A hippogriff. Nothing more, nothing less. A fantastic creature that, much like dragons, I greatly admire and respect. Out of my love for these creatures, I had read almost everything available to commoners about them when I was younger. Because of this, I knew enough to understand that an angry hippogriff like the one before me was far from pleasant to deal with.
Hippogriffs are imposing beings, symbols of grace and strength. They combine the characteristics of two majestic species: the upper half of their body is that of a colossal eagle, while the lower half belongs to a powerful horse. With such a combination, they possess exceptional abilities for both flying and running, making them formidable adversaries both in the sky and on the ground. Moreover, as hybrids of two distinct species, hippogriffs have affinities for two different types of magic: air, associated with eagles, and earth, linked to horses.
