Not sure... what I have found is this:

"the Hippogriff is a fantastical creature that works in group as opposed to
being solitary; like say dragons or griffons."

Also... a picture of a Hippogriff:

Reaper)

Hippogriff Hoof is used in Alchemy -

And another picture: http://www.harlequin-miniatures.com/h7120.html   The
Hippogriff seems to be a popular Monster in fantasy games.

Not sure if that helps or not.
