Here's some retroported hippogrphys in Azshara all walking on the ground.

And here are the vanilla wotlk models below. I am wondering if there's an easier way to make it so that these models fly off the ground than editing them in blender to resize them.

What I have been doing is setting creature position_z higher when using a specific model, e.g.
```SQL
UPDATE creature SET position_z = position_z + 6 WHERE `creature`.`id1` = 26925;
```
Updating creature's hoverheight to like 5 or 7
```SQL
UPDATE `creature_template` SET `HoverHeight` = '7' WHERE `creature_template`.`entry` = 7846;
```
And pulling out the ground under them
```SQL
INSERT `creature_movement_template` 130896 (`CreatureId`, `Ground`, `Swim`, `Flight`, `Rooted`, `Chase`, `Random`, `InteractionPauseTimer`) VALUES
(7846, '2','0','0','0','0', '0', NULL);
```
Collision and geo data in creaturemodeldata doesn't' seem to affect them--just the box around them. I don't know about bounding radius or not. Anyone have any ideas?

The reason I don't really wanna change their hover heights and Z position is
1.) Changing their z position only works initially if they are pathers. They spawn in at the set height, then just drop when they start moving.
2.) Setting the ground to 2 is okayish when also adjusted for z-positioning, but can lead to some issues when trying to pull the mob since the client thinks it's so high.
3.) It's easier for me to just keep track of the model data changes in case I need to drop the world db for some reason and rebuild

This problem also affects gryphons, chimeras, dragons, and drakes for me
