I'd have to pick gryphons, for a variety of reasons:
- Lions are badass, eagles are badass, making gryphons badass squared
- Historically associated with strength and protection
- They're often portrayed as having human-level intelligence and how fucking cool would it be to talk to one
- They would give the absolute best cuddles and you cannot convince me otherwise
Lions are a instantiation of the meta category of predator, which is in itself an instantiation of the 'dragon'. So gryphons are just dragons. My answer is dragon
Lmao, Jordan peterson is so incredibly funny, you just have to see him as a performance artist
