Self explanatory, they don't have to be giant. Just want a "flying" mount, and one that references past elder scrolls and lore.

What is best in Cyrodiil?

A Silt Strider is basically a giant netch.
Your argument "Netches were never mountable in TES" is invalid because neither were bears, guars or camels... (can't believe you just made that argument)Master Debater0 -

How is that basically a giant netch?
Has Bethesda ever referenced Silk Striders being or looking like netches? I don't know if they have or not but a Netch is definitely a typically smaller version of a Silk Strider. I suppose you could argue Silk Striders have hard shells that can be cut out for a riding place, but I think they're essientally one in the same, no reason why riding some sort of netch would be against lore considering they even make Dark Elfs passive increase fire/ice/lighting now instead of just fire.
That's beside the point though, the structure of Netches and Silk Stiders are the same. Silk striders are meant for multiple people, where as a netch would only be mountable for 1 person. It makes perfect lore sense if you really want to think about, I feel like you're just against flying mounts even if their just hovering mounts...Master Debater0 -

I'm not against it. I just don't think they are comparable. A netch is soft with tenticals. A Silt Strider has a hard exoskeleton with legs. Netchs fly or float. Silt Striders walk. Silt Striders have their shells hollowed out a bit to ride in. Netches you would just sit on their head? The structures are not the same at all. They just have vaugely similar shapes. I don't care one way or another if they give us Netch mounts. I'm only opposed to you calling Netches smaller Silt Striders as they are not even close to having the same biology. They are just roughly a similar shape. A netch is like a giant jellyfish, a silt strider is more like a giant bug.PC/EU DC2 -

a silt strider is NOT a netch, in TES lore camels, Senche, wolves, bears and guars were bred for riding or use as beasts of burden.
SILT STRIDERGiant arthropods, which can be up to 60 feet tall. Used as a means of transport in Morrowind by manipulating exposed organs and tissues. It is said that their numbers dwindled due to the Red Year, when the eruption of the Red Mountain killed most of them and destroyed their native habitat.
NETCHNetch are large and generally peaceful creatures that resemble airborne jellyfish with the size and disposition of cattle, floating through the air supported by internal sacks of magical gases. Although male ("Bull") netch are larger than the female ("Betty"), and sometimes possess the ability to poison their opponents, the latter can be provoked into aggression more easily. They are usually peaceful but can be defensive of their territory, particularly during breeding season. Netch are often domesticated in Morrowind, mainly due to their hides making good quality leather, although the skin contains a toxin that renders the meat inedible.[1] While feral Betties usually keep a harem of several Bulls, herders often keep the female-male ratio low for faster breeding. Some wild families appeared in Solstheim in the Fourth Era, perhaps drawn by the familiar flora that had grown up in the southern ashlands following the Red Year.- Vicktor Bloodtail - L42 Argonian Magblade, Werewolf - EP

Silt Striders don't fly. Wasn't that your original point that you want a "flying" mount?PC/EU DC0
