HIPPO GRIFF

A beast whose magica l origins are lost to history, a
hippogriff possesses the wings and forelimbs of an
eagle, the hindquarters of a horse, a nd 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. Whe n 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 fa ithful companion and mount. Of all the
creatures that can serve as flying mounts, hippogriffs
are among the easiest to train and the mos t loyal once
trained properly.
