DnD扔骰子之类的东西就不说了，从文字说明开始

The beast has the hindquarters of a mighty black stag and the head, wings and forelegs of a large raven. Antlers rise from its black-feathered head.

这种野兽的后躯像一头骄傲的黑鹿，而头、翅膀和前肢则像一只巨大的乌鸦。在覆盖着黑色羽毛的头部长出鹿角。

Description

描述

Contrary to common belief, hippogryphs are not simply beasts that act as night elf mounts. They are no less itelligent than humanoid races, in fact, though they are wary of of non-elf races -- kobolds and humans have both attempted to enslave hippogryphs. Most hippogryphs dwell in Ashenvale and other regions commonly inhabited by night elves. They have been the staunch partners of the night elves from time immemorial. Indeed, some say that hippogryphs were experiments created by the night elves, or gifts of Cenarius. While kind and generous among night elves, hippogryphs are hardened to the demands of fighting demonic forces.

与众人所知的恰恰相反，角鹰并非充当暗夜精灵坐骑的简单的野兽。事实上，它们的智力水平一点都不比人形种族少，它们对精灵以外的种族十分警惕——狗头人和人类都曾试图奴役角鹰兽。

大部分角鹰兽居住在灰谷，或者其他暗夜精灵生活的地方。早在有历史记载之前它们就已经是暗夜精灵的坚定合作伙伴了。有人说，角鹰兽是暗夜精灵创做的实验品，也有人说是塞纳留斯的恩赐。

角鹰兽对待暗夜精灵和蔼而慷慨，而响应对抗恶魔势力的召唤时则十分坚定。

Night elf Sentinels watch over hippogryph eggs, and the night elves are seen as part of the hippogryph families. Likewise, hippogryphs care for the children of the night elves. Though most prefer to stay and protect communities, young hippogryphs taken with the urge to explore and see the forest beyond their nests often serve as willing mounts for night elf windwarriors.

暗夜精灵哨兵们看护角鹰兽的蛋，她们被视为角鹰兽家庭的一部分。同样，角鹰兽也照顾暗夜精灵的孩子。

虽然大多数角鹰兽更愿意呆着保卫鸟群，但年轻的角鹰兽充满探索的渴望，它们把整片森林看得比自己的巢穴更重要，因此往往愿意充当暗夜精灵角鹰兽骑士的坐骑。

Hippogryphs speak Darnassian, but are capable of learning Common and other languages.

角鹰兽讲达纳苏斯语，但也具有学习通用语和其他语言的能力。

我没看到哪部小说里描写了角鹰兽开口说话的场景，但是它们似乎是能说话的。

角鹰兽不是随意地就能当你的坐骑的，你得求它。必须是角鹰本人愿意飞，还得愿意载着你飞。

它的智力比人类只高不低，你要是戏耍它，你要小心它会不会把你驮到半空中然后翻跟头把你扔下去再抓起来……一旦飞到天上可就是它的主场了。

所以你最好对角鹰兽放尊重一点……比如：

“能与你一同飞行我感到十分荣幸”泰兰德如此对角鹰兽说道。

 

角鹰确实是外观上最好看的非稀有非高价坐骑，但是大部分情况下需要做N久的日常来获取，这是不是跟角鹰兽培养感情啊。
