Will there be climbing mounts?

I picture something like a giant lizard or spider mount capable of climbing cliffs and even clinging to ceiling in caverns in the underground zones. ARK has a few creatures that do this, and it's a fun way to travel around the map without flying everywhere and could be used for tactical purposes.

    Sounds cool but I think it causes a similar issue to flying mounts which causes people to lose the sense of exploration because they can take the quick way over certain areas. Also the last thing I want to deal with is a giant spider waiting in ambush in a dark cave haha.

    I don't really agree there Gentle.

    Climbing mounts add the exploration of different areas you would normally not access. Flying Mounts just stop exploration all together.
    This does however mean, that Intrepid would have to fill this climbable areas with content worth exploring, which is the primary bottleneck i think, especially pre-release.
    I'd rather see them implement it with an update, but properly post launch, rather than a hasty solution pre-launch.

    This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.

    If they don't add climbing mounts I'll just bunny hop over mountains.
