Radiant Apex Mounts - Why always Horse, Senche and Wolf?

So I've never gotten an Apex before so I don't care so much, but with the new crates coming out soon I wondered: why is it always the same types?

I bet the horses, senches and wolves are the most popular mounts in general but it's still a bit boring. I'm sure they'd still make money if it wasn't those 3 for once. Why no apex Guar or Bear or something? Or even an Apex Camel? I believe the only exception is the "Ebony Dwarven Spider" which in my opinion doesn't even look good enough to be radiant apex. And I say that as a huge Dwemer fanatic.

Would you guys like other Radiant Apex mounts? If so, what would you like to see? And if not, why not?

    You literally JUST missed the Baandari Pedlar Crates, which were the first Crates to break the pattern.

    They had a Senche, Camel, and Dwarven Spider as the Radiant Apex mounts.

    I actually was pretty pleased when I got the Camel.

    The effect is unique and it IS the only Radiant Camel.

    Absurd that the Xanmeer crates din't have a Radiant guar.

    Though I would hate to be trying to get one, awesome as it would be. It's bad enough just gunning for gems for the regular Apex guar.
    Molag's balls!

    Senche raht model is becoming a trend rn for them so there will probably be more reskinned senche raht radiants like the curse-bound senche raht

    I generally don't find the apex mounts that interesting, they are mostly too obtrusive, glowing, glittering and so on. So, I don't care if there are only those three or others.

    Seconding the Radiant Guar. Or at least add a new kind of Bipedal Mount like a Terror Bird.

    Senche,Wolf and Horses are the most liked type of mounts by many players,add some cool effects to it and viola,people will spend a good amount of cash to get them either way.
    Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.Lewis Carroll

    While I would love more types of elk mounts,I think it would look very weird if they would add some flashy effects to them and some weird looking saddle/bags.

    We need a crown crate with 5 varieties of Riding Rams, and 1 Kagouti dressed up to look like a Riding Ram.

    That said, we are getting Jester crates next. I hope that the mounts will be other animals pretending to be the standard faire.

    Horse: Donkey
    Senche: Bandari Palanquin
    Wolf: Durzog
    Guar: Giant Bantam Guar
    Camel: Giraffe
    Bear: Boar

    Cause they used them so often its easier to just continue reskinning them as opposed to actually having to make new mounts

    The Guar Appreciation Foundation would be outraged to see such a loyal, hardworking and adorbsoverload animal not get counted as an Apex Mount :o

    I find a majority of mounts to be boring even the radiants. Compared to most other games with mounts, ESO mounts are rather unimaginative. The current selection is a little more imaginative. But overall i don't see what the obsession is with the same basic half dozen mounts being reskinned 7 ways to sunday.
