whitemageofsaturn:skicy:what-the-floofin:There’s a whole bunch of large winged creatures alongside the floofs, aaand of them the hippogryphs are probably least likely to kill you?They typically come in three bases, equine, cervid and caprine-like, but range across the full of those critter families (so a lot of variation!). Are fairly similar to gryphons, but their typical distinctions are large feathery crests, fluff down the full leg, foot shape, and sooometimes being antlered/horned (equines don’t get em tho). Tails are a good tell-point too.Honestly you should be hard pressed to mistake hippogryphs for gryphons? I dunno, we’ll see when I get to those guys.When it comes to coats, the equinae-ish folk are rarely bright and colourful but it’s known to happen. Think bird of prey patterns. Cervidae and Caprinae-ish guys are more often the smallbird bright ones, but not strictly limited to either. @clayton-claytoff @whitemageofsaturn @thelampknowzallGood floofs -- source link
