The Holy German Empire - Griffin/Gryphon
Many may know of this majestic beast, having been featured in many media of fantasy, it's become quite a star. With the hind body of a lion and the front of an eagle, this monster is iconic. Among mythology, the Griffin was considered to be a symbol of power and highness; The lion is often described to be the king of land-dwelling beasts, and the eagle was portrayed as be king of the skies above.

(I used the draconic legs and the lion tail as a substitute, but from the waist down he would have the body of the Griffin)

The Prussian Empire - Krampus
This nightmarish beast of Christmas was practically the polar opposite of the cheerful St. Nicholas. Its fur was as dark as the night with curling horns upon its head, the sounds of its ringing bells and clinking chains echoing through the silent night. Instead of a simple block of coal for bad behaviour, naughty children would be visited by this horrifying devil of Christmas. Krampus stole these children away from their homes, taking them down to the depths below of a terrifying world. 
Children beware, for naughty behaviour will not give you coal, but a devilish long-tongued horror inside your home.

The German Empire - The Monster of Morbach
"A single candle burns in the village of Morbach as a reminder and a warning."

A singular candle keeps this ferocious beast at bay, being a constant reminder and warning of what it hinders. If this candle was to ever die, a massacre of people would soon follow. This werewolf is relentless and knows no enemy, attacking and killing every living being unfortunate enough to cross its path.
The werewolf was dormant since its last night in 1810 before the candle was lit, but several years later the candle went out... One night in 1988, the beast resurfaced for another night, causing a fright at the nearby airbase, standing tall upon a jet before being spotted by the night patrol guard.
After this night, the candle was lit once again, the Werewolf vanishing again for who knows how many years to follow. Even today, the candle burns bright.

Third Reich - Wolpertinger

(Disclaimer) When I made this character I had no ill intentions, it was purely for a form of entertainment. I am well aware of the history and I don't want to cause any disrespect, this has nothing to do with that and it's simply a work of fiction.
With that said, nowhere in the designs will I illustrate the symbols or accessories and I will not condemn any use of my version of the character for such.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you enjoy the other designs!

Wolpertinger
With a body of many origins, this little critter is a unique beast in a sense. Its body has parts of various descriptions; Wings, antlers, a tail and fangs; all attached to the body of a small mammal. The Wolpertinger specifically has the head of a hare, the body of a squirrel, the antlers of a deer and the wings of a bird, although some illustrations give the Wolpertinger bird talons.
It's similar to the Rasselbock, the Dilldapp, the Swedish skvader and the American Jackalope. All of these are a mixture of animals each having similar aspects.
