Hippogriff

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.

Hippogriffs pair-bond, and a hippogriff raised in captivity will usually pair-bond with its owner, becoming a loyal and affectionate mount.
