What's next? Ducks? Penguins ? Bunnies ? Hedgehogs ? Pandas ? Sloths (maximum speed 5) ?

I love all of these pro cow comments

Come on ZOS! Someone nudge Nick Giacomini.

Important reminder!
Cow mounts are special.
Remember: player have to milk theirs cow mount at least once a day, only after milking maintenance player is allowed to ride the cow mount till next day.

We need a ESO Farmstead. Every farm animal.

Cow butts don't have collision. Neither do many other large animals. The collision starts a ways into their back end.

I made a suggestion a while back, for animal furnishing packs. Like a Farm Pack with 6-8 animals in it (pig, chicken, rabbit, goat, cow...) or a Wildlife pack (bear, wolf, tiger, lion...). Traditional furnishing, non-pathable (to keep them out of the pet/houseguest slots). Just some idle animations for "lifelike" appearance. Kinda like target dummies, minus the combat interaction. Maybe even NPC packs. Same concept, just humanoid races. The packs could be race sets (orcs, argonians, humans...) or themed like nobles attire, commoners, festival themed (Jester, New Life...) and be some standing and some seated, or a toggle when placing them to switch between sit and stand.

I can see a lot of people are apparently into this, and I mean nothing personal against others in my expression of my opposition to this idea.
I don't think cows would be great to introduce as mounts, and I really hope they never do this. It would be another immersive-breaking creature in the tamriel petting zoo, and it is ill suited as a mount.
I do however get the appeal of cows as furniture, and calfs as well, and there's already cows (in Rivenspire for instance), that could be the blueprint for those, but it would be great if they were not introduced as pets and mounts - please.

I wouldn't say it's immersion-breaking. Skyrim had commoners walking around with cows - usually taking them to a giant camp as a sacrifice. I'd rather see cows in ESO than the next flashy, neon-colored, exploding thing.

Yes but they weren't riding them! I did not say cows would be immersion breaking, they already exist in many places and fit right in, but I said they are ill suited as mounts, I think that would be immersion breaking.
Also yes, not interested in the next neon-mount, but cows for riding - please no.

It almost seems like you have done specific research to determine this

i think rats and wolves are way more ill suited as mounts, but we have both so i think more animals is better.

giant rabbit is another mount i wish for

I mean, there are cultures in the real world that ride water buffalos. I don't think riding a cow would be much different.

THIS! Yes please!!

Does anyone know who we poke these days to get the proper eyes on this? I don't imagine most studio types cruise the forums on any regular basis unless assigned here especially after the axe has fallen

Just concluded a guild run housing contest...and I had no cows. Important stuff here, ZOS. Do you want our heroes to get brittle bone disease and osteoperosis?! I will immediately quit and never buy s ZOS product again if you don't make cows for non combat pets! (Not really but that seems to be the tone players are using these days.)
Cows. Please How is Santa going to wash down his cookies?!

My Bosmer servant says you could just drink pig's milk - like any normal person.

Or mammoth, or goat. Plenty of milk around. There are also cows around in the game.

I fear if they added cows as mounts it will like all other mounts, use the same skeleton and animation as an already existing mount type, and soon we will have horrible FX cows.
