Manticore

Manticores, at first glance, would appear to be gross parodies of Griffons. The Manticore looks to be an unholy union of a wyvern with a lion. Leathery wyvern's wings and a barbed tail, dripping with poison, extend from the leonine body of a Manticore.

To top off the horrific image, the Manticore's halo of lion's mane surrounds a frighteningly humanoid face, seemingly capable of displaying emotion, though no one has ever described a Manticore's visage as displaying anything other than abject hatred.
