The haughty, proud creature shifts, hooves clopping against stone. A majestic fusion of horse and eagle, it eclipses both in grandeur and lethality. Clicking its beak, its eyes emanate courage and a rare cunning among beasts. Eagerly, it flicks its wings, poised for the exhilaration of flight. A captivating embodiment of grace and strength.
A beast whose magical origins are lost to history, a hippogriff possesses the wings and forelimbs of an eagle, the hindquarters of a horse, and a head that combines the features of both animals.
Reclusive and omnivorous, hippogriffs mate for life and seldom venture more than a few miles from their nest. When defending its mate or its young, a hippogriff fights to the death. Hippogriffs don't lay eggs but give birth to live young.
Dragons, griffons, and wyverns have a taste for hippogriff meat and frequently prey on these creatures.
Flying Mounts. A hippogriff raised in captivity can be trained to be a faithful companion and mount. Of all the creatures that can serve as flying mounts, hippogriffs are among the easiest to train and the most loyal once trained properly.
