A few hippogryphs are also nearly entirely white, and seems to be the preferred variant used by the Silver Covenant. The white-brown variant is mostly used as a mount within the Argent Crusade. The green variant is also common in Ashenvale (though not found on this location in the game), and thus the type chosen by night elves to be their mounts. Most hippogryphs in Azshara and Howling Fjord are white with brown wings, but Azshara also holds a number of green ones with orange wings. Feralas-hippogryphs are the most colorful, with either dark blue or purple-pink feathers. The colors of a hippogryph's feathers may vary, and different hippogryphs inhabit different areas. When Wrath of the Lich King was released, it was also revealed that several hippogryphs are found in the northern Howling Fjords. While a few of them can be found in Ashenvale, the majority of hippogryphs inhabit the south-western Feralas and the northern Azshara. In the game, most hippogryphs are found in Kalimdor. Carrying night elf archers, hippogryphs make careful circling attacks, darting within range long enough for a shot before wheeling away. If trapped on the ground, hippogryphs charge, trying to get space to regain the air. Without riders, they attack in quick dives, striking with their beaks followed by swipes with their talons. Hippogryphs have a keen awareness of aerial tactics. Hippogryphs speak Darnassian, but are capable of learning Common and other languages. Though most prefer to stay and protect communities, young hippogryphs taken with the urge to explore and see the forest beyond their nests often serve as willing mounts for night elf windwarriors. Likewise, hippogryphs care for the children of the night elves. ![]() Night elf Sentinels watch over nests of hippogryph eggs. While kind and generous to their night elf companions, hippogryphs are ferocious and fearsome beasts when fighting any creature they deem hostile. ![]() Indeed, some legends say that hippogryphs may have originally been created by the night elves, or that they were gifts from Cenarius. Most hippogryphs dwell in Ashenvale and other forested regions commonly inhabited by night elves, and have been the staunch partners of the Kaldorei from time immemorial. They are no less intelligent than most humanoid races, in fact - though they are wary of non-elf races, as kobolds and humans have both attempted to enslave hippogryphs in the past. In addition many other mounts have had their running animations changed.Contrary to common belief, hippogryphs are not simply domesticated beasts that serve as night elf mounts. Additionally nothing was even mentioned about the update to the Hippogryph run animations, it was just sort of stealthily added. This has been present since the beginning of 9.1, and still hasn’t seen any solution. This likely has something to do with the Hippogryph soulshape using the actual Cloudwing model.Īlso, the Cloudwing mount active’s (spacebar command) became bugged after patch 9.1, and no longer produces any audio when used.Īnother visual bug patch 9.1 introduced has shifted the orb placed below the front of the harness to the side, and upward, where previously it hung in the circular opening. In the images from the links below, you can see that the seating position has been moved up so far on the Cloudwing that the harness of the mount actually cuts into the player’s chest. After the Hippogryph soulshape was added to the game I noticed that the running animation, and models for many of the Hippogryph mounts was changed, and it broke all of the Azsuna Hippogryphs, especially the Cloudwing.
