- The Hippogriff is a creature of Chaos, resembling a Griffon to some extent, although not quite as aggressive. It is not unknown for Hippogriffs to be used as mounts, when they have been captured young and hand-reared by a character with Animal Training skill. Hippogriffs prefer to nest far from Human habitation, usually on lofty and inaccessible mountain crags. In combat, Hippogriffs have four attacks per round, like Griffons. These comprise one bite and two claws to the front and sides and one kick/stomp to the rear.
- A hippogriff is a generally aggressive flying creature with the hindquarters of a horse and the clawed forelegs, wings, and head of a giant eagle.
- Hippogriffs are winged creatures resembling a cross between horses and eagles.
- Hippogriffs are legendary creatures, supposedly the offspring of a griffin and a mare. It has the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a horse. The reason for its great rarity is that griffins regard horses as enemies. It has been suggested this idea was strong enough in medieval times to produce an expression, "to mate griffins with horses", which meant about the same as the modern-day expression, "When pigs fly". The hippogriff was therefore a symbol of impossibility and the power of love. This was supposedly inspired by Virgil's Ecologues: ... mate Gryphons with mares, and in the coming age shy deer and hounds together come to drink.., which would also be the source for the reputed medieval expression, if indeed it was one.
- The Hippogriff(Hippo gryps.) resembles a cross between a Griffin and a horse but is actually a distinct, forest-dwelling species.
- A Hippogriff is the offspring of a horse and a Griffin. It is said to be a symbol of the enduring power and love, as the Gryphon and the equine are generally mortal enemies.
- There are cases when a Griffin, a Monstrous Beast, reproduces with a mare, which would normally be its food. What’s born as a result from this is the Monstrous Beast known as a Hippogriff (ヒポグリフ, Hipogurifu?), which has the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a horse. However, it is an impossible creature which normally should not exist. This is because it should be impossible for a child to be born between a Griffin and a horse, which are predator and prey respectively. The Hippogriff existed only as a hypothetical and philosophical symbol, and it is a "Phantasmal Beast" in the truest sense since its very existence is uncertain. It is inferior in rank to a Griffin from the Age of Gods.
- Hippogriff is a creature that was introduced in the Lowdown in Highport article/adventure by Thomas M. Reid in Dungeon #221. It was added as an alternative to the "hippogriff" creature in the original adventure. [Du221:20]

- En Hippogriff er et magisk vesen som er halvt ørn og halvt hest, fronten og vingene er ganske likt som hos en ørn, mens bakdelen er liknende hest. Hippogriffen er ganske lik som et annet magisk vesen, nemlig Griff, forskjellen er at griffens bakdel likner en løve og ikke en hest. Hippogriffene har stålfargede nebb og store oransje øyne. Hælen på frambeina er en halv fot lang.
