    I laughed when he said, "What a wonderful world!" even after almost getting torn to pieces by a Griffon. Either he's crazy or he has an unnaturally high amount of optimism I wish I have.

      There have always been men like this, even in real life. Mother Nature calls to them and they can't help but marvel at it. It's why so many Victorian era scholars wished to brave such dangerous places like South America and Africa among others to see what they could find. We humans are communal creatures, and like our creature comforts and civilized living...but every once in a while we all feel that wish to see the wild world that once was. They just decided to go out and find it.

    Fun fact on Hippogryphs: They started as a medivial meme. Bestiaries back then featured griffons as real animals in central asia who eat primarily horses. So portraying a griffon fused with a horse is akin to a mouse fused with a cat. A thing of impossibility.
    My most favorite portrayl of Hippogriffs comes from Ernest Drakes guide to fantastical beast. In this fun book Hippogriffs are portrayed as plant eaters to dinstinguish it from the griffon. In a Dimetrodon/Edaphosaurus setting. Two species sharing traits but are unrelated and eat different food. However the eggs look identical. So if you are unsure who you have, you should have horse meat and grain ready. But you should hide ths horse meat, for if its the first thing a hippogriffs sees, it may be traumatized 😅

    I like these videos about the worlds fauna and flora. Tragic stories of heroic men fighting and dying against daemons are all well and good but I really enjoy thinking about what happens to everything else in the world, not just the people.

      This is true for me too. I am a biologist and for me its always great to see unique lifeforms and ecosystems. Often they are among the most interesting aspect of a fantasy or scifi setting.

    Another great video documenting good Hoffman's adventures.
    I find it interesting how Hippogryffs are so savage in the Warhmer World.
    Griffins, Hippogryffs and other beasts have made appareances in all form of fantastic stories, from Harry Potter, D&D and Warcraft to name a few.
    With so many portrayals, even if it less than the iconic dragons, sometimes lore from one series could be mistakenly applied to another.
    For example, I don't remember which fantasy world it was stated that Hippogryffs, being part horse, are more dócil and thus easier to tame than normal griffins yet if one tried that I the Warhammer World, one would likely end with fewer extremities than when they started.

    I have fallen in love with Bretonnia recently and Hippogryphs are my favorite mounts. There is so much untapped potential in that faction, but GW just never fleshed it out fully. Hopefully Old World will give us plenty of interesting lore to sink our teeth into, or I'll just write it myself as fanfiction.
