==Modern representations== [[File:Flight of the Hippogriff at Islands of Adventure.jpg|thumb|189px|An [[animatronic]] Hippogriff in the nest on the left side of the lift hill of the roller coaster ''Flight of the Hippogriff'' in Orlando, Florida]] * Artist [[Max Klinger]] used the hippogriff amongst other objects in his drawing ''Fantasy and the Artist'' to note his disparagement for artistic work that relies on out-worn and clichΓ©d symbolism.<ref name="Morton2014">{{cite book|last=Morton|first=Dr Marsha|title=Max Klinger and Wilhelmine Culture: On the Threshold of German Modernism|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uX_fBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA34|access-date=31 May 2015|date=2014-07-28|publisher=Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.|isbn=9781409467588|pages=34β}}</ref> * In a [[hoax]] initially perpetrated in 1904 in [[Lake George (town), New York|Lake George]], [[New York State]], tricksters used a fake "monster" which became known as "The Hippogriff". The creation had a head of a bird of prey, teeth, and two large horse ears, which could be controlled from below. The pranks and sightings faded until 1999 when several people staying at the Island Harbour House Hotel stated they had seen a sea monster at night. The old hoax was uncovered by the ''Daily News'' and the Lake George Historical Association Museum, which created a copy of the original wooden monster to display to the public in August 2002.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Radford|first1=Benjamin| last2=Nickell| first2=Joe|title=Lake monster mysteries: investigating the world's most elusive creatures |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=w8psW1D7DV0C&q=hippogriff&pg=PA104 |year=2006 |publisher=University Press of Kentucky |pages=101β109 |isbn=9780813123943}}</ref> * The hippogriff appears in various works of fantasy, such as works of [[E.

Wodehouse]]'s [[Jeeves]] stories. * The fantasy role-playing game ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' includes a version of the creature, which is described as having a horse's "ears, neck, mane, torso, and hind legs" and an eagle's "wings, forelegs, and face". According to the game's rules, the creatures are closely related to [[griffin]]s and [[pegasus|pegasi]]. Hippogriffs, pegasi, and horses are all hunted by griffins as the latter have a strong attraction to the flesh of horses.<ref>{{cite book | title=[[Monstrous Manual]] | editor=Doug Stewart | editor-link=Doug Stewart (game designer) | page=190 | publisher=[[TSR, Inc]] | year=1993}}</ref> An artistic representation of the hippogriff drawing inspiration from real eagles and horses was used for the cover of the third booklet of the original [[Dungeons & Dragons (1974)|''Dungeons & Dragons'' (1974)]] edition.<ref>{{cite book |title=Dungeons & Dragons Art & Arcana: a visual history |last1=Witwer |first1=Michael |last2=Newman |first2=Kyle |last3=Peterson |first3=Jonathan |last4=Witwer |first4=Sam |last5=Manganiello |first5=Joe |date=October 2018 |isbn=9780399580949 |publisher=[[Ten Speed Press]] |oclc=1033548473 |pages=20β21, 27}}</ref> * As with many ancient mythical beasts, a hippogriff named [[Rubeus Hagrid#Buckbeak|Buckbeak]] (subsequently "Witherwings") features prominently in ''[[Harry Potter (series)|Harry Potter]]''.<ref name =NBC>{{cite news|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna5182794|title=Behind the Magic of 'Harry Potter'|last=Roker|first=Al|work=[[NBC News]]|date=2004-06-11|access-date=2013-10-24}}</ref> Buckbeak first appears in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and appears in later books as well.
