From there they would prowl the surrounding landscape in search of sheep and cattle to eat although they where known for praying on men and [[Greenskins unit roster/Orc and Goblin units|orcs]] aswell. When hippogryphs went in for the attack they went almost berserk in their fury which could result in the slaying of an entire herd of animals. They are however not the smartest of animals and a prey that got out of sight was quickly forgotten as the hippogryph would instead start looking for new prey. Hippogryphs where extreamly territorial and would fight to the death against anything that entered their territory, be they man, dragon or even another hippogryph. This ment that hippogryphs often avoided each others territory. Hippogryphs would sometimes attack the eyries of [[Pegasus|pegasi]] in order to take them as their own but they tended to avoid the eyries of the [[Great Eagle|great eagles]] that also inhabited the Grey Mountains. === Bretonnian Hippogryphs === Hippogryphs where concidered favoured mounts by those bretonnian knights who wanted a mount more fierce than a Pegasi. Taming a hippogryph was concidered one of the most worthy challenges a bretonnian lord could face which made them much sought after. This was no easy feat however as a hippogryph must be captured and broken at a very young age so chicks or eggs would have to be stolen from the eyrie of adult hippogryphs, a very dangerous mission sometimes given to knights errants searching to prove themself but more often given to pesants with the promice of "huge rewards" to anyone that survived and returned with a healthy egg or chick. Even when tamed a hippogryph rider had to be ever watchfull as even a temporary loss of control could make the hippogryph throw its master out of the saddle === Real life === In real life the first mention of a hippogryph that we know of comes from the poem ''Orlando Furioso'' by italian author Ludovico Ariosto (1447-1533 AD). In the poem a hippogryph is said to be the result of a union between a mare and a griffon. [[Category: Bretonnia mounts]] [[Category:Total War: Warhammer mounts]]
