basilisks
In European bestiaries and legends, a basilisk ('bæzɪlɪsk[1], from the Greek βασιλίσκος basilískos, "little king"; Latin Regulus) is a legendary reptile reputed to be king of serpents and said to have the power of causing death by a single glance. According to the Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder, the basilisk is a small snake that is so venomous that it leaves a wide trail of deadly venom in its wake, and its gaze is likewise lethal. Basilisk is also the name of a genus of small lizards, (family Corytophanidae). The Green Basilisk, also called plumed basilisk, is a lizard that can run across the surface of water.

Griffin

The gryphon, or griffin, has the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. It lives among the remote islands of the Indian Ocean. It has a natural instinct for finding treasure and lines its nest with gold. Its claws change colors in the presence of poison, while wax from it's ears, burned with mistletoe produces a healing fume.
