The Dark Lord of Derkholm and The Year of the Griffin by Diana Wynne Jones

Gryphons (of course), flying horses, and many other creatures of myth.

The Elder Races series has some pretty good creatures

Dragon Bound (Elder Races, #1) by Thea Harrison - Dragon
Storm's Heart (Elder Races, #2) by Thea Harrison - Thunderbird
Oracle's Moon (Elder Races, #4) by Thea Harrison - Djinn
Serpent's Kiss (Elder Races, #3) by Thea Harrison - Griffin
Kinked (Elder Races, #6) by Thea Harrison - Harpy

And here are some bestiaries of mythical or fictional creatures
A bestiary, or Bestiarum vocabulum is a compendium of beasts. Bestiaries were made popular in the Middle Ages in illustrated volumes that described various animals, birds and even rocks

A Tolkien Bestiary by David Day Faeries by Brian Froud Dragonology The Complete Book of Dragons (Ologies, #1) by Ernest Drake The Book of the Unicorn by Nigel Suckling After Man A Zoology of the Future by Dougal Dixon The Book of Imaginary Beings by Jorge Luis Borges Monster Manual (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebook) by Gary Gygax

There's more here :)
