Or a single spider mount, and have it be a hybrid between tarantula and widow. Perhaps wifow shaped, except slightly bulkier and hairy like a tarantula.
Holy F, I want a spider mount so bad now. 😯
Maybe a cash shop version with a bowtie and top hat yeah.
Nah. That's dumb. Would definitely have to be creepy and menacing looking. To the point you can't tell if it's even semi-sentient or not while it stares ominously at you with glassy, seemingly vacant eyes, not moving a muscle. It should have 0 animation except when moving. Maybe an emote that sways slowly, while it fidgets quickly with its pedipalps and "drools" from it's mandibles.
That would be cool. I remember having a Dwarven Spider in ESO, and that was always fun to use.
That's what the noncash shop one is for. Serious spider should be free, cute chad that is mildly immersion breaking should be cash shop. You leave my douglas alone!
Water Mounts
My favorite animal are horses and i hope there will be size diversity among them From large breed horses
with big hooves and hair around the horse's feet, to slender horse breeds like the Arabian horse.
Would also be nice to have diversity on the horses mane and tail, from super long to short.
Sence i like horses i found something intresting on google, a hybrid between a horse and a raptor. Fits well for the Animal husbandry. :P
I like some of the ideas here and I know the collage took you effort, but it's so overwhelming it's hard to comment. Might have been better as separate posts per category.
I dislike horses so I am pretty biased against bipedal horses. They hit uncanny valley hard and fast.
Some of the mooses you have would probably fit @Mardagen desire.
I think more of these suit actual bosses than mounts, like the chimera.
The elephant you posted reminded me that I'd love to see a truly new take on 'mount with a dexterous trunk.' The snail with legs intrepid created made me think there might be a surprising unique way to do this. Like a terrestrial octopus with a tentacle trunk or something.
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.
I love simple mounts.
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.
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!
Stuff like this.
I kinda wanna see more fox mount variety, i realy want a white one with red tips/features.
also wouldnt mind seeing a arcane wolf, so like magical wolf with runes etched into its body

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
Capybara.
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.
that boulder hammer looks too difficult to balance :P
Heck yeah, the ogre looks awesome
