![]() The Moon Guard have a long tradition of training hippogryphs for battle. General Startalon, interred next to Dorendil, commanded the hippogryph riders during the War of the Ancients and was interred before the Sundering. One of the first night elves to speak to the hippogryphs was Dorendil Wildcaller of Suramar, now buried at Tel'anor. ![]() Indeed, their intelligence means that they stand a chance in flying such dangerous weather that no mere bird could withstand. They appear to take pride in successfully navigating difficult conditions, and having the rider commend or acknowledge them for it. There is also an established code system of tapping the hippogryph's neck, as it is far easier to communicate through touch in driving winds. Perfectly capable of understanding sentences, they also respond to code sounds. The brave creatures respond to the female riders as if they shared an empathic bond. The Archers mount the flying beasts and are capable of firing their arrows from the hippogryphs' backs. In the heat of battle, Night Elf Archers can call upon the mighty Hippogryphs to carry them into the air. The hippogryphs are wary of other races, but they're intelligent enough to recognize a friend of a friend. Some say they were created by Cenarius himself as a gift for the night elves. The intelligent hippogryphs have given their allegiance to the night elves in honor of Cenarius, who stands as the protector of nature and all its creatures. Recently it was also discovered that several hippogryphs live 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 Azshara. They patrol the skies above Kalimdor and viciously attack any enemies of the wilds that they encounter. Hippogryphs are ancient, magical beasts whose bodies resemble both stags and ravens.
