Hippogriffs are a race of intelligent creatures that are half-eagle and half-horse. They bear the heads, claws and wings of an eagle, and the hindquarters, neck and mane of a horse. Whilst they do eat meat, they are not hunters like normal griffins, instead acting more like a wild horse.

On Ansalon, hippogriffs are wild and untamed, often travelling in packs. Only on the rarest of occasions is one captured, tamed and used as a mount. On Taladas, in the elven nation of Armach-nesti, the Silvanaes Elves frequently tame hippogriffs and use them as mounts.

The Silvanaes Elves refer to hippogriffs as sky-steeds and treat them with care. In response, the intelligent hippogriffs are fiercely loyal to the Silvanaes Elves and will protect them if a threat arises.
