Ideas for Glorious Mounts and Creatures

Hello Everyone

I thought that I'd be nice for us to have a Section where we could share Ideas for what we think could make for glorious Mounts and Creatures.

How about a A Squirrel Mount for the Py'Rai?
After looking at some of the Py'Rai Architecture Concepts, which is very much one with nature and trees, I thought, "wouldn't it be great to have a squirrel mount?" With all those big trees out there on which you can build houses, some of these trees surely have big nuts too, and it just makes sense to me, that there would be a creature out there that really wants to munch on these nuts - Giant Squirrels.

I also noticed that I've not seen any Wild Pigs in Verra yet, so how about a (Battle Trained) Wild Boar Mount with some neat fur markings? I think that could be awesome!

Look at this glorious wild pig! It's so fluffy!

A nice little mount that can get up and move and glide when he wants too. It's from my own ttrpg. It's called a Trelmak. This was done by Magic the Gathering famed artist, Mark Tedin for us. Just thought something like this fits within the Vera landscape or something similar.

Very cool!

Something like this would be lovely. A fitting mount for a summoner of death.

Goats.

I love simple mounts.

Great ideas in here, everyone

What creature-combos can you think of, as well? Think 2-3 creatures mashed into one!

Is this, Mendelian Genetics.... butterfly.meme

Dibs on the mimic x elephant hybrid that is basically just a walking treasure chest with elephant ears, and a mimic's long gangly arm and hand for a trunk. Let's go with crab legs since it's a sideways moving mimic chest. So yeah. I don't think you can get any more bizarre and yet perfectly synergistic than this. Change my mind. I call it the 7 ton mimic.

Hippo x Mimic would be a good front facing mimic chimera. Just a hippo with a mimic for a head, complete with teeth and arms. It's a bit more simple than the 7 ton mimic but I'm just thinking outside of the box here.

Multiheaded hydra, giant snake, and an armored creature turtle/armadillo. A well protected multiheaded serpent. If I can't breed undead beasties then I need snake nightmare fuel.

Caww

Just give me a horse that looks like a horse and not some cross between a horse and whatever else the artist remembers from childhood...

An 8-legged Anteater, with a spider's mandible on the end of its snout, and huge anteater-claws on each of its 8 legs!

I'd like mounts that you don't ride on top of but they either form around you and you are inside or they transform you. Or a trinket kind of object perhaps ancient, technological or religious which adds something onto your body - wings or something you attach to your boots and they become like rocket boots or just get blessed by some deity/demon/angel/spirit of speed and only your legs morph into what the diety of speed's physical form would be like different legs that are better for running.
Stuff like this.

Could be interesting to have a mount more like a stegosaurus like creature where you could have a saddle on one side and a supply bag on the other to balance the weight. Definitely something more unique and interesting. Or say some form of creature where you are in a side car or sled that can be pulled by a pair of mounts such as wolves or something.

It took me a while, but I think that I've come up with a pretty bizzare and interesting concept for a creature.

Creature Description:
It would be a combination of Shark, Octopus, and Isopod!

I think it should have:
- The Maw and Speed of a Shark
- The Tentacles and potentially even the Camouflage Ability of an Octopus
- The Chitin Armor Plates of an Isopod
- Several Eyes to give you that maximum amount of discomfort when it stares directly at you

Origin and Behavior:
I believe this creature's origin is far from entirely natural.
It likely violently adapted and evolved after being bombarded by corruption during the Fall of Verra.
It would be Uncannily Intelligent, and it would prefer to attack those who are alone, injured, or particuarly intelligent like Mages.

Alternatively, it could have been bred by the Ancients for War.

This nightmarish creature could be an Ambush Predator.
It might prefer to observe, stalk, and surprise single individuals, and maybe even wait until they start a fight against something else, before it would try to overwhelming and consuming their unsuspecting prey by grabbing them with its tentacles and then violently chomping down on them, tearing them to shreds with its sharp teeth.
And its chitin armor plates might make it resilient to certain types of damage.

Potential Name:
I believe that this creature should have an eldritch-esque name like "Zhal'Qorak", I think that fits.
Alternatively, just name it after me. I'd be happy with that too.

What do you think?

I would also like to ride on the shoulder of a giant of some kind

This could be

- a basic giant like Tumoc or something
- giant rock golem
- etc.

As far as creature combos go

A giant + anything else lol

One word:

Capybara.

How about a rainbow feathered mount like a lorikeet but it's got crystalline dragonfly wings with the body of a wombat.

@Ace1234

I came here to say this. I would love a humanoid mount were you get to ride on the shoulder(s) of a large ogre or giant type creature. Most mounts seem to be 4 or more legs and you dont see a humanoid mount very often in games. I really hope they make something like this.

Heck yeah, the ogre looks awesome

I would love to see a Fire-Centipede. I think the walk/run animations would feel soooooo good and look really interesting.
