    I mean, humans aren't riding giant apes, are they?

    Root worms would have been more interesting and lore friendly, imo.

    And now I want a Gorilla mount.

    It looks like a Durzog :D I’m betting it’s from the collectors edition.

    Not enough eyes to be a Durzog. :( Now if it had been a big ridable Durzog, that would have been cool!

    Well it better not be using senche animations because if it does, I'll pass.

      I think it's pretty clearly a reptile skin of a cat.
      Which means there is likelihood of reptile skins for all mounts.

      It's not a cat. From what I could see (but I wasn't paying attention) the idle animations are those of the bear mounts. It even has the tiny stub tail. I don't think we saw the mount move but I'm ready for disappointment.

      Now, after we saw senche and bear sharing really similar look, I think this will be theme of next crate season (after Sleepy Hollow crates)... I really liked the bear muzzle, and the roar "Hist sap" effect looked very cool <3 It would be so nice if these mounts were available (especially for direct store purchase) right when the DLC comes, I want to look at them all in game before I choose :) I wonder how the guar will look.

      Lyris would make an nice ponygirl, so one of the companions would be a bit useful.

      Grinding just make you go in circles.
      Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

      I'm hoping it's in the regular cash shop, but odds are it will be gambling boxes. @_@

      Unique mount models have never been in loot boxes before, so i think odds are that it will be a regular cash shop purchase.

      Sadly, I think you're right. I'm pretty sure these will be the apex mounts of the crate season after the headless horsemen ones.
      I think the thing Gina was referring to in the video is Murkmire as a whole as included with ESO+, not the mount, it's just mistimed and seems like she is referring to the mount.

      I'll be happy to be proved wrong but we shall see when the datamine comes out!

      I just hope it doesn’t run like a bear.

      I don't want to burst your bubble, but I saw a critter that looked like this mount when I played some of Murkmire at PAX West. It definitely seemed to be using bear animations.

      For anyone that's curious, the enemy in question looked like the mount in the picture and had a name with "Ei" in it, which means "eye" in Jel (the Argonian language).

      Idk. This mount's head looks good, but its body and this small flappy tail are just weird. It would have looked better if they used wolf or senche skeleton as a base instead of bear's. :D

      Apparently molded on top of a bear frame, so it'll have the bear animations, which are the worst mount animations in the game.
      Also, I've learned it doesn't have a tail, which is super disappointing. It would be so incredible with a proper dragon tail.

      I guess I won't be getting it, even though it looks great from the front. The head is wonderful.

      and they probably will.
      They most likely have a reptile version of all the mounts
      Horses, Cats, Wolves, Camels, Bears, and some unique looking Guar.

      It does, just more like a bear stub, as opposed to a gator tail.
      Expect that for the Wolf model

      ...They have Kagouti and Guar. Which are definitely reptilian in appearance. Even if we got wamasus. Still reptilian.

      They ride wamasu!!!
      May the Schwartz be with you.
