Homebrew Hippogriff/Seapony Species Details

 

The Glory of Mount Aeris

Far away from Equestria, a mountain darts from the sea and breaches past the clouds. This is Mount Aeris, the home of the mythical Hippogriffs. To most ponies, these creatures are only legends.

Hippogriffs are reluctant to leave their ancestral home. The mountain is the center of their culture and traditions. Hippogriffs who are raised out outside of the mountain dream of reaching it. Those who leave it mostly leave to discover themselves or to escape from the fanciful culture of the Hippogriffs.

 

The Worth of an Individual

Hippogriffs both value history, pride, and silliness. Their culture revolves around festivals and events that both serve to commemorate important points in history, but also serve to help them let loose. 

Their playful and sincere approach to history and pride in their seccies has lead them to value freedom and self expression. Hippogriffs are encouraged to find themselves and grow so they can become part of an amazing lineage. Hippogriffs value the individual, as a company of outstanding Hippogriffs makes an unstoppable team.
