yer mum

I have a weakness for dinosaur mounts, but in a more traditional fantasy setting I tend to go for terror-birds and not-chocobos. My pet setting also has wyvern-riders, but I don't tend to allow those for players.

There is nothing like running down one of the lesser races or our weakling cousins from the back of a hard-taught cold one. Of course, you must sometimes spur them lest they stop to feed.

I'm ashamed to say I came here to post this.

So instead I'll actually contribute. I like wyvern and drake mounts, but I have a particular soft spot for griffins and hippogriffs. There's no justification for it in-universe and by all rights they should be shitty mounts. But they're fucking cool so they're in and that's all that matters.
Griffins are faster, more aggressive and harder to tame. Hippogriffs are somewhat easier, and generally stronger if occasionally prone to startling easy. Upsides and downsides from the horse portion of the mount.

But I maintain that horses are damn fine mounts. They may be dull, or too mundane for many in fantasy, but they're a classic. The true knight's noble steed. Horses are cool, dammit. Take pride in the fact your character has a warhorse, name it and take care of it and love the stupid skittish bastard.

I made a halfling for the express purpose of str-based, double lanced beastmaster with a vulture mount-pet.
As you can imagine, it was incredible for the entire two rounds of combat before I took 9001d6 falling damage because the vulture had a grand total of ~12 hp and 12~13 AC
I do like bird mounts though, and, by extension, raptor mounts since they have effectively the same posture

Reminds me of my 3.5 knight character I made.

Went with a halfling so he could ride his mount in dungeons, and made the mount a polar bear because I thought it was fucking awesome. Well, the game I joined was level 15, and since pet health doesn't scale it became immediately apparent that the mount would never survive past the first round of combat.

Ended up just binding the poor thing's spirit to a locket so I could call forth my spectral bear mount whenever I needed.

The Utahraptor
Reasons Why it's Awesome:
>1: It's the largest known member of the Velociraptor family (already cooler than pleb-tier horses). It stands over 7 feet tall, grows to 23 feet long, and can weigh up to 1,100 pounds. That's the size of a goddamn Polar Bear. Who's gonna argue with a guy riding a Polar Bear-sized wall of badass? Nobody who wants to keep living, that's who!
>2: It has a set of Deinonychus-like claws that are thought to grow up to 9.5 inches in length. It has very big, curved daggers attached to its feet.
>3: It has classy-as-fuck feathers (because you've got to look good while dismembering, disemboweling, and devouring your foes).
>4: Like most members of the Velociraptor family, it's a master of camouflage and ambush hunting. And they may have hunted in packs.
>5: It's a Dinosaur. Bitches love Dinosaurs.
>6: It's all American! Found in, and named for, the Dinosaur State, this glorious son of a bitch is just as American as Uncle Sam!

Does anyone in this thread understand how animal domestication works?

The reason we can ride horses and not zebra is because horses have a familial structure that humans have learned to use to their advantage. The horse, camel, and somewhat elephants had to be bread for generations in order to take humans on their backs, they think we are funny looking horses in charge of their family unit and thus kind of do what we want them to.

Zebra, travel in herds for protection and have a nasty ducking instinct, Ostrich are rather ungainly mounts, Llamas are about the closest thing to ancient american domesticated animals big enough to carry a human but not very quickly.

But hey it's fantasy I ain't gotta explain shit.

Notice we don't ride any predators.

If we can domesticate predators and teach them to do tricks, how would their predator nature prevent riding?

I bet that next you're going to tell me that dragons don't exist.

>>49302265
Time really. and the way the predator is structured physically doesn't bear weight on it's back well.

A dog and a wolf can breed and produce an animal that is fertile. They are in essence the same species, though dogs are very selectively breed for traits humans like, temperament, obedience, as well as the size and shape variations. It would take many generations of breeding an animal that looks at you as food, and has the familial structure and stature to carry your weight and move efficiently.

Basically if it preforms in a circus, it can be tamed. if you ride, raise them on a farm it or it is a pet it has been domesticated.

Out of most mythological mounts a dragon makes the most seance to be domesticated or at least agreeable for mounts.

#1 they are intelligent, they can be tamed and trained and in many settings they are as intelligent as a human.

#2 They have a family structure, the brood understands who is the top dragon, the patriarch or matriarch of the line. Get them to think that it is this 2 legged funny looking dragon and you have the first step.

#3 They breed quickly, depending on who's lore you're using how fast do lizards breed? this is very important to consider. as you will need to go though many generations of dragon in your own lifetime to selectively breed ones that are domesticated enough to ride.

The higher the intelligence of the animal can help you in this. just the biggest hurdle will be that any predator big enough to ride is likely big enough to see you as a potential lunch.

>>49293248
As a Canadian I feel the patriotic urge to just say that those are very small mooses. A real moose is the size of large van and can step over small cars the way you or I would step over a waist high fence. In my campaign I use them as mounts for a large humanoid race that are basically vrykul from WoW.

More properly, horseclaw precedes chocobo. It's the same damn thing. They just didn't give proper attribution.

>>49289051
So, did those first two things in the filename get it on to make that or what?

My preferred mount is an elephant, because I can buy one RAW in 5e. And then I can buy plate mail, for the elephant, because it's RAW in 5e. And then I can put all of the casters on top of the elephant fortress and laugh maniacally as every encounter becomes stupid.

Bitch please.

>>49284255
Generally it's a cart they ride in pulled by whatever the local horse or ox equivalent are.
My current character has a wagon pulled by a dire wolf that's been 'broken in'.

First option is always a true dragon. Powerful, majestic as fuck, and probably smarter than you unless you're a wizard (and possibly even then). Next on the list are wyverns/drakes, followed by griffins/hippogriffs, then pegasi. Because, quite frankly, flying > not flying.

If we stick to terrestrial mounts, a heavy warhorse with protective barding is a classic. Terrorbirds and therapods are good single-rider mounts, as well, and elephants and big sauropods with houdas are great multi-rider mounts.

>>49320379
Cavalry charges aren't all about speed, anon. Horses, and armored horses, have a considerable mass advantage to dogs.

Horses have considerable mass to them. If a horse rams into a man, the guy is going to be trampled hard. Then if the horse is wearing armor, that shit is like a wall kissing you.

If a large dog rams into him, he'll be knocked over and startled, but doubtful he'd sustain any serious injury. Probably a concussion if he bangs his head, but no worse than having the air knocked out of him.

>>49320852
Kiss your fuckin kneecaps goodbye though. I'm not saying it would have the same effect as horses, but it would definitely suck.

>>49320379
They actually wouldn't turn faster than a horse, not at speed anyways. It's counter intuitive because horses are built so rigid and don't bend side to side well (their back legs literally can't bend to the side) but because horses can actually dig in and whip around at high speed, kind of like a motorcycle honestly. Dogs meanwhile are way more flexible, but at high speeds they're too floppy to properly turn tight corners while maintaining momentum, they always slow way down or end up rolling over or sliding.

>>49321180
I'm not looking at them as being good from a practical standpoint in the slightest. I want a merchant in Ryuutama to have a turtle or tortoise to ride because that sounds fucking rad. A horse, elephant, or camel are just so normal when I can have any JRPG exoticness I want. Ryuutama's a game where you fight walking eggs and cat-goblins. Why go with something mundane?

>>49321180
That shell must weigh tons, therefore they must have strong-ass legs. Now chisel off the bulk of the shell when it's not necessarily needed for a transport and you've got lots of carrying capability.

Another thing comes to mind is turtles have relatively little rocking and bobbing motion compared to examples you gave so you could probably mount some siege machinery on their backs, assuming you have big enough turtles.

How do halflings feel about being being comic relief any time they try to be physically relevant?

That shit's not hollow, you know. There's turtle in there.

Just casually remove your fingernails, man. No big deal.

Some of the shell, not all of it! It's no damn eggshell.

>>49322111
>>49322161
the shell acts as the skin for areas where the shells covers, and the ridge down the middle is LITERALLY the turtles spine.
You'd have a very hard time chiseling the shell without killing the turtle.
they're not siltwalkers.

Fine. Then just chop off legs, attach them to a container and use necromancy. You've made Luggage.

you'd have better luck carving the shell and then using necromancy to keep it alive.
Also oxford comma, man.

That is horrifying. Please don't paint or carve a creature's shell unless you know what you are doing.

I was just thinking of a special-made platform. Like a house on stilts, but a turtle instead of stilts. A wandering warehouse, if you will. A tiny home on a home.

I'm ultimately imagining these are "world turtles" that grow a couple of inches a year. In Ryuutama's rules, you can buy a "baby" animal and it grow up if you play through. So I'm thinking of starting at a "size 15" pack animal and having it grow throughout play into a pack animal that can carry the higher amounts. Ideally, my merchant could have all the amenities of a little "house" and not just storage on the back of his turtle. And when the first supplement comes out, turtle-san can also be a "house boat" and we could go on river adventures.

Other then the land of Norsca and a single Valkyrie allusion, there wasn't really anything 'Viking' about the Chaos Warriors at all.

Probably an Illithid using Psionic fuckery to impose its own features on a drake, while the drake is an unhatched egg.

She isn't really in need of a mount since her big physical change wrought by her demon pact.
Especially as not many creatures could carry her.

However she's slow, so on long journeys and when in towns to avoid freaking out people to much, she stays mostly in her wagon, lower body concealed below blankets.

Once her husband rode her into a fight, so there's that.

Pic pretty related. Quelaag served as a large point of inspiration.

Humans can't run that fast compared to quadrupeds like horses though. I get it for creepy aesthetic purposes, or if you have a species with very low endurance compared to humans, but it just doesn't seem to add the kind of speed you usually want for a combat mount.

Still stealing it for future fantasy bad guys though.

Either a giant Rhinoceros Beetle or a Giant Isopod. Bugs are cool

Giant spider
Bonus for giant jumping spider
