Half horse half Eagle...Maybe half Griffon, The Hippogriff is a fearsome predator, weighing in at approximately 800 pounds (nearly twice the weight of a Griffin) they sustain themselves on equines and herd animals and occasionally fish. Their only natural predators are dragons and of course Griffons which they will attack on sight. Like the Griffin, they will attack their legendary foe without regard to personal safety or the safety of their riders. Conflicts with Griffins are rare as they inhabit different climates. Hippogriffs inhabit temperate regions while Grifins live in arid tundra. Hippogriffs unlike their cousins are more readily tamed and accepting of a rider making them the preferred mount between the two.
