_______________________________________________

i.e. a mythological animal with the body of a winged lion 

(Klingon Alice, p.233):  This is a very specific thing; no Klingon equivalent. I’d suggest transliterating it to something like {ghI’van}. It should work if you’re retaining the line: “If you don’t know what a Gryphon is, look at the picture.”
