Flying mounts querry

I was just wondering if any Elder Scrolls buffs know of any mention in the lore concerning flying creatures or mechanical creations that were used as transportation?

    If you read my question correctly, you would see that I was not asking for ESO to bring in flying mounts.
    I was just wondering about the lore concerning flying transportation. I never said anything about hoping ESO brings in flying mounts. I wouldn't want that to happen anyway. Would remind me too much of WoW :s

    Dwemer Hoverboards or Scooters

    In the deepest, darkest, last unexplored Dwemer city, you will find a massive hall. In that hall are tens of thousands of Dwemer hoverboards scattered about, all charred and melted.

    Sprinkled everywhere about these creations are the ashes of all the Dwemer who were incinerated by the boards when they tried to ascend to a new consciousness.

    That's what really happened to the Dwemer!

    So many things they could do that don't involve dragons.

    The dwemer had giant walking crossbow siege machines. A Dwemer airship. There were all kinds of schematics we hunted down in Morrowind. Getting a quest together to find the blueprints, the materials, the fuel/power source for something "new" the ancient dwemer made could be really fun and interesting.

    The dragons are hiding or temporarily dead until Alduin finishes his trip through the Time Tunnel. There are a few still around, rumor has it, but not in enough numbers to be mounts for wanna be dragonborn to hang off their necks.

    The Dwemer had aircrafts. The Altmer and Reman's mananauts had spaceships (not necessarily mechanical) and there were/are colonies on the moons. And then there was the Battlespire.

    I rode a harpy once.

    No that doesn't sound right.

    A Harpy gave me a lift and dropped me off in Kozanset.

    Edit: Still sounds wrong, it wasn't anything romantic, I clang on for dear life because I didn't want her to ruin my designer Graklha gra-Rug clothes with her razor sharp talons. We barely spoke two words and then she just shook me off, didn't even have the decency to go fly lower. What did I ever do to her? Perhaps it was a hint to lose a few pounds. Anyways, I don't think we'll be seeing each other anymore.

    I don't like flying mounts personally . I don't like a lot of lore breaking ground mounts we have now . I respect others that want them though . I'd like somewhere a line to be drawn at some point on this issue .

    While it is possible to ride a creature in skyrim, I don't think that would be possible in this timeline. But hey if they do implement flying mounts I could see the following creatures as flying mounts.....some of them would be funny to see as mounts though. But then again they could also allow users who unlock certain spells or such to be capable of flying by some means too. Like for example: giving us some advanced levitation spell or adding in a new form for vampires to unlock that'll give them wings or whatever. Yet I doubt they'll implement it since they don't allow you to go underwater. lol

    I feel ya Ro.
    Also, I just googled 'cliff racers' and now I know the name of the creature that kept killing me when I played Morrowind!
