly because of two reasons: firstly, the "average" fan of sexy anthros tends to regard mythical monster-based anthros, like [[dragon]]s and griffons, as being somewhat pretentious and often the sign of their equivalent of the [[munchkin]]. Secondly, that eagle-for-a-face thing; avian anthros are a rarity amongst furry fans because most find them hard to "humanize" in a way that even reptiles aren't.

Still, griffon-girls (or morphs passed off as monstergirls) aren't unheard of. They usually draw from the more noble symbology of the griffon, tending to be proud, passionate, loyal and true. That ferocity may manifest as either a lust for battle, a heavy appreciation of sex, or both.  Also, as mentioned above, they do appear in My Little Pony, and there is no shortage of material from that font. 

In the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]], the griffon is essentially a [[catgirl]]/[[harpy]] cross, with the upper body of an eagle-themed (brown & gray feathers & hair) harpy with both wings and claw-like arms, and the lower half of a lion-girl, with some rather plumage-like fur tufts around the calves. They are characterized as proud, fierce, haughty guardians of ancient ruins, who nonetheless become passionate and devoted to men they like.
