Well i can respect your opinion cause thats all these really are. But in my opinion it looks horrible. And i did not spend money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I appreciate that the front legs look weird for a pegasus, but I have to ask: what kind of ducks do they have where you live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in my opinion it looks horrible. And i did not spend money on it. Their biggest mistake was calling it a pegasus, they should have came up with something unique.

Amaren.9326 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 It's a hippogriff. Back half horse, front half avian. If they'd called it a hippogriff, there'd be a lot less rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBaron.6058 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 The proper name for this skin should be: The Flying Donkey. It represents exactly the skin and has a resemblance to The Flying Dutchman, which is a cool name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you assume that it's a horse? or a zebra? Now imagine a world where you had never seen a real horse, only fantastic interpretations and horse-like creatures (like dragons in our world). Then you saw that, looking as close to a horse-creature "pegasus" you've ever seen. Do you assume it's a "hippogryph"? or a pegasus?

Of course, the griffon mount isn't that similar to a mythological gryphon either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the griffon mount isn't that similar to a mythological gryphon either... this is because they cannot skin a "real" horse body onto the bone/rig of the griffon. The griffon has short stubby legs, therefore their "pegasus" skin has to be disproportionate, and it's just sad. Plus, they probably didn't spend too much time on fixing it in the first place cuz that skin quota So the best horse type is going to be a skin for the jackal and no pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta admit... I got it today, was actually disappointed because I was really hoping for the whale glider this time... Flew it in circles for five or ten minutes just staring at those amazing, beautiful wings. Maybe I might fly me some griffon now sometimes, instead of skyscale all the time.

videoboy.4162 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I just got mine from a chest earlier and finally figured out what was bugging me. The other Griffons seem to be split between two animals. The front half looks like one animal and the back half the second animal. This skin isn't divided in half like that. It goes: Horse head, griffon legs, horse legs, griffon butt. Not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
