Bakugan Official Handbook
The Griffon looks like it was made from three different creatures. It has the body of a lion, wings of an eagle, and the tail of a reptile.
Bakugan Ultimate Handbook
Griffon looks like a mythical monster that's a combination of several animals. It's got the fierce head and claws of a lion, the powerful wings of an eagle, a tail that's a poisonous serpent, and the hard-kicking legs of a goat. Before Griffon lashes out with its claw of tail, it can emit a deafening roar that will stun its opponents.

Dan Kuso had many Pyrus Griffons, and Tatsuya owned a Pyrus Griffon as well. Runo Misaki had some Haos Griffons and Klaus von Hertzon had two Aquos Griffons.
Dan's and Runo's Griffons have been sent to the Doom Dimension by many of Masquerade's minions.
The first Aquos Griffon Klaus used was sent to the Doom Dimension when his Mind Ghost trick backfired. The second one was defeated by the newly evolved Dual Hydranoid.

- In ball form, Griffon has 4 visible toes on each of their goat legs, yet in their true form, Griffon have only two toes on each goat leg.
