Phelddagrif
Faster than an ordinary hippo. More powerful also than an ordinary hippo. Able to leap over small sivers ith a single bound. Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a glider! It's a Phelddagrif!
All-Natural Magic Was it not for their feathery wings and purple skin, these high-flying hippopotamuses could almost be mistaken from afar for an everyday animal. But setting foot near these magical beasts quickly puts such thoughts to rest. With an undeniable magnetism and charisma, being near a phelddagrif gives most people goosebumps, especially those with an affinity for the magical arts.
At first blush, many assume the phelddagrif is a result of magical experimentation gone awry, another by-product of research by a deranged spellcaster. But in fact, the phelddagrif is an entirely natural creature, with records and fossils of the beast spanning back thousands of years. All the same, the phelddagrif remains a unique rarity, and most creatures consider seeing one to be a good omen, and a sign of luck ahead.
Constand Helper While similar in appearance to a hippo, the phelddagrif is much less test, and angering one can actually prove quite difficult. The phelddagrif seems to have an almost supernatural sense for a person's moral compass, and will often immediately flee if it doesn't like what it sees. Even when attacked, the phelddagrif would rather flee than fight. The only exception to this rule is if a phelddagrif sees someone else in trouble, in which case it will readily involve itself in a bottle, using its healing magic and special talents to provide aid where it can.
