The harpygriff is a griffin-harpy hybrid creature with the origins in the mythology, legend and folklore of Medieval England. In particular, accounts of its existence can first be traced back to its use within Medieval European Heraldry.
The harpygriffs have the head like a Gryphon (that is to say, the head of an eagle, with the ears of a horse), as well as a lion's tail, a midsection like a human woman, and wings like an eagle in place of humanoid arms or animal forelegs. Thus, it appears to be a hybrid of gryphon and garpy in one body.
