Hippogriff (hipogrifo) is a noble creature with a horse’s body and eagle’s wings, with a wingspan well beyond a horse’s and strength enough to carry an armed rider.

Description

Legs are tucked in flight. One order lends hippogriffs in exchange for fighting manticores, and whoever proves worthy may keep them. One voice gives them metal wings and a semi-metallic nature; another calls them heavy, deep and strong.

Use

  • Coyote rides one.
  • The Espira keeps them as mounts.
  • They have been seen taking flight from Venice.
  • One was tied to a post in a mansion garden.

Open questions

  • Whether the order that lends them and the Espira are the same house is not stated.
