Gryphon
Hybrids of cats and birds, Gryphons are skillful predators and faithful companions. As is true of cats and birds, some subspecies of Gryphons live in prides or flocks, while others are more solitary in their nature. Gryphons can be trained, but cannot be fully domesticated, and if they feel that they are consistently mistreated or neglected then they will either kill their masters or simply fly away. Generally, Gryphons prefer wide open spaces with plenty of hunting ground.
