Hippogriff (Noble Phantasm)

is the favored mount used by Astolfo. Astolfo secured Hippogriff from the evil magus .
 More specifically, it was obtained from Atlante by Bradamante and then she later loaned it to Astolfo. Though his various legends tell of him riding on the backs of mounts like a Griffin and the famous , the Hippogriff is particularly famous among them. A Hipppogriff appears in the story of "" (The Frenzy of Roland), where Astolfo and his comrades also appear. This story includes the theme of "The Hippogriff makes an appearance here, so no matter how strange it may seem, there is nothing that is truly impossible." In "Orlando Furioso", Astolfo even goes to the Moon with the Hippogriff in order to save Roland.
Astolfo claims that it boasts great speed, and its demolishing attack as it charges is equal to an A-rank physical attack, although that is not the real value of this mythical beast. The true power of the Hippogriff takes advantage of its "impossible existence" nature and amplify it, allowing it to perform short bursts of dimensional shift continually and only for an instant. That dimension is the home of the Phantasmal Species, where only beings that are purely non-physical souls can go to. It is the Reverse Side of the World, which the Hippogriff, when summoned as a Noble Phantasm, can never reach even if it can temporarily glimpse it.Fate/Apocrypha Volume 5: Evil Dragon and the Holy Woman - Chapter 1 This feature allows both the mount and its rider to be non-observable and immune to damage for a very short period of time within this World by phasing through every single attack. However, it also drains mana rapidly, equal to that of an A-rank Noble Phantasm.
If Bradamante were to be summoned in the Rider class, she would have access to the Hippogriff.Bradamante’s Servant Profile from FGO material VIII, translated by Kinalvin
