Elk mount not an elk!

What gives ZOS? There are accurate illustrations of elk roaming the countryside in Wrothgar and other areas of Tamriel. Why didn't ZOS use that illustration for their elk mount?
What ZOS gave us is a reindeer with elk antlers. The body, especially the head, is way out of proportion, and the rump and head on elk is much darker. The legs are longer on an elk, and the body is not as compact on an elk. Why ZOS? Why!?!
I'm still happy to have the new mount, but I'm wondering why ZOS went with a substandard animation when they already had it right with the elk they already had.

✭It looks like an elk to me.
“Kings of the land and the sky we are; proud gryphons.” Stalker stands, the epitome of pride. Naked and muscular, his wings widen and his feet dig in as if he alone holds down the earth and supports the heavens, keeping the two ever separate.”

✭Cause then they'd be accused of laziness if they made it identical.
ZOS has standards, dammit!

✭✭✭✭✭There are different species of elk that have different characteristics in their antlers, as well as extinct species that varied greatly.
Additionally Tamriel is a made up place, with made up things in it, and Tamrielian elk could be different than what we see in the real world...

It also has to look good when someone is sitting on it, and this mount delivers on that where the wolves do not.0 -

On the other hand, if this is the big problem for them in ESO, that is a good thing.

Haha, I don't get why people would buy the wolf mount. It's so out of proportions. But to be honest I couldn't care less about all these ridiculous mounts. The senche tiger is cool though, and has some background in the lore.lordrichter wrote: »It also has to look good when someone is sitting on it, and this mount delivers on that where the wolves do not.

Yeah, not sure what they were thinking with the wolves. Any of the other mounts are better than all the wolves combined.

On the other hand they did take the time to make the event buffs run when you log off, because someone might stack them.
Yeah that is a big problem in ESO, someone might get a buff, log off. Then months later log back on and get 200% experience for 2 hours.Edited by vyndral13preub18_ESO on December 22, 2016 5:29PM0 -

✭whoa, just realized i actually want a moose not an elk.. hopefuly they'll release sometime similar to what they did with the lion mounts.When the snows fall and the white winds blow,
the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.

czar✭✭✭✭My point is that it's a very ugly mount for a very high price, and there's no point spending any amount of money on a purely cosmetic item if it doesn't even look nicestam scrub0

✭Elk mount seems extremely low resolution to me, too.
For $35 bucks I expect a LOT more. Will not buy.4 -

Bumblebeelzebub✭✭✭This looks more like a svelte caribou to me.
Incidentally, Svelte Caribou is my pron name.
Edit: Nope. It looks more like an elk than a caribou. My bad:

✭✭✭WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MOOSE AND AN ELK?
In Alaska I lived on a moose path. Tourists very often said hilarious things when attempting to pluralize the word "moose."
In Yukon Territory, Canada, way way up north I challenged a herd of reindeer to a fight. They ignored me.2
