Is a hippogriff a producer consumer or decompose?

A hippogriff is a fictional creature that is part eagle and part horse, commonly found in fantasy literature. As a living organism, it would be classified as a consumer, as it would need to eat other organisms for energy. In the context of an ecosystem, it does not produce its own food like a producer (e.g., plants) nor does it break down organic material like a decomposer (e.g., fungi or bacteria).
