II-17: Big Flying Things Annotated

Page 17

 

Hippogriff: the descriptions warns us though the name implies a cross between the horse and the Griffon, the Hippogriff is another kind of beast entirely. We then read how the hippogriff is a cross between a griffin and a horse! A griffin is a mythological creature (which also appears on the next page of the rules) with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; and wings, head, and talons (as front legs) of an eagle. A Hippogriff changes the lion parts with a horse. In other words? A cross between a horse and a griffon. 

Rocs: the rules do not list Giant Eagles, such as those found in Tolkien's tales, but gives us Rocs which make a fine substitute. This stands out to us because the rules take pains to state these Rocs are […] understood to be that for the small variety […].
