What is your favorite mount type?

Construct Types

I have almost all of the Dwemer animunculi mounts, but my go-to is the Adamant Dwarven Horse, which I named Brasscephalus.

I set mount to random on all my alts. I like seeing the different mounts, and I have collected a lot.

Horse Types

I use the same chestnut horse on all my characters and Companions, except Ember who rides a cat.

Horse Types

All my characters use mounts that make sense for them personally, but my personal favorites are horses and deer/elk. Guar are really cute too.

I wish the horse models were better. That would be the dream.

Felines/cats. The available options don't work because Senche Raht's are modeled on the bear animation, not the cat animation.

I voted horses, because I like them the most. But one of my favourite mounts is my disco mount. There's nothing like riding around on a flashy feline with attitude, leaving flowery footsteps behind.

Depends on the character, but generally medium-sized mounts in preference to small or large ones. Maybe it's just my own perception, but wolves, senche, ornaugs, and the like feel a bit more snappy and seem to jump a bit better than others. With one exception, my Khajiit characters ride around on senche or sabre-cats, my Bosmer ride wolves, I've got an Altmer on the High Isle ornaug and haven't changed it (other Altmer ride Indriks), and the Dunmer likes horses. The other characters ride similar mounts, but no one uses anything outside of those four or five types.

Canine / Wolf / Durzogs Types

I like all mounts (except Guar and Dwemer, oh and most monster looking ones) but some of the large ones like bears, camels, the sencht raht, quassiwhatever just makes me feel nauseous. I like the looks of them but all that bouncing I can't stand.

oh, and on an opinion level I don't count durzog mounts as canine

katanagirl1 · July 20

Cat / Senche Raht Types

I use mostly senches, and senches only, not the senche-rahts because of their weird running animation which I dislike. The smooth gait and the silent paws suite me rather than noisy horse hooves.

The only other one I use is the original gray nix-ox I got when I bought Morrowind because it is smooth and quiet too.

EDIT: sorry hit save before done

Cat / Senche Raht Types

Senche only, because all the other mount types have really weird animations that look extremely uncomfortable - wolf especially.

Cat / Senche Raht Types

I got a White Lion mount named custard free a long time ago. Not fancy, doesn't sparkle or explode or make a spectacle of himself.

He just goes really fast!.

tiriusavarao · July 20

Canine / Wolf / Durzogs Types

Canids, felids and hoof stock (horse/indrik) share the top spot for me. I do enjoy the model work on a lot of the others and some do see use on my alts, but I prefer mounts with smooth motion. The camels sway, the dwemer spiders skitter too much and while the bouncy beat butts are good for a joke, I avoid them for frequent travel.

Hapexamendios · July 20

Cat / Senche Raht Types

Lions and such. Don't like Sench-rahts.

Arunei · July 20

I like all manner of individual Mounts rather than a specific type over the others. My characters all have a Mount that either suits their theme (my crafter/general content do'er has a Zombie theme so she has the Zombie Horse, coincidentally she's also a healer who's name is Stands-Against-Death lol) or fits their character RP-wise.

And since we're talking about Mounts, can I say how much I dislike the Hyena? I don't understand why they didn't just make a new rig for it instead of using the Senche-Raht skeleton. Surely it couldn't have taken TOO much time and effort to model it after an actual irl hyena? Or at the very least just model it after a wolf or something? It looks so unnatural as it is x__x.

Soarora · July 20

Ram / Goat Types

I like senche and indrik/deer a lot but rams hold a unique place in my heart. When they came out, I wanted to collect them all. But I knew that would not be smart of me due to how much money that’d cost. So, I didn’t. But I do have and love Skyram and the Sanguine ram.

BretonMage · July 20

Cat / Senche Raht Types

Senches (not senche rahts) are the only mounts that move smoothly enough that I don't feel queasy riding them. I really enjoy their running animation; somehow they look like they move faster even though I know it's not true. The other types of mounts' up-and-down movements are not comfortable to look at for long periods of time. And I dislike the slapping the guar's behind animation.

I prefer only being mounted on siege.

My Bosmer ride either horses or deer

For my companions:

I'm not sure that the poll is phrase correctly, because I couldn't pick a single type of mount or a mount at all. It depends on my character, my main is a Bosmeri huntress but she uses the dwarven ebony wolf because I'm so proud of the efforts I invested to get it, but my other characters have various mounts depending of their race.

The Altmer has an Indrik, the Nord has a wolf, the orc a polar bear (or the other way round, I don't remember ^^)... I think each type of mount has examples that I find beautiful and others that I don't like at all. My least favourite types probably are heavy weight and camels.
And mammoths. These fluffy guys are way too big, and their riders never care to get down when in cities.

Finedaible · July 22

No stick mounts? Nothing like dunking an opponent with a charging stick, lol.

Kagouti, I just find them cool and one of the few mount types that look like it could actually help you in battle.
