What exotic animal do you want to see as a mount in ESO? And by exotic I mean completely normal

Mind, you’d need a saddle between you and those spikes…

I'm a sucker for drakes, but not listed are those big bristleback boars you run across out in the wilds of Southern Elsweyr, Western Skyrim, etc. How awesome would it be to come charging up on the back of one of those?

But if I had to chose it would be for ones available to just purchase normally with crowns, rather than gamble boxes or endeavour grinds. 😁

Whaddaya mean we have no turtles in the game? Of course we do. Mighty Chudan, just to name one. And there are lots in Elsweyr too.

Off topic, kind of, but did you ever realize that humanity managed to ride horses over 5000 years ago, whereas the mammoths are exticted for just 4000 years?
A fur wearing barbarian could biologically have ridden on his mammoth in front of the construction zones of the pyramids in Egypt.

Let that sink.

Though I am grateful the eso spiders aren't nearly as nasty as their horrid cousins from skyrim. Bloody awful car sized monstrosities that tend to drop from the ceiling, or hissing and spitting sneak up on you - AAARGHH - it's in my face again - NOOOO!
I can't even play without modding those away. They gave me horrible nightmares and arachnophobia.

Edited for poor spelling (I swear this isn't just my standard signature).

I remember being a little worried when played Skyrim (particularly that mine where you have to clear out the spiders) but I was ok.

Though there was that one delve where a GIANT one drops down from the ceiling which startled me.

I want a giant with a backpack as a mount where the backpack is the saddle where you sit in it

Except a Mammoth would not have survived in that climate, so no.

Here is a cute spider. I'd have him for a pet, and maybe a larger cousin as a mount

Long, long, long past due for flying mounts. GW2 has an amazing skyscale that you have to put some serious work in to get. All of it pretty clever and fitting for the most part. But having that adorable flying mount, and soaring over the maps? PRICELESS

I'd like my companion to have a "pair of coconut halves" emote, and have it banging them together.

I'd love a platypus, preferably male (venomous). Maybe he could keep us from being dismounted by 3 inches of water on the ground.

However, I do wonder where all the dingos went after they ate all the babies.

Hey @Jaustink, thanks for starting this thread. And thanks to @MasterSpatula for opening my eyes to the ways of the hippo.

We've shared this thread with our dev team for possible consideration in the future. Making no promises, but they are definitely taking a look at the thread. Thanks everyone for your thoughts here.

Side note, but I’m still disappointed they didn’t make the ‘Timber Mammoths’ in Valenwood elephants instead of actual mammoths.

I have a friend who would lose her ever-loving mind to have one of these as a mount. She already adores the non-combat pet varieties.

I continue to advocate for a cool spider mount. Apparently it's spider day today, because I found this:



And then going back to the whole hippo and Moon Night reference



Apparently WoW has hippo mounts:



and of course we need a pet!

I live to serve, @ZOS_Kevin. The hippopotamus is one of the deadliest animals on Earth, as you can see from its fearsome visage.

Bird/Eagle/Gryphon --> doesn't have to fly, but it's animation can make it look like it's flying

I literally don't care how they would animate a gryphon mount, I just want one!!! The quasigriffs are cool but they just aren't the same (especially when you're me and don't really like the heavyweight model)
