    Take another look at the Unicorn armor on its head again, if there were straps on the back of the Unicorn head then I would say yes that is a horse in a costume. And yes there is and take a look at the whole of the horn on the Unicorn head armor again.

    Take a third look because there Are straps between it's ears wrapping around it's head and comes up under the jawline..
    Also the CrownStore Showcase says:
    Is that the famed and incredibly-rare creature of legend, the true Unicorn from Hircine's Oblivion realm of the Hunting Grounds? …Well, no, it's a horse with a golden horn attached to its forehead. But the effect—it's just so magical!

    This is some Sheogorath Trickery...

    Why did they use straps instead of just riveting the darn thing to its skull? Straps make for more horse maintenance.

    Yeah but I think a horse with a perma-headache could be problematic.

    Just use a hollow horn.

    The density of the horn isn't the problem, it's the rivets.

    I don't understand. Hospitals throughout the world are riveting metal to bone without any lasting pain. Heck, I know a lady whose face is more than half metal (you can't tell unless you touch her face). No pain. To take it a step further, there are some folks who have taken transdermal body modification to another level and had metal horns actually implanted.

    That'd be an awful cruel thing to do to a horse for the sake of mere cosmetics.

    These new horse mounts are awful and don't fit into the Elder Scrolls franchise.

    Okay, so I was imagining the Unicorn in TES IV: Oblivion?

    Between the Unicorn, Shadowmere, the Headless Horseman, and Arvak, I'm not sure where this idea that Elder Scrolls mounts have to be boring came from. After all, Skyrim horses could climb mountains.

    I would love a Skyrim horse in ESO. Those things were like all terrain vehicles. I bet I could climb a keep wall in Cryodiil with one of those.

    When I was a kid, the Ringling Brother and Barnum & Bailey circus used a goat that had a horn graphed onto its forehead and toured with it as a "unicorn." It unsurprisingly enraged people so they stopped. But yeah, when it's your body and you're a person able to advocate for yourself and express your own wishes and consent, it's one thing. The idea of doing that to animals that can experience suffering, pain, confusion and anxiety just for human whim and fancy however is gross.

    They should have never allowed anything except normal, living animals - horse, guar, nix-ox.
    Lions and wolves wouldn't be allowed except maybe a bosmer could ride them.

    Edit: so yes I would allow this horse-in-unicorn-barding but not the glitter horse.

    You are picking and choosing your morality.

    If you really felt that passionate about in-game animal cruelty, you would have walked away from the game. Animal cruelty is present in every zone... There are quests that deal with it, including in regards to horses. You are given you the option to extend the cruelty. Rivenspire comes immediately to mind.

    ESO is all about acts that shock the conscience, and forcing you to make choices between bad and worse. The reality of it is that if Tamriel had a fake unicorn market, the horns would be permanently attached. It's cheaper, less maintenance and it's unrealistic to think leather straps could keep the horn properly positioned or intact given the habits of horses. If you are into immersion, a strapped on horn is immersion breaking when set in Tamriel...

    The senche-raht, the battle cats, are ridden by Khajiit, yeah, who when last I looked at a khajiit in game, aren't that much smaller than the average human...

    Senche-raht aren't the same as the senche mounts we have in game.

    Look, I'm a science teacher. I'm really quite sympathetic to the biology/anatomy/physiology argument you are trying to make here, but if we are going to do that I'm going to have to call foul on Morrowind's giant fleas and those are definitely lore. So I try to live with the Artistic License: Biology.

    Vampiric luminescent horse...

    That actually raises an interesting question. Why aren't there vampire animals? They have blood, surely some vampire has attacked deer or sheep and it wouldn't take much to infect them. No reverse zoonosis for Sanguinare Vampiris?
    That'd be an awful cruel thing to do to a horse for the sake of mere cosmetics.

    Better or worse than feeding it magical goo that gives its mind to Molag Bal? I don't think the ASPCA exists in Tamriel.
    Aye, they do and so do women. :)

    Lies. There are no women on the internet!

    Looks like they're ridden by khajit, which are also pretty small. Fact is, no carnivore (predator) is going to make a good beast of burden, their legs and feet aren't designed for it. I mentally grouped senche in with "lion" so I guess bosmer and small khajit could ride them.

    They've also been ridden by at least one Imperial and at least one Dunmer. (Outside of ESO of course.)

    They should have never allowed anything except normal, living animals - horse, guar, nix-ox.
    Lions and wolves wouldn't be allowed except maybe a bosmer could ride them.

    Edit: so yes I would allow this horse-in-unicorn-barding but not the glitter horse.

    You do realize that Senche-raht are a thing, yes?

    The senche-raht, the battle cats, are ridden by Khajiit, yeah, who when last I looked at a khajiit in game, aren't that much smaller than the average human...

    Fine, you can extend artistic license to all normal (tamrielic) animals, and ride senches and bears and wolves. The real offenders are plague-husk, fire atro, electric, dwemer garbage anyway. They only exist because the crown store exists.

    Heh leave it to ZOS to release something in the CS to rile up the peanut gallery.

    Personally, I like the Sanctuary and monkey.

    Not only was there a unicorn in Oblivion, but their horns appeared in Daggerfall, Redguard, and Shadowkey, and the unicorns themselves have already been referenced in literature in this game. They're anything but lorebreaking and those of you who have something inexplicable against levity and girlishness are SOL.

    Unicorns were hunted to near extinction in TES, it would be EXTREMELY lore breaking to have them

    There was one alive during oblivion and this game predates that one.
