Welcome to the roost of the Hippogryphi, guest...



July 8, 2007
Goodness it's been a while since my last update. More adoptables, more customs, more adopted, etc. :]

June 8, 2007
Added a paragraph in the About Gryphis section on their diet. Added a new link too.

June 4, 2007
I added Grey/Silver and Elecric adoptables. There's also a 50x150 button at the bottom of the page if you'd like to use that one.

Woot! Adoptables! You can find these by clicking on the link above. For now, I only have the four basic colors, but I will be adding more in the next few weeks. Yes, I do customs! More about that in the new section.

Gryphi's page is finally done! I'll be adding more
in the future, but for now, take a button at the bottom
of the page. =]

Intro


You find yourself walking through the mountains of eastern Altador after taking a wrong turn while looking for the next place to go for the plot. Never trust phony petpage guides again. Anyway, these craggy peaks are not the place to be at sundown, so you pull a torn map out of your backpack. Just as you find your location, the wind picks up, and tosses the map over a cliff. That was your last hope, as you left your compass at home. Lousy luck. Stomping your feet in anger, you accidentally jolt the rock you're standing on loose, causing you to trip off the cliff. Wow, I bet you were cursed by a dark faerie. Well, it was nice knowin' ya.

Instead of falling to a certain doom, you hit a bed of thatch with a thud. Looking around, you see a cluster of nests built into the cliff rock surrounding you. You have caught the attention of 15 or so eyrie-like creatures. You better not be their dinner. After realizing that you're not a threat, one of them comes up to you. Smiling, she says, "Nice of you to, er, drop in." Looking around, she continues, "We're a pack of Crested Gryphis. I'm called Mavros, but you can call me Gryphi if you like."

You realize you are welcome here.

Friends and Family


Palimire, my younger sister. She's always in Maraqua, hanging out with her many friends. I would go visit her, but I can't breathe underwater!

Gr8_Smile, my oldest sister. Her prevous owner had bad taste in names, so I call her Kauie. :) Visit her petpage sometime, too.

Ayuithe, my older sister. I never see her. She's usually in her Altador home. You would think I would see her more since she's close by, but I can't find her house!

About Hippogryphis


The genus
Hippogryphi, a sub-class of Eyrie, inahbit eastern Neopia. Their range spans part of Mystery Island and the islands to the north and east, the Altador region, and the Shenkuu region. Hippogryphii were thought to inahbit parts of Tyrannia, but that has been disproven.

Hippogryphii are distinguishable from Eyries because of their more elaborate plumage. Many Hippogryphii, such as the Crested Gryphi, have very detailed markings with vibrant colors. In addition to the plumage, they have a larger wingspan than their western cousins, as well as longer legs.

Their cry is unmistakable: a loud, high-pitched whistle. Travellers ofter reffer to it as 'The Anthem of the Mountains'. Taking into account the fact that Hippogryphii are very talkative, and that each one has its own key it whistles in, that name might be the most accurate description.

The Hippogryphi are omnivores, more or less depending on the species. The Gryphis of south-eastern Neopia, including Altador and the mountain range to the east, feed mostly on small game and fish, though they've been known to hunt much larger prey. To both of them, petpets such as Altachucks and Hydruplits are rare treats. The endangered Shenkuurian Gryphus is know to consume large amounts of bamboo and other grasses, but rarely eats meat. However, farmers realize that any stray Pygui is lunch for these rare beasts.

Hippogryphis are one of the less intelligent sub-species of Eyrie. Unlike their Meridell and Neopia Central relatives, Hippogryphii are incapable of living human lives and tool use. However, they are still capable of speech. The Altador Gryphi, the smartest of the Hippogryphi, is capable of leaning as many as two new languages. But due to memory issues, the Hippogryphi are incapable of reading.
