Useful Info

Hippogriffs are freakish flying hybrids. They have multiple attacks that can add up damage fast against lightly armoured opponents, but aren't particularly threatening otherwise. They can be found in the Lair.

Tips & Tricks

Hippogriffs, like most "natural" creatures, are susceptible to poison and easy to hex.

History

  • In 0.19, they were merged with griffons, which slightly buffed hippogriffs' HP and damage.
