What are some mounts from your setting rarely seen in conventional fantasy media?
>>93238382Your mom
>>93239209That's not rare though; OP' mom gets ridden in almost any setting.Anyhow, in my setting the Orcs that live on the central steppes are know for riding bison around. I wanted them to have something bigger and scarier than horses, while not being too over the top.
>>93239512You can do better than bison. Just reheat some prehistoric megafauna.
>>93238382Mech Dragons
>>93239646>there is no way those wings are generating enough lift and thrust to offset drag and gravity.
>>93239614Bison is perfectly fine, if you ask meFeels more grounded and less like something a middle schooler would go for
>>93238382Donkeys
>>93238382Giant elands for not!Africa, you steer them by their horns.Couple hobgoblin nomads use undead as beasts of burden, no one really mounts them. Both their ancestors and enemy corpses. Those are the exception though. Most hobs use dinosaurs, with some other beasts to specific tasks, like giant bats to locate iron deposites.
>>93239803I see what you're getting at, But are bison really "orky"?They're slow and don't have horns or towing capacity.
>>93239614Ah yes the Megatherium, aka the prehistoric giant ground sloth
>>93239879Bison can run up 35 mph/56 km/hThey have horns that they can gore with, and are incredibly strong
>>93239879>don't have hornsThey do, though.
Just steal from Runequest
>>93239730It's called magic bitch! This is why I have a giant badass mech dragon and you don't!
Go the Legend of Zelda route and just have the mount be a motor cycle.
>>93240260Based and llamapilled
>>93239730In addition to the maintenance required. I'm a helicopter mechanic and we average 30 labor hours of maintenance for every hour of flight put on the helicopter.
Bumpfag thread or Edna thread. Call it.
>>93241981What's the agenda here, anon? Annoy the jannies enough to vacation anyone who points those autists out? Or did you just figure them out and are overwhelmed with the urge to fit in? Cuz this shit isn't either of them, just a regular shit thread.
>>93239209OP's mom is a pretty conventional mount in her home town.
>>93241956Well then maybe you dummies should get dragons instead.
>>93241989Cope.
>>93239209He said unconvetional and you go for cow meat.>>93238382Insect mounts don't get enough love but slugs are the drip right now
>>93240025Yeah you're right, my bad, I was thinking bigger like yak or water Buffalo.Total size queen
>>93239730>>93239646Mech dragon walkers. Loved these things.
>>93246715
Bird.
>>93238382Not a 'mount', per se, but in a quasi-Aztec, quasi-Venetian city, the 'roads' are water, and there are magical tiles that are propelled down them, kind of a mix of magic carpets and Venetian gondolas.
>>93238382doggo
>>93239614Orcs (the brutal kind) would definitely ride Entelodontidae AKA hell pigs.
>>93238382bats are underused
>>93252327Something that was sadly mostly lost in the transition to a MMO
Crabs
>>93252655
>>93252664
>>93238382I wanna ride harpies.Occasionally into battle I guess.
>>93238382Fuck off mate.Can we, for once, talk about cool mount ideas or something without everyone advertising their yUr SeTtInG?
>>93252898Take it easy “mate”
>>93252539They just gave them to someone else
>>93252176Unsounded does this.
>>93254251Which was really stupid because they already had bat-like gargoyles.Besides, the Horde only had wyverns for mounts during the relevant expansions.
