A Hippogriff (also spelled Hippogryph) is a legendary creature, supposedly the offspring of a griffin and a mare. The reason for its great rarity is that griffins regard horses as prey. It has been suggested this idea was strong enough in medieval times to produce an expression, "to mate griffins with horses", which meant about the same as the modern expression, "When pigs fly". The hippogriff was therefore a symbol of impossibility and love.
