An Ursagryph is a type of Predacon alternate mode which resembles a cross between a bear and a falcon. Known Ursagryphs include Grimwing and Darksteel.^[1]

According to a statement at Toy Fair 2013, the Ursagryph is toy designer Lenny Panzica's favorite mythological creature, and the design basis of Grimwing, and thus that of Darksteel and Budora as well. The Ursagryph is a wildly obscure product of modern fiction, so you're unlikely to find a non-Transformers mention of it without a deep dive into Google.

-An ursagryph is a form of Cybertronian life in the [[Transformers Prime]] universe, assuming the [[Predacons]] of that continuity sprung up from native life on Cybertron or were such life, as the TV show gives allusions to. It is presumably a portmanteau of ursine (Latin for bear) and gryphon, making it a large metallic bear with wings that may shoot lasers out of its eyes. [[Grimwing (Prime)]] and [[Darksteel (Prime)]] are two known Transformers that use the ursagryph form.
